Libyan opposition soldiers waved The French flag
On March 17, 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, which decided to intervene militarily in Libya, which is mired in civil war. Impatient, France immediately dispatched its air force to carry out air strikes on Gaddafi's troops, and the United States and Britain followed suit by sending fighter jets to participate in the strike operation against Gaddafi's troops.
Moussa Ibrahim first appeared at a press conference in March 2011
Libyan opposition forces, supported by the air forces of the United States, Britain and France, have made rapid progress, while Gaddafi's armed forces have been gradually defeated. Moussa Ibrahim, the information minister and government spokesman for the Qaddafi regime, has seen a surge in appearances and once stole the limelight from the Libyan opposition, becoming the leading figure in international politics in 2011.
Musa Ibrahim
Born on December 7, 1974 in the western Libyan city of Sirte, Moussa Ibrahim was a fellow countryman of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and belonging to the Gaddafa tribe. His superior tribal status benefited Ibrahim and brought him closer to Gaddafi. He has 15 years of study and life experience in the UK, and his rich experience is easier to find a job in the government than the average person. Moussa Ibrahim's family is in excellent condition, and according to the memories of British friends who visited Ibrahim's hometown, the Ibrahim family owned the property rights of an entire commercial street in the local area.
Defector of Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Qusa
At the end of March 2011, Moussa Ibrahim was appointed Libya's press minister and government spokesman. As soon as Ibrahim took office, he encountered a situation in which senior officials of the Qaddafi regime scrambled to defect from the country. On March 30, the gaddafi regime's foreign minister, Moussa Cuza, falsely claimed to be going to neighboring Tunisia for medical treatment, but after his vehicle crossed the border, he headed straight for The Djerba-Chalis airport in Tunisia, where he flew by plane to the southern British city of Farnborough.
Musa Ibrahim held a press conference
At a press conference held by gaddafi's government on March 31, Ibrahim told the media: "If someone is tired and wants to rest, let him go." Ibrahim added: "This is the struggle of the whole country, not dependent on any individual, no matter how high his position is." "Gaddafi and his family are in Libya and decided to hold out until the end." However, on the evening of March 31, gunshots rang out from high-end residential areas in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, a force used by the Qaddafi authorities to prevent other senior officials from defecting, and media reports said that Qaddafi's army stopped a number of senior regime officials who tried to flee with their families that night.
A number of senior officials of the Gaddafi regime defected one after another
As the rebels attacked the city all the way, many senior officials of the Qaddafi regime could no longer sit still, and a large number of senior officials such as Libyan Minister of Justice Jalil, Speaker Mohammed Abdul, And Minister of Intelligence Oil and other senior officials also went to the unknown, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Gaddafi, the Qaddafi regime has lost control of government officials, and Ibrahim alone is still loyal to Gaddafi. When a reporter asked, "I heard that Gaddafi has retreated to Sirte." Ibrahim retorted: "This is nonsense, leader Gaddafi is leading Libya every day!" ”
Ibrahim held a press conference at the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli
As with the isolation of Iraqi Information Minister Sahaf, Ibrahim has been alone in the face of foreign journalists. Since the beginning of the Libyan civil war, especially with the involvement of Western militaries, Qaddafi's army has been at a disadvantage and has been losing. After each round of strikes by NATO forces against Libyan targets, only Ibrahim would make public appearances, hold press conferences to announce casualties and property damage, and lash out at the banditry of the United States, Britain and France.

Ibrahim also summoned dozens of foreign journalists to Mizda, a small city about 180 kilometers south of the Libyan capital Tripoli, to cover war refugees. At Mizda Hospital, Libyan officials said it had been hit by Western military airstrikes that had killed or injured a large number of civilians. Officials also showed reporters the wreckage of the bomb, but some reporters recognized it at first glance as the casing of a Katyusha rocket from the former Soviet Union.
Sarkozy welcomed the visiting Gaddafi at the French Presidential Palace in 2007
By early May, then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy had summoned some defective officials of Gaddafi's regime to put pressure on Himaddafi. At the opposition's National Tribal Congress, more than 800 Libyan tribes announced their support for the Libyan opposition and demanded that Qaddafi step down. Ibrahim scoffed at this, saying that "Gaddafi will not step down and will not abandon the revolution!" The final victory belonged to the leader, Gaddafi. ”

Since then, Western warplanes have frequently launched air strikes on Gaddafi's residence in the Azia barracks in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, and rumors of Qaddafi being injured and fleeing the capital have not been widely rumored. Ibrahim denied this statement to foreign media at the first time, calling it "nonsense" and stressing that "the leader is highly motivated and energetic every day."

By July, the situation had completely turned to the Libyan opposition. At the press conference, Ibrahim broadcast to foreign journalists what was supposedly a recording of Gaddafi, who demanded that NATO immediately stop its airstrikes on Libya or the Libyan army would launch a "locust and bee-like attack" on the Mediterranean and Europe. Ibrahim said NATO would be defeated and the opposition would be plunged into a sea of people's war.
Libyan opposition forces marched to the capital, Tripoli
On August 20, Libyan opposition forces were on the outskirts of the capital, Tripoli. As the war situation continued to deteriorate, Ibrahim's speech became more rational, but still said that "Gaddafi will fight until the last moment in the capital, our defenses are impregnable, and thousands of people will defend tripoli!" The leader is actually leading Libya's fight for freedom and independence on a daily basis." However, when asked where Gaddafi was, Ibrahim responded that "Qaddafi is directing the fighting at a secret location in Libya." ”
Ibrahim and his team left behind television broadcast equipment at the Rixos Hotel
On August 22, Ibrahim appeared in public for the last time before foreign journalists. At a press conference at the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli, Ibrahim called for an immediate halt to the fighting for the safety of the people in the capital. The rebels were less than four or five hundred meters away from the RIXOS hotel, and before the rebel militants captured the hotel, Ibrahim followed a large number of government officials to evacuate the Rixos hotel and never appeared in public again.

However, after the opposition completely occupied the capital Tripoli, Ibrahim and his leader, Qaddafi, long gone. In fact, Gaddafi had already run to his hometown of Sirte with his cronies. Instead of following the leader Gaddafi in Sirte after the capital fell, Ibrahim fled to Egypt, where he also spread several fake news of his arrest by the new Libyan government in the early days of his flight. After a few years in Egypt, Ibrahim fled to Serbia, an Eastern European country, to live temporarily.
Ibrahim emphasized the glory of Qaddafi's leadership in Libya and expressed his longing for the leader
On October 5, 2019, Ibrahim was interviewed by Russian media and reappeared in the public eye after 8 years, in which Ibrahim expressed his longing for leader Gaddafi and hatred for Western countries. Now, with the connections accumulated from long-term study and life in the UK, Ibrahim's family has moved to the UK and worked in a British company, living a happy life of wife and children.
