Libya, Libya, Libya (also known as Ya Beladi, "Oh my country!"), composed by Mohammed Abdel Wahab, is the national anthem of Libya. It was originally the national anthem from independence in 1951 until 1969 when King Idris I was overthrown by a Coup d'état led by Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi adopted the marching song Allahu Akbar as the national anthem of the newly proclaimed Libyan Arab Republic. In 2011 It was readopted as national anthem by the National Transitional Council.
