Gaddafi ran a school near Benghazi called the World Revolutionary Center (WRC), where he gave military training to foreign leaders who shared ideological similarities with him.[84] Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso and Idriss Déby of Chad were graduates of this school, and are currently in power in their respective countries.[85] Gaddafi trained and supported Charles Taylor of Liberia, Foday Sankoh, the founder of Revolutionary United Front, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, the Emperor of the Central African Empire.,[86][87] and Mengistu Haile Mariam of Ethiopia.[87] Gaddafi intervened militarily in the Central African Republic in 2001 to protect his ally Ange-Félix Patassé from overthrow. Patassé signed a deal giving Libya a 99-year lease to exploit all of that country's natural resources, including uranium, copper, diamonds, and oil.[84] He also sent troops to fight against Tanzania on behalf of Idi Amin and lost 600 Libyan soldiers defending Amin's collapsing regime.[86]

Gaddafi's support frequently went to leaders recognized by the United Nations as dictators and warlords. Gaddafi used anti-Western rhetoric against the UN, and complained that the International Criminal Court was a "new form of world terrorism" that wanted to recolonize developing countries.[88] Gaddafi opposed the ICC's arrest warrant for Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and personally gave refuge to Idi Amin in Libya after his fall from rule in 1979.[89] According to the Special Court for Sierra Leone, Charles Taylor's orders for "The amputation of the arms and legs of men, women, and children as part of a scorched-earth campaign was designed to take over the region’s rich diamond fields and was backed by Gaddafi, who routinely reviewed their progress and supplied weapons".[85][90]

Gaddafi's support for different rulers and dictators across Africa cemented his reputation as a powerful African leader, and gained him several allies across the continent. He was bestowed the title of King of Kings of Africa in 2008 as part of a grassroots effort to encourage African heads of state and government to follow Gaddafi towards greater political integration.

bloodsucking vampires, racist megalomaniacs and cold blooded murderers love trying to assume the moral high ground - they can only get away with it when they are talking to illiterates, not people who know their history.
