– Pastor Martin Niemöller
Nothing has ever been achieved when people keep quiet and suffer. There comes a time when we must speak up and be heard, whether because the suffering gets too much, or out of compassion for others, or for the good of the world at large. We are standing at a crossroads in the world today, where the world NEEDS to hear from Africa. Alas, not a whimper is heard from those that should speak up. So someone else must step in the fray. We are at a point today where those that fight for Africa are being summarily liquidated. Libya was bombed back to the Stone Age, in the words of some racist Americans, but Libya took the whole of Africa with it. The situation is worse, because not only do we not have anyone to FIGHT for Africa, we don’t even have anyone to BEG for Africa.
Everybody says let everything go on autopilot; that the western leaders must be right to bomb the best country in Africa back into Stone Age, and kill the sterling leader who achieved that feat, like a chicken, and mock and sodomise his corpse! Some of us say NO! We must speak up; for the downtrodden, for the thousands of women and children killed by NATO bombs in the name of protecting civilians, for the thousands of innocent men slaughtered in an unnecessary and criminal war, for the thousands of black people killed summarily without record, having been accused of being Gaddafi’s fighters, for the thousands of Nigerian boys whose hands were tied behind their backs and their captors proceeded to sodomise and kill them, for the black cities and towns of Libya that were razed down and deserted. We shall speak up and demand for what is right – a proper judicial inquiry, the type that was availed the Jews after the Holocaust. We say enough is enough! Africa has had one too many wars, one too many genocides, lost one too many of its real prophets! Tribal and religious hatred flows freely on the streets of Africa like water. Foreigners have interloped and destroyed our brotherhood.
That is why under the auspices of THE GOOD PEOPLE OF AFRICA AND THE WORLD, we are suing NATO and its sponsors, at the same World Court of theirs, to clarify for us why they have done what they did; why they have killed a sterling leader and a philosopher king, why they have committed great economic crimes against motherland Africa, why they have pitched brothers against brothers, why they have foisted war and strife for the umpteenth time in Africa, and why they think they can get away with these crimes. A website will be up soon, and those who sympathise with this cause should go on it and register their votes. We have but one life to live, and we should not live that life, being cowed by some bullies who hold the power of guns and bombs. Muammar Gaddafi and his son Muttasim, died heroic deaths, as true men of valour, who refused to scamper away at the sight of marauding enemies. But first let us look at Gaddafi’s last Will;
“This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God’s Prophet, peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.
Should I be killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of Sirte, next to my family and relatives.
I would like that my family, especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honourable image of its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices of the free and best people.
I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.
Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour.
Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honour and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise.”
This is the Will of a great man, not a squeamish coward running tail between his legs.
A great economic fraud was perpetrated on Africa! Libya was simply the BEST country in Africa by measures of standards of living. As an economist, we were taught to measure a country’s economic greatness by the size of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita i.e. making provisions for a country’s population. The latest innovation in measuring development, is called the HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX. Developed for the UNDP – United Nations Development Programme by economists from developing countries in Asia, the HDI incorporates a country’s population, and measures the things that really matter to human beings in a country – security of life and property, education, health services, food security. And by that standard, Libya was listed by the same UNDP, whose western masters decided to destroy Africa, as the BEST COUNTRY IN AFRICA, well ahead of South Africa. Libya was listed in the 2010 report as the 55th best country in the world, on the same chart were Nigeria – yes the giant of Africa, was 145th in position!
One is then forced to ask; what is the substance of governance? Is it not the provision of amenities? What exactly happened to us as a people, with the liquidation of a once-in-a- lifetime philosopher king? Do we have our heads screwed on properly? Why are we not raising hell? Which examples are African countries supposed to copy from now? Why, after this event, does the whole of Africa look like one regressed back several decades? Why have NATO and its sponsors retrogressed the progress of Africa? Why have they appropriated our wealth and stolen so wantonly and criminally from us? Why are they profiting from the innocent bloods of Africans and our leaders? Please readers, send me a text on 08070850159 to know when the website will be ready. Africa must institute a CLASS ACTION (a law suit by many concerned people), against NATO and its sponsors. Many good natured westerners have joined us already. The deep calls to the deep. Let us show the world the meaning of humanity! More next week.
