1. Gadhafi admirers recall Gadhafi's support for South Africa's African National Congress in the 1970s.
BUT Gadhafi's detractors recall his support for brutish rebellions in Sierra Leone and Liberia in the 1990s.


2. "Gadhafi's death is a huge loss for Africa and there is no doubt the continent will miss how much he did. He helped all of Africa, not only Libya. BECAUSE Africa did not support Gadhafi when he needed it, Africa will ultimately come to regret losing him".

Businessman Marius Navarro, in the Burkina Faso capital Ouagadougou.

3. "I wonder about the future of the alliance without him BECAUSE Gadhafi was one of the biggest financial contributors to the African Union. Gadhafi helped develop many African countries and Africans should mourn his death. In Burkina Faso, for example, he helped build a hotel and medical clinics.
SO his death is a loss for the country and for all of Africa"

Burkinabe student Assita Compaore

4. "The ultimate cost of Gadhafi patronage is too high for Africa. Gadhafi sold weapons to Africa that Africans used to kill each other. I'm happy that he is dead BECAUSE he was a terrorist. He gave us food BUT later he gave us weapons and those weapons were used to kill"

Burkinabe businessman Adama Badame

5. "The nature of Gadhafi's death makes him a martyr, BUT a trial would have exposed his brutality".

Nigerian human rights activist Shehu Sani, author of the book Civilian Dictators of Africa.
