I'm arguing with people that think there were massacres in 2011 and that Gaddafi "threatened" to carry out more on a wider scale.

This is on an Internet forum from the 2000s.

Help me out here. Give me sources, if you can. I'm trying to convince these people, but it's been a long time since I've looked into the topic, and I'm going by memory here.

    There was no genocide. If you want a decent source on Libya I've seen Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya by Matteo Capasso recommended. But I've yet to read it, it's still on my backlog.

      Frankly, they're now using articles that are from early 2011.

      I've told them that they've since been debunked, but no dice, they won't listen.

      Thank you!

      Does anyone have a video I can show to this person?

      Or an article?
