Criminal association. Association de criminels

... to protect civilians... (U.N. Resolution 1973)

Of course, the bombing of Gaddafi's office occurred in accordance with Resolution 1973! 

The most remarquable thing in this sort of issue is to see how cynical brains might behave when they got the feeling that they were granted immunity for prosecution. 

And it is precisely this type of behavior that distinguishes great criminals as the syndicate which has currently the leading part in the U.N., from simple thugs, then  the ordinary thug would always try to take a look once left, once right, and once behind him, as to ensure that no one is  monitoring him. To the contrary of great criminals, who do  not  care at all whether people are looking at them or not,  since they can put their boots on the law, or even spit on it!

That is presently what we have got in Africa's Libya.

... pour assurer la protection des populations civiles (Résolution 1973).


Il faut croire que le bombardement des bureaux de Kadhafi relevait de la résolution 1973 !


La chose la plus remarquable, dans ce genre de situation, c'est de voir comment le cerveau de certains individus cyniques peut se comporter face au sentiment d'impunité. Et c'est précisément ce genre de comportement qui distingue les grands criminels, comme ceux qui composent le syndicat régnant actuellement à l'ONU, des simples voyous, dès lors que le voyou ordinaire sera toujours tenté de jeter un œil, une fois sur sa gauche, une fois sur sa droite, et une fois dans son dos, comme pour s'assurer que personne ne le surveille. Au contraire des grands criminels, qui ne se soucient pas le moins du monde si les gens les regardent, car eux peuvent poser leurs bottes sur la loi, voire cracher dessus !

Et c'est précisément ce qui est en cours actuellement, dans cette terre d'Afrique qu'est la Libye.

And what a feeling of absolute triumph for some great criminals, when they realize that they have got the total support of the intelligentsia, the very one which is railing, day and night, night and day, against the abuses of human rights and freedom!

Et quel sentiment de triomphe absolu pour le grand criminel, que de se voir soutenu par une intelligentsia, celle-là même qui vitupère à longeur de journée contre les atteintes aux droits et aux libertés !

Here we have got Le Monde, the prestigious (and still shrinking) daily paper of the French intelligentsia. One of their chroniclers is the so called Plantu, a famous cartoonist, who is not my favourite cartoonist, I must confess ("... I can't find the "Human Rights" file.).

Some people were killed by that bombing sponsored by the  NATO-UN syndicate; many others got injured. Of course, according to our great cartoonist, all of them must have been guilty to be there at that time or to have belonged to the relatives or collaborators of Gadhafi. Shame on them! 

Now I understand why that paper always loses readers - as most of the French press - and why I buy it perhaps once or twice a year. 

Nothing, but propaganda!

... since they can put their boots on the (international) law, or even spit on it!

Voici Le Monde,  prestigieux quotidien (qui se réduit comme peau de chagrin) de l'intelligentsia française. Un de leurs chroniqueurs est le fameux dessinateur Plantu, dont j'avoue qu'il n'est pas mon dessinateur préféré.   

Certaines personnes ont été tuées lors de ce bombardement parrainé par le "syndicat" OTAN-ONU ; de nombreuses autres ont été blessées. Bien évidemment, à en croire Plantu, ils étaient tous coupables de s'être trouvés là, à ce moment-là, ou pour avoir appartenu à  la famille ou avoir été des collaborateurs de Kadhafi. Honte à eux !  

Je comprends maintenant pourquoi ce journal perd chaque jour un peu plus de lecteurs - à l'instar de l'ensemble de la presse quotidienne française d'ailleurs - et pourquoi, pour ma part, je ne l'achète plus qu'une ou deux fois dans l'année.

De la propagande et rien d'autre !


... car ils pensent qu'ils peuvent poser leurs bottes sur la loi (internationale), voire cracher dessus !

Fort heureusement, et à la surprise générale, l'Union Africaine ne s'est pas couchée, abstraction faite de trois pays prostitués - le Gabon, le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud - qui ont commis l'infâmie d'apporter leurs voix au syndicat onusien, lequel, sans ces trois voix-là, aurait fait chou blanc !

Mais bon, il faut croire que les dirigeants africains, dans leur grande majorité, ont compris, en tout cas, commencent à comprendre, qu'un continent peuplé à 60 % de jeunes de moins de vingt ans ne peut pas être asservi indéfiniment, et que l'agression qui vise la Libye concerne tous les Africains.

Le fait est que les Harkis de Benghazi ont commencé leur "révolution", sponsorisée par le 'syndicat' onusien, par des massacres de nègres dans l'Est du pays, ce qui fait qu'aucun gouvernement d'Afrique noire - nous reparlerons de la prostituée gambienne plus tard ! - ne prendra le risque de reconnaître les Harkis de Benghazi, lesquels y regarderont à deux fois avant de s'installer dans la moindre ambassade en territoire africain !

En attendant, face à l'agression coloniale, les Africains savent ce qu'il leur reste à faire, sachant que nous ne sommes pas loin derrière la Chine et l'Inde, soit autour du milliard d'habitants. Imaginez maintenant que chaque représentant de ce milliard d'Africains prenne une petite résolution, à savoir faire ce que le Mahatma Gandhi avait préconisé pour son pays, en encourageant les Indiens à porter du coton "made in India" plutôt que "made in Britain" (ce qui avait conduit à l'effondrement de l'industrie textile britannique !).

La chose va consister à identifier, d'une part, les ennemis de l'Afrique : ceux qui la bombardent actuellement et ourdissent des plans pour en assurer le contrôle, et, d'autre part, les vrais amis du continent africain, dont nous n'avons à redouter aucun bombardement ni aucune ingérence dans nos affaires.

Concrètement, l'Afrique fait actuellement face à une agression internationale pilotée, voire soutenue par les pays suivants :

Organisation (militaire) du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord (OTAN)

Albanie, Belgique, Bulgarie, Canada, Croatie, République Tchèque, Danemark, Estonie, France, Allemagne, Grèce, Hongrie, Islande, Italie, Lettonie, Lituanie, Luxembourg, Pays-Bas, Norvège, Pologne, Portugal, Roumanie, Slovaquie, Slovénie, Espagne, Turquie, Royaume Uni, Etats-Unis.

À ces agresseurs organisés autour de l'OTAN, il faut ajouter un certain nombre de comparses ou de supplétifs extérieurs, comme l'émirat du Qatar.

Et face à ces agresseurs, il nous sera facile d'identifier des pays dont nous n'avons strictement rien à craindre, qu'il s'agisse de pays résolument non alignés, comme la Suisse ou la Suède, ou de pays au passé délibérément pacifique, comme la Finlande, sans oublier tous les pays à forte diaspora africaine d'Amérique centrale et du Sud, ainsi que d'Asie, avec   à leur tête, de mon point de vue, l'Inde, ce continent qui ressemble tellement au nôtre, avec ce fort soubassement religieux fondé sur l'animisme, et que l'on ne retrouve aussi puissament ancré ailleurs, qu'en Afrique.

Vous avez compris ? Je suis à la recherche d'un ordinateur portable. Ce ne sera certainement pas un Dell ; plus probablement un modèle Acer (Taiwan), ou un Toshiba (Japon)... Un téléphone portable ou une tablette numérique ? Pourquoi n'essaieriez-vous pas un modèle coréen (Samsung), ou finlandais (Nokia), ou encore suédois (Ericsson) ? Une voiture ? Un téléviseur ? Un clavier électronique ? Un caméscope ? Des chaussures de basket ? Des tennis ? De l'habillement ?

De la Libye à l'Afrique du Sud, des Îles du Cap-Vert à Madagascar, et de Sao Tome et Principe aux Seychelles, en passant par les Comorres, si les Africains décidaient, demain..., que dis-je ! aujourd'hui !, de se montrer un peu plus solidaires les uns des autres, surtout face à une agression coloniale, alors cela devrait finir par se savoir.

Les Africains veulent être respectés par le reste du monde ? Mais qu'est-ce qu'on attend ?

Fortunately, and surprisingly, the African Union seemed to refuse to sleep around, apart from three prostitutes - Gabon, Nigeria and South Africa - which committed the infamy to back  the war against an African brother because without these three African voters the criminal resolution would have failed!

Anyway, apparently most of our African leaders seem to have understood that times were changing and that a continent that is populated to 60% by young people under their twenties cannot be indefinitely ruled by colonial powers, and that the aggression against Libya addresses the whole continent.

The fact is that the Harkis of Benghazi started their UN-sponsored "revolution" slaughtering  blacks and dark skinned people in Eastern Libya, so that no African government  - we'll talk later about the Gambian prostitute! – would ever take the risk to recognize those criminals, as we can be sure that no Benghazi's Harki would dare to come to Africa as an ambassador!

Meanwhile, given the colonial aggression, all Africans do know what they have to do now, considering the fact that our population is not far behind China's and India's: around one billion people or even more. Now imagine that each African would take a little resolution, i.e. compared to what Mahatma Gandhi did as India struggled for independence, when he called for his country by encouraging the Indians to wear cotton "Made in India" instead of "made in Britain" (which led to the collapse of the British textile industry!).

First: we have to identify the enemies and the real friends of Africa. To the first group belong  those countries who are currently bombing our country, weaving lots of plans to capture our natural resources with the help of some Harkis, as usual! To the second group belong our true friends, from whom we have to fear neither bombing nor interference in our domestic affairs.

The fact is that Africa is facing an assault that is internationally led or supported by the following countries:

Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States.

In addition to these aggressors we have some external surrogates as the emirate of Qatar.

And faced with these perpetrators, it will be easy for us to identify countries from which we have nothing to fear, being resolutely non-aligned or deliberately peaceful, like Switzerland, Sweden, Finland or Austria, not to mention all the countries with large African diaspora in Central and South America, but also our coming big partners in Asia, at the first place of which I would place India, that continental state, so similar to us with its strong foundations based on religious animism, something that cannot be found anywhere, but in Africa.

Suppose that I were looking for a laptop. It would never be by Dell nor by Apple, most likely by Lenovo (China), or Toshiba (Japan)... A mobile phone or a digital tablet? Why do not you try a model from South Korea (Samsung) or Finland (Nokia), or Sweden (Ericsson)? A car? A TV-set? An electronic keyboard? A camcorder? Shoes? Clothing? Is there any item that couldn't be found whether in Africa, Central and South America or Asia? 

From Libya to South Africa, from the Islands of Cape Verde to Madagascar and from Sao Tome and Principe to the Seychelles, through the Comorres Islands, if Africans decide, tomorrow... But what am I saying?… today!, to be a little more supportive of each other, especially against colonial aggression, then it should eventually come out.

Does Africa demand respect from abroad? What are we waiting for?

P.S. 

You know what ? Palestina seems to hold together, at last! What about recognizing the new STATE OF PALESTINA by the whole African Union?

Vous connaissez la nouvelle ? Les Palestiniens semblent enfin vouloir se mettre ensemble. Et si l'ensemble de l'Union Africaine reconnaissait le nouvel ÉTAT PALESTINIEN ?

Jeudi 21 avril 2011. 

Voici une capture d'écran réalisée, ce jour, sur le site lefigaro.fr.

"About fifty French soldiers killed in Afghanistan since the start of the Allied military intervention in late 2001.  France has deployed some 4,000 troops on Afghan soil." (English text below)

Extrait de l'article du figaro.fr : "Une cinquantaine de militaires français ont été tués en Afghanistan depuis le début de l'intervention militaire alliée, fin 2001. La France a déployé quelque 4.000 hommes sur le sol afghan."

Une cinquantaine de tués ? Voilà qui est fort vague, non ? À moins que d'aucuns ne pensent, précisément, que ce "flou" va permettre de gommer la dureté de la statistique, dès lors que "cinquantaine" couvre le champ allant de 50 à 59 !

Mais pour connaître la bonne statistique, il suffit d'aller chercher l'info ailleurs :

Au total 56 soldats français sont morts en Afghanistan depuis décembre 2001. (France Inter, 21.04.11, 10h02)

Et, pendant ce temps, on reçoit à Paris. Source : le site liberation.fr.  

Regardez bien cette image ! Please look at this picture! 

Ce que cette image m'inspire ? D'abord une petite pensée pour feu Georges Chetochine, cet expert connu de tous les téléspectateurs français, et spécialisé dans l'analyse des attitudes et des postures humaines.

Une poignée de mains sur le perron du palais de l'Elysée, ou l'art de se serrer la main sans se regarder... Pour être plus précis, il y en a un des deux qui regarde l'autre, et l'autre qui pense d'abord à regarder où sont les photographes ! Quel geste de mépris pour son interlocuteur : un pur produit du régime qu'il prétend combattre, et dont on se demande s'il est moins, aussi, ou plus sincère aujourd'hui qu'il ne l'était hier, au sein du régime politique qu'il a choisi de trahir ! 

Pour être honnête, quand je dis que l'homme de droite regarde l'autre, en fait, le regard glisse de manière oblique vers le bas ; les deux visages sont à la même hauteur, mais l'on voit bien que l'homme situé à la droite de l'image baisse ostensiblement la tête, ce qui nous vaut un double réflexe d'évitement particulièrement spectaculaire et lourd de sens !

Le fait est que, dans ce double réflexe d'"évitement", comme on dit chez les comportementalistes, il y a la traduction du mépris, de la gêne, de la défiance, voire des arrières-pensées et de la crainte d'etre démasqué par l'autre.

Le mépris : celui qui reçoit a l'air de dire aux photographes, ses vrais interlocuteurs (!) : "Non mais vous n'imaginez quand même pas que je vais croire un traître (!) mot de ce harki manipulé par Al Qaïda !"

La gêne : ben oui,  médiatisation oblige : tout ça se passe devant une petite forêt d'objectifs photographiques et de caméras. Donc, on se redresse et l'on se dit : "attention, les gens nous regardent ! Essayons de faire bonne figure.". Mais seulement voilà : compte tenu de tout ce que nous savons sur la manipulation onusienne, la confiance ne règne pas du tout ! Nous savons fort bien que le visiteur n'est pas là pour obtenir la protection des populations civiles de Libye, mais pour tout autre chose.

La défiance : le maître des lieux sait qui est son hôte : un ancien du régime libyen qui a tourné casaque. Le visiteur sait qui est son hôte : celui-là même qui déroulait le tapis rouge au dirigeant libyen, il n'y a pas si longtemps. Quant au grand public, il se pose évidemment des questions, surtout s'il a accès à l'Internet !

Les arrières-pensées : tout le monde sait ce qu'il en est advenu des harkis algériens, massacrés pour la plupart, exfiltrés vers la France pour les autres, pour être parqués dans du préfabriqué, de même que  l'on se rappelle encore, un peu plus récemment, de l'Armée du Liban Sud, ces supplétifs chrétiens qui ont choisi de collaborer avec l'occupant, et qu'on a vu détaler dans un grand désordre et quitter leur pays le jour où leur mentor a décidé de mettre fin à l'occupation du Sud-Liban. Le Libyen sait tout cela, ce qui explique qu'il baisse les yeux, trop conscient de ce qui l'attend en cas d'échec de sa trahison, accroché qu'il est, tel un naufragé à une bouée de sauvetage, à un pouvoir français auquel il doit presque tout, et dont le représentant, par parenthèse, est l'objet d'un véritable désamour de la part de concitoyens auxquels il a tant et tant promis, le tout à une petite année d'une élection cruciale... En clair, notre Harki libyen doit se dire "si ce type coule, je coule avec lui !".

Question : que pensent les familles des soldats français basés en Afghanistan, et dont "une cinquantaine" sont passés de vie à trépas, sans compter les mutilés physiques, les estropiés du cerveau, condamnés à consommer des tonnes d'antidépresseurs, la torture endurée par les familles, et sans oublier non plus les otages des Talibans ou d'Aqmi, bref, que pensent toutes ces familles de cette étrange poignée de mains ainsi que de la danse du ventre exécutée par leur pays, la France, devant l'étrange coalition des Harkis de Benghazi ? Curieusement, aucun(e) journaliste n'a pensé à leur poser la question !



Concerning the picture above:

What does this picture mean to me? (…) 

A handshake on the steps of the Elysee Palace, or the art of shaking hands without looking at eachother! Isn't it strange? In other words, the first one (on the right) seems to look at the other one but apparently this one is only interested by the photographers! The guy is actually filled with contempt for his visitor, and is surely thinking: "this one is nobody else as a pure product of the regime he claims to be fighting, and one wonders whether he is less honest, as honest, or more honest today as he used do be in former times, as he acted as an executive in the political system he has chosen to betray.".

To be honest, saying that the man on the right is looking at his partner is not quite right. In  fact, he is averting his gaze and moving it obliquely downward; the two faces are almost at the same level, but it is clear that the visitor ostensibly lowers his head, while his partner is turning his face away, twisting his spine to the right, so that we have got here an incredible double reflex of avoidance. And they should be friends!

Most of the behaviorists would say that this double reflex of "avoidance" is the translation of contempt, embarrassment, mistrust, or even ulterior motives and fear of being unmasked by the partner.

Contempt. He who receives seems to tell the photographers – his actual interlocutors (!) –: "Hey, I hope that you are not thinking that I am going to believe a single word of this guy, who is surely  manipulated by Al Qaeda!".

Embarrassment. Of course, the (mass) media are the ruling power! All this happens in front of a forest of cameras. Indeed, everybody tries to straighten itself and thinks: "Watch out! people are looking at us! Let's look contented!". But the problem is that given everything we know about the UN manipulation, there should be trust for everybody! We do know that the visitor is not here in order to insure the protection of any civilians in Libya, but for everything else.

Distrust. The host knows who is his guest: a former member of the Libyan regime who has turned and run. The visitor knows who his host is: the very man who rolled out the red carpet for the Libyan leader when he came to Paris, three years ago. As for the audience, people obviously raise a lot of questions, especially those who have access to the Internet!

Ulterior motives. Everyone knows what happened to the Algerian harkis: most of them got slaughtered, the rest sent off to France, to be herded in uncomfortable prefabs. We remember also  the Army of South Lebanon, surrogate Christian forces who had chosen to collaborate with the occupier of their country, and who got into a big mess, scampering and leaving their country in a hurry as the Israelian occupier decided to end the occupation of Southern Lebanon. The Libyan visitor knows all that, which explains why he looks down, being too aware of what would happen if his treachery should fail. He must feel himself as hung as a castaway on a lifeline, realizing that he is so much dependent on a French power which can decide whether he lives or dies, and the big boss of which is incidentally the subject of a real disenchantment from most of his citizens, whom he  promised so many things during the last campaign… The problem is that he has not got much time until the next (crucial) election… Of course, our Libyan Harki should have said to himself: "if this one gets drowned, then it will be all about me!".

How Obama is going to ruin his image in Africa 

Sponsored civil war in Libya. How Barack Obama rushed to the aid of negroes' slaughterers'

Titre originel : Guerre civile sponsorisée en Libye. Comment Obama a volé au secours des massacreurs de nègres.

Manhunt in Libya!

Chasse à l'homme en Libye !

A so called 'black' member of the Libyan insurgents. Ha! Ha! Ha! To save his life, did he have any choice? A propos, what is he going to do with his machete? Slaughtering other negroes?

Un soi-disant membre 'noir' des rebelles libyens. On suppose que celui-ci s'est déterminé librement et qu'on lui a laissé le choix ? Cette bonne blague ! Mais au fait, à quoi peut bien lui servir cette machette, à massacrer d'autres nègres ?

And to think that we were hundreds of millions, even billions, to hope in something new, that day Barack Obama was elected president of the United States of America! Basically, we can but we'll just pick on ourselves for having so much hope. Did I say 'hope'? How strange! Could we hope that an American presidential candidate whose bank accounts were filled with Wall Street dollars and who was supported by so many lobbies – for instance the AIPAC - would change anything in Africa simply because the chances of life made that he was born from a Kenyan father? Or because his skin is a bit dark, he would devote himself mainly to the cause of the oppressed of the world, including the former colonized countries instead of just being a friend of the most corrupt Arab monarchs or even the poodle of some cynical leader as Israel's Netanyahu? How could we be so naive?

Anyway, if there were a sign of the mismatch between Barack Obama and Africa, we have got it in the sponsored civil war initiated by former white colonial powers desiring to lay hands on some former colonies, at least on those which have mining wealths like oil, and naturally under the guise of protecting civilian populations. And now people hear that in the "liberated territories" of Libya lots of black and dark-skinned Africans are being the victims of pogroms and lynching.

This issue must be particularly well documented considering the millions of pages found on the Internet. But everyone knows that Obama has no connection to the Internet!

We must admit that America's black president did not know that he was giving a hand to a colonial operation in North Africa, contributing at the same time to the slaughtering of the very people who need the most help in Libya: the black African workers!

Poor Barack Obama!

But why did we hope so much!

And now we have to forget him, so we'll do, quickly!

The following is a brief press review ('web review'!) resulting from a short research of documents on the Internet.

French

Et dire que nous étions des centaines de millions, des milliards même, à espérer en quelque chose de nouveau, le jour où Barack Obama fut élu président des Etats-Unis d'Amérique ! Au fond, nous ne pouvons nous en prendre qu'à nous-mêmes d'avoir tant espéré. Espéré quoi ? Qu'un Américain aux comptes de campagne remplis de dollars provenant en grande partie de Wall Street allait changer les choses en Afrique, tout simplement parce que les hasards de la vie ont fait qu'il est né d'un père kenyan ? Ou parce qu'il a la peau un peu sombre, il allait se dévouer essentiellement à la cause des opprimés du monde, et notamment du monde anciennement colonisé, au lieu de se contenter d'être l'ami des monarques arabes les plus corrompus ou encore le caniche de l'AIPAC ou de Netanyahu ? Mais que nous sommes naïfs !

En tout cas, s'il fallait un signe de l'inadéquation entre Barack Obama et l'Afrique, nous l'avons dans cette guerre civile sponsorisée par d'anciennes puissances coloniales blanches, soucieuses de remettre la main sur leurs anciennes colonies, le tout sous couvert de protection de populations civiles. Et voilà que nous apprenons que les "territoires libérés" par l'insurrection libyenne voient les noirs et personnes à peau sombre être les victimes de véritables pogroms et de lynchage. 

Il faut croire que le sujet est particulièrement bien documenté, si j'en juge par les millions de pages que l'on trouve sur l'Internet sur la question. Mais tout le monde sait que M. Obama n'a aucune connexion à l'Internet ?

Il ne savait donc pas qu'en prêtant la main à une opération coloniale en Afrique du Nord, il allait contribuer à aider ceux-là même qui pourchassent et massacrent - les personnes qui, plus que toutes autres, ont besoin d'aide - les Noirs de Libye !

Pauvre Barack Obama !

Nous avions tant espéré !

Il nous faudra l'oublier – et nous l'oublierons - très vite !

Ce qui suit est une courte revue de presse (revue du web !) résultant d'une recherche de documents sur l'Internet.

Finally, the storyline became too much, and the White House felt the need to push back, with anonymous officials telling Politico that «it was Obama who exerted decisive leadership.» According to Politico, a senior administration official added this: "Samantha Power, Gayle Smith [another National Security Staff senior director mentioned in stories] and Hillary Clinton weren't even in the meeting (Tuesday at 9 p.m.) where the President ultimately decided to move forward and instruct Susan to seek the additional authorities at the U.N. necessary to do what we're doing."

I’m always fascinated by those who are convinced that Obama is being led around by women, specifically by Hillary Clinton.  If she can goad him into firing cruise missiles, how come she didn’t win the Democratic nomination?

Leo Sigh

Needless to say, some British, Americans and others from other western countries involved are asking «How many civilians are being killed?» and «When will the bombings end?» They’re also concerned this may lead to yet another invasion of yet another Muslim country. Something President Obama says will never happen.

(...)

But the most confusing thing to many who are opposed to the bombings of Libya is this. How does killing civilians save civilians? Fascinating logic this American-led campaign has, eh?

After the slaughter in Gaza in 2008-09, the biggest villain to emerge was South African jurist Richard Goldstone for writing a report that cited war crimes by both Israel and Hamas. Goldstone placed the heavier blame on Israel in the killing of some 1,400 Palestinians. (Thirteen Israelis also died.)

(...)

Instead of showing sympathy for the dead Palestinian civilians, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 344-36 to condemn Goldstone’s report as «irredeemably biased» for its criticism of Israel. That overwhelming consensus was reflected across the U.S. political/media landscape.

Libyan "revolution" attacks Black workers

No Tahrir in Benghazi: A Racist Pogrom Rages On against Black Africans in Libya. by Glen Ford

American progressives and peace forces have been in a state of joyous delirium in recent weeks as they experienced vicarious, televised popular victories in Tunisia and Egypt. Watching unarmed crowds achieve tentative victories against entrenched, U.S.-backed regimes produced a kind of giddiness on this side of the ocean -- an otherworldly feeling that, somehow, the foreign outposts of the U.S. empire might suddenly disintegrate by popular demand. But now, the U.S. naval war machine lies off the coast of Libya, and it is time for the American anti-war movement -- such as it is -- to remember who is the biggest enemy of peace on planet Earth: U.S. imperialism.

(...)

It is also becoming clearer by the day that a vicious, racist pogrom is raging against the 1.5 million sub-Saharan Black African migrant workers who do the hard jobs in Libya, work that is rejected by the relatively prosperous Libyans. Hundreds of Black migrant workers have already been killed by anti-Khadafi forces -- yet the U.S. corporate media express absolutely no concern for their safety. One Western report noted that large numbers of Black Africans were seized in Benghazi and were assumed to have been hanged. That is a war crime, whether these men were soldiers or migrant workers, but the Western correspondent seemed unconcerned. One suspects there are many atrocities occurring in the rebel-held areas of Libya, especially against people that are not members of the locally dominant tribe. Benghazi is not Tahrir Square in Cairo.

(...)

American United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, who is at least as warlike as Condoleezza Rice, is visibly eager to invade Libya under humanitarian pretexts. The U.S. is the last country in a moral position to criticize Khadafi for his treatment of Arab civilians. Remember Fallujah, the Iraqi city of a quarter million people that the U.S. leveled after first bombing its hospitals, inflicting many thousands of casualties. If most Americans don't remember Fallujah, the Arab world certainly does.

Fears of ethnic cleansing rise as the Libyan Revolution unfolds. As we and the international community continue to give understandable solidarity to the self-proclaimed revolutionaries of Libya, it is also important that we give equal weight to the condemnation of reported atrocities now surfacing against dark-skinned people (Black Africans) by the revolutionaries, or by those acting in the name of the revolution. 

(...)

These practices should end. There is no place in revolution for ethnic cleansing. Revolution is about positive change. It is about constructing deeper humanity and bonds among people.

I write this letter to bring attention to the under-reported but troubling issue of possible ethnic cleansing in Libya. As the Libyan Revolution unfolds, fears of possible ethnic cleansing are gripping the more than 1.5 million migrant workers from sub-Saharan (Black Africa) now working as low-waged workers in the oil industry, as domestic servants, and as general labourers in Libyan society. 

Black Star News

Black African migrants in Libya are in desperate need of relief and assistance. They are caught between the rock of Qaddafi loyalists guarding the borders and checkpoints and relieving them of what little money they possess and the hard place of the opposition forces who unfairly deem them as the mercenaries recruited by Qaddafi to put down the uprising.

(...)

Many of these migrants are from sub-Saharan Africa, mostly from Ghana and Nigeria, and are trapped between contending forces with few options of rescue, food, and medical supplies. It has been reported that these migrants comprise more than 1.5 million of the so-called "illegal immigrants" in Libya. Needless to say, they have been pivotal to the infrastructure of Libya, particularly as laborers in construction and sanitation work.

(...)

Bereft of funds, they cannot afford to pay for flights out of the country, and even if they could, many of them have no passports or travel documents. In effect, they have been deserted by their home governments and the turmoil across Libya has left them no recourse from the Libyan government.

Meanwhile, international aid groups have been all but stifled in its attempts to rescue the migrants in Tripoli, a good number of them packed desperately in the crowded terminals at the airport.

Compounding the situation is the traditional racism and xenophobia that is a common practice among Libyans who often relegate the darker-skinned residents to a slave status. Even so, the presence of Black mercenaries who possess no ethnic sympathies and at the beck and call of Qaddafi has made their situation all the more perilous.

As nations evacuate their citizens from the violence gripping Libya, many African migrant workers are targeted because they are suspected of being mercenaries hired by Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader.

Dozens of workers from sub-Saharan Africa are feared killed, and hundreds are in hiding, as angry mobs of anti-government protesters hunt down "black African mercenaries," according to witnesses.

About 90 Kenyans and another 64 citizens from South Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Burundi landed in Nairobi on Monday, according to officials.

"We were being attacked by local people who said that we were mercenaries killing people. Let me say that they did not want to see black people," Julius Kiluu, a 60-year-old building supervisor, told Reuters.

"Our camp was burnt down, and we were assisted by the Kenyan embassy and our company to get to the airport," he said.

Rights organisations say that thousands of workers are stranded in camps and private homes, protected by their colleagues as their governments fail to evacuate them from the chaos.

Ugandans Abroad  By Rebecca Harshbarger

Libya’s black African migrants are in crisis, with few able to escape the country’s guarded-borders, while still facing an opposition that suspects they are Qaddafhi-recruited mercenaries, according to reporting by the Black Star News.  On the outskirts of Tripoli, thousands of sub-saharan African migrants have fled to a makeshift camp outside of the airport in Tripoli.  The New York Times reported that the workers have hung blankets from fences and trees, are living among garbage, and are exposed to a trench of excrement between the airport and the camp.

About 1.5 million black African migrants work in Libya, frequently in construction and sanitation as laborers.  Many are from Ghana and Nigeria, working abroad to create better lives for their families back home.

(...)

Since the crisis began three weeks ago, workers have died from hunger and disease in the airport’s vicinity.  Women in the camp reported being unable to bathe since they arrived, others have tried to bathe in the bushes.  Water is very difficult to acccess.  Soldiers rob their few possessions with machine guns, and civilians attack them with knives, taking their cell phones and even their sim cards.  Children live in the camps as well, including babies that are only a few days old.

... there’s one more subject that the world media have seemingly no interest for. Meanwhile, we’re talking about a serious threat to the lives of black workers currently residing in Libya — expatriates from Niger, Chad, Mali and some other countries.

There are more than one hundred thousand of them in Libya and they are doing much better than their fellow African «seasonal workers» in the EU countries. For quite a time Gaddafi has been carrying out «African integration» policy and even hoped to create African Union by the EU example. From the political standpoint, this was, certainly, a utopia that was treated as yet another fantasy of extravagant Arabian leader. However, this utopia was substantially funded. We have to admit that Gaddafi has actually attempted to help his neighbors — and thanks to his efforts, numerous expatriates from Black Africa gained an opportunity to work and even study in Libya. So it’s not surprising that when the riots have started, authorities began handing out weapons to those, willing to fight for the regime and black Libyan citizens have enthusiastically stood up to Gaddafi’s call.

In their turn, journalists of American and European media who continue dubbing Libyan black-skinned citizens as «mercenaries» also have to understand that they are morally responsible for the outbreaks of racism and ethnic purges.

Historical paradox consists in the fact that once again international efforts of the USA and their allies — intended to spread democracy all over the world — are about to cause racial violence, religious and ethnic purges. «Liberation» of Kosovo in 1999 ran into murders of hundreds and exile of thousands of Serbs, terrible acts of violence conducted by the Albanian militants, mass kidnappings for the further sale of human organs.

«Building democracy» in Iraq brought up the massive massacre between Shiites and Sunni, which has already taken its toll of thousands of lives (mind that prior to the American occupation, there was no inter-confessional hatred and enmity in Iraq), destruction of Christian community. 

(...)

Today it only took certain informational support of oppositional actions in Libya, for the outbreaks of racial violence, kidnappings and murders of black-skinned Africans to take place. 

Instead of blaming Libya expatriates from Black Africa of being mercenaries, West should have better considered their fate. Otherwise, ethnic purges in Libya would soon be named along the similar processes in Kosovo and Iraq.

A coming genocide?

About one and a half million Sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees, out of a population of nearly two to two and a half million migrants, work as cheap labour in Libya's oil industry, agriculture, construction and other service sectors.

However, this is not the first time Libya's most vulnerable immigrant population has fallen victim to racist attacks. In 2000, dozens of migrant workers from Ghana, Cameroon, Sudan, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad and Nigeria were targeted during street killings in the wake of government officials blaming them for rising crime, disease and drug trafficking.

As the world marks the 2011 International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which has been dubbed the 'International Year for People of African descent', uprisings sweeping the Arab region should include a social transformation to shift perceptions of dark-skinned Arabs and non-Arabs to put an end to racial discrimination and xenophobia, experts say.

(...)

Otherwise, they warn, a violent backlash by anti-Gaddafi forces in Libya who link black skin with the regime could lead to a massive genocide once the long-time leader is ousted.
