When Jalloud talks about a good memory he calls Gaddafi "Brother Muammar" but when he's talking about a time he didn't like what Gaddafi did he calls him "The Tyrant."
It was late and I was very sleepy reading this and for some reason I had this mental image about being Gaddafi's wife and being like "aww, Brother Muammar made breakfast for everyone" and then walking in the bedroom like "Dammit! That Tyrant left his dirty socks on the floor again!"
There's a common pithy saying in Libya after the civil war, whenever people are suffering scarcity, conflict or something politically fucked up happened they say "well, at least the tyrant is dead" in a tone of deep irony and regret
