==== [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States ====
Gaddafi and his regime were known for funding groups abroad that alaginedaligned with his beliefs, like the [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|Black Panther Party]] in the US and the [[File:IrelandHarp.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|IRA]] in Northern Ireland. These activities caused a growing disfavor of Gaddafi in the eyes of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] American government, and in 1986, carried out airstrikes on several sites in [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, barley missing Gaddafi, but killing many members of his family in the process.<ref name="BioBritt" />
 
This relationship with [[File:Cball-US.png]] America and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community only got worse after it was revealed that Gaddafi's regime had funded [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists who blew up a civilian plane over Lockerbie, [[File:Cball-Scotland.png]] Scotland in 1988, killing all onboard and some on the ground. As a result, the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN and [[File:Cball-US.png]] America sanctioned [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, but later, in the 90's, Gaddafi would hand over the alleged [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN dropped the sanctions, but the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US would not do the same until 2003, when Gaddafi ended his weapons program.<ref name="BioBritt" />
Line 187:
In 2008, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Muammar Gaddafi claimed the title of "[[File:Unimon.png]] king of kings" after a gathering of more than 200 African [[File:Tribal.png]] tribal kings and chiefs endorsed his use of the title on 28 August that year, stating that "We have decided to recognise our [[File:Gaddafi.png]] brotherly leader as the '[[File:Unimon.png]] king of kings', [[File:Monarch.png]]sultans, [[File:Feud.png]] princes, [[File:Muslim_2.png]] sheikhs and [[File:Urb.png]] mayors of Africa". At the meeting, held in the city of [[File:Cball-Libya.png]] Benghazi, Gaddafi was given gifts including a throne, an 18th-century [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Qur'an, [[File:Trad.png]] traditional outfits and ostrich eggs. At the same meeting, Gaddafi urged his guests to put pressure on their own governments and speed the process of moving towards a [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] unified African continent [[File:Blacknat.png]]. Gaddafi told those that attended the meeting that "We want an [[File:Mil.png]] African military [[File:Strato.png]] to defend [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one [[File:Civnat.png]] African passport to travel within Africa". The meeting was later referred to as a "bizarre ceremony" in [[File:Mediastocracy_flair.png]] international media.

[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, which cooperated with the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|ELF]] before the year of 1977, has supported the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|EPLF]] since then, with the influence of the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|ELF]]'s move away from [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxism-Leninism]] and the emergence of new alternatives.

[[File:Habash.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|PFLP]] has long been supported by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, in their actions in [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestine and [[File:Cball-Lebanon.png]] Lebanon. However, in later periods, the cooperation ended as a result of ideological differences between them. [[File:MLM.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism–Maoism|DFLP]] also had some contacts with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, although less than other groups.
 
The externalExternal support needed by the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PPSF]], which was established after the split of [[File:Habash.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|PFLP]] due to ideological differences, was provided by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya.
