Muammar Gaddafi felt that the Arabs did not give him the right to lead. Even those who have lived from his assistance have considered him a stranger, a teenager or a sick person, even though they have avoided demonstrating it. The Libyan leader's response to Africa, where poverty is more severe and the purchase of consciences and loyalties easier. Supporting governors and supporting dissidents. He established relationships with men accused of delinquency, madness and even cannibalism. He returned from that adventure with military interventions, wars, warriors, embroidered clothes, and a title that embarrassed many, the King of the Kings of Africa.
He held the African file long at the table of Dr. Ali Abdul Salam Triki. He was touring the continent carrying messages and wishes and some say he was floating around with bags full of dollars, which he denies. I asked «Life» Triki about «African adventure» and other stations Here is the text of the third episode:
Q: How was Muammar Gaddafi living?
- My proximity to Gaddafi or my presence with him does not mean that I knew his character or knew what he was doing or what he was reading or what he was writing or what he was running. These were things I did not interfere with, but I kept away from. I was only interested in politics. I do not know any of his children, for example, except Saif al-Islam, whom I sometimes saw with his father. I had no contact with his children on holidays or on occasions or weddings, for example, and we did not have family relations.
> When did you meet him for the first time?
- In 1973, I was the director of the African Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and wanted to move the headquarters of the Organization of African Unity from Addis Ababa to Cairo. I have seen that such a move would provoke Africans to accuse the Arabs of seeking control of the organization and suggested trying to move it to a non-Arab African capital. Then I met him at the end of 1974 when he commissioned me to visit the predominantly Muslim republics of the Soviet Union. At the Foreign Ministry we met him every Thursday for about an hour or two.
> What was he talking about during these meetings?
- It was talking about the most prominent foreign affairs and was saying to do such or such.
> Do you hate America?
- I do not know his true feeling in his own mind, whether he loves her or hates her but he certainly was not a friend of her. Muammar is a strange character with mysterious things that are sometimes difficult to explain logically. He was a friend of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and of Berlusconi and was ready to make friends according to his impressions and what he considered his interests. Unfortunately, in a small country, its potential is limited. Of course, it had money and it had the freedom to dispose of it, and this probably gave it the advantage of using the money in any form.
> Were there no institutions you could say to him, not with regard to disbursing money?
- Muammar ended the institutions and established the individual's absolute system of powers in respect of political and other decisions. The Koran speaks of Pharaoh «underestimated his people and obeyed» in the end turned to Pharaoh.
> Was it bloody?
> The Revolutionary Command Council abolished and dismantled the army and made it battalions Why?
- It is the enemy of any organization organized according to clear rules and based on a plan. What the military did to other institutions. Imagine, for example, the method of crawling embassies and forming committees for their administrations. Diplomatic work requires professionals and information, and it is not enough for a person to be revolutionary or loyal to assume these responsibilities.
> This means that he managed the country for four decades according to his mood?
- One of our colleagues is similar to this case with a large bag (Shawwal) put in a group of mice, you have to move the bag constantly so as not to give them time to think of a solution to get out of the way of his loan. He was also constantly stirring out every day legally or managing a process and every day there is something different. States need to continue and stability in development, diplomacy and other fields. There are those who believe that this method of governance was used to distract people and to keep all sites and entities weak and occupied by their safety or small wars.
Q: What are the stages in which Gaddafi passed?
- During the first five years, Gaddafi acted in a reasonable or somewhat acceptable manner until the conspiracy of the Revolutionary Command Council member Lieutenant Colonel Omar al-Mahishi in 1975, when he changed, and became distrustful of the army and his colleagues. Also, the civil order that Gaddafi tried to exploit: tribes and strife among people. He created sensitivities between the tribes and the cities and tried to create problems between Misrata, Bani Walid and Benghazi between the desert and the urban. I mastered the game of inciting people against each other so that the government remains the sole authority and is allowed to retain power.
> Gaddafi if turmoil is a permanent policy?
- All this is echoing: I am not responsible and I am not president. President Hafez al-Assad When he was in Tripoli and we were talking about unity between Libya and Syria, Gaddafi said to him: I do not have powers. He said to him: O Muammar, the powers that you own do not have any Arab president.
> Was this true? Was there an Arab president with the ability to act in his country and people like Qaddafi?
- Indeed, he had unlimited freedom to act with money and people.
> Did you know about the international situation?
- In his first years in office, our meetings were weekly and then cut off and became complicated from time to time if a topic arose. Read the international situation from his positions and desires without examining the facts and variables.
[Asharq Al-Awsat] When I was foreign minister, did he call you and where to? What were his requests?
- Sometimes he called me to his tent and sometimes to his office, and sometimes he had messages he wanted to communicate and sometimes he had a subject he wanted to raise, such as the subject of the Arab Union, the theme of African unity ... different topics.
What is the story of the King of Kings?
