Muammar
Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi (1942 –
20 October 2011), commonly known as Colonel Gaddafi, was a Libyan revolutionary,
politician and political theorist. He governed Libya as
Revolutionary Chairman of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977 and
then as the "Brother Leader"
of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
from 1977 to 2011. He was initially ideologically committed to Arab
nationalism and Arab socialism but later ruled according to his own Third International Theory.
Born
near Sirte, Italian
Libya, to a poor Bedouin family, Gaddafi became an Arab nationalist while at
school in Sabha, later enrolling in the Royal Military Academy, Benghazi.
Within the military, he founded a revolutionary group which deposed the
Western-backed Senussi
monarchy of Idris in a 1969 coup.
he
introduced sharia
as the basis for the legal system and promoted "Islamic
socialism".
He nationalized the oil industry and used the increasing
state revenues to bolster the military, fund foreign revolutionaries, and
implement social programs emphasizing house-building, healthcare and education
projects.
Amid
the 2011 Arab
Spring, protests against widespread corruption and unemployment broke out
in eastern Libya. The situation descended into civil war, in which NATO intervened militarily on the
side of the anti-Gaddafist National Transitional Council (NTC).
The government was overthrown, and Gaddafi retreated to Sirte, only to be captured and killed by NTC militants.
