## Bio

Gaddafi came to power in 1969 through a bloodless coup that toppled the Western-backed monarchy, converting Libya into a republic ruled by his Revolutionary Command Council. He expelled the Italian population, closed foreign military bases, and nationalized oil - using the revenues for housing, healthcare, education, and to bankroll revolutionaries abroad. In 1973 he launched a "Popular Revolution" with Basic People's Congresses, then in 1977 transformed the state into a Jamahiriya, taking a symbolic role while keeping control of the military and the Revolutionary Committees that suppressed dissent. Border wars with Egypt and Chad, support for militants, and alleged responsibility for the Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 bombings isolated Libya internationally, drawing U.S. airstrikes in 1986 and UN sanctions. After 1999 he pivoted from pan-Arabism to pan-Africanism and sought rapprochement with the West, chairing the African Union from 2009 to 2010. When protests erupted in eastern Libya in 2011, the situation became civil war; NATO intervened, his government fell, and he was captured in Sirte and killed by NTC militants on 20 October 2011.
