Gaddaffis grandparents came from Mali. I read this in a Ghadaffi interview. Hid great grandfather is a Turgeg from northern Mali Region. His grandparents moved to Libya ( can't reproduce the sources) but they are originally Malians. He has a mission and a purpose. I like him. ________________________________ From: oko drammeh <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wed, March 24, 2010 6:16:18 PM Subject: Re: In honour of Dramane, we bring you Tuesday, 23rd march edition of Mali and other Relevant News.

In this edition; 1. ATT visits Gaddafi in Tripoli and Sirte. I like Gaddafi's tent. You will recall Kitabul Akhdar - the Green Book? Well I have no idea what happened to that vision for Libya but Gaddafi wants to test it in Mali in an effort to realize King-cred. The king of kings of Africa. Mali yielded 100,000 hectares to him and he's building an aqueduct of average 75 metres wide and 40 km long. Alongside he will construct an access road. With this canal he plans to irrigate the 100,000 hectares in the Niger River complex where other governments like The Netherlands, Japan, US, Canada, EU have developped massive irrigation systems. The Millenium Development Challenge is also very active in accompanying Mali's agricultural revolution. Gaddafi is also busy investing in the tourist industry in Mali with two hotels Laico and Afriquia, a cultural village alongside the Afriquia hotel in Timboctou, and a hospitality complex alongside the Laico in Bamaco. That's not all. You remmember Ibrahim AG Bahanga. Well he is the insurance policy so Gaddafi remains king of kings of Africa. He is dispatched every once in a while to regroup some bands of Tuareg criminals in order to create a corridor between south Libya and North Mali passing through Tamanrasset. This will ensure the caravan route for the king to make visits to his subjects in the south. Bahanga lives in a villa afforded by the king in south Libya. 2 - Malians in France and in Canada participate in the development of their nation and in ensuring democratic governance in Mali. 3 - The Czech Republic parliamentarians are impressed with Mali's democracy. And they visit Mali to begin a new regime of partnership in defense and commerce. You will remmember the Czech Republic supplied Mali with the Mali Franc currency and they painted Czechs black to make the money suitable for Mali. They had tanks and armour on the money. Mali abandoned that money, not for the cultural unsuitability but because of local economic models that were hamstrung by a Mali Franc among the French Franc Zone. You know the friggin French were livid. I hope the Czech now have better ideas for cooperation. 4. - WAR AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS etcetera, etcetera. Allez!!!
