Libya and Africa: After Gaddafi!


The removal of Gadaffi in Libya has it's advantages to others and also it raises some serious questions about how Libya will move on from here. We are all aware that NATO led/backed invasions and removal of governments in various countries has never been for the interests of the people but of the NATO member states' capitalistic gains. As one friend in twitter recently kept it, "NATO is not a charity organisation!'

No matter what US, UK, France and others say about what real motivated them into another costly war the reality will always remain that it was an important war for oil gains. We have worst democratic problems in countries such as Somalia, Myanmar and North Korea, why haven't they do something about it? The answer is only one and that is they is not much to gain from them. It is the saddest truth. So when they saw Tunisia and Egypt true revolutions of the people by the people to the people, they grabbed the opportunity and fueled the minority Libya revolution.With the help of african-disunity as the time of colonialism, again they won it. Because despite Libya under Muammar Gaddafi doing a lot for Libya and Africa continent development still only one country was able to stand up and speak the truth, and that was South Africa.

So the UN was lied to by NATO, the war was fought by the 'rebels' hand in hand with NATO, and now Gaddafi is out, what's next?

I pray we see a peaceful Libya that will be able to continue flourishing and 'stand out for Africa continent' as before[I doubt that], and also to continue its positive economic growth. I pray what happened in Democratic Republic of Congo, not to happen in Libya. There should be no room for back-door financing of various groups to encourage dis-stability while millions of oil gallons are stolen just like blood diamonds!!

There should not come a day that people of Libya will ask themselves, 'What we have done?'.

God Bless Libya,
God Bless Africa!
