''Africa for Africans, Europe for Europeans''
just as there are numerous ways to exploit, there are numerous ways to bribe the innocent minds. This does not imply that the Europeans are indeed awful, rather they try to do right things in wrong direction some thing that arise more inquiries than answers.
Since 19thc, during Trans Atlantic Slave trade, Europeans has been major foes for African development. To day we languish in poverty because of historical roots that stem from Colonization, Exploitation and today's Ne-colonialism.
During colonial regime, Africans were colonized through different methods such as that of Divide and rule. The Europeans employed this method as a weapon to dis unite and dwindle African opposition. The colonial government manipulated and enlarged the former mis understandings amongst the African tribes for their own benefits. In some instances, when two tribes were in dissension, the colonial Government magnified the enmity so that their conflicts might mature for their own advantage. Today, the condition prevails in a different way just after flag independence.
Let's talk of Libya crisis, many extravagant and murky and puckish cacophonies are loaming about COL. Gadhafi something that actually baffles me, as any other person who can reason out. The issue of Col Gadhaf to resign is a red line that cannot be crossed, only extremists whose innocent minds has been bribed by puckish tricks agitates for this. Western states are after dis-uniting the Libyans by defaming Their lion-hearted leader and calling for his ouster. Probably might be true that these imperialists are after Sucking Libyan riches especially oil reserves and therefore, Gadhaf is doing what he is supposed to for the destiny of the Libyans. The French, British, Americans should cease their tricks and handle the matter to the African Union to solve.
For the case of Ant-Gadhaf rebels, they should not dis grace themselves by arguing many decades since Ghadaf's take of the country for it's better to be ruled by a single lion than a hundred ticks. Changing leaders for the sake of implementing democratic principles won't be meaningful if the leaders are not faithful and patriotic. And before doing all demonstrations, wooden stupidities, among other nasty things against Ghadafi, what did the Libyans lack? Better social services? Good and free Education?, daily bread? You lacked neither of them but only piece that you are lacking today because of our arrogance. By tracing to the history of many African countries that have been changing leaders at every decade, what did they have in special over the Libyans? Cold wars?, hard life, living in darkness?you did not belong to any of those but if you proceed the turmoils you will be in a red alert.
COL. Ghadaf had helped a number of African nations in their liberation movements. From Nelson mandala's ANC in south Africa to Namibia's freedom fighters, UGANDA'S Yoweri kaguta museven etc they all used his money and weapons. Also when Ghadaf was a chairman of African union, had almost single-handedly funded its existence (Sunday News Feb 27-2011) had he been a bad person could he do a such thing? By entertaining this kind of white intervention in our domestic affairs, will be a day dream for Africa to develop.
Remember the case of USA, it was formally a British colony from 1667-1776, but soon after independence, it enacted some policies for restructuring its economy. One among was ''Isolation policy'' which was spurred by George Washington as a president and Abraham Lincoln as a prime minister. The policy prostrated that, America is for Americans, Europe for Europeans, and concluded that America won't hesitate declaring a war on any power that will interfere her affairs. So this intimidation helped the Americans restructure their economy and eventually took a lead as a world's super power from 1870's.
Now for Africa, we are not powerful enough to declare wars on Europe, but if the need rises to the maximum it will be and this will start from Libya. It is not easy to understand when Obama signs an executive order freezing the assets of this Libyan leader, members of his family and other senior officials. Questions increases when these Capitalists remorselessly bombs Ghadaf's military bases and killing innocent citizens. Where were they during 1994 Rwanda genocide? Why not settling peace in Somalia? Apparently, Somalia as any other conflicting country in Africa has nothing beneficial that's why are given less time compared to Libya.
The Libyans should quit worrying about Gadhaf and the matter of solving disputes be left to five African leaders who had been proposed to sit with Ghadaf, this will work out than European inversion.
