Despite the fact that this nation is an oil-rich nation, it cannot boast of any meaningful national development. Reason being that the rule of Gadhaffi's rule was a repressive one. He strangled democracy, abused power and dealt with anyone who wasn't on his side.

At another time, he engaged in deceptive dealings with foreign bodies and did all these so as to remain in power. Gadhaffi ruled Libya for over 40 years and yet it's supposed to be a democratic system of government not monarchy.

Gadhaffi was never like that when he was serving a young civil servant. He always make the people believe that he has their best interest at heart. But alas, when he got power in 1969 as a Leader of the Libyan people, after about five years, he started abusing this power given to him by the people which has led to the detriment of the Libyans.

The aftermath of his abuse of power is the current lawlessness in Libya.
