PETER KOENIG: Mr. Gaddafi wanted to empower Africa. He had a plan to
create a new African Union, based on a new African economic system. He
had a plan to introduce the ‘Gold Dinar’ as backing for African
currencies, so they could become free from the dollar dominated western
monetary system, that kept and keeps usurping Africa; Africa’s vast
natural resources, especially oil and minerals. As a first step, he
offered this lucrative and very beneficial alternative to other Muslim
African states, but leaving it open for any other African countries to
join.
