Gaddafism: Difference between revisions

In 2008, [[File:Gaddafi.png]]Muammar Gaddafi claimed the title of "King of Kings" after a gathering of more than 200 African [[File:Tribal.png]]tribal kings and chiefs endorsed his use of the title on 28 August that year, stating that "We have decided to recognise our brotherly leader as the "[[File:Unimon.png]]king of kings, [[File:Monarch.png]]sultans, [[File:Feudal.png]]princes, [[File:Muslim_2.png]]sheikhs and [[File:Urb.png]]mayors of Africa". At the meeting, held in the city of [[File:Cball-Libya.png]]Benghazi, Gaddafi was given gifts including a throne, an 18th-century Qur'an, [[File:TraditionalTrad.png]]traditional outfits and ostrich eggs. At the same meeting, Gaddafi urged his guests to put pressure on their own governments and speed the process of moving towards a [[File:Panafricanism.png]]unified African continent. Gaddafi told those that attended the meeting that "We want an [[File:Militarism.png]]African military to defend Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one [[File:Civnat.png]]African passport to travel within Africa". The meeting was later referred to as a "bizarre ceremony" in [[File:Mediacracy.png]]international media.
