FunTranscript
00:08Evil, powerful, uncompromising, ruthless, behind closed doors, a private hell.
00:21Tyrants often deviate in their sexual behavior.
00:26He fantasized about older women.
00:30He puts makeup on.
00:32He had thousands of concubines.
00:34They were this glamorous, gun-toting sex objects.
00:39Fire on designated targets.
00:41The psychological insights of the degenerate and deviant.
00:45He was obsessed with aphrodisiacs.
00:48It's typical of somebody who's sexually repressed.
00:52Power can change somebody.
01:07On October the 20th, 2011, Muammar Gaddafi, the deposed leader of Libya, was captured by revolutionary forces and shown merciless
01:19mob justice.
01:23He was found in a drainage area and the mob set upon him.
01:29They literally ripped him apart.
01:32They beat him up.
01:34They brutalized him using a bayonet.
01:36He quite literally died by the sword.
01:39a really bloody and brutal end to this dictator's life.
01:45Brutal in the extreme.
01:48But for the young women of Libya, it meant they were finally safe from a serial sexual predator,
01:54who had gone from being a revolutionary liberator to a violent lech.
02:02I think he was terrified by women and he was terrified by his own sexuality.
02:07And that's what led to these deviant, almost perverted paths.
02:13He portrayed himself as a revolutionary, as a hero.
02:17And that quickly changed into becoming a supporter of terrorist networks.
02:23After the tyrant is toppled and the cathartic celebrations have calmed,
02:30the United Nations-led transition force closes off Gaddafi's private residences to preserve the evidence.
02:40We realized we were underneath a collapsed palace, an underground luxury apartment.
02:46When cameras were finally allowed into Gaddafi's inner sanctum,
02:50they revealed the former Libyan leader's secret life.
02:56Hey, look what we've got here.
02:57Wow.
03:01Luxury, pink-footed-out bathroom.
03:05And that is some bath.
03:08Beyond the garish fittings and kitsch furnishings,
03:12deeper underground were hidden dungeons and gynaecological equipment.
03:18The playground of a sexual monster.
03:23For two decades, Gaddafi had ordered the abduction and forced imprisonment of countless young women,
03:31girls and boys.
03:33He did horrific things to women, to children, uh, he was very violent.
03:42He actually had a torture chamber, uh, that was hidden away in a basement.
03:48And in this location, he would torture women, he would force them to watch him torture other people.
03:58The man who called himself the brotherly leader and guide of the revolution was in fact
04:05spiriting victims to his hellhole palace and inflicting sexual violence upon them for weeks, months, even years.
04:18When we look at the narratives of sexual deviance and Gaddafi, uh, 100% fits that profile,
04:26we can see that this is not something that just comes out of nowhere.
04:32What were the behavioral red flags, the psychological signs and signifiers,
04:39that may have alerted the outside world to Gaddafi's secret life of sexual abuse?
04:46What were the formative experiences, the nature and nurture,
04:51that would create a man capable of such callous and sadistic crimes?
05:03What were the thoughts of sexual abuse?
05:05Muammar Gaddafi was born in the early 1940s, on the outskirts of a rural town called Serte.
05:13Tripoli, in whose streets the past mingles with an uncertain future.
05:19Libya was barely a country. Colonized by Italy in the early 20th century,
05:25they were under occupation until the fall of Mussolini's fascist regime
05:29at the end of World War II.
05:32Gaddafi was born in an anti-Western, anti-colonial atmosphere.
05:38Libya has been colonized by Italy for a number of years,
05:42and Gaddafi was born into that anti-Western sentiment.
05:48Living a nomadic subsistence existence, herding goats and camels,
05:53Gaddafi is the only son in a traditional Bedouin family.
05:57Seen here, aged 10, Muammar is very much the favoured child, even more so once he grew into adulthood.
06:07He was young, attractive, powerful, he became rich, and women flocks around him.
06:21Gaddafi listened to the stories of his heroic grandfather,
06:25who was killed by the Italians when they invaded in 1911.
06:29The seeds of hatred for the West were sown.
06:35Gaddafi was very much a product of the Arab world when he grew up.
06:41And at that stage, the Arab world had a massive inferiority complex.
06:46We are just colonies for the West, for the capitalists, for America, for the Anglos.
06:52And we are regarded in a very poor light.
07:00So after the Italians were ousted in World War II from North Africa,
07:05Libya became the first new nation under the United Nations in 1947.
07:10But though the new nation had driven out their Italian overlords,
07:14the return to monarchy must have felt like a backward step to the young Gaddafi.
07:21Gaddafi was born and grew up in a Libya that had been part of the Italian Empire,
07:28part of a fascist regime.
07:29And this really became a driving force for the way that Gaddafi would develop as a person,
07:36and the way that his ideals would develop as he tried to shake off the shackles of imperialism.
07:43Nevertheless, Libya was a nation emerging from colonial chaos with optimism.
07:51Education was expensive and far from accessible for his humble, illiterate Bedouin family.
07:58A young Gaddafi was the first in his family to receive any formal education.
08:04So there were two major driving forces behind Gaddafi,
08:08the first being an anti-West feeling, anti-colonialism, independence,
08:14and the second was the creation of an Arab state.
08:18At primary school, Gaddafi was already laying the foundations for his ambition,
08:24making friends that would be at his side when he took power two decades later.
08:30We can say this with some certainty. He was not a stupid man.
08:34In many ways, he was quite intelligent. So you would say, well, he had enough intelligence to look
08:40and say, hmm, this is over the top. This is not getting me anywhere.
08:44But his own grandiose, manic sense always overruled that.
08:51The young Muwama gave no clues to the sexual deviants and proclivities to which he inclined in later life.
08:59Did the power corrupt the person or was the person already corrupt and had this narcissistic,
09:04out-of-reality kind of persona? It could be perhaps be both in the case of Gaddafi,
09:10because you do have reports about his wit attitude, his smart attitude and so on.
09:15But then you see the kind of person he carried himself. He did portray himself as a hero.
09:21And to some extent, he did believe himself to be the answer to Libyan's calls and maybe to their prayers
09:26and God's prayers.
09:29When, as a teenager, he witnessed military officer Gamal Abdel Nasser overthrow the Egyptian monarchy
09:36in the name of Pan-Arab nationalism, that became his role model.
09:42And this is what was really food and drink to Gaddafi when he was growing up.
09:49One day we will reassemble the Arab empires and we will take our revenge for the way we have been
09:55treated,
09:56because we are the great, we are the Muslims, and we deserve to really control the world.
10:05During a demonstration in October 1961,
10:08an 18-year-old student Gaddafi was expelled from school for breaking the windows of a hotel that sold alcohol.
10:18Later in life, dictator Gaddafi indulged his taste for Western whiskey and cocaine.
10:26But for now, the would-be revolutionary was keen to target Western decadence as the source of all the world's
10:33evils.
10:34He was determined to stand up and say the West is corrupt, it's decadent,
10:39you've treated us badly, I'm going to show you what a real Arab leader is like.
10:52It was at the University of Libya in Benghazi that Muammar Gaddafi determined he would become a leader of his
11:00people.
11:02Inspired by his hero, Egypt's General Nasser, and devouring books on the French Revolution and Pan-Arab nationalism,
11:10he resolved to plot the overthrow of the colonially-installed government of King Idris.
11:17On graduation, he joined the military.
11:21Gaddafi was laying the groundwork for a new Libya.
11:25If we go to the beginning of his life, he is a sincere, honest military officer,
11:33who is helping his country become independent of foreign powers and trying to help the people of his country.
11:51In 1966, he was sent by the army to England for advanced signals training.
11:58The contrast of hips swinging London to his dusty home of Tripoli could not have been more stark.
12:05Later, Gaddafi claimed he was bullied by the British for wearing traditional dress.
12:11Sorry, you have annoyed me in England, therefore you got me no chance to learn English.
12:17Whatever happened left an indelible mark on Gaddafi's psyche,
12:22which he later expressed with anti-English and anti-Semitic views.
12:28In fact, we were ill-treated in that place from some British officers.
12:38I think those officers were Jews.
12:44Well, I think he was a product of what you would call a tribal society and tribal values.
12:51So tribal values are you appreciate loyalty in those close to you and everybody else is a potential enemy,
12:59so you stand up against them.
13:02One person Gaddafi did trust, at first, was this woman, school teacher Fatiha al-Nuri.
13:10They married in 1969, but it wouldn't last long.
13:16One person Gaddafi did trust, at first, was this woman.
13:17Weeks later, when Gaddafi was denied a military promotion, he made his move for power.
13:23On September 1st, 1969, he staged a bloodless coup with his Free Officers Movement.
13:30King Idris, overseas in Turkey at the time, was ousted,
13:35and Gaddafi and his fellow officers formed the Socialist Libyan Arab Republic.
13:42Gaddafi promoted himself to colonel,
13:45and appointed himself chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council,
13:50alongside 12 of his closest friends.
13:54The colonel loses few opportunities to be present at a ceremony that will boast his regime's achievements,
13:59and waiting to see him, those who had just moved into their new flats,
14:03and who were out on their balconies, with a fixed rent of only 50p a week to find.
14:08The early years of Gaddafi's presidential reign promised great hope.
14:13Gaddafi enacted real change for his people.
14:17With foresight, he grasped that oil was to become the currency of the world.
14:22Libya was sitting on huge oil reserves owned by foreign commercial entities.
14:28He took them on, called their bluff at the negotiating table, and nationalised the oil industry.
14:37Libyans finally got to enjoy the proceeds of their own country's natural resources.
14:43He had some good plans to revive the Libyan economy, to use some of the oil resources to modernise.
14:52He's running Libya, he's got more money than Croesus could ever have dreamed about,
14:58and he sees himself not just as an Arab nationalist, but as the Arab nationalist.
15:05He's picking up from Nasser, and then he's going back way into Arab history.
15:10And of course the megalomania is running amok.
15:14Perhaps it was the brutal past lessons learned from his Italian oppressors,
15:18or perhaps the Bedouin creed of not trusting anyone.
15:22Gaddafi quickly purged any opposition, even those close to him.
15:29His young wife Fethiye learned the hard way not to defy him.
15:33They divorced after only a year, and she was never seen again.
15:38He was a humble Bedouin who moved to absolute power and became totally corrupt,
15:55and also corrupted his own people.
16:00Loyal friends who had paved Gaddafi's path to power were now being removed one by one,
16:07many of them disappearing without any trace.
16:12Any opposition is suppressed.
16:15Over 300 Libyans at a time were given the death sentence,
16:19many executed by public hanging.
16:26When these men have convinced those around them that they are the superior being,
16:32the best person for the job,
16:34and they're surrounded by yes men, then it becomes very difficult to say no.
16:39And that's where the tyrant is born.
16:41When people start to resist, people start to fight back,
16:43that person will not accept that. And this is where the kind of dictatorship,
16:50the mistreatment of the people comes in.
16:52Anyone who resists is going to find themselves in a lot of trouble.
16:57Taking a leaf from Mao Zedong's Little Red Book,
17:01Gaddafi created the Green Book, Guide to the Libyan Arab Creed.
17:12He saw himself almost as a messiah.
17:17He wrote a book which he believed to be the answer to the world's problems.
17:25He forced people in schools, all the kids in schools,
17:29had to read his book and memorise it and were tested on it.
17:34By the mid-1970s, Libya was swimming in oil dollars.
17:39With money and power, Gaddafi could spread his ambitious tentacles,
17:44while in public, he feigned humility and abstinence.
17:48Do you think there's a good chance that Colonel Gaddafi can be leader of a united Arab world?
17:54I am not searching for the role of leader or president or empire or something like this.
18:02I am doing my duty towards my nation.
18:08But in some ways, Gaddafi appeared to be a genuine progressive.
18:13While the Western world wrestled with women's lib,
18:17the Green Book speaks of the emancipation of women, their freedom and enlightenment.
18:22The president appoints women as his elite bodyguard.
18:28It's only in hindsight that we now know his true motives for surrounding himself with the opposite sex.
18:36Gaddafi surrounds himself with these Amazonian women.
18:40Now, it says something of how he was influenced by the society he was in.
18:46That maybe in the Arab society, that says,
18:50wow, this is really sexualised imagery.
18:54But in Western society, it's seen as crude, almost pornographic.
18:58But it also constantly hints at his own sexual ambiguity and insecurity.
19:11In 1981, Gaddafi opens one of the world's first female-only military academies.
19:25He publicly calls for the release of women imprisoned across the Arab world.
19:32He labels himself the friend of women.
19:36But in private, the women he enlists to protect him
19:40will be trapped in his secret cell of sexual violence.
19:47So, Gaddafi surrounded himself with female bodyguards.
19:51From the outset, that looks quite positive, you know, employing women equal opportunities.
19:57These women were beautiful, heavily made up, coiffured.
20:02But there is a darker side to this, that they were Gaddafi's effectively sex slaves.
20:09He called them bodyguards, but they were really sexual slaves to Gaddafi,
20:16and his proclivities towards sexual violence.
20:20But it is particularly interesting that he chose to clothe these women in military-type fashion.
20:29So, he had fetishized the military vibe, and these women embodied that fetish.
20:40Away from the cameras, a truly horrific scenario was playing out.
20:45In his Tripoli residence he shared with his second wife, Sophia Farkash, and seven children,
20:5230 young women, including girls from the age of 15, were imprisoned in a secret basement apartment.
21:01Here, they are coerced to perform every sex act their leader can conceive of.
21:08Forced to take drugs, submit themselves to be raped, even to be urinated on.
21:13And in turn, they were expected to facilitate the virgin rape of other young Libyan girls.
21:21Gaddafi, any kind of sexual relationship that he had really wasn't sex at all, because none of it was consensual.
21:32He was a sexual sadist.
21:35He was a violent person.
21:38His experience with women could only be categorized as rape.
21:45Gaddafi had reached the depth of his depravity at the height of his power.
21:51But he wanted more.
21:53Much more.
22:02Through the 1980s, Libya's livid leader, Muammar Gaddafi,
22:07was playing a dangerous, high-risk game.
22:10At the height of his power, he felt that he had the ear of the world.
22:15He was bankrolled by millions of dollars in oil, and he even declared himself the King of Africa.
22:26For a while, Gaddafi, because of oil money, had become highly influential in parts of Africa.
22:38And he even went as far as to crown himself as King of Africa.
22:44But again, this was delusional, because other African nations didn't see him that way.
22:52Although some of them were very happy to accept his oil money.
22:57He loved the publicity.
22:59He loved the attention.
23:00He was a real showman.
23:02So I think he genuinely believed that he can be actually the ruler of Africa.
23:11He embraces the pomp and grandeur, slowly but surely manifesting his own cult of personality.
23:19Designing his own uniforms, replete with the many metal jackets, garish, colour-matched ensembles,
23:25intensely dyed hair, rockstar sunglasses and make-up.
23:31As he got older, his shows became more and more extravagant.
23:38And he became more and more divorced from reality.
23:44He had illusions about how people loved him.
23:48And how women loved him.
23:50And that every woman would be honoured to sleep with him.
24:00Gaddafi's personal bodyguards, enticed into service by the promise of career advancement,
24:06receive insufficient training to hold their own among their male compatriots.
24:12In fact, they are selected, taken from their families and pressed into service
24:17on the basis of their looks and their president's personal desires.
24:25That was part of the propaganda, is to try to show himself as a brother leader,
24:28to show himself as a supporter of women's rights.
24:32But deep down, I don't think he cared so much about women's rights
24:35and about the women's status in Libya in general.
24:37I think he used that as a facade or a veneer to hide his really interests
24:43in exploiting women sexually or otherwise.
24:48It's a little bit like what the Nazis did.
24:51The Nazis had these beautiful uniforms that screamed out S&M designed by Hugo Boss.
24:58And all the marching around had very hyper-sexualised images.
25:04And that's exactly what Gaddafi did.
25:07What does it say?
25:08It wants to say something about you, look at my manhood.
25:12But it also hints at, boy, am I insecure beneath it all.
25:18His victims were silenced by shame.
25:22And they weren't limited to young girls.
25:26He even had a group of young boys that he would also sexually abuse.
25:32They were known as the services group to service his every need.
25:39Gaddafi's bisexual predilections were well known among his inner circle,
25:44just as they were to foreign intelligence services, both of allies and enemies.
25:51He was a paedophile.
25:53I'm not sure what he did with men, but he certainly did it with boys.
25:56And I don't think there's any better way of confirming his absolute sexual insecurity and ambiguity.
26:08What you get is the same mentality of the rapist.
26:13Namely, this is power, this is violence.
26:16The actual sex act is almost secondary.
26:19And on top of that, you get somebody who we've got good evidence was sexually tremulous.
26:26He wasn't certain of his sexuality and what he should be.
26:29And he knew in the Arab world, no matter what you say in public,
26:35if the knowledge comes out that you are having sex with boys, your image is shot.
26:40In many situations, these boys were also kidnapped and taken from their families,
26:46never to be seen again, here just to service Gaddafi,
26:50ultimately until they matured and grew up and became men and were no longer of interest to Gaddafi.
26:58This is not something that just comes out of nowhere.
27:02That his bizarre sexual, sadistic, scary interest in sex were likely something that he had developed during puberty.
27:14And it was only when he was able to achieve the power that he did that he was actually able
27:22to design an entire world of sexual sadism around him.
27:28As he flouted his power and rumors of his private corruption and depravity began to spread,
27:35whispers of dissent grew louder.
27:39Assassination attempts followed.
27:41In the center of town we stopped and there, almost strolling along the main street, was Colonel Gaddafi.
27:47It was particularly unexpected since only yesterday there had been an attempt on his life.
27:53He projected a certain image onto the West and he came to believe that image.
28:01He projected an image of himself as the champion of third world nations, particularly in Africa.
28:09And he came to believe in that image, but he didn't realize nobody else believed it.
28:18Gaddafi was volatile and unpredictable and that scared the West.
28:25This is the moment Libya became a pariah state.
28:29On the 17th of April, 1984, a group of anti-Gaddafi protesters gathered outside the Libyan embassy in London.
28:36Shots were fired at the protesters from inside the embassy.
28:40Eleven were wounded and police constable Yvonne Fletcher, aged just 25, killed.
28:49Gaddafi, predictably, denied everything.
28:53No, no, our people there are innocent people.
28:58In the face of Western condemnation, Gaddafi doubled down as anti-West.
29:04Reagan is the biggest terrorist in the world.
29:07And upped his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
29:11Do you think that Libya has an important role to play in trying to get a Middle East peace settlement
29:17involving the Israelis?
29:19There is no possibility for peace.
29:25Because Israelis or Jews, they deny there is a people, which is a Palestinian people.
29:34Gaddafi showed a natural affinity with the Global Tyrants Club.
29:38Shaking hands, leveraging notoriety to further inflate his own.
29:44We know that he was a very ambitious man.
29:46We know that he wanted to create influence around the world.
29:48And he made that through money, through supporting terrorist networks, through supporting armed militias and so on.
29:56Gaddafi used his oil dollars to fund international terror groups, including the IRA.
30:03Britain would argue that you support organizations like the IRA.
30:09We believe the cause of Ireland is just cause.
30:17And we support this just cause.
30:20Support for IRA is just one tactic that he used to put pressure on the British government.
30:26This is when he was trying to portray himself as an anti-Western leader.
30:31This is when he started his propaganda and he started his narrative as an Arab leader
30:36and presenting himself as the potential Arab leader for the rest of the Arab world.
30:45But eventually Gaddafi's terrorist funding grew too much for Western governments.
30:51Words and threats to get him to desist were clearly not enough.
30:55The only deterrent he understood was direct military aggression.
31:00The evidence is now conclusive that the terrorist bombing of La Belle Discotheque
31:06was planned and executed under the direct orders of the Libyan regime.
31:15He counted on America to be passive.
31:18He counted wrong.
31:20Tripoli exploded with heavy anti-aircraft fire twice during the day.
31:26A night-time barrage the heaviest so far.
31:30The raid on Colonel Gaddafi's headquarters in Tripoli had blasted his home and family,
31:35killing an adopted daughter.
31:38Even with the loss of family, Gaddafi remained defiant.
31:44Leader Gaddafi, how has your country changed after the American attack?
32:10Leader Skeksman
32:11Leader Moac посмотрues at the 살찔 etrees.
32:17Leader Moac
32:17Leader Moac
32:18Leader Moac
32:19Gaddafi survives the Reagan bombing at the helm of a rogue state,
32:23but his world is about to come crashing down.
32:28This mad dog of the Middle East has a goal of a world revolution.
32:43Winter, 1988.
32:46Four days before Christmas, a full Pan Am Flight 103 explodes in midair over Lockerbie in Scotland.
32:57On all the hillsides surrounding Lockerbie, stretcher parties were at work.
33:01Firemen and rescue services have spent Christmas Eve working round the shattered cockpit of Flight 103,
33:06sifting through the wreckage.
33:08The crash site is declared a crime scene.
33:13259 victims, murdered by an act of terror.
33:20Less than a year later, a French passenger airliner is downed in central West Africa.
33:27170 people dead, including the wife of an American ambassador.
33:35Intelligence links both bombings to Libya.
33:39The international community imposes trade embargoes.
33:44Gaddafi is under pressure.
33:46At the UN, ambassadors are hopeful these limited sanctions will be enough to persuade Libya to hand over the two
33:53Lockerbie suspects and renounce support for terrorism.
33:56When it became clear that Gaddafi was little more than a mob leader, funding terrorism, especially in the wake of
34:03the Lockerbie disaster,
34:05when sanctions were brought against Libya, affecting the people that he was supposed to be leading, supposed to be helping,
34:12things started to unravel for him.
34:14His popularity started to wane.
34:19While his people suffer with the mounting sanctions, Gaddafi shoots family vacation videos.
34:28What his camera doesn't show is his pathological addiction to sex, requiring a supply of four or five young victims
34:37per day.
34:40And then you started hearing stories, horrible stories, about his exploitation of women, boys, using sex or using rape as
34:51a weapon by himself or the people that work with him.
34:56Gaddafi even began to use sex as an internal political weapon, a way of shoring up his personal power base.
35:04For Gaddafi, his ultimate sexual prize, the conquest that he was most proud of, were the wives and daughters of
35:15his comrades, of his peers.
35:18It was so exciting to him that he could dominate women from his own circle, while also dominating women that
35:29he really shouldn't have access to.
35:31But because he was so violent and powerful, he was even able to do that.
35:47As the shocking live images of 9-11 seared the world's retinas, Gaddafi saw the writing on the wall.
35:57The global war on terror escalated overnight, and the Libyan dictator chose this moment to change sides.
36:09In the wake of 9-11, when it was clear that there was going to be a global war on
36:14terror, Gaddafi tried to realign himself and this time to align himself with the West.
36:21So he wanted to then protect himself and protect his ruling, but tried to siding with the West and the
36:29U.S. once again, by saying that Libya will disarm its weapons of mass destruction.
36:35It's willing to take admission and to take responsibility of the Lockerbie attack in Scotland, and then to pay compensation
36:44for that.
36:45Now, after 30 years in power, and having utterly transformed himself from the anti-Western pan-Arab nationalist leader he
36:55had once positioned himself as,
36:57he was now willing to turn himself into a creature of the West, if it would help him stay in
37:05power.
37:06Tony Blair met Libya's Colonel Gaddafi, reopening trade links between the two countries.
37:13Who would have believed it? Libya and Britain, Gaddafi and Blair, shoulder to shoulder in the war on terror.
37:20But it was too late, he'd effectively burnt all of his bridges, nobody was going to support him, and effectively
37:27he'd just started to run out of friends.
37:31In his final years in power, Gaddafi's paranoia grew, as did his vanity and his sexual depravity.
37:41He had to force himself on women because he was no longer attractive, he was no longer young.
37:48So his sexual deviations became greater and greater.
37:54Gaddafi flew a cosmetic surgeon from Brazil to give him a facelift.
37:59He refused to be under the anaesthetic because, you know, he didn't want to be unconscious, and he suffered through
38:06the whole operation being fully conscious.
38:10And that shows you the level of trust he has of the loyalty of people around him.
38:15He thought they would kill him when he was unconscious.
38:20And as shadows grew longer over his dictatorial rule, his depravity grew ever darker.
38:27Gaddafi had bizarre sexual practices.
38:32He did horrific things to women.
38:36He actually had a torture chamber that was hidden away in a basement.
38:42And in this location, he would torture women.
38:47He would force them to watch him torture other people.
38:50The sexual violence was unthinkable.
38:56He even had a team of nurses on call to treat bite marks, fractures, and internal injuries suffered by his
39:04victims, to try and keep a lid on his appalling crimes.
39:09He gave no value at all to other people's lives.
39:15He didn't have any empathy for them.
39:19The tyrant was out of control.
39:25In 2010, popular uprisings began erupting across the Middle East and North Africa.
39:32Dubbed the Arab Spring, Gaddafi would not be spared.
39:36Colonel Gaddafi, it's your army deserting you.
39:40It's your army deserting you.
39:41Do you believe?
39:43I forgot your language.
39:46Ironically, it was Arab nationalism that brought him to power and the same forces that brought him down.
39:57With defeat inevitable, he tries desperately to reinvent himself once more as a firebrand Arab revolutionary.
40:18An audience encouraged to attend by Gaddafi's remaining loyalty.
40:26What made Gaddafi distinctive was that he started off as an Arab nationalist.
40:33And this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
40:35Arabs needed good leaders who would look after their people.
40:39But in the end, his megalomania overcame him.
40:44He got caught up by this idea of taking on the whole world rather than sticking to his own patch.
40:53And this led to his destruction.
40:55He's just another dictator who took it too far and got his just desserts.
41:04For his victims, his downfall and death in October 2011 released a complex raft of emotions.
41:15Fear.
41:16The chaotic savagery on their screens.
41:20A violence they were subjected to daily would spread and find them.
41:27Impotent rage.
41:29Their persecutor would escape trial for his heinous crimes.
41:34Above all, there was a shared sense of just vengeance.
41:40Because before the crush of the crowd.
41:44Before the brutal beating.
41:47Before the bullets.
41:51There was footage.
41:53Shared among the victims of Gaddafi's secret life of sexual abuse.
41:58Footage of the moment their brotherly leader was violently penetrated by a bayonet.
42:06The moment their rapist was raped.
42:11There is a gruesome irony to his ultimate end.
42:16In which his people overthrew him in a very violent and brutal way.
42:21He was sodomized with a bayonet.
42:25An ultimate way to show deference and to procure his own power away from him.
42:33By treating him as a sex object in a very violent and brutal way.
42:43Today, we are told that Gaddafi is dead.
42:48Today, Libya, Libya's future begins.
42:53Gaddafi, a black era, has come to an end forever.
43:01We've seen reports about women who were found just by the side of the road, raped and just dead.
43:08These could be some of his victims, but we don't know.
43:12Gaddafi seized power in order to overthrow tyranny.
43:17But he ended up becoming a tyrant himself.
43:20He projected an image as the champion of third world nations, particularly in Africa.
43:28And he came to believe in that image, but he didn't realize nobody else believed it.
43:36If ever there was a leader who had pride before the fall, it was Gaddafi.
43:40Gaddafi.
