Yeah, he got ventilated with AK bullets.

0:03.2

Weird how often that seems to happen in the course of politics during this period.

0:07.9

Yeah, it's theory. It's the only two kinds of theory that matters. Does it grow food and is it

0:13.7

belt fed? It's the only theory I don't know. Jesus fuck.

0:20.2

And then a guy named General Felix Malum took power. The next year in 1976, Gaddafi also

0:27.6

attempted to kill Malum. The man has nothing if not consistent. He failed on that too. Maybe he

0:34.0

needs a higher better hitters. He only can apparently blow civilian airliners out of the sky or

0:38.0

blow up nightclubs. He can't like assassinate a guy. Should have hired some green braze.

At the same time, he began once again supporting the Froly Nat. This time, Libby and soldiers

hated Libya even more. Because they wanted a liberation group. They didn't want to be subservient

1:37.5

to some asshole in a different country. He saw Gaddafi as probably not being the guy that was

1:43.1

going to bring the freedom and liberation that they had always talked about. So Habre joined the

1:48.0

government. He struck a deal with Malum, becoming his prime minister. Gaddafi saw this as what

1:55.7

it was, a huge fuck you to his plans. The reason for this was he was framing himself as the Muslim

2:02.9

liberator of Chad. And pointing a finger at the Chidean government like, look, they don't give a

2:09.0

fuck about you. They're not putting any Muslims in power. They don't even want to speak Arabic.
