Since securing power in 1969, Qaddafi had worked to fill senior positions in his government and security services with members of his own tribe, the Gaddafa in order to deter a coup d'état. The coup attempt occurred the year following the imposition of a significantly impactful sanctions regime on Libya under United Nations Security Council Resolution 748 which caused significant economic hardship and sparked internal unrest as a result.
