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

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
[[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.
[[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.▼
Similarity between the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] African policies of Muammar Gaddafi and [[Nationalism|Idi Amin]], enabled two leaders to establish many economic and military cooperations. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya supported [[File:Cball-Uganda.png]] Uganda by sending 400 soldiers to the 1972 invasion of Uganda and 4500 soldiers to the Uganda-Tanzania War.▼
== Militant Groups ==
[[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Left-wing nationalist]] groups which fought for independence against [[File:Cball-Portugal.png]] Portugal, were supported by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya. [[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PAIGC]] in Guinea-Bissau War of Independence and [[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] in South African Border War, received weapons supply. [[File:Cball-Namibia.png]] Namibia issued a statement criticizing the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US intervention, at the beginning of Libyan Civil War. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya has been one of [[File:Cball-Mozambique-old.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|FRELIMO]]'s closest allies in Mozambican War of Independence.

Muammar Gaddafi's main goals were to annex the Aouzou Strip, turn [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad into a satellite state of [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, and obtain a base for his Central African policies. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya has carried out many operations in the region, through the [[File:Islamic Socialism.png]] Islamic Legion.

[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, which cooperated with the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|ELF]] before the year of 1977, has supplied weapons to [[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. ▼
