Simfan, I fail to see what are you trying to prove by comparing Brazil in 1889 to Libya in 1969.

Pedro II was hugely popular and Brazil was at the peak of its fortunes. Didn't stop the ex-slave owners from overthrowing him. Likewise for Libya.

Implying Idris was as popular as Pedro II Roll Eyes

Back to the Future in Libya

A lot of the discussion in the piece seems to be fairly baseless claims on what Libyans think, for example that "the overwhelming majority of Libyans reject the restoration of the king" despite the fact that the entire article is about how people desire the re-adoption of the 1951 constitution. It is contradicted by the nature of the start rebellion itself, which involved crowds in Benghazi raising the Senussi flag, singing the Senussi anthem, and demanding the return of the Senussi constitution. Perhaps it is not so strongly supported outside Cyrenaica, that is possible, but within Cyrenaica there is at least widespread pro-Senussi sentiment.
