Gaddafi and his regime were known for funding groups abroad that
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" />

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:Cball-Angola.png]] Angola ====
[[File:Cball-Angola.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|MPLA]] is known to have cooperated with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya during the Portuguese Colonial War, but to a lesser extent than national liberation movements in countries such as [[File:Cball-Mozambique.png]] Mozambique and [[File:Cball-South Africa alt.png]] South Africa.
==== [[File:Cball-Namibia.png]] Namibia ====
[[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] was armed by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, in the South African Border War. [[File:Cball-Angola.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|MPLA]] and [[File:ANC-icon.png]] [[Social Democracy|ANC]], with whom [[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] acted together, also received intense support from Muammar Gaddafi during this period. [[File:Cball-Namibia.png]] Namibia also issued a statement criticizing the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US intervention, at the beginning of Libyan Civil War.
==== [[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] Guinea-Bissau ====
[[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PAIGC]], which fought for independence during the Portuguese Colonial War, received support from [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya.
==== [[File:Cball-Uganda.png]] Uganda ====
Ugandan Bush War was also among the wars in which [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya participated, by supporting [[File:NRM-Uganda.png]] NRM and West Nile rebel groups.

[[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad resisted [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya for a long time, with the foreign support it received from [[File:Cball-US.png]] US, [[File:Cball-France.png]] France and [[File:Zio.png]] Israel. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya had to withdraw, when many rebel groups opposing [[File:FROLINAT.png]] [[Islamic Socialism|FROLINAT]] cooperated with [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad.

In the Ethiopian Civil War, which started as a result of the violent power struggle and [[File:Cball-Eritrea.png]] Eritrea's efforts to declare independence, Muammar Gaddafi initially supported the rebel groups in [[File:Cball-Eritrea.png]] Eritrea. [[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:Cball-Comoros.png]] Comoros ====
[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya provided logistical support to [[File:Cball-Comoros.png]] Comoros during the 2008 invasion of Anjouan.

[[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.
[[File:Absoc.png]] [[Arab Socialism|As-Sa'iqa]], the Palestinian branch of [[File:Neo-Baath.png]] [[Ba'athism|Syrian-led Ba'ath Party]] and dissidents within [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Arab Socialism|Fatah]], such as [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Abu Nidal Organization]] cooperated with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya.
