Too what extent did Gaddafis rule have a negative impact in Libya?
Gadaffis rule has had a negative impact in Libya to lesser extent through his increasing of the country’s wealth liberating Libyans from foreign extortion of the countries resources as it were previously and enriching the country’s infrastructure as well as the Libyan defence , Muammar Gadaffi had also introduced his own political system to be seen as superior to the other two leading ideologies known as communism and capitalism promoting Libyan equality and the countries people having the only say and the leaders of the country to be only carrying out the Libyan peoples wishes , however his rule had brought about a lot of social and political issues apart from the economic
Protestants in Libya were attacked by security forces, reportedly snipers, under the orders of former leader of Libya Gaddafi and his circle including intelligence chief Abdullah Al-Senussi and son Saif al-Islam. The events left thousands of civilians including women and children, dead and gravely injured which caught the attention of the ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo. Although these crimes were judicially the responsibility of the Libyan government, it had failed in stopping and preventing these crimes from being committed which ultimately made them responsible in the eyes of Justice. Although before the ICC could get their hands on Gaddafi and his sons Libyan authorities in Tripoli arrested them and sentenced his sons and eight other
Technocrats are a bureaucratic power that aid Congress and the president, or the government in general, in carrying out their intentions. The reason technocrats are needed is because, or it is at least theorized, that the increase in technological advancement also increased the need of these "technical experts." Since Libya is still forming their government, I believe that, in this case, that technocrats were a good choice because they can focus on their designated task under supervision, while others work on the forming of the best government for the Libyans. Once this government is created though, I believe that the power of this bureaucracies should weaken so that there is balance between powers. Another benefit of having the technical
1111Attention all leaders around the world, including the beautiful Queens. There's a severe disease going around and only affects Presidents and Presidents only. Not the doctors, not the nurses, not any other hospital workers, not other patients who are sharing the same hospital room, not the patient's family members and loved ones, not the secret service agents, not the soldiers who are visiting their fellow injured soldiers, perhaps sometimes one only. Not the government officials traveling alongside of the President in the same convoy. And definitely not the honest, patriotic, an affectionate former parliament member either. Since bullet wounds known to be very much contagious, shaking hands or showing any type of affection to the injured
For years in Libya, there has been a very corrupt government. There was a dictator in power, his name was Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Qaddafi. This lasted from the years of 1969 to 2011. His dictatorship and
Before the war, Shah was the leader of Iran, whose dictatorship repressed dissent and restricted political freedoms. Shah also pushed the country to adopt Western-oriented secular modernization. Britain and the US counted Iran as an ally in the middle east. One of the causes for the revolution was the Shah's regime became increasingly oppressive, brutal, corrupt, and extravegant. One of the other causes was, Shah's regime was also suffering from basic function failures that brought economic bottlenecks, shortages, and
This war was very tragic on so many levels is unbelievable. The war lasted for years as more than 5 million soldiers died. This place is very poor and one of the most hopeless country out there. It's crazy how it used to be one of the most wealthiest country out there in Saharan Africa. They had another election as Mr. Kabila was back to power like he was before and nothing changed. All the government has done was shrug as he found out about rape story. He would help he claims but there's too much time on his hands he says.
This revolution caused many countries with authoritarian governments become less self-assured. Despite our inability to conclude definitively that this is going to be the start of yet another global democratic process – these events have shown us that the Arab world is not as obdurate towards democracy as we might have previously believed. In light of this information, we can see the importance of violence as a means of striving towards democracy. The violence in the case of the Arab revolts is seen as a positive stride towards capitalist development. This, in turn, will lead to a freer society by way of disbanding the authoritarian government which rules these
A dictator’s worst nightmare is their own people because the transformation of institutions can threaten a dictator’s grip over a nation, either leading to their brutal crackdown on citizens or the forced removal of their regime. Citizens who are eager for change can be the death knell of an oppressive regime. For Tunisia, former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, like many other rulers, eventually faced this threat. In 2011, the culmination of oppression and brutality led to the self-immolation of the young Tunisian street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi. This triggered a multitude of protests that spread not only throughout Tunisia, but to other nations which came to be known as the Arab Spring, and to Tunisia, the Tunisian or Jasmine Revolution. This paper examines the institutional transformations that occurred in Tunisia in respects to why the change took place and how it has affected the country. Specifically, Ben Ali’s authoritative rule, what problems were associated with the transition, and the aftermath of the revolution.
The transformation of institutions can threaten the dethroning of a dictator’s grip over a nation, either leading to a brutal crackdown on citizens or the introduction of new inclusive policies. To dictators, citizens who are eager for change can be the death knell of an oppressive regime. For Tunisia, former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, like many other rulers, eventually faced this threat. In 2011, the culmination of oppression and brutality led to the self-immolation of the young Tunisian street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi. This triggered a multitude of protests that spread not only throughout Tunisia, but among other nations which came to be known as the Arab Spring. Countries experienced the Arab Spring in several ways, some of which were positively transformative, others which were unfortunately not. This paper examines the institutional transformations that occurred in Tunisia in respects to why the change took place and how it has affected the country. Specifically, Ben Ali’s authoritative rule, what problems were associated with the transition, and the aftermath of the revolution.
The months following the Arab Spring were a turbulent time in across North Africa, but especially in Libya. In November 2011, a month after the death
Libya has the highest human development rate , which is based on quality of life, education, and life expectancy. This number is a direct correlation to the government. Everyone has the right to take part in government , and elected their own leaders. In Libya, the government is violating basic rights and suppressing their people so they can not be included. The government is worried that if they incorporate a system where citizens could make decisions they will later overpower leaders. The citizens are starting to get fed up with the fact that the government is slowly turning into a dictatorship. The Libyan government is violating the people's right to a democracy which can be solved by reforming the existing government structure.
The Libya Conflict that erupted on March 19th 2011. The United States was actively seen as a ‘’World Policemen” in enforcing peace in Libya through democracy which is the United States main goal to promote.
Thus affecting the ways regime transition occurs. "Tunisians will need to struggle with the social classes to show themselves in the country's continuing political turmoil. Egyptians must reform their institutions of government and Libyans will need to recover from a horrific civil war." (Anderson, 2011) Basically, Lisa Anderson (the president of the American University in Cairo) is saying although the revolts started coincidentally, they were not similar at all. Tunisia was ripped their rights of free expression, Egypt was restricted to basic needs and Libya experienced oppression. The type of military force also differs that will alter their outcomes. Nonetheless the situations these countries were in, sparked a social response towards their hatred against regimes. The people demanded reforms that signified the desire for transition between regimes through a powerful revolution that resonated in the Arab
Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, and completely enclosed by the Sahara Desert, Libya is a low-populated country that was once was a part of the Roman province of New Africa. While the sum region is close up to 680,000 square miles, the population is close to merely 5.6 million, appearing in a low community frequency of 9.4 persons every square mile. Libya has a Parliamentary Government. A parliamentary democracy is a democratic form of government in which the party with the greatest representation in the parliament (legislature) forms the government. So instead of having the separation of powers like we do here in the United States, Libya’s government has its powers placed in one main section.
From the 8th to 16h centuries C.E., Muslim invaders repeatedly attacked the Indian subcontinent. These conquerors, originally Arab and Persian but later Turkish, gradually expanded their control until by 1500 all but the southernmost edge of India was under Muslim rule. How did these Muslim forces conquer such a large area of land? Why were the powerful India kingdoms unable to defend against these incursions? Why were Muslim rulers so persistent in their aims? What were the consequences of Muslim rule in India?
