As hundreds of Lybians flood the streets in the eastern city of Beyida, asking for the exit of their leadership, it has become necessary to post my analysis of the leadership and imperialist style of Muammar Gaddafi in the Daily Times edition of January 16, 1981.
Within the same period, President Ronald Reagan became apprehensive of Gadaffi’s exploits, especially in the face of skirmishes over the Gulf of Sidra. Posted here also is a caricature of Reagan’s state of mind at the time. In fact, Reagan had to put paid to Gadaffi’s exploits with a surprise raid on Lybia on April 14, 1986.
GADAFFI AND NIGERIA
The article in today’s post also calls to mind, Gadaffi’s uninvited submissions during the impasse following President Yar’Adua’s ailment. You may recall that Gadaffi canvassed the splitting of Nigeri along sectarian lines.
Please help yourself to these historic materials.
