Another one of the regime's foreign relations was in 2009, when Gaddafi was named the head of the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] African Union. Almost immediately, Gaddafi's strong [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Africanism|pan-nationalism]] made some members of the union uneasy. He advocated for an extremely strong union of all the member states and the eventual formation of the "United States of Africa", which would function as any other sovereign government.<ref>[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2009/2/2/african-union-names-gaddafi-as-head ''"African Union names Gaddafi as head"''], Al Jazeera. 2 February 2009.</ref> In 2010, when Gaddafi tried to become the head again after his one year term ended, several African nations pushed back and he was denied.<ref name="BioBritt" /> |

[[File:Cball-Mozambique-old.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|FRELIMO]] and [[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|PAIGC]], which fought for independence during the Portuguese Colonial Wars, were armed by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya. [[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] received similar support in the South African Border War, and [[File:Cball-Angola.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|MPLA]] is also known to have cooperated with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, although at a lower level. |
