Everywhere I went, there were hardworking Palestinians, Lebanese . . . but the Libyans didn’t work much. They got money just for having children. The more kids they had, the more money they received, because there are only five million of them occupying an enormous territory, and they have a massive amount of oil. So they were paid just for being Libyan. They are very rich people: the government has empty apartments that it makes available to anyone who wants to live there, but in Libya, they think only poor people live in apartments: everyone is expected to have a house of their own.
