Gaddafi's Legacy in Sub-Saharan Africa
Gaddafi's adventures in Sub Saharan Africa began in 1976, when he pledged to pause for the brutal emperor Bocassa of the Central African Republic. He sent two and a half thousand troops to Uganda to aid the regime of monstrous dictator Idi Amin against the invading army of Tanzania. Gaddafi later gives safe haven to Amin when he's overthrown. Later Gaddafi talks of a United Africa with a combined army, economy, currency. And supports it with a $5 billion slosh fund to build roads, hotels, to establish telecommunications.
