Who will follow Qaddafi?

It has now emerged that most of the Libyan Rebels or the NTC Forces were Mujaheddin fighters for the Taliban in Afghanistan. They were detained by the US at the Guantanamo Bay Prison. Qaddafi reached a deal with the Americans for their release as most of them were Libyans. He brought them back to Libya and gave each one of them $50,000, decent accommodation and a car. They were even met at Tripoli... Airport by their families. After some years, they turn around and overthrow Qaddafi. This was an act of betrayal. When Hillary Clinton was quizzed by Congress, she said it was a marriage of inconvenience. This shows that the Americans knew what they were doing when they released the men from the Guantanamo Bay Prison. Qaddafi swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker. This was a seriuos act of betrayal on the part of the freed Libyan fighters. I presume the Americans knew what they were doing when they released these fighters. Who will be the next in line to follow Qaddafi? Let me make some suggestions, Syria, Zimbabwe and Yemen have also been on the radar of the Americans for a long time, but looking at what is happening  in Syria at the moment, that country will be the next target. The opposition in that country is calling on the UN Security Council to impose a No Fly zone over Syria. This will definetly set in motion the eventual departure of Bashir Al Assad. Moreover, there are some oil deposits in Syria, this will be an underpinning motive to invade that country under the guise of protecting the citizens of that country. Yemen has endured their president for a long time and the protests have been going on for some time now with many people being killed everyday, but the whole world seems to be quiet about the situation in that country. Is it because not much resources will be gotten from there though some oil deposits have been found there? Zimbabwe for now is a no go area as they know there is no oil there for them to go and exploit, Mugabe can be rest assured that he will live to see the next elections in his country. Whoever follows Qaddafi should be rest assured that he has gone to prepare a better place for him. May he rest in peace, Brother Muamar Qaddafi.

Tribute to Brother Moamar Gaddafi.

...Col, Gadhafi and Libya...
1.There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens
2. There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law
3. Houses considered a human right in Libya –Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent
4. All newly weds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%
6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick-start their farms –all for free
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance
8. In Libya, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price
9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 (N22) per litre
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens
13. A mother who gives birth to a child receives US$5,000
14. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country
So What's the Problem with Libyans?
Where will the Libyans get money to fund the reconstruction of the once peaceful country. I am still surprised as to the way all the African leaders have decided not to comment on Gaddafi's death. It is a shame he had to die this way. Was he not liable to a fair trial as specified in the UN Convention? Most of the Western leaders have made statements commending the NTC Forces and NATO for ensuring the death of Gaddafi. Did i hear US President, Barack Hussein Obama say that the world will now be a safe and peaceful place with the killing of Gaddafi? Thats just the beginning of more terror attacks  and kidnappings and chaos all over the world. For the African Union, in my opinion, this bogus organization should be disbanded. Now that their chief financier is no more, where is the AU going to get funds to organize their meetings and conferences. May Brother Colonel Moamar Gaddafi rest in peace. Mother Africa has once again lost a visionary.

Veto Power.

Once again the world has witnessed the calling of the bluff of the Americans and their western Allies by the Russians and Chinese. This was done at the UN Security Council meeting. The Russians and the Chinese used their veto power to block a set of resolutions being tabled by the Americans and their European Allies on the situation in Syria. I applaud the Chinese and the Russians for that. It is high time that the Americans and their European Allies are made to know that they are not alone in the world. The days that unilateral decisions were taken should be done with. These decisions have caused a lot of harm and death in many countries that America nad her European Allies have intervened militarily under the guise of protecting the civilian population in these countries. Examples could be made of their intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Somalia and quiet recently Libya. This carnage would have been extended to Syria if not for the veto of the Russians and the Chinese against the resolution which was initially strongly worded, but had to be toned down after the Russians and the Chinese complained about it. Now the Americans and their European Allies are calling the veto of the Chinese and the Russians against the rsolution all sorts of names. Why was America not criticised when she threatened to use her veto power against the Palestinian bid for statehood at the UN? Is Palestine not part of the world? Syria, i know for sure is the next target on the list of the Americans and their European Allies or NATO. The Russians and the Chinese must be commended for blocking this move. The Americans and their European Allies ahve a bad track record of causing more desolation in any country that they have intervened. I pray and hope the Syrian situation would be reslved peacefully, but who knows if those formenting the troubles over there are being sponsored by foriegn elements or powers, since before the Libyan situation got out of hand, certain world powers had their intelligence operatives on the ground in Libya laying the foundation for the overthrow of Colonel Moammar Gaddafi. This "Disease" must be prevented from spreading to other parts of the world.
