Saif al-Islam Gaddafi

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi is the son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. He was once considered a potential successor and played a role in Libya’s government and business sectors. During Libya’s 2011 civil war, he supported his father’s regime, which was overthrown and led to his arrest. After years in captivity, he was detained in Libya, but in 2021, he was released, and there are ongoing discussions about his future political role. His involvement in Libya's politics and conflict has made him a notable, controversial figure in the country’s recent history.
