Why did the Libyan people remove Muammar al-Gaddafi?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He has used the rather considerable wealth of Libya, derived from oil exports, to finance his personal projects rather than to improve the lives of the people of Libya. He is guilty of many very terrible violations of human rights. He is a corrupt and insane ruler.

What bad things did gaddafi do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Muammar al-Gaddafi did both bad and good things while in power.

Any leader who has absolute power under a police state is a dictator. A country where there is no court system, no personal freedoms, a rich country with a poor population is a recipe for abuse. "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." There are a lot of suspicions and some evidence of his abuses but, like Saddam Hussein, what the realities are and what will be found when he is gone will tell the story. Sometimes it takes a generation or two for people who have lived a lifetime of oppression and abuse to begin to tell their stories or reveal their evidence.

Some good things he did may arguably have been:

  • his policies of generous welfare
  • imported workforce
  • massive land development
  • free education

Was gaddafi a dictator?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but he came to a bad end as he should have expected.

Any leader who has absolute power under a police state is a dictator. When there is no court system, no personal freedoms, a rich ruling family with a poor population. But sometimes dictators don't get to live out their lives in luxury and power. Gaddafi went the way of Hitler, Mussolini, and most recently Saddam.
