Ayesha Gaddafi (or Aisha, Arabic: عائشة القذافي, born December 25, 1976), also known as Aicha Al-Kadhafi, is a former Libyan mediator and military official, former UN Goodwill Ambassador, and lawyer by profession. She is the fifth child and only daughter of former Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi by his second wife Safia Farkash.
She is currently under a travel ban and has been stripped of her titles working with the UN.
She trained with the Libyan military, earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
In 2000 after sanctions were imposed on Iraq, she arrived in Baghdad with a delegation of 69 officials. Shortly before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, she met with Saddam Hussein. In 2011, she strongly denounced the policies of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. President Barack Obama, calling for a mediation of the Libyan Civil War through an international organization which would exclude them.
Ayesha has served as a mediator on behalf of the government with European Union corporations.
Ayesha Gaddafi was appointed as the United Nations Development Program National Goodwill Ambassador for Libya on 24 July 2009, primarily to address the issues of HIV/AIDS, poverty and women's rights in Libya, all of which are culturally sensitive topics in the country. In February 2011 the United Nations stripped Ayesha of her role as a goodwill ambassador.
