Why does The Economist write "Qaddafi"?  :-\

In Arabic it is pronounced Ka-dafi not Gha-dafi.

No, man. In Arabic his name would be spelt

The first letter after the Al is k

So its pronounced as Kadaffi since it is SPELT as Kadafi.

Gadaffi is an anglicised version.

And now, why does France24 writes Kaddafi?

Media is set to crush his name...  ::)
