Muammar Gaddafi was the Libyan revolutionary and politician who ruled Libya from 1969 until his ousting and death in 2011. Known for his controversial leadership style and flamboyant personality, Gaddafi implemented a form of direct democracy through his 'Green Book' ideology, which aimed to give power to the people while consolidating his own authority. His regime was marked by significant human rights abuses, including the suppression of dissent and the promotion of state-sponsored terrorism. Despite his initial popularity for social reforms, his later years were characterized by widespread discontent and civil unrest, culminating in a civil war that led to his eventual downfall.
