Law Of Karma At Work?
Almost exactly a year ago in 2011, the Libyan Leader Muammar Qaddafi was brutally murdered by a combined force of NATO and the Benghazi rebels. Many people also lost their lives in during those sad and shameful periods in the history of Libya. Here was someone who was providing virtually everything for his people, then all of a sudden, a group of former Taliban fighters whose freedom he secured from the Americans from the Guantanamo Bay Prison, with a condition that he would make sure they do not engage in any form of terrorist activities. These former Taliban fighter were Libyans and they numbered about two hundred.He then resettled them in the city of Benghazi and made them comfortable. Due to their programming at the Guantanamo Bay Prison, the time was ripe for them to initiate their plans for the overthrow of Qaddafi in 2011. How the rebellion started and the subsequent incidents are now confined to the yet to be written chapters on Libyan and African history. Fast forward to the year 2012, Qaddafi's loyalists were just waiting for their time to punish the perpetrators of the heinous atrocity committed on Libyan soil.Someone makes a short film entitled "Innocence of Muslims" which demeans the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), then the trouble begins in the Arab world starting first with a protest in Cairo, Egypt, then Benghazi. In these two cities, the American Consulate in Benghazi was attacked and the Ambassador and three of his staff were killed. The American Embassy in Cairo was also attacked resulting in the removal of the American flag and some minor casualties. Most western powers condemned both the film and the attacks on the American Diplomatic Missions in the Arab world. Then just a few days ago, Omar Shaaban, the man credited with finding Qaddafi in the sewer was also kidnapped, tortured and murdered by Qaddafi loyalists. Libya has not known peace ever since the overthrow and death of Qaddafi. During Qaddafi's rule, not a single Embassy or Consulate was attacked. Now they are blaming the attacks on Al Qaeda. Coming events truly cast their shadows. I think its payback time and they have sent out a clear statement to all those who condoned and connived to murder Qaddafi that, no matter how long it takes, wherever they hide, their time would surely come and would also face the same music. The US should try and give her diplomacy around the world a new face. These are just the thoughts of an ordinary blogger somewhere on the surface of the earth..

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.
