Colonel Maummar Gaddafi is gone to the next world and perhaps Libya may never see another like him. Yes! He was a despot, but then one can’t overlook the good he did. Most important he held the hard line Islamic groups like Al Qaeda under his boots. They tried to kill him at least 5/6 times, once with the aid of the British Intelligence, but failed. Gaddafi hanged quite a few of them.
Gaddafi struck a blow for women’s lib by recruiting retinue of women guards, who handled automatics with ease. They were chic looking and wore lipstick and make up and did everything that the hard line Muslim clerics found distasteful. Give Gadaffi credit for that.
But where there are beautiful girls there will be sex and that is one commodity that cannot be caged. So it stands to reason that this Amazon brigade were certainly sex symbols and pandered to the taste of Gaddafi. Nothing wrong with that, for he gave them food, shelter, clothing and cash and they joined of their own free will. In fact I understand that there was quite a rush to be a body guard of Gaddafi.
The women were all virgins when recruited, whether they continued in that state is a moot point. It is now known that quite a few of them slept with Gaddafi in his ornate bed. It must have been like a fantasy from the past as the girls beautiful and chic slept with the omnipotent lord on a giant bed in a magnificent bedroom in the nude two at a time by rotation, while another two stood guard near the bed.
He also trained quite a few as executioners and one named Nisreen has just been captured. She had executed 11 or 12 of the revolutionary guards. That was the staple diet of these women Amazon guards who also accompanied Gadaffi on his visits abroad. It was quite a sight with the foreign rulers eyeing the bevy of beautiful women with Gadaffi. It was certainly a sight for sore eyes.
Well friends Gaddafi is gone and so are his women guards, but the memory of the young girls holding rifles and looking chic won’t fade for sometime to come.
