Welcome to Greenland!
Let’s spend warm month of June in cold Greenland; how do you like the idea? 😉
Lots of information I’ll present you this month, were taken from “Visit Greenland”, check the website, especially if you’re planning to visit Greenland!
Currently, the flag of Libya consists on 3 horizontal bands, red, black and green.
Before the War, during the Gaddafi’s leadership, the Libyan flag was just green; one-coloured flag.
Muammar Gaddafi wrote “The Green Book” in which he presented his political philosophy.
The book was inspired by The Little Red Book of Mao Tse-tung.
I was in Libya in 2004, and that time, you could buy Green Book everywhere; moreover, it was very likely to find the book translated into your own language! People were buying it as souvenir.
At the end of this month, I want to share with you a few historical facts from the recent history of Libya.
Muammar Gaddafi (Moammar Gadhafi) was a leader of Libya from the Libyan Cultural Revolution in 1973 until 2011, when he was killed in the War. Gaddafi changed Libya a lot, transformed Libya into a socialist state; a “green” country where green flags and portraits of Gaddafi were everywhere in Libya.
Gaddafi was seen as a dictator who violated human rights.
After being the kingdom, the name of Libya changed to the Libyan Arab Republic (1969), then Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and later Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.
Currently, the official name of the country is the State of Libya.
Libya used to be a kingdom.
In 1951, Libya became independent as a kingdom.
The country was called as the United Libyan Kingdom, and later changed into the Kingdom of Libya.
When I was in Libya, I was impressed by the way all ancient places looked like, they were in a quite good shape. Moreover, you could just walk on all mosaics!
I felt a bit like “oh, but I don’t want to step on it, I don’t want to destroy it”.
