911事件后，卡扎菲出人意料地与西方国家合作，这与他之前的反西方立场形成鲜明对比。他的转变是出于自身利益的考虑，即寻求西方的保护以应对阿拉伯世界即将到来的动荡以及来自基地组织等极端组织的威胁。为了改善与西方的关系，卡扎菲采取了一系列措施，包括移交洛克比空难嫌疑人，承认利比亚对空难的责任并支付赔偿金，以及放弃大规模杀伤性武器。这些举动使利比亚重返国际社会，并获得了西方国家的经济援助和合作，例如与英国、法国和意大利等国的合作以及与西方石油公司的能源协议。然而，卡扎菲的专制统治和对人权的践踏始终存在，阿布萨利姆监狱惨案是其暴行的有力证明。该事件揭露了卡扎菲政权的残酷本质，也成为其最终垮台的导火索之一。卡扎菲的儿子们也参与了利比亚的经济活动，并过着奢靡的生活，加剧了民众的不满。卡扎菲的形象在国际社会中也发生了转变，从被妖魔化的独裁者到被滑稽化的人物，但其本质依然是一个残酷的独裁者。
