Mahmoud Jibril, the prime minister of Libya’s de facto National Transitional Council for a period during the civil uprising that ousted Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi during the 2011 revolution, died on Sunday after contracting the novel coronavirus, an aide and his party said.
The 68-year old Jibril was referred to a hospital in the Egyptian capital Cairo on March 27 after testing positive for COVID-19. He died in a private hospital in Cairo where he had been receiving treatment since being diagnosed with the virus late last month, said Fawzi Ammar, an aide.
Jibril was interim leader until the country held its first free elections in four decades in 2012.
