The report on Saif al-Islam’s contacts with Russia is part of a larger narrative about Russia’s role in the conflict-torn country, which was disintegrated after the NATO-backed uprising overthrew Gaddafi in 2011.

After the assassination of his powerful father, Saif al-Islam spent years as a prisoner of militias in the western Libyan city of Zintan. Gaddafi’s heir has long declared his intention to run for Libyan presidency.

The restoration of Gaddafi family rule can be interesting for all those who are willing to return the vanished treasures of Colonel Gaddafi to Libyan people, and restore the interrupted contracts with multiple foreign companies.

However the re-establishing of Saif al-Islam on political scene would meet opposition of both incumbent leaders in Tripoli and Benghazi, who became opponents of the Colonel, and according to his family “betrayed” him in an attempt of power grab.

It would also re-open the requests of the investigation of the circumstances of the backed by the West coup d’état in 2011, and reasons behind Colonel Gaddafi lynching.

“The death of Muammar Gaddafi, on 20th October 2011 in Syriais one of the questions to should be clarified. There are serious suspicions about it being a war crime“, said Luis Moreno-Campo  the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague one month after the incident. The investigation of the circumstances of Gaddafi death was never carried out, on contrary it was “blessed’ by Hillary Clinton, the US State Secretary, who openly cheered when receiving the news.

Gaddafi‘s death closes a very unfortunate chapter in Libya‘s history‘, Hillary Clinton said, however life showed contrary, the overwhelming majority of Libyans refer to Gaddafi rule as ‘Golden Age’.

After the coup d’état till present Libya is considered as a failed state caught in turmoil of a ongoing conflict, a play ground of international terrorist groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Nushrah and many others.
