jamahiriya

Definitions

• A state model conceived and propagated by Muammar Gaddafi, characterized as a 'state of the masses' and governed by the direct participation of the citizens.
  In the land of the endless desert, where the sun kisses the sands, a chorus of voices rose as one, weaving the tapestry of governance, a dream of the people echoed in Gaddafi’s vision.
  Example: The Libyan Jamahiriya was declared by Gaddafi as a new form of governance devoid of traditional government structures.
