to accept anybody even from the closest of his colleagues who actually did the coup with him to force him to change his mind or policy and anything and i think his his it was in his personality and his in his character always to be autocratic and to be dominating and he will not give in to other opinions so the precipitations for a dictator were were there in his character and as as things moved on and he started getting challenges not just from his own group adam who was in with a military coup attempt in december of one thousand nine hundred seventy nine hundred sixty nine story and then the student movement were very expressive against him i remember used to come to terrible university and the students were very vocal very brave telling him look you and your colleagues the army officer you should go back to your barracks we want civilian route so as he had rejections from the students from intellectuals from army officers he started to become very prudent to

protect his dominance as his control over power. he basically took a firm grip of the country every aspect of the country's life and i think that was the first clear sign that gadhafi was heading to be an absolute dictator of libya. despite growing isolation libya continues to pursue policies which are a unique mix of strict muslim rules and marxist ideology. gadhafi established the fate of the masses a system of people's committees and the general people's congress this was part of gadhafi is the universal theory that he laid out in his green book he himself would claim to have no official role in the gym area but would remain the commander in chief of the armed forces and go buy a new toy. brother leader. i think it was it was tor certain point

a successful experience to a certain limit it was not completely independent system from gadaffi is not resident of saudi and above look it there's are but nick is not a minister not the prime minister is the leader of revolution which is kind of ongoing a process that never ends it was they looted and subverted and became a way of really and has seeing the mobilization and cramping and punishing dissident voices in libyan society the army was burst their two deals were burst the student union was burst the other independent and were burst and everything became either you are evolutionary or counter-revolutionary and you could see that the informal the situations the security apparatus the secret police the out of the so-called revolutionary committees began to dominate the formal

institutions of the state what gadhafi is actually daring is working very hard today to create a personalized centralized state in which really there are no proper institutions and he is the center of everything. good that he was hollowing out libya's political structures all roads to real power would lead only to him and all dissent brutally repressed. the whole power became in his head and that's why he start really become a very vicious against anyone who will even voice anything different from his opinion. the money think of that you'll be in prison if you're not in prison you'll be hanged in the streets.

that's where you live you have seen probably one of the most vicious hanging temping skin ever haven't was here during the month of ramadan that used to be done just around the hoop and it is t.v. broadcast and they've handed those young people in their own cities or to show them and also the same time to go and they destroy their homes. while mom will get their fix the size of brute force at home his authority didn't extend to wider arab affairs. following the death of egypt's jim an obnoxious or in one nine hundred seventy gadhafi had seen himself as a parent to advance by an arab present but not the successor and what he said that had sidelined gadhafi during the war with israel and ignored the libyan leader as egypt where in line with western interests signing a peace treaty with israel. good def you took this as a personal insult and

a betrayal of the arab cause. he's a leader with your friends in the area the man who dreamed of uniting the arab world is perhaps discovering that no one shares his vision anymore. isolated and overlooked gadaffi would turn away from the arab world and find a new cause in an old fight. wish the world innovation summit for health one community of two thousand health care experts innovators and policymakers from one hundred countries. one experience sharing best practices and innovative ideas. one goal the whole thier world through global collaboration. apply now to

became literally again a silly body especially in the arab world because he felt that all of the who have betrayed the arab cause and he is the champion of the articles. and. it is. sad. it is. it is that. is so that's why he starts supporting a lot of the movements in different parts of the world he was accused of supporting so many different there's organization or from. irene in the u.k. to brigades in italy or monday learned south africa at the time when it was all the good that me and people like him and castro and yes i actually talked about mandela negative was a different and supported him. get their feet might have seen himself as

a champion of a global and team purell struggle but for much of the west he was a supporter of worldwide terror. and then in december one thousand nine hundred five similar opinions attacks on airports in rome and vienna claimed the lives of one thousand civilians including five americans. the following year a west berlin nightclub was bombed killing three people two were american servicemen why do some gentleman the president of united states european intelligence agencies suggested palestinian groups based in syria where most likely responsible for the attacks for the u.s. however the blame squarely evening please be seated with one man darvish longstanding involvement in terrorism is well documented and there's no reputable evidence of his role in these attacks. good every of course was already huge degree reacted as a minister as a terms. if you say is

a terrorist everybody will agree so it's easy to troy demanded payment when stick and he did deny it he didn't say that we are behind it but he didn't deny that idea and began to say this is a war against colonialism and imperialism the leaders of the western world have called you a terrorist about your government is a diverse government reagan is the biggest terrorist in the world this mad dog of the middle east has a goal of the world revolution muslim fundamentalist revolution. reagan named them the mad dog of the middle east sound. seven the same day naming him as the mad dog of the international zionism movement and of course it was very. it was the lowest of the law of the global sea. in april one thousand nine hundred eighty six diplomacy between the

united states and libya came to a violent end. the day we have done what we had to do. if necessary we should do it again. united states decided to punish him once and for all actually by trying to kill him . they send huge inner planes and bomb locations in tripoli and his own house his own as quarters in all and below office but don't we also have that last specific means that including children including babies. it is a clear and the blunt attempt by the nicest leader of the free world to assassinate somebody because they don't like him could affy was from the arab world and was

a suitable person to fight with because after all khadafi had alienated almost everyone. so he was a perfect foil for the regular ministry. get deficit potations as the artist sponsor of terror was to once again make him the prime suspect when one nine hundred eighty eight an american airliner was brought down over the scottish town of lockerbie killing all two hundred fifty nine people on board. the evidence for libya's direct involvement in carrying out the local the bombing was less than conclusive but in one thousand nine hundred ninety two pushed by the united states britain and france the united nations placed severe economic and trade sanctions on libya but its alleged involvement. that led to so many assumptions of life if it's so many. kind of pinching sanctions economic

sanctions political sanctions even the libyan passport twenty tough was was a kind of accusation in itself libyans completely world now enclosed inside their country and they suffered for years because because of his actions. after the look or be bombing this sanctions came in and that's really it's gadhafi hot button i think that the libyan people heart the duffy was locally affected by the embargo itself it is the libyan people who are there have been affected first and with that his grip on power really tightened as he was looking to be an international leader supporting all these different groups around the world well by that time the libyan situation in libya became marginal for him is now part of a big international struggle is fighting against superpowers and he's not also a puppet of the russians easy's are against communism and communists are libya out

of prison so now he is a part of international struggle you know the libyans were mazar for him and he got engaged in a. battle that became you know like the snowball against the west and the west was working against him and that affected the libyan population in an egg very negative way because it was more dictatorship more oppression and everybody against me created an enemy he created when he started with you know supporting what he called the liberation movements so would you say he was enjoined because he was accused of a lot of terrorist attacks in vienna and rome in berlin and he never used to deny any of it if felt that libya was too small for him he wanted a bigger station so he tried with the arab unity uniting the whole as we say from the gulf to the ocean from bahrain to morocco and he failed with that so now he wanted the whole world to be

a stage so he started supporting the revolutionary movements all around the world i recall somebody telling me and this is exactly accurate information that in the eighty's there was a camp in libya supervised by something called the international revolutionary metabo this camp had seventeen thousand trainees military trainees from thirty five nationalities where the question is losing including irish was was he. a reason is that the latin america to asia to all over the world was he doing that because he believed in it as a revolutionary leader and so on or as mr b. series said he created an enemy he needed the sort of enemy i think both i think he suffered from grandiose illusions that actually could rule the world he could change regimes all over the world and these regimes become the emulate his own model and he will be like the mouse tse-tung of them you know that's one thing the

other thing i think he enjoyed this idea that this this this this man that the popular man of the masses all over the world is taken on the in. bierria list is taken on the biggest imperialist in the world which is the united states when the terrorist attack in berlin happened rather reagan called the man dog of the middle east so did the west needs someone like a daffy. to be an international villain as well was what was in it for the west i think they want to make an example of gadhafi in the region that if you go beyond your limits that it clearly will come and attack you in new york in your place so i think it does of course that i think personally i think he is the one who created this for himself because he thought that he has become a real big player in the world stage and of course he does not have he does have that power or the or or what will allow him to do such a thing there and i would like to add to this why did libya came and the agenda of

the americans nine hundred seventy nine one thousand eight i was part of the libyan opposition and i had a meeting with. foreign asians the american forest as a city you know it was imposed on me and they said we would like to help you at the time when reagan won the election i can tell you at the time the war between iraq and iran heightened and iran threatened to stop all the oil supplies from the gulf libya for the united states and for europe is an oil political entity it's a supplier when the so.
