[edit] Biography
Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi overthrew King Idris and his father, the Crown Prince, on 1 September 1969 in the Al Fateh Revolution.[1] Al-Gaddafi detained the royal family and held them under house arrest. In 1988, they were allowed to emigrate to the United Kingdom.
Muhammad as-Senussi received his education in the United Kingdom. On June 18, 1992, he was appointed as heir by his father to succeed him in death as Crown Prince and Head of the Royal House of Libya.
[edit] Quotes
- The return of monarchy to Libya is not a priority, but "the United Nations - which endorsed the Libyan constitution upon independence - must interfere and restore the constitution, to hold free elections and let the people decide what system they prefer."[2]
