New Status in Africa Empowers an Ever-Eccentric Qaddafi

In the article “New Status in Africa Empowers an Ever-Eccentric Qaddafi “ by Michael Slackman, it mentions how Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya became a leader in “United States of Africa.” The africa has a new leader and his name is Colonel Qaddafi. Everyone expects good results from him at the very beginning, but right now people are concerned about their situation.  Colonel Qaddafi tries very hard to be a leader in Africa and wants to be someone influential in the world. Last month, he was selected to leas the 53-nation African Union. He ran a campaign and made people believed that he will make their life much easier and they will all make money. However, the truth is that people suffer and the problem of illegal immigrants will slow down the progress of the civilization. Instead of sending these illegal people back home, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi kept them in Libya and showed people he had the sympathy. In fact, he just wanted his mercy to be seen by the other countries, such as European countries. So one day they will allow these illegal people to live their countries. The more important reason he did not send these people home is because he can save money in this way. In the end, the ambitious leader wants to become more powerful in his leadership in the future. After reading this article, I wonder how people in Libya can empower Qaddafi since the life in Libya does not become better. It looks like it only benefits Qaddafi. I wonder if the consequence is related to the average degree of education in Libya. I think if people are educated, they will not allow these kinds of things happened. Or I should say that all the problems existed because of the economic issues in Libya, a poor country. I hope the situation will change a year later since Colonel Qaddafi will serve only a one-year term as chairman of the African Union.
