That really isn’t what’s happening here at all, in several ways. The slave markets are the result of economic migrants from farther south attempting to get to Europe. Libya is one of the easier crossing points, so they go there. The EU realized this and is paying a lot of people a lot of money to make sure that the migrants can’t cross the Mediterranean.
If Qaddafi were still alive we would at best see exactly the same problem in a different country.
Even really basic research into what’s happening there reveals this stuff. People just seem to assume that things are shitty because the West invaded, and don’t bother looking any deeper.
