War with Anwar Sadat of Egypt
This 1977 war was a short border conflict that was spurred by a myriad of factors, including a personal dislike for Gaddafi by Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat. But the feeling was mutual because although Gaddafi loved Sadat’s predecessor, Gamel Abdel Nasser, he hated Sadat.
The truth was Sadat was a man more open to the traditional enemies of thee Arab and Islamic world, namely Israel and the west. As a result of these factors, Gaddafi escalated a border dispute into a full blown conflict that thankfully lasted for only four days.
