I visited Libya in September 1996 for the 27th anniversary of the ‘revolution’ – a military coup that a 27-year-old Gadhafi led to topple the monarchy and since which he has ruled. Some were optimistic that Gadhafi’s ‘revolution’ could herald a new Libya, but it didn’t take long for his brutality to stamp out any such hopes.
