i was watching libyan tv — official state run channel
and there was this song, with a great and catchy tune (in arabic), with french subtitles
“afreeqya ya harra!” — “L AFRIQUE LIBRE” — that is, “a free africa”
and it had beautiful verses, like “the colour of the night is in your beautiful eyes, the beauty of eyes that are black”
or something like that
but it kept showing qaddafi when it came to particularly heroic words and slogans (also showed lumumba, and qaddafi with mandela)
that song is stuck in my head
