Gaddafi says Africans must reject conditional aid

Gaddafi says Africans must reject conditional aid: "Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi urged African governments on Monday to reject Western aid that came with conditions, saying world powers were trying to dictate democratic standards on the world's poorest continent.
Gaddafi is visiting Uganda to address an Afro-Arab conference of 5,000 youths that he sponsored, and to formally open a huge new mosque in the capital Kampala.
'They colonised us and now they're coming with their aid, you should reject it. Any aid with conditions should be rejected,' he told cheering crowds through an interpreter."
