Apartheid Libya: Killing Africans With Impunity

By Lansanou Keita

09-28-11

Mustafa Abdel Jalil shown with Obama; the transitional "prime minister" said the slaughter of Black people in Tawergha by Misurata rebels was Misurata's personal business

The U.S. played a central role in NATO's war against Libya, which included the slaughter of Africans by Benghazi vigilantes, therefore President Barack Obama's Administration bears responsibility.

While the Nation of Islam was involved in a rally in New York opposing the war --Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke-- one wonders about the total silence by other Black organizations-- The NAACP; The National Urban League; etc. Could it be that the leaders are so enthralled by President Obama that they're willing to turn a blind eye to the slaughter of Black people in Libya?

President Obama has never aggressively addressed the interests of the Black community; so why do these major organizations hesitate to denounce the racist killings in Africa by the U.S.-supported Benghazi vigilantes? I would like to believe that large demonstrations by Black people outside the White House and the United Nations will draw the president's attention.

Also, why should the president take it for granted that he will get strong support from Black voters in the 2012 elections.
Most Black people hold Clarence Thomas in contempt; he is seen as harmful to the interests of Black people. There seems to be a double standard in dealing with the president.

When was the last time Africans in Africa were targeted for killing just for having black skin? The killings in Libya are even worse than the atrocities committed by the Apartheid regime in South Africa; in terms of direct murders.

Why are African nations such as Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Ethiopia, and others groveling before the United States instead of coming to the defense of those Africans being slaughtered in Libya? One point to ponder is that colonialism never really ended in Africa.

The Soviet Union decided to disband --it did not collapse-- to join its kith and kin; the West. Afterwards, the West resumed, as before, the direct vicious exploitation of Africa with the help of corrupt African leaders and governments. The African faces shamelessly replaced the colonial faces of the past. So what's the point of Africa being independent--all that blood and imprisonments of courageous Africans--if it's all a big sham?

If African leaders were serious then they would have long ago heeded Kwame Nkrumah's call for "collective security" and established a continental security apparatus along the lines of NATO. One for all; all for one.

Had such a structure existed, African troops could have been dispatched to Libya to repulse the mercenaries who invaded the continent through Benghazi. NATO never would have dared to invade Africa.

African Americans made the United States and the world a better place by fighting and demonstrating for racial justice. They paved the way for the election of a man of African ancestry as president and supported him overwhelmingly with their vote.

How were they repaid? Africans are being murdered in Libya. Where is the concern for the "legal" murder of Troy Davis and the racial angst felt by Black people on all fronts--economic and political?

Only White Anglosaxon Rulers are good models. They are even decent when they slaughter non-whites and their leaders.
Under this context of ideas there is no good black man or Arab. China is a threat and even White Non-Anglo Russians are a menace.

I want to hear your comments about the genocidal acts in 2000 when thousands of black Africans were attacked and scores were killed and many had to flee Libya.

Your hero Gadaffy was President then. He did NOTHING about this.

Go tell any Libyan/Algerian/Moroccan that they are "African" in terms of having any connections to the subSaharan nations and see if you dont cause another Arab Spring.

They are as racist as any European and lack PC to pretend that they arent.

Lucas. Focus on these and stop irrelevant chatter. Mugabe has reduced Zimbabwe to a begging bowl.

You are blaming Mugabe for 20 year of British Commonwealth sabotage and blockade. It sounds like the USA blockading Cuba to destroy its economy in an effort to demonstrate that communism doesn't work.

when you get the facts correct you can become honest. The blockade of Zimbabwe began much more recently than you describe, in 2001, not 1991...this after Mugabe put his goons and farms. Note that teh white farmers left Zimbabwe, some to other African countries losing little.

It was the black workers on teh farmers NONE OF WHOM WERE GIVEN THESE SEIZED LANDS...who suffered, m,any paying with their lives.

Note that prior to the land seizures Zimbabwe was a NET exporter of food, one of the few in Africa. Now it is literally a breadbasket.

Guess which currency is now the official one used in Zimbabwe. the US DOLLAR...yes after Mugabe destroyed his own currency.

I am black which is why I deplore racvism where ever its from.

http://articles.latimes.com/2000/dec/16/news/mn-761

135 blacks were killed in 2000. They didnt have any excuses that tehse were mercenaries. This happened under Gadaffy who did NOTHING TO STOP IT.

So why do you praise him?

I have referred to this before and you chose to ignore it.

MAybe you arent black so are quite happy to have blacks slaughtered to suit your ideological orientation. Libyans are racists. They were so under Gaddaffy and they remain so today.

Firstly, I condemn any such acts against innocent people. I stated this many times and hav sympathy for these Africans. However, this is what happens when such a collapse occurs. Remember, in the end when Gadhafi was captured, he was with his African mercenaries. This coases a backlash on even the innocent as trust is absent. back in 1990 when Iraq invaded Quwait and the Indian Govt too a position of mediation, 10's of thousands of Indians were thrown out into the desert and left to fend for themselves. You tell me the conflict here "outsiders" are not targetted, especially when it's perceived they took sides.

Anyway, I hope those innocent Africans are protected.

Not good enough. Bray about 2000 and the savagery against blacks just as you now bray.

This is a North African issue. They hate sub Saharan blacks and it has nothing to do with whether they like or dislike Gaddaffy.

Gaddaffy's embrace of Africa came when his own Arabs refused to deal with his madness. Knowing mad men rule much of Africa he launched into his pan African rant, yet did nothing when his own people murdered blacks...no doubt among them Libyans.
