Asked by Wiki User

There wasn't a president but a king and his name was King Idris. King Idris had no male heir so he appointed his brother's son as his heir. Qaddafi led a coup to overthrow the King one single day before the brother's son was due to become King. That son, now known as a Prince, has indicated that he will be returning to Libya to help with the new government.

How many people live in Libya?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main cities are on the coast, like the capital Tripoli, Benghazi, Misurata, Tobruk, and others. Beyond the coastline the country is mainly a vast desert with several major towns in the south, and many smaller towns all over the country.

As for accommodation, Libyans living in the cities reside in the same types of structures as anywhere else, brick houses, residential buildings, apartments, villas, with varying degrees of quality. In the smaller towns it is similar, with some people living in farm houses and other types of farming related dwellings.

Why did the US declare war on Libya?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Libya is going against the humanitarian rights. These rights basically mean that this is against what everyone believes and the Libyian leader is killing his own people. The United Nation has to take part and stop what is happening. Not only is the U.S involved but so is Europe.

The only reason that America is involved in Libya is simple because it wants to steal the libyan oil, which is among the best petroleum in the world because of its composition and richness. America is currently stealing oil from Iraq. America will kill anyone and any nation that stands in its way, so it uses Kadafi as an excuse. Ask yourselves, if America is such a goody goody country, then why doent it stay in places like Haiti, where much help is needed, places like Costa Rica, where all sorts of human rights have been committed and because locked up in cells forever and all with the consent of America...Ill tell you why, its simply because there is no oil there.

Why doesnt America play with Russia, or China, because America knows that she just may get her butt kicked. America can only pick on the little guy, and when the little guy defends himself America calls him a leftist and a communist.
