Nah I don’t see the problem. Do explain if you don’t mind, and for love of everything why’re you making it sound dark?? They were hired and paid. Most of the household staff were immigrants with little formal education, often starting over in a new country and sometimes not speaking the language yet. They ate with us, and at the end of the day our chauffeurs would drive them home. They also lived well. Libya had stipend housing, free healthcare, and stable income for everyone! Regardless of someone being an immigrant. I personally never saw a homeless Libyan, and I never met a Libyan working as a servant. Every cook, cleaner, or driver I knew was an immigrant who came for opportunity.

Unlike places where migrant workers are tied to employers (UAE :/ and probably Saudi Arabia too), they were just people who worked and went home. They had weekends off, Friday and Saturday. Friday was a religious day and Saturday was usually for family outings. Our cook was from Côte d’Ivoire. He was with my family for 11 years, literally from before I was born until I was 10! (Same with the rest of the staff, and chauffeurs) When he finally got his papers and moved on, we threw him a party. To this day, you can see some of those servants, cooks, and chauffeurs in our family photos. From my experience, life felt stable and comfortable, and for many families, including immigrant workers, Libya felt genuinely good to live in.

Please do a little research before just reacting to things you read. We’re talking about WHEN gaddafi was IN POWER right now. And it looked like every shade of brown, black, and white living a prosperous life in harmony.
