May almighty Allah Rahmah always spread upon Cornel Mohammed Gaddafi. I was born and grow up in Libya , May almighty Allah countinue to restore and guide our people's in Great Jarminiyyah Libya-Great Jarminiyyah
This happened to 2 dams in my town in Michigan, USA in 2020 after record rainfall. The Edenville, and Sanford Dams. They were neglected and needed repairs and work too. No lives were lost but there was so much destruction. Entire neighborhoods, the downtown, and roads and bridges were destroyed.
…learn to pray…pray…pray…PRAY MORE!!!

World learned don’t be fooled for too long… check your fence once or twice a year….

Neglect &Corruption.CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE!
China will be same as this situation !!! Three gorgeous Dams ☠️☠️☠️
AS-SALAMU ALAIKUM ! DO NOT TRUST WHAT IS AT THE HAND OF MOST MEN !!!
I'm deeply saddened to hear that so many people in Derna have lost their lives due to military, political friction ,corruption and poor engineering /poor maintenance of the dams. I agree with Sarah and Edmonton that global warming is at arise throughout the World and for this we need to improve/modernise the infrastructures and flood defences to combat this catastrophic circumstances and protect and safeguard human lives their homes and infrastructures in whichever society/country/ region we belong to. Financing this project will prevent further decline of infrastructures and protect human lives from imminent danger.
Best regards to Al-Jazeera
Sickness and plague that will come from the dead bodies in the land and sea.
Por favor paren la Guerra , así ay mas dinero para hacer la vida un poco más segura
Demasiados ocupados en la Guerra
It all begin with traitors.
Who betrayed the cornel.
Libyans are to blame, ignorance currrubtion violence….
They got what they deserved, unfortunately
The world has damned Libya after what happened to their female who was forced to flee because she tried to deal with Israel. When you hate your own people, you deserve whatever you get.
Thy must aware & learn that laws are streaks, believe & respect well. Be children of the rules to our creator.😅😅❤
Learn from morocco ,libya europe ,usa ,china and hongkong.
This is tragic . But no dam is forever . Water drops move mountains .
Super CALLOUS & GREEDY Oil Refineries has BOOST Oil prices , dam break & BROKE everyone's Wallet
It would be idiotic if blaming the global warming as the cause of disasters.
sow and reap. Libyan lost their mind,
I imagine many people in powers-that-be never bothered paying into the upkeep of these dams so basically, any country that had a corrupt system and built dams, are probably all going to collapse like this in eventuality.
Really Libiyan Authorities forgot dams and other crucial factors because home war
What we can learn is Islam is bad for the world
War must stop earth damage expect
Gods vengance is great ….repent and cut yourselves free of the evils of islam….
Huwag payagan na ang Chekwa ang gagawa ng inyong DAM.
💔💔💔
NOTHING …..No Maintenance on the Dams Corruption and Theft👎🇬🇧
Next story
1) Dams need maintenance, 2) This was not climate change and 3) Corruption in engineering is a bad combo
The one true Lord continues to punish the followers of a false prophet.
There is no climate change it’s hoax
This would not have happened if Gaddafi was still there in Libya. Libyans have paid the price of killing their leader Gaddafi who had done everything for the people of Libya.
the bottom line is the government doesn't care about the people you are just dancing around the problem.
What to learn?
Don't build a city below a dam or a dam above a city.
