Gaddaffi’s Last Formal Speech – This Is Very Moving! by proffnico(m): 10:03pm On Aug 25, 2014
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful…
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I
could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when
they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi
into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from
that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed my adopted
orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he
killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers
and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union.
I did all I could to help people Understand the concept of
real democracy, where people’s committees ran our country.
But that was never enough, as some told me, even people
who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never
satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They
told Americans and other visitors, that they needed
"democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut
throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but
they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that
in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals,
no free housing, no free education and no free food,
except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get
soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but
for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser,
the only true Arab and Muslim leader we’ve had since
Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his
people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his
footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from
colonial domination – from thieves who would steal from us.
Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military
history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to
take away the freedom of our country, to take away our
free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our
free food, and replace it with American style thievery,
called "capitalism" ,but all of us in the Third World know
what that means, it means corporations run the countries,
run the world, and the people suffer.
So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand,
and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the
path that has made our country rich with farmland, with
food and health, and even allowed us to help our African
and Arab brothers and sisters.
I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this
land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children,
then so be it.
Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up
to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stoop up
to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist
ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my
true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.
When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house,
and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not
spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-
Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for
Islam, I took little for myself…
In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they
know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land
is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my
vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people
and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may
Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free".
My brothers and sisters let's start loving more of each
other and stop killing each other cause Europe America and
other western world will never want to see sunshine of
Africans...

Mere rabble-rousing, he ruled for almost 40 years or more. How does that sound, how can that be close to democracy, only one person in power for 40 years. This speech will touch those who don't know greedy politicians.

In as much as i respect some of his leadership style, i dislike very many things about him. He would hv been one of Africa must celebrated leader if his leadership styles where not driving by religious ideology and greed for power. Whatever RIP.

Mean while

He was not driven by greed per se but rather a lack of trust of what might become if he vacates the seat of power. Such people hate capitalism so much they don't want the west to dictate their future. Its the Nasserism really same principle followed by such men as kwame Nkrumah , Patrice Lumumba , Rawlings .
There are many African leaders ready to be sub servient to western control at the detriment of African progress in exchange they get a pass and Europe turns a blind eye to their elongated reign .

What I mean really is France get to vote in the AU through France , Mali and US via Liberia etc

well I don't really know much about him, but all am against is him holding power for close to 40 yrs, think about it, assuming Obj was still in power, most citizens would not like it. In any position one finds himself, one must have an opposition, all am saying is that many must have been aspiring for the seat of power, but he won't step down, egbe beru, ugo e beru, he is not the only one capable of ruling his country, someone else should try and someone else has taken over.
Paul Biya and Zugabe are still glued to power, they may have the same fate as Gaddafi.
