...and she can see the sea from the front porch of her apartment in Kyiv that she would like to sell you.

Interesting timeline, Her husband must have been with her in November/December

[Boethius]

Last week of October or first week of November, if the child was born on her due date.  Her husband likely would have received a Libyan visa quite easily, or she may have been on vacation.

I do believe her story.  Ghadafi hired foreigners partly because he didn't trust his countrymen.  Remember, as with most non Western countries, foreigners lived a very different existence than the locals.

We should also keep in mind some of the new revelations of Ghadafi's relationship with Western intelligence.  He was torturing jihadists on a regular basis.

jobs, money and a good life

There's lotsa "jobs" which provide money and a good life available in Libya, especially for attractive women. Nothing's gunna change in that regard anytime soon. Oil brings boys and boys bring "needs"............

I was thinking more along the lines that maybe the mother to BillyB's A might know her. If I remember right wasn't she some sort of nurse in Libya as well?

Of course Gadaffi isn't an angel, but we get a lot of lies and exaggerations via corporate media in the west. In the UN list, Libya is listed as the 53rd best country in the world in the human development category. Best in Africa and ahead of both Russia and Ukraine. But that little piece of information isn't convenient to report in the mainstream media....

It was still a very brutal dictatorship.
