The unfortunate and unprecedented challenge in Libya, is the systematic destruction of government and civic tools, by the claim of the "Green Revolution".. It had structured immature, chaotic and corrupt system of government that no academic researcher could figure..!
Regretfully, many of journalists, academics, writers and politicians had directly or indirectly supported the "intellectual" products of the freak Colonel.. Libyan moneys, oil and potentials were great appeal for the international business; while no actual concern was ever made to serve its people..
In the most optimistic scenarios, columnists had predicted a decade prior to any true sociopolitical changes in Libya.. Apparently, many were wrong.. However, the drama is just about to start.. How to build a country on the wrecks would be lift by Gaddafi..?
Gaddafi had severely lost it three times during his rule..
1st, when his mentor and benchmark Nasser suddenly died in 1970, It was too early for him and his fellow young army officers to figure out how to run a country with huge oil reserves.. He learned how to rule, the hard way with support of intelligence agencies in Egypt, Russia, Sudan; which had turned his regime into a police state..
2nd, when he disputed with Sadat of Egypt in 1975; who had launched a fierce media and political campaign against Gaddafi, turning the dispute into a personal insult on state level..!! This was the turning point in his personality, to claim visionary, scrape opposition and browse all political potentials..
3rd, when the Crows missiles missed him in 1986, but killed his daughter; he started to trade his limited immature powers with covert operations, economic deals and media circus.. Gaddafi armed most rebellions around the world, purchased senior politicians, and host pretty women for lectures in Rome..!!
Finally, Libya had been ruled by a freak personality; who likes to shake the audience by unexpected moves.. This time, the Libyan commons are unexpectedly shaking him..!
Once Gaddafi said: Democracy means "Dohmaa Alla Al-Karaci" (in Arabic: the Commons seating on chairs..)
I can't have a comment..!!
I knew that we "al sha3b el 3arabi" ra5ees jeddan... but to see it with our own eyes!!! such a brutal truth!

I always trust the people.. The Commons' Power.. yet, understand the risks involved when no reliable mature leadership is available..!! This is not only Libya, but all Arabs, who are now exposed to rapid contagious public revolutions, while their intellectual, political and professional elites are not ready for the assignment, or for any respectful move..!!
ReplyDeleteWhen Gaddafi compete with PLO to purchase African assets; He went the extra mile to purchase its hearts and brains.. Many called it Africanism or Commonism.. But it was a simple long term Mercenary and business continuity plan..!! Thanks Faten for sharing
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways to punish the commons.. History will record a new one for Gaddafi..!!
ReplyDeleteHe scores where no would compete.. He wins when no one race.. He is (as always been) living in his own world.. However, his son had been earlier a sign of hope, which vanished once he quitted his Israeli girlfriend..!!

Gaddafi is a freak phenomenon which should be extensively researched.. He is a one-of-his-kind, which would benchmark the evolution of Mankind.. I guess he represents the missing link, which many are searching for.. Otherwise, he would represent the dark side of insanity, which we should teach our kids to avoid..
ReplyDeleteMy immortal question: how he managed to stay for 42 years..? His insanity was known.. How comes someone accepted is leadership..? Apparently, tribalism in Libya is far stronger than the 21st century.. Hopefully not for long..!!
Well said....
ReplyDeletemaybe you can let us know what you think about this ...
The Doha Debates, a leading forum for free speech, is holding its next event in Tunis on Tuesday February 22nd
The motion to be debated is: This House believes that Arab revolutions will just produce different dictators.
This debate will examine what will happen in Tunisia and Egypt following their revolutions – will these countries see dramatic change and democracy installed, or will another leader (dictator) take control?
Gaddafi had believed in politics as a great media circus.. He designs and directs his own shows, by moneys, lobbying and mixed influence.. Since mid 1970th, he had created the seasonal pilgrimage to Libya, when most of Arabic and 3rd world’s intellectuals, academics and journalists had been packed in comfortable celebrations of cultural-coated forums.. The Peoples’ Republic (Jamaheiriyah), The Green Book, The Pan-Africanism were products of magnificent open debates, which had amused all spectators.. On parallel, he bought influence in Africa, Europe and elsewhere.. Since that time, he consciously provoked all profiling models, with no predictions on his next move.. Since that time he knew how global order is salable, weak and talkative.. Since that time he deliberately mixed insanity with politics, creating short-term strategies.. I have no doubt that he plans and loves a lot being the focus of media attention.. His Amazons female bodyguards, His weird uniforms and accessories, His famous tent, His $2000 bills for each female audiences, mercenaries and welcomers at airports..!!
