Kadhafi

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani brings up Gaddafi mainly to talk about the Western intervention in Libya and the way an enemy is designated. He places him among the "new Hitlers"1 and compares him to Saddam Hussein2: for him, this is a case of personalising designated enemies3. He often returns to Gaddafi's lynching, which he parallels with the fate promised to Assad4. He notes the role of American satellites in locating him. Without taking his side5, he describes a prosperous Libya, a secular regime of young colonels, respected in sub-Saharan Africa67. He contrasts this Libya with the chaos that followed: refugees dying in large numbers, weapons passing to jihadists, the return of slavery. In recent sessions, he adds that Gaddafi had asked for gold in exchange for dollars, as de Gaulle did, and proposed a substitute currency for the CFA franc shortly before the attack8.
