a good introduction to Libya’s Gaddafi and Gaddafi’s Libya. Depending on who you listen to he was a crazy African tyrant or a Pan African hero assassinated by Clinton and Obama.

He studied his predecessors and funded anti imperialists throughout the world. He evoked coup after coup, always manipulating both friends, allies and enemies.

I guess it’s never as simple as processing values and living up to them when it comes to National States.

Casting his eyes downwards and smiling quietly as was his custom. The man at the heart of an international storm. Vilified by the west, Gaddafi is something of a Pan-African icon. Not just because of years of diplomacy on the continent, but also because of the manner of his destruction. Flickering between monster and martyr, his ghost haunts Africa. This is the story of Muammar Gaddafi’s rise and fall.
