THE DEMISE OF LIBYA’S FLAWED SYMBOL: The Assassination of Muammar Qaddafi, The Disarray of the Country and the Resultant Aftershocks in Africa

This account of Muammar Gaddafi takes us to his rise to power, to the moments when he was in the spotlight, and then to his travails and his swift elimination from the geopolitical developments in Libya in a procession that plunged the country into a turmoil that it is yet to recover from. With insight, lucidity, impartiality, breadth, and diligence, Janvier T, Chando manages to delineate the intricate threads that weaved the controversial character of Muammar Gaddafi. He not only finds the truth from the disparate accounts about the Libyan strongman, he shed light on him in a unique manner that makes the narrative highly accurate. From this account, we are presented with an insight into the Muammar Gaddafi’s lifelong struggle to find a solid purpose. It is a journey that saw him pursue and give up on the cause for Pan-Arabism, and Pan-Maghrebism, of his embrace of terrorism and ultimate rejection of it, of his somber pursuit of Pan-Africanism, and finally, of his realization of his own shortcomings. This unequivocal account draws from a wide range of sources, and balances these divergent views and opposing actions in a remarkable manner.Read more
