Muammar bin Muhammad Abu Menyar Abdel Salam bin Hamid al-Gaddafi (1940 or June 7 / June 19, or in the spring or September 1942 - October 20, 2011) - Libyan statesman and military leader, politician and publicist; de facto head of Libya in 1969-2011, Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council (1969-1977), Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Libya (1970-1972), Secretary General of the General People's Congress (1977-1979); Colonel (since 1969), Supreme Commander of the Libyan Armed Forces (1969-2011). After Gaddafi resigned from all posts, he began to be called the Brotherly leader and leader of the September 1st Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya or the Brotherly leader and leader of the revolution. After overthrowing the monarchy, he later formulated the "Third World Theory" outlined in his three-volume work "Green Book", establishing a new political regime in Libya (or, as some authors believe, a form of government) - "Jamahiriya". The Libyan leadership channeled the proceeds from oil production to social needs, which made it possible by the mid-1970s to implement large-scale programs for the construction of public housing, the development of health care and education. On the other hand, Libya during the rule of Gaddafi has been repeatedly accused of interfering in the affairs of foreign states. In 1977, there was a border military conflict with Egypt, and in the 1980s, the country was embroiled in a civil war in Chad. As a supporter of pan-Arabism, Gaddafi made efforts to unite Libya with a number of countries, which ended in failure. He provided financial and other support to numerous national liberation, revolutionary and terrorist organizations around the world. High-profile terrorist attacks, in connection with which the Libyan leadership was accused, became the formal basis for the American bombing of the country in 1986 and the imposition of sanctions in the 1990s. On June 27, 2011, during the Libyan civil war, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Muammar Gaddafi on charges of murder, illegal arrest and detention. During the civil war, the opposition forces, with the military intervention of the NATO bloc, gradually established control over the country. Killed on October 20, 2011 during the capture of Sirte by the National Transitional Council.

If human society becomes one day a society without a family, it will be a society of vagabonds and will be like an artificial plant.
To be honest, I would really like to leave, but it does not depend on me anymore. If I were king or president, everything would be different. But I am a revolutionary.
Countries like the United States, India, China and the Russian Federation need the Jamahiriya. And they need it immediately.

Hussein did everything he was asked to do. He was deprived of everything. He could only fight to the last. He had to stand with his back to the wall and fight. What else could the Americans expect from him? To undress and dance naked in front of them?
The world is now united in its attitude towards the Americans. This is not only due to sympathy for the Iraqi people. It's just that the Americans are paying the price for a senseless war based on false accusations.
The nation whose national spirit is broken is destined to lie in ruins.
The world perceives the Arabs as if we mean nothing, as if we are sheep.
The devil is in capitalism, in dictatorship. All these are devilish forces trying to put a person under their control.
A long time ago, bin Laden said that America's goal is not only Afghanistan. All recent events prove that Bin Laden was right. When the United States starts talking about Libya, Saudi Arabia or Syria, Bin Laden always says: "You see, I was right."
Terrorism is a perfect fact and reality. And the most dangerous thing is that the people who deal with it consider it to be justified.
People will be backward until they can explain themselves in one language.
