Flashback: Gaddafi's 42 years in power



Picture taken 04 August 1975 in Kampala of Libyan Head of State Colonel Muammar Gaddafi during the summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Gaddafi, born in 1942, celebrated on 01 September 2010, 41 years in power as the Arab world's longest-serving, but most enigmatic head of state. He formed in 1963 the Free Officers Movement, a group of revolutionary army officers, which overthrew 01 September 1969 King Idris of Libya and proclaimed Libya, in the name of 'freedom, socialism and unity,' Socialist People's Jamahiriya.
