Abstract
The article examines one of the major Arab Spring events in Libya: the overthrow and death of Muammar Gaddafi on October 20, 2011, and describes its historical and political meaning, ramifications and present-day consequences. Briefly analyzing the two Libyan revolutions of 1969 and 2011, it underlines some of the peculiarities of the recent military conflict between the armed opposition and the former government. Focusing on such aspects as the role of the former regime’s Army, involvement of NATO as the “third party”, and Al-Qaeda’s presence among the anti-Gaddafi rebels, the paper draws parallels between the situation in Libya and Iraq, suggesting that there are significant similarities between the two evolving historical scenarios.
