Gaddafi mourned at National mosque
More that 24 hours after former libyan leader Muamar Gadaffi was killed, the world was still coming to terms with the demise of a man who had come to style himself as the King of Kings in Africa. But while most of the world was celebrating the end of a largely autocratic and rabid rule, here in Uganda, there was quiet a significant number of people who were mourning the passing on of a generous benefactor. Gaddafi's relationship with Uganda was well known and stretched across social, political and economic platforms. The most symbolic of Gadaffi's imput in Uganda are the Gaddafi National Mosque sitting on top of Old Kampala hill and the Toro Kingdom Palace in Western Uganda. The muslim community dedicated Juma prayers to his memory at the Gadaffi National mosque.

On holidays like Eid when Muslim travelers in Uganda Safaris are flocking to the mosque, it accommodates about 200,000 people.
The popularity of the Mosque is attributed to the late Colonel Gaddafi who left a landmark on international politics so whenever people both locals and foreigners hear that he did such a thing as constructing a National Mosque for Uganda, Safaris to Uganda’s Gaddafi Mosque always increase because many visitors come to witness for themselves if actually it exists”

다시 찾은 우간다의 수도, 캄팔라. 관광객 유치를 위해 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 2006년에 완공 후, 2007년 문을 연 이곳은 한꺼번에 1만5천명이 함께 기도를 할 수 있다. 무슬림을 제외한 관광객들은 현지 돈 1만 실링, 우리 돈으로 약 3천 원 정도의 비용을 지불해야 입장이 가능하다.“아프리카에서 가장 규모가 큰 모스크입니다. 현재 국립 모스크라 불리지만 원래는 카다피 모스크로 불렸습니다. 그 이유는 무아마르 카다피가 재정적인 지원을 했었기 때문이죠.” 하지만, 현재 우간다 정부는 이 모스크 때문에 고민이 많다. 리비아의 카다피가 살아있었을 때는 경제적 지원이 충분해 관리가 잘 이뤄졌는데, 카다피가 죽은 후 경제적 지원이 끊겨 관리가 제대로 되지 않고 있기 때문이다. 그래도 관광객들은 여전히 이곳을 찾는다. 모스크의 웅장한 아름다움이 첫 번째 이유고, 50미터의 타워에서 보이는 캄팔라의 전경이 두 번째 이유다. “많은 인구와 많은 주택과 사업체들 그리고 엄청난 숫자의 오토바이 택시가 공존하는 곳이죠.” “관광지들이 아직 개발 중인 것 같고 훼손되지 않은 곳이 많은 나라인 것 같아 좋습니다.”

The capital of Uganda, Kampala. We are making a lot of efforts to attract tourists. After its completion in 2006, it opened its doors in 2007, where 15,000 people can pray together. Tourists, except Muslims, have to pay about 10,000 won for local money and about 3,000 won for our money. This is the biggest mosque in Africa. Although it is now called the National Mosque, it was originally called Gaddafi Mosque. The reason is because Muammar Gaddafi has given financial support. However, the Ugandan government is now troubled by the mosque. When Libya's Gadhafi was alive, he had good financial support and was well-managed, because his financial support had been cut off after Gadhafi's death and his administration had failed. Still, tourists still find it. The magnificent beauty of the mosque is the first reason, and the view of Kampala from the 50 meter tower is the second reason. It's where a lot of people, lots of homes and businesses, and a huge number of motorcycle taxis coexist. I think tourism is still under development and there are many untouched countries.
