For those who don't know, Gadaffi's Great Man Made River Project was in the process of re-greening the entire Libyan Sahara and part of the Sahel using vast underground fossil water reserves.
So when the White People Coalition Army arrived in 2011, they bombed the project sites and even its pipe factory so that the Sahara and North Sahel would remain poor, underpopulated, and eternally dependent on food imports.
Little history lesson.

Why Did The West Destroy Libya’s Water Supply In 2011? Did you know that the West destroyed one of the largest water infrastructure projects ever attempted in human history, just to punish the sovereign African country that created this project? In this report for the Spearhead, @okorieuche_ sheds light on Libya’s fabled and tragically ill-fated Great Man-made River Project (GMRP), a project that could have sustained Libya’s water supply into the distant future, and transformed the wider Saharan and Sahelian regions of Africa, geologically and economically, for the better, had NATO not carried out its illegal invasion of Libya in 2011 and murdered its popular, revolutionary leader Muammar Gaddafi.
