🟩 Ahmed Shawky - Elegy for Omar al-Mukhtar [fragment] (Al-Jamahiriya TV Libyan channel, 30.V.2019)

Omar al-Mukhtar Muhammad bin Farhat al-Manifi (1858–1931), called "The Lion of the Desert", was a Libyan revolutionary and Imam who led the native resistance in Eastern Libya under the Senussids, against the Italian colonization of Libya. A teacher-turned-general, Omar was a prominent figure of the Senussi movement and is considered the national hero of Libya and a symbol of resistance in the Arab and Islamic worlds. Beginning in 1911, he organised and led the Libyan resistance movement against the Italian colonial empire during the First and Second Italo-Senussi Wars. Externally, he also fought against the French colonization of Chad and the British occupation of Egypt. Al-Mukhtar’s historic character has crossed the Libyan boundaries and the Cyrenaican leader became instrumental not only in the history of modern Libya, but contributed to the formation of different forms of Arab nationalism during their struggle against colonialism. After many attempts, the Italian Armed Forces managed to capture Al-Mukhtar when he was wounded in battle by Libyan colonial troops, and hanged him on 16.IX.1931 in a concentration camp after he refused to surrender. His execution prompted the famous Egyptian poet (also linguist, playwright and translator), one of the most famous Arabic literary writers of the modern era in the Arab World, the “Emir of Poets” Ahmed Shawqi (1868-1932), to write an elegy in his honor, written not long before Shawqi himself passed away in Cairo. The declamation of poem was broadcasted on al-Jamahiriya TV Lybian (former state BC of Lybian Jamahiriya) channel, on 30.V.2019. *** #lybian #lybia #gaddafi #jamahiriya #egyptian #egypt #arabism #panarabism #historical #hero #nationalhero #anticolonialism #culture #poem #elegy #poetry #television #archive #tvrecord #tv #footage #broadcast #arabic #1990s #2000s #2010s #2019
