Thinking of Libya
« on: January 12, 2013, 09:51:53 PM »
Thinking of Libya. Last year western powers carried out their criminal bombing of Libya to enforce a regime change.  Taking selected quotes fron the BBC news is quite revealing. Here are just three:

"The end of the colonel, captured and killed a year ago this weekend, and the downfall of his family, meant that Libya had the most complete Arab revolution."   Bowen

"Libya has been hit by instability since the overthrow and killing of Col Gaddafi in October 2011."

"Oil production is back up to pre-war levels and some foreign companies have resumed operations - though mostly in the oil sector."

The whole of southern Libya has been ablaze over the last year but there have been few reports. Bani Walid held out for many months until  fighters and people were butchered there. Thousands of black Libyans have been Killed, tortured and thrown out of their homes.  Such apologists as Bowen not only cover over the despicable murder of Gadafi in the "revolution" that they supported but they reveal the racist and genocidal nature of this as an "Arab" revolution. The tribes that occupy Libya are both Arab and African. Much to the annoyance of the Anglo US and French powers Gadafi's Libya had erased that colonial legacy and it was an obstacle to them.  Bowens comments sit well with the fascist logic of the imperialist states who are preparing to wipe out the African people in southern Libya, Mali and Africa. Their henchman and agents in Tripoli openly talk of depopulating southern Libya and even  using tactical nuclear weapons as the British Lord advocated for Afghanistan.

They shall not pass. The Libyan people have one of the most gloriuos revolutionary histories. Omar Mukhta led the tribes of Libya in one of the most successful desert wars against the Italian invaders for nearly 12 years before they captured and hanged him in 1931. These Itlaian fascists were the first to use tanks, bombing and set up brutal concentration camps in the desert for all the fighters families.  This patriotic war was the inspiration in  the defeat of the Italian empire in north Africa some years later and Libya's real indendence in 1969 Led by Muammar Gadafi leading the Libyan Arab Republic and then the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977.  Gadafi later embraced Pan-Africanism and serving as Chairperson of the African Union from 2009 to 2010 and rightly rejected the eurocentric robber powers and turned Libya towards Africa.  The imperialists will kill thousands and maybe millions more people in their plundering of Africa, but they will never re-colonise Africa either in the north, or the south and Africa will rise again in all its glory as a human centred modern civilisation. 

The Anglo US and eurocentric world is led by an elite who has returned to the apes.  Africa is the cradle of homo sapiens.  Homo sapiens will rise again and Africa and Libya will be at its centre.

I wrote yesterday about the US, Britain and France grab for Africa by regime change in Libya. Today, Britain is supporting France's military intervention in Mali its former colony. Cameron claims Brtian will not send combat troops but provide "logisitical" support.   At first they claimed the UN were sending "African" troops.  In truth the situation in Mali is connected with their intervention in Libya, Sierra Leone, Sudan and other African coutnries. It is connected with their grab of Africa's natural minerals and resouces and the ongoing interference and sponsoring of conflict there.  The imperialist system of states have - since they were forced to leave - retained their tentacles in Africa and sponsor every opposition, armed, and unarmed, "democratic", or dictatorial that protects the interests of their monopololies to exploit the African people and its resources. Britain' s monopolies control vast interests in Zimbabwe and sponsor the opposition and demonise Mugabe's government for these very same ends as they demonise any people and governments that stands up in any way to protect the resources of Africa for the African people.

BBC News report  -  UK troops to assist Mali operation to halt rebel advance

Of course they don't want the help Syrian government stop the rebel advance in Syria because they want regime change.  In Mali they want to support the French military who bombed rebel positions on Friday and killed Mali people in halting the rebels in Mali. Of course, they are responsible for all these armed groups in Mali anyway with how they militarised Libya to attack Gadafi.  It a fact that these days these  imperialists set in motion these events to achieve their ill gotten aims and goals but are completely unable to determine the outcome which never goes according to their plans and they become even more empbroiled in their wars and attacks on the people at home. The issue for us remains fight for an anti-war government in Britain.
