Colonel Gaddafi

-

 


Muammar Gaddafi, also known as Colonel Gaddafi, was the leader of Libya from 1969 until his death in 2011. He was born in 1942 in a Bedouin tent in the desert of western Libya and died during the 2011 civil war.

Gaddafi came to power in a bloodless coup in 1969, overthrowing the Libyan monarchy. He quickly established himself as a revolutionary leader, promoting a mix of Arab nationalism and Islamic socialism. Under his leadership, Libya experienced significant economic growth and improvements in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

Gaddafi's government was known for its authoritarianism and repression of political opposition. He also supported revolutionary and terrorist groups around the world, which led to him being designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the United States.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Gaddafi's government was targeted by the United States and other Western countries for its support of terrorism and its alleged involvement in the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.

In 2011, a popular uprising against Gaddafi's government began in the eastern city of Benghazi. The rebellion quickly spread and, with the support of NATO airstrikes, the rebels were able to capture the capital, Tripoli. Gaddafi went into hiding but was captured and killed by rebel forces on October 20, 2011.

Gaddafi's death marked the end of his 42-year rule in Libya and the beginning of a new chapter in the country's history. However, his legacy remains controversial, as some view him as a liberator who brought prosperity and development to Libya, while others see him as a dictator who oppressed and murdered his own people.

In conclusion, Muammar Gaddafi was a complex and controversial figure who played a significant role in Libyan history. While his leadership brought economic growth and improvements in some areas, it was also marked by authoritarianism, repression, and support for terrorism. His death in 2011 marked the end of his 42-year rule and the beginning of a new chapter in the country's history.

Cooking Chocolate and Fire for Valentine’s Day

  Next Tuesday is Valentine’s Day, which many love birds might celebrate with flowers, Champagne and, of course, chocolate galore. Which got me thinking: When did Valentine’s Day become a chocolate-flavored holiday? Why not vanilla, caramel or hot peppers? It’s probably all because of Richard Cadbury, who started marketing heart-shaped, Cupid-bedecked boxes of chocolate bonbons for Valentine’s Day back in the 1860s.  The tradition stuck . Homemade fudgy treats, though, do make for a more intimate display of affection. Yossi Arefi has three new chocolate desserts that, like relationships,  she writes , can range in commitment. The simplest is a recipe for  peanut butter hot fudge sundaes  (above) with store-bought ice cream and a warm, nutty hot fudge sauce. Slightly more involved is a bittersweet  chocolate soufflé cake  with a brittle, crunchy top and molten filling. And, there’s her luxe  Earl Grey crème Brulé , its dense custard gently perfumed...
