As the former supreme leader of Libya, Gaddafi was in power for more than 40 years, single-handedly creating his own prestige and glory, but all this came to naught before his death.
Ironically, Gaddafi had almost no dignity during his lifetime. Not only was he betrayed by his own people, but he was also dragged more than forty meters down the pipe by soldiers. It is unimaginable that this will be a great shame and humiliation for the once unruly and arrogant Gaddafi.
So why did Gaddafi end up in such a miserable situation?
Gaddafi was born in June 1942 into a poor family of Bedouin herders. His father was an ordinary shepherd who supported the family by herding.
He was the youngest of the three Gaddafi sisters. Due to his poor family, Gaddafi grew up in rags and was often nicknamed a "hillbilly" by his classmates. His parents could not afford to pay for the accommodation, and Qaddafi had to spend the night on the floor of a nearby mosque after school every day.
Gaddafi would have been embarrassed by his poverty at first, but the harsh circumstances of his life did not break him, but strengthened his willpower. He believes that external conditions cannot determine a person's worth or his future. The possibilities are still endless.
After entering college, the family's financial situation did not improve. However, Gaddafi at this time showed excellent leadership and organizational skills, and even built his own team of supporters.
His impassioned speeches often ignited the enthusiasm of his classmates. Despite his expulsion, his resolve did not waver in the slightest. Gaddafi knew that to win his followers, he had to win their hearts. As a result, he vigorously packaged his image on campus, instilling in his classmates that he was their spiritual leader.
In 1969, at the age of 27, Gaddafi decided the time had come. While Libyan King Idris was on vacation abroad, the 27-year-old Gaddafi led his secret "Free Officers Organization" to arrest senior generals of the King's Guard. And occupied ** various important departments.
And just like that, Gaddafi ascended to the position of his dreams. Still, Gaddafi retains many of the habits he developed from childhood. He lived in tents all year round, not in hotels, and even when receiving foreign envoys. Qaddafi seems to want to find a shadow of his childhood in this humble tent and relive those hard but free years.
As his power was consolidated, Gaddafi also received the title of King of Kings, so he began to become arrogant, lived a life of luxury, and was able to provoke even everyone.
In the early hours of February 15, 2011, anti-Gaddafi demonstrations erupted in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets, chanting anti-Gaddafi slogans.
In the face of angry demonstrators, Gaddafi quickly dispatched military and police to suppress them. But the opposition forces are too strong, and the ** army is leaderless and powerless to quell the riots.
In desperation, Gaddafi also called former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and said: "If I lose power, I will rise up and attack Europe." However, his idea had no effect at all. On the contrary, it's like losing a dog. A feeling.
Under the double pressure of internal and external troubles, Gaddafi became impulsive and rash. On February 24, Gaddafi warned: Don't challenge my tolerance, or the whole of Libya will be blown up. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the public indignation of the entire Libyan people.
In this way, Gaddafi fought fiercely with the domestic resistance for eight months. It wasn't until October, as the situation in the country deteriorated, that Gaddafi realized that it was no longer possible to stay in the capital. Under the cover of his henchmen, he fled from the capital to his hometown and began a life of exile.
To be on the safe side, they no longer use their mobile phones and hide in remote mountainous areas where there is no signal. They need to change their hiding place frequently, otherwise they can be easily caught. Even just being able to live in a dilapidated house is a great comfort to them.
According to the recollections of close aides close to Gaddafi, Gaddafi's mood during this period was extremely low, and he felt very painful and helpless about his current situation. He often complained to his followers and asked him why he had come to this point.
However, Gaddafi's whereabouts remain known to the opposition. In the early hours of October 20, opposition forces launched a fierce siege on Gaddafi's hometown. Gaddafi realized that the situation was over, and only an outbreak would give rise to a glimmer of hope.
Under the cover of his trusted bodyguards, he fought his way out of the encirclement. Although Gaddafi escaped, it was still unsafe outside, so he was forced to hide in a drain on the side of the road.
Just when Gaddafi thought he was safe for the time being, Libyan opposition soldiers quickly locked on Gaddafi's position.
Subsequently, the soldiers dragged the dying Gaddafi out of the pipe and surrounded him. They saw Gaddafi wounded in both legs and shot in the back and head. He could only beg the soldiers to let him go, but the soldiers did not do so. He ignored it, but dragged it more than 40 meters and threw it into the jeep.
In the jeep, soldiers surrounded Gaddafi, punched and kicked him, and even held up their mobile phones to take pictures. In response, Gaddafi confronted the soldiers who beat him and said, "What have I done to you?"You want to do this to me. Seeing this, the soldiers became even more excited. They fought with each other to leave something on Gaddafi's body. own traces.
According to the soldiers' accounts, Gaddafi begged them to stop, saying that he was like their father, but this weak act of begging for mercy further stirred up the longing in the hearts of the soldiers.
In order to prevent Gaddafi from escaping, the soldiers fired several shots at Gaddafi, two of which hit Gaddafi's vital points. The soldiers then transported him to his destination, but before he could arrive, Gaddafi lost his vitality.
After Gaddafi's death, his body was placed in an icy room and onlookers were allowed to point fingers. Many visitors even took pictures of the bodies. After a few days of foul odors, the bodies were temporarily closed to the public.
On October 25, 2011, the Transitional Council announced that Gaddafi had been buried, but the location of his burial remains a mystery to this day. It is said that only four people in the world know the exact location, and they vowed not to reveal the place of Gaddafi's burial during their lifetime.
Muammar el-Qaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years, came to a tragic end just 11 months after losing power. His defeat and death silently heralded the end of an era.
It turns out that even the former king of kings can only fall in the past. Gaddafi's actions will only embarrass him on the international stage.
