Gaddafi Crown Himself 'Africa's King
of Kings' As He Seeks To Create
'Continental Government'
October 17, 2008
Political pundits and academicians were last
week trying to make sense of Libyan leader Col
Muammar Gaddafi's latest game plan, after he
had himself crowned "King of Kings" by a
section of African traditional leaders,
sultans, sheiks and mayors from Muslim North
Africa during ceremonies in Benghazi at the
end of August.
Dubbed the Forum of
African Traditional Leaders, which will be
meeting every September 9 in Sirte (Gaddafi's
birthplace), the event, which is also being
touted as a precursor to an African government
to be launched next year, attracted more than
500 cultural leaders.
Quoting a communiqué
issued after the event, Uganda's
Muslim-leaning newspaper, The Weekly Message,
reported in its most recent edition that
Gaddafi was crowned King of Kings in
recognition of his role in liberating Africa
from colonialism and his frontline role in
pushing for African unity.
Among issues agreed
during the forum was the creation of a
government of the African Union next year and
the issuance of a single currency and passport
for the continent.
The proposed African
Union government is to be formed subject to
the inclusion of sitting ministers of foreign
affairs, defence, external trade, transport
and communication from AU member states.
But coming just over a
year after Gaddafi's push for an African
political union headed by a president met
resistance from African presidents at their
last meeting in Abuja, the maverick leader's
latest adventure is being seen as an attempt
to create a parallel track that would bring
him closer to his goal of being Africa's first
continental president.
The sitting also elected
Gaddafi, who gave his guests gifts that
included Rado watches and African traditional
garb, as the forum's chairman.
Ugandan officials were
quick to underplay the development, describing
it as neutral to Uganda-Libya relations, but
academicians were warning that given the
Libyan leader's past record, his newfound
alliance with traditional leaders had the
potential to degenerate into a new wave of
secular fundamentalism that could be a source
of instability, as ambitious cultural leaders
jostle for power with republicans.
Uganda's Junior Foreign
Minister in charge of International
Co-operation, Okello Oryem, said that
Gaddafi's "crowning" should have no negative
impact on the ties between the two countries
because "our diplomatic relations are
determined by the level of interaction. The
lower the interactions, the lower the
relationship but generally speaking, our
relationship is very cordial and at a high
level," he said.
But Mwambutsya Ndebesa,
a senior lecturer at Makerere University's
Department of History and Development Studies,
said though Gaddafi's latest adventure may
indeed not turn out to be much of a threat, it
could still create a nuisance.
Mr Ndebesa said Gaddafi
had a history of destabilising his neighbours
and as such his current actions should be
viewed with some caution.
"I don't see any
possibility of ideological convergence between
Gaddafi and the traditionalists, but he can
still cause some trouble here and there by
whipping up the appetite of some radical
traditional elements," Mr Ndebesa said, adding
that the Libyan leader had always been a
contradictory figure, a man who overthrew a
monarchy but was now allying with
traditionalists.
Libyan forces also
supported Idi Amin's regime against
Tanzanian-led liberation forces that included
President Museveni's Front for National
Salvation -- but, years later, he contributed
arms to Museveni's guerrilla campaign against
Ugandan government forces.
Gaddafi's surprising
love affair with monarchies was first
manifested during a 1996 visit to Uganda, when
he developed an interest in the then infant
King of Toro, for whom he built a turnkey
palace.
Later, he sponsored the
young king and his sister's education and the
duo, accompanied by their mother, Queen Best
Kemigisha, have made a number of extended
visits to Libya.
The Toro delegation to
the Benghazi meeting travelled and returned
aboard a private jet paid for by Gaddafi.
In all, 34 traditional
leaders from Uganda, including two kings --
Solomon Gafabusa Iguru of Bunyoro and Oyo
Nyimba Kabamba Iguru of Toro -- attended the
Benghazi proceedings.
There was also a
delegation from the Kingdom of Buganda, the
Paramaount Chiefs of Acholi and Lango in
northern Uganda as well as the Emorimor of
Teso.
But cracks were already
appearing in the forum even before the ink had
dried on the Benghazi protocols.
With the exception of
Toro and Bunyoro, the other Ugandan cultural
leaders distanced themselves from ever
endorsing the Libyan leader as some kind of
supreme African ruler.
At the meeting, the
Buganda delegation went on record as telling
the gathering that it was against their
culture and norms to recognise a monarch other
than their own king.
Equally, the Paramount
Chiefs of Acholi and Lango were vehement in
their denials that they were party to an
agreement that endorsed Gaddafi as King of
Kings.
"No, we did not do that.
The Arabs might have elected him, but we did
not sign anything to make him King of Kings.
You can call the Acholi
Paramount Chief and confirm this. How could we
do such a thing?" Yosum Odur Won-Nyaci,
Paramount Chief of Lango, said when The
EastAfrican called him.
Acholi Paramount Chief
David Onen Acana said that it appeared to have
been a calculated move to advance Gaddafi's
ambitions because while most delegations from
East Africa were in Libya for the first time,
their counterparts from West and North Africa
appeared to have been there on a follow-up
meeting and all what happened was symbolic.
"We were all taken by
surprise. According to me, he is not really a
king in any sense. Gaddafi is pursuing a
social angle to achieve his goals of having
one Africa. He wanted to expand the issues to
cultural leaders to work with politicians to
speed up the unity of Africa," Acana said.
Although nobody gave it
much thought at the time, Gaddafi's grandiose
scheme first came to the attention of Ugandans
in early September, when he signed off as
"King of Kings" a condolence message he sent
to President Museveni upon the death of the
Kyabazinga of Busoga, Henry Wako Muloki.
But the King of Kings of
2008 is the very man who overthrew King Idris
I in 1969, abolished the monarchy and
proclaimed the country the Libyan Arab
Republic.
The Ugandan kings who
spoke to The East African said that Gaddafi
explained to them the need for African unity
and urged them to mobilise their people to
support the cause. They said Gaddafi told them
that the African president would rule for only
three years.
The kings said they told
Gaddafi they had no powers and that electing
an African president is a political issue that
the head of states and other politicians must
decide upon.
One view is that, flush
with dollars from the recent boom in oil
prices, Gaddafi has started on a new round of
political adventurism. Mr Ndebesa said the
Libyan leader is reversing the process of
democratisation, whereas the African Union
should be run on the principles of democracy.
The idea of supporting
and using monarchs who are conservatives to
pursue his ideology raises questions as to
whether he is creating a parallel African
Union structure.
Mr Ndebesa added that
the possibility that any of these monarchs
could become a threat to their governments
cannot be ruled out if Gaddafi's support helps
make them financially independent.
This is not the first
time Gaddafi is attempting to create a unified
nation. In 1972, he proclaimed the Federation
of Arab Republics, hoping to create a pan-Arab
state.
The deputy chairman of
the Uganda Muslim Youth Assembly, Imam Kasozi,
who is also a lecturer at the Islamic
University in Uganda, had some advice for
Gaddafi:
"If he overthrew a king,
how does he now turn around and call himself
King of Kings? He wants to be in power for
eternity, but it does not work like that.
