Muammar
Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi
(Arabic:
معمر القذافي Mu‘ammar al-Qaḏḏāfī; also known simply
as Colonel Gaddafi; born 7 June 1942) has been the
de facto leader of Libya since a coup in 1969.
From 1972, when Gaddafi relinquished the title of
prime minister, he has been accorded the honorifics
"Guide of the First of September Great Revolution
of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya"
or "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution"
in government statements and the official press.
With the death of Omar Bongo of Gabon on 8 June
2009, he became the longest serving of all current
non-royal national leaders. He is also the longest-serving
ruler of Libya since Ali Pasha Al Karamanli, who
ruled between 1754 and 1795.
Gaddafi
was born in a Bedouin family near Sirt. Although
this claim is not proven, there is speculation that
his biological father was Albert Preziosi, a Free
French Forces air officer of Corsican origins.
As
an early follower of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel
Nasser and his Arab socialist and nationalism ideal,
he took a part as a teenager in anti-Israeli demonstrations
during Suez Crisis.
