Timeline

1940

Mohammed Yousef el-Magariaf (also written as Magariaf, Elmegaryaf or Almegaryaf) or, as he writes on his official website, Dr. Mohamed Yusuf Al Magariaf (محمد يوسف المقريف; born 1940), is a Libyan politician who served as the President of the General National Congress from its first meeting in August 2012 until his resignation in May 2013.

1972

He served from 1972 to 1977 as head of the board of auditors at the Libyan Arab Republic's Revenue Court, where he proved uncomfortable for the regime because of his anti-corruption stance and was subsequently designated Libya's Ambassador to India.

1980

After being recalled to Libya in 1980, he announced his defection in Morocco due to his certainty that he would be purged on return.

He survived at least three assassination attempts.

1981

The NFSL was founded in 1981, as the first opposition group pushing for democratic reforms in Libya.

The NFSL called for a democratic government with constitutional guarantees, free and fair elections, free press, separation of powers, non-discriminatory rule of law, gender equality, multi-partyism, sustainable development, and a realistic democratic road-map that benefits from Libyan, Arab and Islamic traditions as well as democratic learning from Nelson Mandela's democratisation experience from South Africa, amongst others.

At the onset of the Libyan Civil War, Magariaf remained active in engaging with his political contacts, in an effort to gain international support for himself and the Libyan people.

1984

On 8 May 1984, el-Magariaf directed commandos from the National Front for the Salvation of Libya led by Ahmed Ibrahim Ihwas in an attempt to assassinate Muammar Gaddafi, via an attack on Gaddafi's headquarters.

The attack failed.

Al-Magariaf, the "National Front for the Salvation of Libya" broadcast opposition propaganda into Libya.

Magariaf dedicated himself to overthrowing the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya with violence.

In response, Gaddafi later targeted Al-Magariaf.

1989

Subsequent to the founding of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, el-Magariaf is one of few people who knew he was targeted by Gaddafi's bombing of UTA Flight 772 in 1989.

2011

After the 2011 civil war, Magariaf returned to Libya from the United States, where he had spent most of his 30 years in exile.

2012

Magariaf is the leader of the National Front Party, which won three seats in the 2012 election, and he was previously well known for having founded and been the first leader of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi.

A resident of Benghazi, he studied Economics at the University of Benghazi.

He is now the leader of National Front Party, the formal successor of the NFSL which was dissolved on 9 May 2012, after the National Transitional Council seized power.

Magariaf is Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

During the Libyan Congressional election of 2012, Magariaf was elected congressman, within the National Front Party.

Magariaf was elected President of the General National Congress (GNC) on 9 August 2012.

He received 113 votes in Congress against 85 votes for his independent rival, Ali Zeidan who went on to become Prime Minister in November.

Magariaf is reported to have good relations with the Muslim Brotherhood, yet is perceived as a moderate pragmatist who led one of the most liberal parties in the 2012 election.

His agenda is to focus on the Libyan economy.

2013

In this role he was effectively Libya's de facto head of state, until his resignation in May 2013.

After serving as President for 9 months he resigned in May 2013 in anticipation of the political isolation law which was passed, barring him from office due to his previous role as an ambassador under the Gaddafi regime.

Magariaf survived an attempt on his life in the southwestern Libyan town of Sabha on 4 January 2013.

He had been visiting the town with a GNC delegation as part of a fact-finding mission aimed at helping the government restore security and crack down on smuggling operations in the south of the country.

Magarief told reporters that his hotel was attacked by gunmen, triggering a three-hour gun battle with his personal bodyguards in which three of them were injured.

Magarief escaped the incident unharmed.
