The four decades of Libyan rule by Moammar Gaddafi that started in 1969 with a 27 year old Bedouin officer in the Libyan army ousting King Idris. It led to change in Libya in the first decade but deteriorated in the next three decades. Libya's support of terrorist groups and plane bombings of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, and other actions, led to a UN embargo of Libya. The rule of Gaddafi in Libya, as of Mubarak in Egypt led to economic stagnation and suppression of civil liberties, followed by repression, which delayed the development of the Arab countries for several decades. The move from a monarchy to the rule by military officers turned out to be a disaster for the Arab world over these four decades.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
