Meet Queen Fatimah of Libya

For the first time since a very long time Queen Fatimah of Libya , the last living Queen of the Senussi dynasty was the subject of an Arabic newspaper report  .
I understand why the Saudi-owned Pan-Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat made a report about the 91 years old Queen in exile in the same Qaddafi was celebrating the 40 anniversary of his so-called revolution which is a military coup to be accurate.
Queen Fatimah has been living in exile in Cairo since the revolution in 1969.
Currently, the former Queen is in hospital.
Hopefully, she will get well. I wish time will come and she will see the day her country without Al-Qaddafi.
The former Queen has won recently a lawsuit against the State in Libya to restore her old palace in some Libyan city , I do not know if it were Benghazi or Tripoli but I know that currently this palace is the new HQ of the British Embassy in Libya if I were not mistaken.
Here was Queen Fatimah of Libya  several years ago along with her late husband King Idris's advisor in the Holy land.

The Sanussi Royal family has been always accused of being Pro-Western and Pro-American.Still, time proved that Qaddafi is not that better if it were not worse than them.

  1. Qaddafi has been bad for his counrty, but the monarchy was even worse, they were nothing more than western puppets. Neithet Qaddafi nor the Queen deserve any sympathy. It is the people who have suffered from their rule who deserve sympathy.

  2. The monarchy did not stay as long as Qaddafi and did not jail and kill its opponents in the same way Qaddafi does !!
