I am not 100% confident but isn't the following sentence misleading?
"Muammar Gaddafi remained in power until a US State Department-backed coup[11][12] in 2011 overthrew him."
The wording sugggests that the coup was, influenced, initated or suggested by the US State Department. While the US did ultimately back the coup against Gaddafi, it was Libyans who took up this fight to free themselves. If I am not mistaken, the US (specifically) only became involved after they were "criticized" for not acting. The specific nature of said criticism I do not recall.
I tried to make the intro a little better [1], especially as the header does not match the text. If there was only one kingdom with no successions I am hesitant to call it a kingdom. I think we should mention the form of government that Gaddafi implemented. I also could not find a source for the claim of expulsions from the country.Scientus (talk) 23:34, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
You have made these changes a number of times, and have been reverted a number of times by a number of editors. There is no consensus for your changes. Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:52, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
