The eightyth is a token of love, appreciation, and loyalty in recognition of his continuous and sincere scientific efforts in studying the modern and contemporary history of Libya, and the research space he provided for historians to write about the history of the Greater Maghreb in the three journals he publishes in his prestigious institution, and the books and studies he presented, in which he spent the prime of his life, in service of scientific research, and in the hope of building a better tomorrow for our Maghreb region. May God Almighty preserve him and grant him health and well-being.
