Moammar Gaddafi
Moammar Gaddafi was the Libyan revolutionary leader who ruled Libya from 1969 until his overthrow and death in 2011. Known for his eccentric personality and authoritarian regime, Gaddafi's rule was marked by the establishment of a unique political ideology known as the Third International Theory, which combined elements of socialism and Arab nationalism. His tenure saw significant investments in education and healthcare, but also widespread human rights abuses and suppression of dissent. Gaddafi's controversial foreign policy, including support for various militant groups, contributed to strained relations with Western nations. His downfall during the Arab Spring was precipitated by a NATO intervention, leading to his eventual capture and execution by rebel forces.
