Black Agenda Radio · The Assassination of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Conditions in Libya

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Libya's assassinated president Muammar Gaddafi, was himself assassinated on February 3, 2026. What does his death tell us about Libya today? We are joined by Essam Elkorghli, a Black Agenda Report contributor and a Libyan PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He provides analysis on the aftermath of the 2011 US/NATO attack on the Libyan state.
