CAIRO: Libyan leader Muhammar Qaddafi, the new head of the African Union, said on Monday he would continue to press for the creation of a pan-African state. Qaddafi was elected at the tenth session of the African Union in the Ethiopan capital, Addis Ababa, succeeding Tanzanian President Jakaya Kidwete.
"I will continue to work to ensure that our sovereign states unite into a United States of Africa," he said, according to Nile News.
Qaddafi has long been campaigning for the establishment of a continental government, a project that has met with fierce opposition from a significant number of African Leaders.
Liby has also been attempting to reform its socialist economy and embrace globalization since mending ties with the West by abandoning its quest for weapons of mass destruction at the end of 2003.

      Oh I applaud his method of now shifting from a Fascist Dictatorship, to a Liberal leaning Democratic peace loving Member of the free World in the middle east, Oh Contrere' mon frer. I just wonder if He's a Member in the Council on Foreign Relations? I've got to put that on My 'to do' list. I gotta hand it to ol Muhammar. This is a newer, updated and rubber stamped Friend of Allah. Kissing the hand of the Global Corporate World Government. So, I question his motives.

    • Its of interest to note here how ironic it is that a Muslim Dictator is leading the march for Liberalism in that region and now the Chairman for the African Union. I wonder who the Chairman for the American Union will be? Questions, questions.
