it's once again become clear that the western backed overthrow of libyan leader move mar gadhafi over a decade ago, left chaos in its wake. we have seen 11 years of division. the last time libya saw national elections was in 2014, one body that was elected in 2014 and another body that was elected in 2012. so all of these institutions now lack a degree of popular legitimacy. so 1st the u. s. destroyed libya and now there man at the u. n, who worked at the state department and studied at national war, college sits and argues about 11 years of division, lack of legitimacy, and the need to hold elections in libya under get off. libya consistently had the highest human development index in all of africa. it's literacy rates, life expectancy, and degree of gender equality. we're all on par with the developed world. at times the countries g, d, p per capita surpassed even that of the united states. still, nato said it made the right call by bombing libya and supporting gadhafi as opponents. nato played a vital role in protecting civilians and i'm proud of what we have achieved. we did the r

i saw that with my own eyes in tripoli, but fast forward 11 years after gadhafi was killed. now, libya is at the bottom of the global livability index for 2022. on top of that, the you and says over 800000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance. and the number of islamic fundamentalists, groups are running wild across the country. earlier, the west claimed that these groups played no part in the revolution. this revolution was not about extreme islam. isn't al qaeda played no part in it turns out that couldn't have been farther from the truth. and western leaders knew it. back in 2011, the u. k. it's defense ministry discovered that islamic militia called the february 17th martyrs brigade, was likely to play a key role in the upcoming coup de top. the organization has ties to the muslim brotherhood, and one of its members went on to kill 22 people in the manchester arena, a terrorist attack of 2017. that's not to mention the massive refugee crisis that came and the aftermath of the overthrow. no doubt, many people are skeptical of nato's claims that it's a defensive a

so we decided it was time to participate in operation to overthrow gadhafi. and in that operation, of course, he was killed. so we succeeded in the short term goal, get rid of gadhafi, depose that government, but then what happened? we didn't have a plan for what was going to come next. we thought that maybe by magic, some new piece, whole regime already burge, everybody with cooperative songs together with michelle, i a with media, i'm within, obeys center because it was a bit out of my burnett, a, a, a, a, [000:00:00;00] a law we was, i'm up with a some finance and asked to be a new customer. i'm a b a b a with ah ah, i'm willing of a no cranium. t doria. soon enough id, she ship a duck lean, ship board of control and put you on board. so you should feel free to give them a water by like the system will only be me or not. it's not sing device, it's a fleecy leah with pocono jones. actually, it's tim shaft arkell room. there's a crazy that to where you store lot of the my subway, but just dory on a salad here. police get us, but generally ship them instead o

countries that are putting that have laid these sanctions against the country actually helped to topple gadhafi back in 2011? well yeah, i mean that 2011. it has turned out to be a fiasco in every sense of the term. i think some countries, including france, primarily and in the rest of nato, have overstepped de, you and resolution, which was simply to prove to provide an ad cover in libya ad that got translated by ne, due to an active role in changing the regime. that is the beginning of the civil war in libya, which has been escalating, sometimes goes up, sometimes it goes down. that's been the story of 11 years. the oil dimension has always played the role in libya and a lot of the parties that are engaged in the civil war with support from outside forces or outside countries have all tried very hard to gain control of the oil revenues. that is the primary revenue for the whole country. in 97 percent of libya's revenues come from oil at dad has been the key issue. sometimes they close for all kinds of reasons. most of it daughter, manufactured reasons, they closed the oil fields, the oil prod

in particular, i am curious as to how the decision to depose libya's moammar gadhafi may have played a role in sparking negative consequences for the sahel that we are discussing today. my interest stems from the fact that libya was located within the state's department bureau of near eastern affairs while sahel policy was governed by the state department bureau of african affairs. meanwhile, the african union included all of africa within the mandate and africom except for egypt. i'm interested in how these differences may have impeded information flows and policy coordination for the sahel. i look forward to today's conversation. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator round. with us today on behalf of the administration is ambassador molly fee, career member foreign service, recently served as deputy special of operations. and deputy chief of admissions in ethiopia and the special envoy for sudan and south sudan and has experience. mr. robert jenkins, for the bureau of conflict and stabilization, career member of the executive service, mr. jenkins was previously a deputy ad
