π½οΈπ« “No Soup for You!” – Gadhafi’s Offspring Pulls a Hunger Games in Lebanese Lockup π
TL;DR; π
Playing the hunger game, Hannibal Gadhafi, the son of late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, has put a halt to his munchies, launching a hunger strike in Lebanon. Why? π€ Because he’s been chilling in a Beirut slammer without trial since 2015.

π° News Story ποΈ
Brace yourself folks! If you thought your lockdown diet was bad, spare a thought for Hannibal Gadhafi. Son of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, Hannibal is going the whole nine yards, kicking off a hunger strike in a Lebanese jail. His beef? Well, he’s been collecting dust in this pokey for more than seven years sans trial.
To give you some context π°οΈ, back in 2015, our main man Hannibal was snatched from Syria, where he was living the life of a political refugee. His captors? Lebanese militants hungry for some tea β on a Shiite cleric, Moussa al-Sadr, who’d vanished in Libya like a fart in the wind 45 years ago. Ever since, Gadhafi has been enjoying the hospitality of a Beirut jail, no trial, no charges, nada. π³οΈ
In a dramatic plot twist π, attorney Paul Romanos, Gadhafi’s legal eagle, relayed that his client has ditched breakfast, lunch, and dinner since Saturday morning and won’t be tucking into a juicy steak anytime soon. Romanos, however, kept his lips sealed about the deets of the case. π€«
Now, you might be wondering why Hannibal is flipping the bird π at his daily bread. Well, in a statement, Gadhafi pulls no punches, asking, “How can a political prisoner be held without a fair trial all these years?” Solid point, right? π But hey, he’s not just playing the victim card. He’s getting feisty, warning, “those who are treating me unjustly will be responsible for the results,” and adding that it’s high time to snatch the law from the clutches of politicians.
Romanos even drops a bomb π£, claiming that Hannibal has been dealing with back pain from living in his ‘cozy’ cell all these years, with no room to stretch those legs or do a single burpee.
Now, let’s talk about this vanished cleric, Moussa al-Sadr π΅οΈ. Born in Iran, al-Sadr came to Lebanon in 1959 and founded a political and military group. He disappeared in 1978, leaving behind a mystery that even Sherlock couldn’t crack. Many believe Gadhafi senior was behind al-Sadr’s disappearance, stirring up quite a storm. πͺοΈ
Despite all this, even after Moammar Gadhafi’s death in 2011 and a new Libyan government, the question remains – where on earth is al-Sadr? π And why is Hannibal being left to twiddle his thumbs in a Lebanese cell with no trial?
Now we’ve laid it all out, it’s up to you to chew it over. Is Hannibal’s hunger strike a call for justice, or a desperate bid for freedom? And hey, while we’re on the subject, is it time to liberate the law from the hands of politicians as G
