Libya Leadership

Col. Muammar al-Qadhafi has no official title, but he runs Libya and is the de facto chief of state. The Secretary of the General People's Congress is chief of state in theory but is not treated as such. The Secretary of the General People's Committee plays the role of prime minister.

By the early 1990s Qadhafi appeared focused on making room in the top echelons of power for Libya's second "revolutionary" generation, men in their 40's and 50's. These are unswervingly loyal to Qadhafi. They proved it by crushing a number of uprisings, particularly in October 1993 and March 1994, and in taking part in hunting down the regime's opponents.
