 Libya is a country in North Africa, with an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometers (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa by area the population is 6.5 million people.
During his 42 years in power, Muammar Gaddafi ruled with an iron fist, stifling individual freedoms and any form of political dissent.
So longer there is a political Problem  Libyan  have a good life,  good infer structure and economic stability. Economy of Libya

But  Libya  authorities restricted same rights to freedom of expression, hundred of prisoners continued to be arbitrarily detained on security grounds at least 18 executions’ were reported.
The country lacked an independent civil society, a free press or political parties.

Women’s rights

The law continued to discriminate against women, notably in relation to marriage, divorce and inheritance, and polygamy remained allowed for men.

In January, a new nationality law was adopted to permit Libyan women married to foreign spouses the right to pass on Libyan nationality to their children on a similar basis as permitted for Libyan men married to foreign spouses.

Discrimination – members of the Tabu community

Members of the Tabu community in south-eastern Libya faced discriminatory measures. The authorities refused to renew or issue passports, birth certificates and other identification documents, and schools in Kufra municipality refused to enrol some Tabu students.

Forced evictions of members of the Tabu community continued in Kufra until early April; families told Amnesty International that those evicted were neither consulted about the evictions nor provided with alternative housing

Death penalty

At least 18 prisoners, possibly more, were reported to have been executed, many of them foreign nationals. In May, a newspaper close to Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi reported that over 200 people were on death row.

In December, Libya was one of the minority of states that voted against the UN General Assembly resolution calling for a moratorium on the death penalty.  

On 1 September 1969, a small group of military officers led by the 27 year old army officer Muammar Gaddafi staged a against King Idris, launching the Libyan Revolution .
Gaddafi is Dead without fair trial but we can remember him as among  a king of Africa

Nobel peace prize: professor Wangari Maathai

WANGARI MUTA MAATHAI.

By Mussa Juma, Dar es Salaam.

PROFESSOR  Wangari Muta Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya  in 1940 and her passing away on 25th September, 2011, at the Nairobi Hospital.

According to the, wikipedia and Green Belt Movement website ,this was the  first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate degree, Professor Maathai obtained a degree in Biological Sciences from Mount St. Scholastica College in Atchison, Kansas (1964).

She subsequently earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh (1966). Professor Maathai pursued doctoral studies in Germany and the University of Nairobi, obtaining a Ph.D. (1971) from the University of Nairobi where she also taught veterinary anatomy.

Professor Maathai was active in the National Council of Women of Kenya in 1976-87 and was its chairman from 1981-87.

Maathai has assisted  in planting more than 40 million trees on community lands

In 1986 the Green Belt Movement (GBM) established a Pan African Green Belt Network that has exposed many leaders of other African countries to its unique approach.

Some of these individuals have established similar tree planting initiatives in their own countries using the methods taught to improve their efforts.

Countries that have successfully launched such initiatives in Africa include Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and others.

In September 1998, Professor Maathai became co-chair of the Jubilee 2000 Africa Campaign, which seeks debt cancellation for African countries.

Her campaign against land grabbing and rapacious allocation of forest lands has gained international attention in recent years.

Professor Maathai is internationally recognized for her persistent struggle for democracy, human rights and environmental conservation.

She has addressed the UN on several occasions and spoke on behalf of women at special sessions of the General Assembly during the five-year review of the Earth Summit.

She served on the commission for Global Governance and the Commission on the Future.

 She and the Green Belt Movement have received numerous awards

                    Winning the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize.

On 8 October 2004, Maathai received a call from Ole Danbolt Mjos, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, informing her that she was the recipient of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy and peace
She became the first African woman, and the first environmentalist, to win the prize.

Since winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai had become a spokesperson for a number of important initiatives.

Both before and since she won the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai spoke about, and was interviewed on, a range of subjects.

                        Wangari Passing  away

Family of Professor Wangari Maathai announces her passing away on 25th September, 2011, at the Nairobi Hospital, after a prolonged and bravely borne struggle with cancer. Her loved ones were with her at the time.

Professor Maathai's departure is untimely and a very great loss to all who knew her - as a mother, relative, co-worker, colleague, role model, and heroine; or who admired her determination to make the world a more peaceful, healthier, and better place

Professor Maathai Wangari we will truly miss her

There is difference definition about Investigative Journalism,

Invetigative Journalism Manual said:

We can define investigative journalism as:

• An original, proactive process that digs deeply into an issue or topic of public interest
• Producing new information or putting known information together to produce new insights
• Multi-sourced, using more resources and demanding team-working and time
• Revealing secrets or uncovering issues surrounded by silence
• Looking beyond individuals at fault to the systems and processes that allow abuses to happen
• Bearing witness, and investigating ideas as well as facts and events
• Providing nuanced context and explaining not only what, but why
• Not always about bad news, and not necessarily requiring undercover techniques – though it often is, and sometimes doe
