Gadaffi son returns to politics after five years in captivity
MURDERED Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi’s son is set to return to politics, just months after his release from captivity.
Saif al-Islam Gadaffi has been meeting politicians and tribal leaders in a bid to reunite the North African country divided between rival governments and factions since the 2011 Nato-led coup, his lawyer Khalid al-Zaidi told Russia’s Sputnik news in an interview published on Wednesday.
The Government of National Accord — installed by the United Nations in 2015 — nominally rules from the capital Tripoli, but it relies on the formerly Western-backed National Salvation Government’s Libya Shield coalition of insurgent groups from 2011 to enforce its will.
