Our comment in the memory of On 24 December 1951, Libya declared its independence as the United Kingdom of Libya is: History will not repeat itself, unless quality people supported by skilled, faithful, and good will are available. Lacked such qualities would produce what we are facing which contradicts our dreams of the golden age Libya have had at the Libyan Kingdom times (1951-1969). To recover what we lost as a nation would require a lot including but not limited to good will, understand, work , making decisions, , and to introduce painful sacrifices from all concerned parties (many, many parties), We have to spend too much time connecting the dots,,, to reach a course of action among several alternative possibilities... Otherwise golden age of Libya as a unitary country or a united country is over. ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ For Ref: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: On 24 December 1951, Libya declared its independence as the United Kingdom of Libya, a constitutional and hereditary monarchy under King Idris, Libyas only monarch. The discovery of significant oil reserves in 1959 and the subsequent income from petroleum sales enabled one of the worlds poorest nations to establish an extremely wealthy state. Although oil drastically improved the Libyan governments finances, resentment among some factions began to build over the increased concentration of the nations wealth in the hands of King Idris. On 1 September 1969, a small group of military officers led by 27-year-old army officer Muammar Gaddafi staged a coup détat against King Idris, launching the Al Fateh Revolution. More From wikipedia On 2 March 1977, Libya officially became the Great Socialist Peoples Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Gaddafi officially passed power to the General Peoples Committees and henceforth claimed to be no more than a symbolic figurehead.[48] Dissidence against the new system was not tolerated. At around the same time the Jamahiriya was established, Gaddafi authorized the execution of twenty-two officers who had participated in a 1975 attempted military coup, in addition to the execution of several civilians.[49] The new jamahiriya governance structure he established was officially referred to as direct democracy,[50] though the government refused to publish election results. And More From wikipedia After the Arab Spring movements overturned the rulers of Tunisia and Egypt, Libya experienced a full-scale revolt beginning on 17 February 2011.[64] By 20 February, the unrest had spread to Tripoli. On 27 February 2011, the National Transitional Council was established to administer the areas of Libya under rebel control. On 10 March 2011, France became the first state to officially recognise the council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people. Pro-Gaddafi forces were able to respond militarily to rebel pushes in Western Libya and launched a counterattack along the coast toward Benghazi, the de facto centre of the uprising.[67] The town of Zawiya, 48 kilometres (30 mi) from Tripoli, was bombarded by air force planes and army tanks and seized by Jamahiriya troops, exercising a level of brutality not yet seen in the conflict.
