Moamar Gadafi was the controversial Libyan leader who ruled Libya for over four decades from 1969 until his overthrow and death in 2011. Known for his eccentric personality and authoritarian regime, Gadafi's leadership was marked by a mix of socialist policies, human rights abuses, and efforts to position Libya as a leader in the Arab world. His complex legacy includes both the promotion of pan-Africanism and significant internal dissent, culminating in a civil war that led to his downfall during the Arab Spring. Posthumously, discussions about Gadafi often center around his use of migration as a political tool, particularly in relation to Europe.
