Italy’s colonial grip left scars etched deep into the North African soil. Italy’s colonial atrocities in Libya, including mass murder, forced displacement, and the establishment of concentration camps, represent the systemic violence inflicted by European powers across Africa. Nonetheless, European colonialists also underestimated the strength and determination of their colonized subjects. In this episode of Stories of Resistance, Ilham guides us through Omar Mukhtar's story and the extraordinary courage of colonized peoples in the face of overwhelming oppression. Al-Mukhtar had been an inspiring anti-colonialism fighter even after his execution, as it fueled further resistance against Italian colonialism. Al-Mukhtar’s legacy continues to inspire liberation movements worldwide, it reminds us that in the face of oppression, resilience blooms and justice demands defiance.
