Another bookburner:

In 1973, Gaddafi declared a “Cultural Revolution” in which any publications deemed contrary to the principles espoused in his Green Book, including books mentioning the Amazigh, were destroyed. By ridding the nation of these books and replacing them with his own narrative, Gaddafi sought finally to erase Berber heritage from Libya’s part, present, and future. Under the guise of the Cultural Revolution, Libya’s first Amazigh association was disbanded and its members arrested for the creation of what was perceived as a political party. Since then, Gaddafi has continued to prohibit Amazigh cultural activities and associations in Libya.
