Libya was turned into the Kingdom of Cyrennaica (after Qadafi was killed in a US bombing raid) in 1981 with Muhammad Qadafi declaring himself Muhammad the First. He ruled from 1981-1998. In 1991 Cyrennaica (Libya) was invaded by Egyptian, Algerian and a Rebel Army controlled by Shukri Ghanems. Muhammad was backed by the French and Italians by 1993 and was fighting off all Four armies. In 1995 Algerian forces were helplessly caught in the Quagmire Battle of Emgayet and because of heavy Casualties against the Italo-Cyrennaican Force, evacuated the country by the end of the year. In 1996 Syrian Air and Naval support stopped. In early 1998 French troops were called back to quell the Communist Revolt. And on June 14th Italian troops evacuated the county and went home. Muhammad fled to Italy. In
