11. Just one of the reasons for Libya.

Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency linked to gold and wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar.

African nations would have finally had the power to bring themselves out of debt and poverty and only trade in this precious commodity. They would have been able to finally say ‘no’ to external exploitation and charge whatever they felt suitable for precious resources.

"It has been said that the gold Dinar was the real reason for the NATO led rebellion, in a bid to oust the outspoken leader."
