Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has said he would like a United States of Africa to include “Caribbean islands with African populations”.Col Gaddafi, speaking in Tripoli as the African Union’s (AU) new chairman, said this could include Haiti, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
The Libyan leader also sympathised with Somali pirates, describing their actions as self-defence.
Last week he said that multi-party democracy was not right for Africa.
Col Gaddafi’s critics believe he is too erratic to be chairman of the 53-nation AU.
A week into his appointment his agenda for Africa is expanding and his views remain as controversial as ever to some people.
But the response from many of his fellow African leaders was lukewarm, with some saying the proposal would add an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
