Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution
Unofficial title held by Muammar Gaddafi / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (Arabic: الأخ القائد ومرشد الثورة الجماهرية العربية الليبية الشعبية الإشتراكية العظمى) was a title held by former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who claimed to be merely a symbolic figurehead of the country's official governance structure.[1][2] However, critics long described him as a dictator,[3] referring to his position as the de facto former political office, despite the Libyan state's denial of him holding any power.[1][2]
