Summary

Attention dear listeners – there’s been a small change in scheduling as Aimen has unfortunately been incapacitated and unable to record our fourth episode on Sudan. But don’t fret – Aimen is on the mend and will be back bringing us all more incredible insight and anecdotes about the Middle East very soon… So this week, we’re returning to an episode from Season 3 about our old friend, Colonel Gaddafi of Libya. If you’ve been listening closely to this season, you’ll remember that Gadaffi has been intimately involved in the 20th century story of Sudan, turning up to stir the pot and influence events there at every opportunity. So while you wait for our final episode on Sudan, we thought we’d bring you this episode as a brilliant refresher on another African country with vital links to Sudan, exploring how Gaddafi attempted to create his own revolutionary African Empire and the consequences across the region. New Conflicted Season 5 episodes will be coming every two weeks, but if you want to have your Conflicted fix every single week, then you’ll have to join our Conflicted Community. Subscribers will get bonus episodes every other week, and can also join our Conflicted Community chatroom, where you can interact with fellow dearest listeners, discuss episodes past and future, get exclusive messages from Thomas and Aimen, ask future Q&A questions and so much more.

0:00.0	Hello there, dear listeners. Thomas here with a quick heads up.
0:05.0	Aeman suffered a pretty grievous injury last weekend.
0:09.0	No, not an assassination attempt.
0:12.0	At least I don't think it was an assassination attempt.
0:12.8	At least I don't think it was an assassination attempt.
0:15.7	Perhaps we'll let him tell the story when he's back in action.
0:20.2	But that's the point really.
0:21.3	He hasn't been in any state to record the fourth part of our sedan series.
0:26.0	So you'll just have to wait a little longer to learn how all the different threads of sedan's modern history converged on the country falling
0:35.0	into Civil War last year.
0:37.5	In the meantime, we've decided to re-release an episode from season 3, one of our most entertaining I think entitled
0:45.3	Gaddafi the Arab madman cometh if you've been paying attention to our sedan
0:50.6	series you'll have noticed that the always saying never ridiculous
0:55.1	Colonel Gaddafi has made a few appearances.
0:58.0	sedan was not only in Gaddafi's backyard but it also borders the huge country of Chad on which
1:06.0	Gaddafi had specific designs, all of this within the context of Gaddafi's
1:11.1	ultimately futile attempt to carve out a revolutionary African empire for himself,
1:17.7	with himself, as its supreme brotherly leader or whatever absurd title he'd have given himself.
1:24.6	So with Aeman still recovering, this gives you a chance to refresh your memory about the
1:29.6	history of Libya, as it is an African country and a very important one at that it fits right
1:35.8	into season five which is all about Africa. Don't worry Amun is on the, and so all new episodes will be resuming very soon.
1:46.7	For now, sit back, dear listener.
