You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

He held many positions in the era of the [[Kingdom of Libya]] and was the tenth [[Prime Minister of Libya]] from 4 September 1968 to 31 August 1969, when his government was overthrown by [[Muammar Gaddafi]] (no relation).

== Biography ==
Qaddafi was born in [[Benghazi]], [[Italian Cyrenaica]], in 1922.<ref name=HML/> During the Italian colonial period, an Italian lawyer trained him for a career in law. According to some accounts, during the [[World War II|Second World War]] he fled with his family to Sudan, only returning to his country after it was occupied by the British. The young Qaddafi was taken up by the Allied Forces overseeing the administration of Benghazi and was the first Libyan to be recruited by the British for the political administration of [[Cyrenaica]]. Following the independence of Libya in 1951, he became a provincial minister in Cyrenaica, first of health, later of justice and transportation, and chaired Cyrenaica's Executive Council.

A friend of [[Idris of Libya]], the post-war national leader, in 1962–1963 he was Minister of Foreign Affairs, then Interior Minister.<ref name="MENA">''The Middle East and North Africa'', vol. 40 (1993), p. 646</ref> In 1964, he served for a short time as Labor Minister before being appointed as ambassador to [[West Germany]].<ref>((cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ElBZAAAAIAAJ&q=wanis+gaddafi+germany | title=Almanac of Current World Leaders | year=1968 ))</ref> Finally, in September 1968 became the last Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Libya,<ref name=HML/> replacing [[Abdul Hamid al-Bakkoush]], whose reforms had alienated some conservative elements.<ref name="MENA" />

On 17 November 1968, Qaddafi opened the fifth session of the [[Libyan National Assembly]] in [[Bayda, Libya|Bayda]] and gave the annual prime minister's speech from the throne, emphasizing the themes of "stability, prosperity, and progress".<ref>''[[Africa Report]]'', vol. 14 (1969), p. 30</ref>

Qaddafi was ousted from office by a [[1969 Libyan coup d'état|coup d'état against King Idris]] on 1 September 1969, and was sentenced by the [[Libyan People's Court]] to two years in prison.<ref>''A Political Chronology of Africa'' (Europa Publications, 2003), p. 242</ref> He returned to private life after his release and died of a heart attack in December 1986, aged 64.

=== Family ===
Wanis al-Qaddafi was married to Amal, the daughter of [[Omar Faiek Shennib]], from the distinguished [[House of Shennib#Wanis al-Qaddafi and Amal Shennib|House of Shennib]]. She founded a high school in 1961 and worked as headmistress there until she resigned in 1974 to look after Wanis, who had suffered a heart attack. After Wanis' death in 1986, she continued to live in their modest house in [[Benghazi]], [[Libya]].<ref name=":0">((Cite web |date=2011-10-19 |title=For Amal, life (re)begins at 75 |url=https://www.arabnews.com/node/395340 |access-date=2023-02-09 |website=Arab News |language=en))</ref>

In 1977, Al-Qaddafi's eldest son Majid, fled to United States following his involvement in the April 1976 demonstrations against the Gaddafi regime at Benghazi's Gar Younis university which saw hundreds of student demonstrators killed or imprisoned.<ref>'Libya: What Happened and When'|publisher=Libya-Watanona.com|url=http://www.libya-watanona.com/libya/libyans.htm</ref> Identified as a key protester, Majid Al A-Qaddafi found safe passage to the US and eventually settling in Portland, Oregon where he kept a low profile. He was allowed to return to Libya in 1994.<ref name=":0" /> After the [[killing of Muammar Gaddafi]] in 2011, Majid emerged as a leading federalist.<ref>((Cite web |last=Grant |first=George |date=2012-07-10 |title=Federalists welcome Jibril victory; hint at dissolution if dialogue successful |url=https://www.libyaherald.com/2012/07/federalists-welcome-jibril-victory-hint-at-dissolution-if-dialogue-successful/ |access-date=2023-02-09 |website=LibyaHerald |language=en-US))</ref> He died in August 2012.<ref>((Cite web |date=2012-09-02 |title=An emotive history — the story of the flag |url=https://libyaherald.com/en/2012/09/a-emotive-history-the-story-of-the-flag/ |access-date=2023-02-09 |website=LibyaHerald |language=en-US))</ref>

Al-Qaddafi's younger son, Mohsen Al-Qaddafi fared less well. In 1981, at age 13, he became involved in a plot against Qaddafi. The plot was discovered and its leaders executed. Others were sentenced to life imprisonment.<ref>'Libya: What Happened and When'|publisher=Libya-Watanona.com|url=http://www.libya-watanona.com/libya/libyans.htm</ref> Mohsen was imprisoned at the age of fourteen and passed the next seven years in jail, as Qaddafi's youngest political prisoner. Soon after his release in 1988, he was smuggled to Tunisia by his family to study in Egypt and eventually joined his elder brother in the United States.
