At least if we are to believe this article:
Gaddafi's daughter thrown out of Algeria after she 'set fire to presidential residence' - Telegraph Quote:
Algeria's ambassador to Libya confirmed last month that Col Gaddafi's widow and three of his children including Aisha, had left Algeria "a long time ago" without giving further details.
It has now emerged that Algerian authorities lost patience with Miss Gaddafi, a onetime UN Goodwill Ambassador, after she kept vandalising furniture and attacking guards out of rage over her father's fate.
"She ended up blaming Algeria for many of her problems, and also began starting fires in the house," said a government source in Algiers.
"Shelves in the library went up in flames, as she regularly attacked army personnel looking after her safety." The last straw was when the bleach blonde nicknamed the "Claudia Schiffer of North Africa" destroyed a portrait of Algerian president Abdul Aziz Bouteflika, local newspaper Ennahar reported.

That article stated that she left Algeria for Oman. So I looked for reports of her being there.

Asked why the Omani government had only just admitted harbouring the family, a foreign ministry source said: 'There was no need for the world to know about this humanitarian gesture.'

Times of Oman | Breaking News, Features, Columns, Your Voice & Multimedia... -- Sultanate grants asylum to Gaddafi's family Quote:
"The family has been given asylum since last October, purely on humanitarian grounds," the Foreign Ministry source told a correspondent of Al Shabiba, a sister publication of Times of Oman. ...
Quoting a well-informed Libyan source, a report had appeared in a regional daily that "an Arab country" had granted political asylum to Muammar Gaddafi's widow, Safia Farkash, his children — Aisha, Mohammed, and Hannibal — and their children.

The source added that the Gaddafi family members have pledged not to get involved in any anti-government, political or media activity while they are present in the Sultanate.

Sort of like what they had pledged in Algeria. They are moving from one gilded cage to another one, it almost seems.
This move had supposedly taken place with the full knowledge of the Libyan and Algerian authorities, complete with the family being given diplomatic passports. Libyan ones?
Going to Oman was because these family members prefer going to an Arab country rather than to an African or European one.
Aline Skaff, Hannibal Khadafy's wife, has returned to Lebanon with her son, but the rest remain in Oman, living in a diplomatic enclave. Saadi Khadafy is reportedly planning to move from Niger to somewhere else to escape Libyan extradition attempts, either to Oman or to another African country.
I'm posting this because Aisha Khadafy seems to have the most ideological zeal of her father's children, and I find what's happened to her rather interesting. I'm thinking that if anyone is likely to lead a Khadafy comeback, it would be her.
