In the parallel world of the Green Book, the system is called a Jamahiriyya - a neologism that plays on the Arabic word for a republic, Jumhuriyya, implying "rule by the masses". Image caption, Gaddafi's 'system' as envisaged in the Green BookSo the long-suffering Libyan masses were dragooned into attending popular congresses vested with no power, authority or budgets, with the knowledge that anyone who spoke out of turn and criticised the regime could be carted off to prison. A set of draconian laws was enacted in the name of upholding security, further undermining the colonel's claim to a champion of freedom from oppression and dictatorship.
US President Ronald Reagan ordered air strikes against Tripoli and Benghazi in retaliation for the two soldiers and one civilian killed and the dozens of wounded, although there was no conclusive proof beyond intelligence "chatter" that Libya had ordered the attack. The US retaliation was intended to kill the "mad dog of the Middle East", as Mr Reagan branded him, but although there was extensive damage and an unknown number of Libyan fatalities - including, it was claimed, Gaddafi's adopted daughter - the colonel emerged unscathed. His reputation may even have been enhanced among opponents of Washington's heavy-handed foreign policy.
KCCA FC's Muhammad Shaban (Yellow) is back from suspension / KCCA FC Image The trio missed last Friday's 2-1 defeat to Busoga United, but are back and are in contention to feature against Gaddafi tomorrow, at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo. "Obenchan is the captain, Shaban and Magambo are senior players, so it's a big boost, " KCCA head coach Abdallah Mubiru told the press in his pre-match interview. However, the 13-time Uganda Premier League champions will be without defender Mustafa Mujuzi against the army side.

" "After the assessment in today's training, we'll know if they'll play or miss the game, " the tactician added.
Ironically, it was on the Arab front that Gaddafi kept his black sheep status alive. Throughout the 2000s, the normally staid proceedings of annual summits of the Arab League were almost guaranteed to be disrupted by the Libyan leader's antics, whether it was lighting up a cigarette and blowing smoke into the face of his neighbour, or tossing insults at Gulf rulers and the Palestinians, or declaring himself "king of kings of Africa". The UN has also witnessed the colonel's eccentricity. At the 2009 General Assembly, he gave a rambling speech more than an hour-and-a-quarter longer than his allocated 10-minute time slot, tearing out and screwing up pages from the UN Charter as he spoke.

It was after all more or less business as usual between Washington and the other authoritarian Arab rulers whom the US called friends and allies. With international sanctions lifted, Tripoli was back on the international political itinerary, allowing British Prime Minister Tony Blair, among other luminaries, to drop in at Gaddafi's famously luxurious Bedouin tent erected in his palace grounds. In true nomadic style, the tent also went with the colonel on trips to Europe and the US, although in New York state it fell foul of stringent zoning regulations on the estate of tycoon Donald Trump and had to be hastily dismantled. Distaste about the alleged architect of Lockerbie's readmission into the world leaders' club lingered in many circles, not least among the US victims' families and their supporters. But that did not stop business deals being struck with a succession of western defence manufacturers and oil firms.
