Which figure is associated with overthrowing Libya's monarchy and becoming its dictator?

• A. King Idris
• B. Muammar al-Qaddafi
• C. Omar Al-Bashir
• D. Hassan al-Banna

Answer: (B)

Muammar al-Qaddafi led the 1969 coup that toppled Libya’s monarchy under King Idris I. A group of Libyan army officers seized the government, ended the royal rule, and established a revolutionary regime that propelled Qaddafi into decades of dictatorship. This is the figure most closely associated with overthrowing Libya’s monarchy and taking control of the country. By contrast, Omar Al-Bashir is known for seizing power in Sudan, Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and King Idris was the monarch who was overthrown.
