Afin de polir son image de marque internationale, il a, dans son intérêt je suppose, dédommagé les familles endeuillées mais, en fait, l ’ extravagant Kadhafi serait totalement mis au ban de la société occidentale si la Libye ne disposait pas de réserves colossales de pétrole et de gaz.
To polish up his international image he has, to his credit I suppose, compensated grieving families, but in truth, the maverick Gaddafi would be totally ostracised by the West were it not for Libya ’ s prodigious reserves of oil and gas.
