Do you remember this special dude in the photo?
I just came across a really funny youtube video of This dude who is : Muammar Al-Gaddafi , the de facto leader of Libya and thought of sharing it with you guyz.
it was part of an interview conducted by Aljazeera channel and I'm not really sure when it was aired exactly, so here's the video :
I didn't find a subtitled version of the video so I'll translate what he generally said in it.
He basically was playing an Arabic language genius trying to explain what the word democracy really means. It means -he says- "demo-karasy" , demo as in dohama2 = meaning idiots and Karasy means chairs in Arabic. so According to him, the elected presidents out of democratic elections are basically idiots elected to sit on their chairs!
yes it sounds really stupid and it's one of the many "great" things this dude says! just youtube him!
quick update, I got this reply on twitter after I posted my blog which really is true and I couldn't agree more about it since Gaddafi himself was on the "chair" of power for over 40 years! the comment was via @3abdulaziz :
There's no-one who exemplifies his definition than him, he has been in power (in kursy) for more than 40 years!
cheers,

Nice post Maria, glad you've started to write more frequently again. Gaddafi is a character, as the vid confirms, but maybe in the recent years he has changed a bit for the better? Never met many people from Libia so i don't really know what they think of him.
ReplyDeletethanx Mr.Maurizio :P
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna focus on blogging more often in the coming days inshallah :)
and Gaddafi has changed for the better? really?
even the people of Libya don't like him -as far as I know-
he's really "unique" but I don't think in a good way.
I'm expecting revolutions in Libya after Egypt when Mubarak steps down which is soon I hope :)
I did not say he became a good man...just said a better man compared to 20/30 years ago, so it is a small improvement. Let's hope for peaceful revolutions only where nobody dies.
ReplyDeletehmmm maybe .. and yeah I agree .. hope things can go through peacefully with no damages like what happened in Egypt and Tunisia :(
