He said that 15 years later it is “completely obvious” that Western claims of protecting civilians were false, describing the war as an effort to dismantle a state that challenged “Western financial hegemony.”
NATO turned Libya “from the country with the highest standard of living in Africa into a failed state plunged into chaos and civil wars,” Mehran emphasized.
