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.
