> FWIW Ghaddafi predicted the mass-immigration problems that Europe now faces. Libya, for all it's faults, was the place to go for anyone born in Africa looking to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Not that I want to disregard Gadaffis warning here, but the UN itself predicted that this will happen and asked the countries to please provide more money to help the people in the camps or they will move on to Europe. No one listened, people moved on. This was not some kind of secret knowledge, more a type of "it's not yet a problem, ignore it"
