Mugabe protests over way his close ally Gaddafi was killed
 [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Zim-bob-we President Bob MuggsyMugabe Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case... had serious differences with the slain Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qadaffy ... one of those little rainstorms from the Arab Spring... but it also against the way he was eliminated, the veteran ruler has said. Collar feeling a little tight, Bob? Col Qadaffy was killed on Thursday weeks after his 42 year old administration collapsed under the weight of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... led President Mugabe had always been considered an ally of the late Libyan leader and is one of the few African leaders who strongly criticised NATO's involvement in the North African country's civil war. "There were serious differences, founded on principle, between President Mugabe and Col Qadaffy," the president's spokesmen Mr George Charamba told the state owned Mail newspaper. "President Mugabe did not agree with Col Qadaffy when he opened his system to the West from the military to the economy, in the name of rapprochement." He said the Zim-bob-wean ruler himself in power since 1980 and accused of committing atrocities against his own people also did not agree with the eccentric Libyan leader's concept of a United States of Africa.
