Why Muammar Gaddafi's daughter was booted out of Algeria

Aisha, daughter of the late Libyan leader, is said to have been thrown out of Algeria for setting fire to her safehouse and burning a picture of the country's president

...
And you keep looking over your shoulder. Is something amiss? No, not at all. She's not behind me, is she?

No. This wouldn't be anything to do with the fact that she is the daughter of the late, apocalyptically cruel and violent Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, would it? Actually, it is more the fact that she seems to resemble him so much in temperament and unbridled aggression. She has been expelled from the presidential palace that has been her safehouse in Algeria since she and other family members fled Libya in 2011, reportedly for setting fire to it.

No! Yes, "repeatedly". Plus, they say she keeps attacking her army bodyguards. The final straw was when she burned a picture of the Algerian president.

That would be terribly bad form, even for a paying guest. It is hardly what you would expect from a lawyer and former UN goodwill ambassador, which is what Aisha is, but it is probably fair to say that she constitutes an exceptional case.

I would have loved to see what she did as a 'goodwill ambassador'.

Ayesha Gaddafi was appointed as the United Nations Development Program National Goodwill Ambassador for Libya on 24 July 2009, primarily to address the issues of HIV/AIDS, poverty and women's rights in Libya, all of which are culturally sensitive topics in the country. In February 2011 the United Nations stripped Ayesha of her role as a goodwill ambassador.
