GADHAFI'S PASSING MOURNED IN AFRICA.

AP News- Weather you believe it or not Gadhafi's regime poured tens of billions of dollars into some of Africa's poorest countries. Even when he visited Mali, the eccentric Libyan leader won the admiration of many for handing out money to the beggars on the streets.



Malian Cherno Diallo said "Other heads of state just drive past in their limousines. Gadhafi stopped pushed aside his bodyguards and shook our hands, Gadhafi's death has touched every Malian, every single one of us, we are all upset".



While western powers herald Gadhafi's end, many Africans were gathering at mosque built with Gadhafi's money to mourn the man they consider an anti-imperialist martyr and benefactor.
