Country in North Africa ruled by Muammar Gaddafi from 1969-2011 (5)

I believe the answer is:

libya

(Other definitions for libya that I've seen before include "North African republic" , "North African nation" , "Where Idris was king" , "North African country" , "Colonel Gadaffi's country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
