Ghana should NOT recognize the Libyan rebels

It has been 6 months since the intervention in Libya started under the premise of

saving the

Libyan people from Gaddafi who was said to be on the edge of Benghazi with the

intention of massacring his

people. At the time of the intervention

there was no evidence of this. In fact, and his troops had marched all the way

from Tripoli across the desert and put out protest without

massacring the people on their way to Benghazi.

In fact there was another massacre not often talked about. Namely, there was a

massacre of poor unarmed African immigrants by the rebels under the façade that

they were mercenaries, a fact never proven with any empirical evidence. Thus,

it must be asked, what really prompted this intervention? Was it really to save the

Libyans? I am of

the belief that the intervention was mainly to enrich the west by creating a

war in a prosperous country in order to get oil wealth and new contracts to

help rebuild after NATO bombs had blown up the infrastructure.

The Libyan Rebels have no integrity. How did the revolution start in Libya? Some

would say it started with protests but, in my humble opinion it

started with the lie that there were “African mercenaries” imported en masse to

kill Libyans. The question must be asked, of all the stories the Rebels

could have come up with why choose the poor Africans who, like most immigrants,

were often doing the jobs that most Libyans would not do? The answer simply is the

Rebels knew that the one thing that would unite the people of Benghazi in fury was a

story that Africans were

killing Libyans! After all, to them the other Africans were the people that

they were unhappy to have in their country! Not the over 1 million Asians, or

the European tourists but the poor African immigrants! Out of nowhere these so

called “Peaceful

protestors” had guns and were chasing around any unarmed person who look to be

from Sub-Saharan Africa! There were massive arrest and even killing of poor unarmed

people.

Some even went out of their way to post youtube videos of

what were obviously economic immigrants and presented them as mercenaries! The

story was very sophomoric but, it seemed

the world community bought it so easily. More likely this was largely due to

the dehumanization of the African, especially the Sub-Saharan African, for

centuries and which still continues today…

It must be noted that there were some people of integrity

who caught on to the lie. Human Rights Watch a credible organization clearly

came out and said there were was no evidence of mercenaries who had been

brought to Libyans!

The Sad thing is many people were killed by these so called “Democracy

seekers”. This included in excess of 70 Chadian in only one day. In fact, Turkish

construction worker told the BBC: that and I quote “We had seventy to eighty

people from Chad

working for our company. They were massacred with pruning shears and axes,

accused by the attackers of being Gaddafi’s troops. The Sudanese people were

massacred. We saw it for ourselves.’ ”!!!

Massacred based on a lie! 70 in

one day from one company! Massacred because of the color of their Skin! No trial,

unarmed, no mercy, no inquisitive question like perhaps(where is your gun

mercenary?)! Nope! Nothing! Just kill the poor unarmed guy! Democracy indeed!!

In fact, one has to wonder about the many News organizations

who reported on this story! It would

seem at the beginning of the revolution many did not even understand the

demographics of the country! Libya’s

Army had a good number of Black people in it and the Native Blacks of Libya

make up 10-20 percent of the population. Thus, why did the “Democracy lovers”

proceed to kill unsuspecting Black Libyan Soldiers who spoke the Libyan

language sent to restore order? Why would they call Black Libyan Soldiers and

Black Libyans foreign mercenaries?

It is pretty obvious to anyone following this that the Rebels

are not innocent people but, many are blood thirty thugs who took the

opportunity to attempt ethnic cleansing of the Black Libyan tribes. Some even

called themselves “the brigade for purging slaves, black skin.

What started out as a clearly anti-Black movement later turned into an opportunity

to kill Libyan who did not agree with the Rebel ideology. This even included

beheadings!!!

Were

these people really fighting for freedom as the western media has portrayed or

are they radical thuggish Islamist who enjoys killing unarmed civilians and

those who don’t agree with them!

Luckily

Atta Mills took the initiative to get Ghanaians out of Liyba before it got very

ugly and he must be commended for that. Atta Mills got 18,000 unarmed Ghanaians out

of

Libya the highest evacuation

of any country in Africa!

The

Intervention by NATO:

I

am certain Western intelligence sources knew the rebels were not credible and

had numerous thugs’ amongst them but, with no evidence of any credibile threat NATO

led by France the UK and USA started a No-Fly-Zone! Shockingly the No-Fly-Zone was

requested by

the Arab league that did not see it fit to request one for the people of Bahrain, or

Yemen who were likewise being

killed. Instead, the Arab leave gave a green light to institute a No-Fly-Zone

in Libya.

It should be noted that Gaddafi was generally not well liked in the Arab league

because he had on many occasions belittled other leaders and many must have

seen this as a chance to finally get rid of him! They did not do this for Democracy

as most still have an absolute monarchy but, due to petty rivalries that exist.

The good news for them was the simple fact

that the West, especially the countries in the Northern Mediterranean (Europe) had

long been after Libya’s

resources.

Gaddafi

had essentially put in place mechanisms which rendered Libya one of the few

countries in Africa not being “raped”! If you were digging Libyan

resources, Libya was getting

the majority of the money, if you offended Libya

you got none of Libya’s

resources! Common sense stuff but,

assertiveness generally not liked in West were Africa

is viewed as a backyard to “rape” and mock! Libya

essentially was the most free (from external forces interfering in internal affairs)

and rich country in Africa! Thus, the

opportunity presented itself and the West took it!

First

it started as a No-Fly-Zone! The propaganda was Gaddafi was going to bomb the

people of Benghazi

and show no mercy. The problem is there was no evidence of that. As stated

earlier Kaddafi’s troops marched from Tripoli

to the Edge of Benghazi without committing a massacre in any of the cities they

passed through! All the while there was

a known Massacre happening in Yemen

and Bahrain which was either

worse than what was going on in Libya

or equivalent at the time of the intervention! Maybe the fact that they are

allies played a role in getting over looked because; they were not doing

anything different. The big point here is the simple fact that the reasons for

the intervention make no sense! What makes sense is the fact that it is an oil

grab by the west and has little to do with human rights. The problem is, what

started as a

No-Fly-Zone, instituted based on what was largely not proven and what has now

been proven to be mostly lies turned into a No-Walk-Zone were any Libyan

solider who went out to do their job and was spotted by NATO was killed, bombed

to death! Now, there are even special forces on the ground searching for

Gaddafi

In

fact, overall over 1 billion dollars has been poured into this mission and I

can say with the utmost confidence it will be paid back in full times 10 over by

the Libyans!

In

fact, it has already started. There are already discussions about

reconstruction. Reconstruction is where the money is! Thus, if you blow it up

you can build it back and help failing companies get much needed revenue! Guess

which firms are going to benefit? The

same ones who were quick to jump to war on shabby excuses and change the

mission numerous times!!

Let me categorically state once

again that every country that participated in this bombing either implicitly or

explicitly will get paid in full! It is

all a game after all to many of these “leaders”! The rules don’t really apply

when dealing with countries in African and elsewhere which is why money which

was frozen is being handed over to the Rebels… You read that right! A shady armed

revolution starts in a country, a make-shift council is put together, and

countries that see a benefit jump in and kill what some estimate could be well

over 10,000. Then, common sense laws are ignored and state resources are given

to a faction in what has been a civil war sustained by NATO!

In the end, I feel that Ghana should

not recognize the Libyan Rebels because, if this is truly about democracy then,

after they have a credible election that would be the time to recognize

them. I am not certain they can achieve

that with all the arms in the country and the underlying tribalism and other

division starting to surface. After all it is always easier to start these

things than end them but, it in the end the most important thing for Ghana is to not

jump on the bandwagon but, make a decision based on solid empirical evidence

and true justice.
