Omar Almoktar

Mahnoush asked me to write on Omar Almokhtar as she likes and admires Omar Almoktar also. So, Iwould like to write these information on him. Amoktar is a symbol of Libya. He is a heroism, bravery and nationalism. He was born in 1850, in a small city called (Solouk), in the East of Libya. He struggled for a long time against the invader, Italy. Libya was occupied by fascist Italy beginning of 1911. Also, he kept to educate and teach younger the Holy Qurran despite the banning learning according to the invader policy. He did not accept that Libya's land remains under the foreigner's control. So, he announced and began his war to free the land when he was 60 years old. Moreover, he faced the hanging death penalty with steady brave after being captured. He had resisted the occupier for 20 years. He did not accept to sell the country with a lot of money or with an important job offered to him. He sold his own soul and family for the country to give approved example of the self-sacrifice for the independence of his country. by the way the movie has been done by Libyan government on Omar Almoktar as he a remarkable idividual. Name of the film is The Lion of Desert. The casts were Antony Queen for Almoktar role and Oliver Red for Grazziani (Italian Commander in Libya).
