Muammar al Gadafi
Muammar al Gadafi was the Libyan revolutionary leader and politician who ruled Libya from 1969 until his ousting in 2011 during the Libyan Civil War. Known for his authoritarian regime and controversial policies, Gadafi was a polarizing figure on the global stage, often criticized for human rights abuses and for his role in supporting various militant groups. His leadership was marked by attempts to modernize Libya's economy and society, but he is most infamously remembered for his brutal suppression of dissent and the violent events that culminated in his death. His legacy remains contentious, with many in Libya and around the world debating the impact of his rule on the country and the region.
