Muammar al-Qaddafi, long standing and very eccentric dictator of Libya, have been born in 1942. During the school period he became a fervent follower of Egyptian revolutionary president Ga- mal Abdul Nasser. In 1963 Qaddafi enrolled in the Military Academy in Benghazi. On 1 September 1969 Qaddafi and his radical Pan-Arab movement called the Free Unionist Officers deposed King Idris I in almost bloodless coup. At the age of 27 he became a leader of the state. After seizing power, Qaddafi announced that among his major goals are: removal of foreign military bases, international neutrality of Libya, national unity, Arab unity and suppression of political parties. Declaring that "representation is fraud", Qaddafi proposed that he would bring to Libya a pure form of democracy. Inspired by China's Cultural Revolution and ideas of Mao Zedong, he created an enigmatic system of "popular committees" which have to had perfect mixture of Islam and socialism. Between 1971 and 1980 Libyan leader made repeated abortive attempts to unite country with various Arab states. Later he declared that Libya is "above all an African country" and became a great adherent of the African unity. By years Qaddafi was treated as a protector of various terrorist organizations and in final has broken off these relations.
