He was known for his authoritarian regime, which was marked by a distinctive blend of socialism, Arab nationalism, and anti-imperialism. Khaddafi's rule was characterized by a focus on Pan-Arabism and an effort to unite Arab nations, while also implementing controversial domestic policies that suppressed dissent and centralized power. His regime was infamous for its human rights abuses and was a significant player in Middle Eastern politics during his time. After his fall, Libya became embroiled in a civil war, leading to ongoing instability in the region.
