Ayesha was dubbed in the Arab press as the "Claudia Schiffer of North Africa," because of her dyed hair. In 2006 she married Ahmed al-Gaddafi al-Qahsi, a cousin of her father's and an army colonel. Her husband was reportedly killed in the 26 July bombing of Gaddafi’s compound. They had three children prior to the fall of the regime, two of whom were allegedly killed along with their father during the bombing by the French Air Force. Algerian authorities confirmed that she gave birth to her fourth child, a baby girl, on 30 August 2011, shortly after arriving there after fleeing Libya with other members of the Gaddafi family.

“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“In the two centuries that have passed since 1776, millions upon millions of Americans have worked and taken up arms, when necessary, to make [the American] dream a reality.
