A haunting final message attributed to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the recently murdered son of Libya’s former strongman Muammar Gaddafi, has sent ripples across Africa and the Middle East, reviving memories of a fallen dynasty and an unfinished political struggle.
Speaking in an emotional revelation, Saif al-Islam’s wife said her husband appeared to foresee his fate just two nights before his death. According to her, he warned that the same forces that brought down his father were closing in on him.
“He told me his time had come,” she recounted. “He said it was painful that the world might never know the truth, because darkness now prevails over light.”
In the deeply personal account, she quoted her husband as expressing faith and defiance even in the face of death, saying that their absence would not mark the end of the Gaddafi legacy.
“Our absence will give rise to more Gaddafis across Africa,” he reportedly said. “When the sun sets, Africa shall rise to its glory.”
The words have since resonated widely, stirring debate over Libya’s unresolved conflicts, the enduring influence of the Gaddafi name, and Africa’s long quest for sovereignty and self-determination.
As investigations into the killing continue, the final message has taken on a symbolic weight—casting Saif al-Islam not just as a victim of political violence, but as a figure whose last words may echo far beyond Libya’s borders.
