Muamar Gadafi
Muamar Gadafi was the Libyan revolutionary and political leader who ruled Libya for over four decades, from 1969 until his overthrow and death in 2011. Known for his controversial policies and flamboyant personality, Gadafi was a prominent figure in Arab nationalism and pan-Africanism. His regime faced criticism for human rights abuses and suppression of dissent, and he was a polarizing figure on the global stage, often clashing with Western nations. Gadafi's rule came to an end during the Libyan Civil War, after which he was captured and killed by rebel forces.
