On March 2, 1977, Qadhafi convened a General People's Congress (GPC) to proclaim the establishment of "people's power," change the country's name to the
Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and to vest, theoretically, primary authority in the GPC.
SALALAH: His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said has received a written message from President Muammar Gaddafi, Leader of Al Fatih of September Revolution in the Great
Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, inviting His Majesty the Sultan to attend the exceptional Arab Summit and the Arab-African Summit scheduled to be held in the Libyan city of Sirt during this month.
But although there are plenty of billboards proclaiming Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi's great achievements of the last 40 years and his vision for the future of the Great
Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, there was no evidence of epic Castro-like speeches on state TV.
Muammar Gaddafi, head of State of the Great
Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, to HM King Mohammed VI to take part in the upcoming Arab summit scheduled in Libya.
And it is no coincidence for this aspect of the practice of the Libyan ruling regime to increase exponentially with the proclamation of "the Great
Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" in 1977, in which the people would exercise "direct power", political parties and political work would be forbidden, and "popular councils" would be established.
