Is it any coincidence the MSM is trying to convince us that 600 rag-tag "rebels" just marched into Tripoli and took over the country? I guess Gaddafi's troops just laid down their guns and gave up?

South Sudan’s officials have said that dwindling resources in the area have sparked frictions between the Murle and Lou Nuer communities and recent rivalries have been over cattle land and food.
OIL
However, the most pressing issue that faces north–south relations lies in the management of the regions natural resources. Some 75% of Sudan’s oil reserves are located in the South, with most of the processing infrastructure located in the North and exported through the country’s main export terminal, Port Sudan.
Dr Petrus de Kock of SAIIA’s Governance for Africa’s Resources Programme, put forward two possible options under which South Sudan can manage its oil reserves.
The first is the Government of South Sudan’s plan to construct a 3 600 km pipeline to Lomu, in Kenya, to which the crude oil can be refined and exported. This, however, is not economically feasible owing to cost constraints as well as time constraints. De Kock mentions that there has been interest from Chinese contractors to build the pipeline.

An interesting theory... Can you show us what countries have been depleted and abandoned? Specifically what resources were depleated?

I won't argue with someone that has obviously has no idea what happens when the UN takes over countries, and what happens to their wealth...
(see Iraq)
This is all about what TPTB want, it has nothing to do with "spreading freedom" or liberating those poor Libyans!
