Libya: Funeral of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the Second Son of the Late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi

Libya had never witnessed such an impressive funeral for a member of the Gaddafi family since 2011.

In Bani Walid, a historic stronghold of loyalists, thousands of supporters flooded the streets this Friday, February 6, 2026, to accompany Saif al-Islam to his final resting place.

What should have been a simple burial turned into a popular referendum.

As a reminder: Saif al-Islam, the second son of Marshal Gaddafi, was assassinated by four unknown commandos.
