In August 2008, a meeting of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers bestowed the title 'King of Kings' on the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

With other news going on that day, it appeared to us that all our prayers were answered and Tunisia would escape the grasp of turning a bit conservative. Read More
