Gadhafi also urged African countries to overcome past failures during a rambling speech that lasted more than 30 minutes, which received muted applause from leaders of African states.
'Pleading to the G-8 to lift debts won't make a future for Africa,' said Gadhafi, wearing his traditional African dress while praising Africa's natural resources and treasures. 'We need cooperation between the big and the small countries in the world.'
'Begging won't make a future for Africa,' he added."
