Lion of The Desert










On 16 September 1931 the Italians hanged our great Libyan fighter [Mojahid] Omar Al-Mokhtar. Omar al-Mokhtar is considered the great symbol for the Libyan resistance (Jihad) against the Italian occupation. In 1922 Omar Al-Mokhtar reorganized the Mojahideen and re-ignited the resistance against Italy after World War I when the Italians thought that they  succeeded in silencing the Libyan resistance. Omar Al-Mokhtar, was ill couple of times and many of his comrades asked him to retire and leave the country, he was 80 years old. But he refused and kept fighting and he deserved a name given to him as "The Lion of the Desert." On 16 September, 1931 the Italians hanged Omar Al-Mokhtar in the city of Solouq and they forced the Libyans to watch their hero been hanged. No consideration to Omar Al-Mokhtar's old age, no consideration to international law and no consideration to world war treaties.


The new Libyan revolution ,which started on 17 of February, has taken its power from the great leader Omar Al-mokhtar .We took our power from Omar Al-mokhtar's saying: 
We will not surrender...... We Win or We Die
