The Horrifying Life Story of Gaddafi
The old saying goes that “one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist” so you can understand the difference of opinion at the start of Gaddafi’s reign. But over the decades, this divisive dictator would go from a champion of the people to hiding for his life in a sewer tunnel.
So how did the man who was promoted by Nelson Mandela for his powers of unification wind up dying in his own country’s civil war?
History is full of leaders who proved how absolute power corrupts absolutely, yet there are differences in Gaddafi’s own life that make him stand out from other tyrants.
Was he destined to become maniacal or had outside forces forced his hand? After all, he was just a man. Anyone can turn evil in the right circumstances right?

A Brief History of Muammar Gaddafi
From his extravagant robes, to his signature sunglasses, and his band of female bodyguards, Muammar Gaddafi was as eccentric as he was enigmatic. Embraced by South African President Nelson Mandela for his support for various black liberation movements both within and outside of Africa, but dubbed the ‘Mad Dog of the Middle East’ by American President Ronald Reagan for his defiantly anti-Western foreign policies, Gaddafi’s 42 year reign as Libya’s Leader would see him win the allegiance and adoration many African leaders while simultaneously becoming a universal figure of hate all around the Western world.

Gadhafi: "I am the leader of a revolution, not a country" (2009)
In a 2009 interview with Larry King, the Libyan leader insists he's the leader of a revolution, not a country.

Moammar Gadhafi, who lived and died in violence
Ronald Bruce St John and Special to CNN
CNN — The man who dominated Libya for more than four decades died not far from his birthplace.
Moammar Gadhafi was born in the central Libyan desert south of Sirte in spring 1942. The only surviving son of traditional Bedouin parents, his early schooling centered on religious subjects taught by a local tribal teacher. Tribal social values, together with the religious principles learned at this time, strongly influenced him for the rest of his life.
Around age 10, he enrolled in elementary school in Sirte, where he completed six grades in four years. He then enrolled in secondary sch...

🇱🇾 The Death of Gaddafi | The Big Picture
October 20th 2011, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is dragged from a drain pipe, tortured and killed.
Libya’s self-proclaimed ‘Brother Leader, the one-time revolutionary who overthrew a king and promised a country governed by the people, met his end at the hands of a new generation of revolutionaries, Libyans seeking an end to Gaddafi’s often brutal 42-year rule.
But as the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings deposed leaders to the east and west of Libya in Egypt and Tunisia, was the fall of Gaddafi inevitable? Was it always destined to be so bloody? And was it simply the unleashed rage of a beleaguered population or were external factors - and external powers – involved in the violence that ripped Libya apart?
This short film uncovers the moments that led up to the protests in the east of Liby...

Moammar Gadhafi, who lived and died in violence
Ronald Bruce St John and Special to CNN
CNN — The man who dominated Libya for more than four decades died not far from his birthplace.
Moammar Gadhafi was born in the central Libyan desert south of Sirte in spring 1942. The only surviving son of traditional Bedouin parents, his early schooling centered on religious subjects taught by a local tribal teacher. Tribal social values, together with the religious principles learned at this time, strongly influenced him for the rest of his life.
Around age 10, he enrolled in elementary school in Sirte, where he completed six grades in four years. He then enrolled in secondary school in Sebha, where, for the first time, he had access to Arab newspapers and radio broadcasts, notably the “Voice of the Arabs” news program from Cairo. Shortly after he seized power in 1969, a junior American diplomat serving as an interpreter for the U.S. ambassador in Tripoli noted that Gadhafi spoke excellent Arabic, like a Voice of the Arabs radio announcer.
A political activist from the start, Gadhafi was expelled from school in Sebha because he was distributing pamphlets and organizing public protests critical of the ruling monarchy. He completed his secondary schooling in Misurata, and graduated from the Royal Military Academy in 1965.
Convinced that only armed might could force a change in government, he viewed military service not as a career, but as an instrument for socioeconomic and political change. In the course of his time at the academy, he created the Free Unionist Officers Movement and selected its 12-member central committee, drawing on contacts made in Sebha and Misurata.
The Free Unionist Officers Movement overthrew the monarchy in a bloodless coup d’état on the night of September 1, 1969. Thereafter, the ruling Revolutionary Command Council depicted itself as a collegial body, but Gadhafi was always first among equals, directing events and dictating policy. The language of Gadhafi and the other council members was the language of Arab nationalism, guided by the precepts of the Koran and sharia, the traditional code of Islamic law, and strengthened by the conviction that only the Revolutionary Command Council spoke for the Libyan people.
Over time, the Gadhafi regime created a unique form of direct democracy consisting of a nationwide system of congresses and committees designed to give the impression the Libyan people were running the government.
In fact, Gadhafi, the remaining Revolutionary Command Council members, the Free Unionist Officers and revolutionary committees appointed by Gadhafi tightly controlled the political system from the start, making all important decisions. The functions and activities of the direct democracy system were regulated by law; however, the activities of the parallel sector directed by Gadhafi and his cohorts was not in any way regulated by legal statutes.
Gadhafi was a revolutionary, and initially, his regime pursued a complex, aggressive and often violent foreign policy. Beginning in the early 1980s, a series of setbacks caused him to rethink failed initiatives, and after 1999, Libya sought to return to the international community.
The Libyan agreement to pay $2.7 billion to the families of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing and its renunciation of weapons of mass destruction marked important steps in the reconciliation process. By 2006, the United States had achieved full commercial and diplomatic relations with Libya for the first time in 25 years.
By any measure, Gadhafi’s legacy is a negative one. Politically, he systematically destroyed civil society and banned political parties, leaving the Libyan people with no experience in democratic government. Socially, his authoritarian regime violated the most basic human rights, including freedom of speech, assembly and the press. Economically, he failed to diversify the economy, leaving the country almost totally dependent on income from oil and gas revenues.

What Was Libya Like 20 Years Ago?
https://youtu.be/2ZHafA6dVBs
The End Of Gaddafi's Dictatorship
https://youtu.be/DjANac8606o
In this rare interview shot in February 2010 - less than two years before he was killed while hiding in a culvert - Muammar Gaddafi tells presenter George Negus he's always merely represented the will of the people.
"For 40 years I have not been the ruler, the authority has been with the people," says Gaddafi calmly. Surrounded by security guards and local TV crews in a library of his military compound, which was bombed by the Americans back in 1986, Gaddafi gives an air of quiet confidence. He continues to deny responsibility in the Lockerbie bombing and advocates a one-state solution to the Israel and Palestine conflict. He also comments on Libya's nuclear programme, and shares his opinions on terrorism and democracy. Quizzed by Negus about his softened image, Gaddafi responds that "It is the world that has changed."

What Was Libya Like 20 Years Ago?

The End Of Gaddafi's Dictatorship
https://youtu.be/DjANac8606o
In this rare interview shot in February 2010 - less than two years before he was killed while hiding in a culvert - Muammar Gaddafi tells presenter George Negus he's always merely represented the will of the people.
"For 40 years I have not been the ruler, the authority has been with the people," says Gaddafi calmly. Surrounded by security guards and local TV crews in a library of his military compound, which was bombed by the Americans back in 1986, Gaddafi gives an air of quiet confidence. He continues to deny responsibility in the Lockerbie bombing and advocates a one-state solution to the Israel and Palestine conflict. He also comments on Libya's nuclear programme, and shares his opinions on terrorism and democracy. Quizzed by Negus about his softened image, Gaddafi responds that "It is the world that has changed."

🇱🇾 The Death of Gaddafi | The Big Picture

October 20th 2011, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is dragged from a drain pipe, tortured and killed.
Libya’s self-proclaimed ‘Brother Leader, the one-time revolutionary who overthrew a king and promised a country governed by the people, met his end at the hands of a new generation of revolutionaries, Libyans seeking an end to Gaddafi’s often brutal 42-year rule.
But as the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings deposed leaders to the east and west of Libya in Egypt and Tunisia, was the fall of Gaddafi inevitable? Was it always destined to be so bloody? And was it simply the unleashed rage of a beleaguered population or were external factors - and external powers – involved in the violence that ripped Libya apart?
This short film uncovers the moments that led up to the protests in the east of Libya and how they turned into a full-scale rebellion. It charts the Gaddafi regime’s response as well as its ultimate demise, and, explores the role of international actors in the break-up of Libya and the death of Gaddafi.
