African Union have been bribed to turn against Gaddafi. This is an organization that cannot support itself financially, and have to beg for aid. Gaddafi wanted to strengthen this useless organization. The organization failed to condemn NATO and EU for attacking a member state. The organization should close shop.
Gaddafi is truly an African soldier. I salute his courage, Libya belongs to Libyans and Africans. West should stop manupulating Africans for its economic gain. Shame on African Union that fail to stand by Gaddafi. I believe either dead or alive Gaddafi's name will be written in gold.
Ghaddafi is a man of integrity, He is the strongest man in Africa. Our nationalists and other freedom fighters won't be happy to hear that africa is becoming weaker as they allow imperialists to recolonise us. Is it not enough time for us to develop politically and industrially? I now see a reason why AU should mean African Unity in diversity'. Ghaddafi is the African physician and is either the West is jealous incase of future competition with Africa or African leaders are jealous of Ghaddafi's greatness. But this is a shame on africans because we are showing to the world that we will continue to be subordinates to the developed world and don't forget the popular american civil war of 1861-65, french revolution of 1789 etc. Am not encouraging war but Africa is for Africans, Libya for Libyans and int'l organizations(UNO in particular) and other regional integrations for PEACE
Whoever wrote this script is mistaking or probably, being bribe by the evil external world that wanted to totally destroy Libya as they have done in any other parts of the world. With that said, the AU will NEVER tell President and Brother Ghaddafi to step - this you must put in mind. Africa and Africans are no more children and they know what is best for them; and so, UNITY, PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT are what best for all Africans and Africa. Pleasing their enemies IS NOT part of Africa and Africans UNITY, PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT !!
The resignation of Brother Leader would not solve any of African problems even less Libyan problem. The fact that no African Country has offered to help the Libyan People by speaking out strongly against NATO bomb strikes shows how weak Africa is on The International Scene,at time like this most African Leaders are worried about their western aid, not to mention those who spoke against the United States of Africa.Lets face it human rights record aside unless Africa can have more bold and visionary Leaders like Gadaffi we will always be slaves to our Western Masters.Which African country did not get some sort of help from Libya? let me put it another way which other leader was as generous as He? He may seem a eccentric to the western world but does he deserve to go out like thief? Cornered and alone against the bigger Criminals, if that happens to him, how do other Presidents who lead countries that had revolutions plan to retire? We Africans need to learn to want our Presidents to retire alive and well,despite all the bad things they do(half of which is rarely true) they need to retire well and healthy so that they can share their knowledge and experience and lessons so that mistakes are not repeated again and again because the predecessor was assassinated and then everybody has to start all over again. That is how how Africa stays behind,rebuilding making new constitutions, making new flags and new philosophies and disrespecting what was before.Lets learn to dwell on the positive,lets work together to SAVE Gadaffi, he may be slightly older and behaves like older men do but we are Africans unlike the Western Countries we do not throw away our old people.When Ronald Reagan died he could not even remember his name! Did he not hurt Africa? They hurt us, steal from us,and using their so called superior Knowledge and education convince us to abandon our heritage, our wealth.Everytime they bomb Tripoli and another African dies,How do you feel? Have you ever lost a loved one? have you ever been in a war? Tripoli is crying for Africa's help! and telling Gadaffi to go just because The West says so is not the solution, am sure He and the rebels can come to some agreement.VIVA AFRICA.
