On July 3, 2011 he appeared on Mehwar TV, and commented about aid from the U.S. and EU^[2]:

"This aid does not commit me to anything. If there are no terms, they can double the aid, as far as I'm concerned. The reason is that by no means is this charity. They are paying the price for decades of colonialism. They are wealthy today because their forefathers robbed mine. If not for my forefathers, there could be no modern civilization. This would have been impossible without the civilization led by the Arabs and the Muslims, at a time when Europeans did not even know how to bathe themselves. They did not even have toilets in their homes back then."
