The agency report said that after 42 years of the rule of Muammar Gaddafi, a revolution began on February 17, 2011 in the context of the so-called Arab Spring, to end in October of the same year with the killing of the Libyan leader in the city of Sirte. The report added that the ouster of Gaddafi led to the dispersal of his family, which played important roles during his rule. His three sons, Mutassim, Saif al-Arab and Khamis, were killed during the conflict.

The report adds that Muhammad, the only son from Muammar Gaddafi's first marriage, sought refuge in Algeria in 2011, before obtaining asylum in the Sultanate of Oman alongside his sister Aisha, while the son Hannibal also sought refuge in Algeria before going to Lebanon to join his wife, which is A Lebanese model, was arrested in Lebanon in 2015 and is still imprisoned there. As for his wife, media reports stated that she sought refuge in Syria.

As for the fate of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, it remains mysterious until the moment, when he was long considered a successor to his father. An armed group in the city of Zintan (southwest of Tripoli) arrested him in November 2011 and sentenced him to death in a short trial, but the armed group refused to hand him over to the Tripoli authorities or the International Criminal Court, which accuses him of committing crimes against humanity during the revolution. Gaddafi's son disappeared, after the group holding him announced his release in June 2017, and the International Criminal Court said at the end of 2019 that he was still in Zintan. 

As for Saadi Gaddafi, who is a former footballer who sought refuge after the revolution in Niger, which deported him in 2014 to Libya, where he is still imprisoned. Gaddafi's second wife, Safia, also sought refuge in the Sultanate of Oman, and had asked several times to return to her country, but her calls remained unanswered despite the influence of her tribe in eastern Libya. The agency noted in its report that the Qadhadfa tribe extends its presence between Sirte and the southwest of the country.
