There has been speculations in recent years as to the real reason behind the removal of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi with one of the most popular theories being that he was in the process of establishing a single gold-backed currency for Africa called the Gold Dinar. Many conspiracy theorists are of the opinion that Gaddafi's new plan for Africa would have meant an entirely new banking system for the continent which would have taken economic power away from the current western powerhouses and would have dealt a severe blow to the US Dollar-based monetary system.
"He had a plan to create a new African Union, based on a new African economic system. He wanted to introduce the Gold Dinar to back African currencies, so they could become free from the dollar. He wanted to protect Africa's vast natural resources from the Western looting. The imperialist eliminated him," said Koenig.
anyone heard any of this?

I can't imagine anyone uniting Africa.

Gaddafi creating an African currency was a fantasy. Most of Africa thought he was as nutty as a fruitcake.
EDIT to add that the Gold Dinar is a currency used by ISIS and other places. It's an Islamic thing. Most of African ain't Muslim.
And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” -- meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office -- “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.”

What an ignorant comment, how the hell do you know what the majority of Africa thought?

History pretty much shows that anyone who dares to try and back their currency with something of value such as Gold, things usually don't end well for that person.
