Bombing for "democracy" in Libya‬‏? One million Libyans say no!

Image via Wikipedia

A Million People March (BBC says "tens of thousands") in Tripoli to  support their leader Gaddafi. The rally is not likely to get much analysis in the western media because the USA-AFRICOM/NATO excuse for removing Gaddafi is that he is "killing his own people" and, presumably, most Libyans want him out--or so we are told. We are not supposed to notice that Gaddafi still has solid support in Libya. Of course none of this is about "the people" or "democracy," its about oil, lots of it and propping up compliant leaders in Libya or a partitioned Libya. And while its distressing to watch the first black president waging a senseless war in an African nation, its not surprising. All American presidents routinely violate the human rights of its citizens [1] and the global community in the service of elite white power.

I stand with Gaddafi...

...and for those Africans who say that Libya is none of our concern, that Libyans are Arabs and anti-black. Remember that your nation might be next if AFRICOM decides they want your resources.





Notes:

1. Despite centuries of black struggle, African Americans were not full citizens in the USA until the 1970s when the Equal Employment and Opportunities Act was passed. Post civil rights, the prison system has become the new slavery plantation. And many Native Americans still live in poverty on "reservations."

Obama kills children in Libya

Obama is now officially a baby killer in Libya. He joins the esteemed company of Ronald Reagan whom he admires so much.  In 1986, Ronald Reagan ordered a bombing run in Tripoli that killed Gaddafi's 3 year old daughter.

"Black" Africans hiding from racist "rebels" in Libya

Aljazeera report on Black immigrants stuck in Libya and in fear of their lives. Early on I felt Gaddafi might be at least partially responsible for fomenting this situation, but I don't think I can blame Gaddafi for these assaults. The immigrants were apparently making a go of it until anti-Gaddafi factions began generalized racist attacks on "blacks" perceived to be Gaddafi supporters. 

One interviewee seems to agree with the rumors claiming Gaddafi hired what some in the media have called "black African mercenaries." But I take that to mean that Gaddafi has recruited lots of reinforcements, including black reinforcements. "Blacks" in Libya have become easy targets of anti-Gaddafi rage. These racist attacks aside, I think it is worth noting that, as far as I can tell--and it is impossible to know for certain-- most of the dead in Libya are not "black" Africans, they are "Arabs" and "Berbers."  View the video @ YouTube - Libya: Scared and in Hiding

Senegal offers land to Haitians that want to come

DAKAR, Senegal -- Senegal is offering free land to Haitians wishing to "return to their origins" following this week's devastating earthquake, which has destroyed the capital and buried thousands of people beneath rubble.
Senegal's octogenarian President Abdoulaye Wade told a meeting of his advisers that Haitians are the sons and daughters of Africa, because the country was founded by slaves, including some believed to have come from Senegal.
"The president is offering voluntary repatriation to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin," said Wade's spokesman Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye late Saturday following the president's announcement.
"Senegal is ready to offer them parcels of land - even an entire region. It all depends on how many Haitians come. If it's just a few individuals, then we will likely offer them housing or small pieces of land. If they come en masse we are ready to give them a region," he said.
He stressed that Wade had insisted that if a region is handed over it should be in a fertile area - not in the country's parched deserts.
Senegal, a nation of 14 million roughly the size of South Dakota, is considered one of the most stable and developed in the sub-region. Still nearly half of working-age adults are unemployed and the country has been burdened by high food prices, frequent blackouts and spiraling energy costs.
Many have criticized Wade for being a dreamer, proposing lofty projects that do little to alleviate poverty or address endemic corruption. Others see him as a statesman who dares to have a vision for Africa.

Muammar Gaddafi Brokers Peace Deal

dig it.

Muammar Gaddafi, self-proclaimed King of Kings, has brokered a peace deal between Taureg rebels (formerly Gaddafi gave material support to the Tauregs) and the governments of Mali and Niger.

Mali, Niger, Tuareg rebels pledge peace: Libya

RABAT (Reuters) - Mali and Niger have agreed a comprehensive peace deal with Tuareg rebel groups under which 1,100 fighters have already laid down their arms, said Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who sponsored the accord.

Nomadic Tuaregs launched uprisings in the Sahara in the 1960s and 1990s, and renewed rebellions since early 2007 against the governments of Niger and neighbouring Mali have increased instability in a region where al Qaeda cells also operate.

Al Qaeda's North African wing has heightened insecurity in the area where international resource firms such as France's Areva and Canada's Cameco have operations.

"It is a historical day and momentous hour as our Tuareg brothers in Mali and Niger have decided to make peace and lay down their weapons," Gaddafi said late on Tuesday.

Gaddafi, chairman of the African Union, was addressing commanders of Tuareg rebel movements and representatives of Mali and Niger governments gathered to endorse the deal at the Libyan oasis town of Sabha.

His remarks were carried by state news agency Jana.
