Libya Was 'Balkanized' Following NATO Intervention in 2011, Nigerien Political Scientist SaysThe security of Sahel countries has suffered from the chaos unleashed in Libya, Issoufou Boubacar Kado Magagi told Sputnik Africa."This intervention destabilized Libya. This had repercussions on the African continent. Huge weapons depots, which are located in Libya, were opened and terrorists, armed bandits, and drug traffickers were allowed to pour them into the Sahel," he emphasized. The objective of NATO was not only to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi, but to "get its hands on Libyan wealth and prevent Libya from accelerating the economic integration of the continent," Magagi added.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
