na2day!:I rest my case [quote][/quote] 1. The government of sudan came out not only to tell the world that it has no association or connection with the supporter of APC but that it was going to figtht it. The mostly condemned the sudan government for not protecting the people of south sudan. In the case at hand is a different case. 2. The British special force that was send to Libya were arrested by the rebels and not the govenment in Tripoli. Their release was negotiated with the rebels and the subsequently deported them. |

African Union demands 'immediate' halt to Libya attacks AFP – A Libyan woman shouts slogans against strongman Moamer Kadhafi during a demonstration in front of the … – Sat Mar 19, 9:55 pm ET NOUAKCHOTT (AFP) – The African Union's panel on Libya Sunday called for an "immediate stop" to all attacks after the United States, France and Britain launched military action against Moamer Kadhafi's forces. After a more than four-hour meeting in the Mauritanian capital, the body also asked Libyan authorities to ensure "humanitarian aid to those in need," as well as the "protection of foreigners, including African expatriates living in Libya." It underscored the need for "necessary political reforms to eliminate the causes of the present crisis" but at the same time called for "restraint" from the international community to avoid "serious humanitarian consequences." The panel also announced a meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on March 25, along with representatives from the Arab League, the Organisation of Islamic Conference, the European Union and the United Nations to "put in place a mechanism for consultation and concerted action" to resolve the Libyan crisis. The AU committee on Libya is composed of five African heads of state. But the Nouakchott meeting was only attended by the presidents of Mauritania, Mali and Congo. South Africa and Uganda were represented by ministers. The committee said it had been unable to get international permission to visit Tripoli on Sunday but did not elaborate. Libyan generosity and Moamer Kadhafi's role in the creation of the African Union could explain the continental cautious stand, experts said. The AU was born in the 1999 Sirte Declaration, named after a summit hosted by Kadhafi in his hometown on the Libyan coast. The declaration said its authors felt inspired by Kadhafi's "vision for a strong and united Africa." "The AU as an organisation has benefited significantly from Kadhafi's wealth," said Fred Golooba Mutebi of the Institute of Social Research at Kampala's Makerere University. The pan-African body has taken a firmer stance on three west African crises: most recently Ivory Coast and previously Guinea and Niger. Handouts aside, Libya has invested billions of dollars in sub-Saharan Africa. It has interests in more than two dozen African countries, while its petroleum refining and distribution unit Oil Libya has interests in at least as many. The African Union had spoken like Africans, full of corruption, greed, selfishness and had exhibited a high level of foolishness. The action of African Union clearly shows while the people of Ruwanda, Liberia, Burundi, Seria Leon and so on massacred themselves when the international world refused to intervene on time how has the AU been able to solve the Ivory Coast crisis? and Gbabo has started killing his people, if not for the intervention of the same UN. Is it because Gaddafi pivoted the forming of the AU that he should be allowed to kill his own people? Oil or no oil it was a right thing to do. The same thing was done in kosovo, Iraq |

Are the Africans thinking with their elbows as opposed to their brains? This intervention is lawful and appropriate. |

@ O.J Onuh Why are u posting the same thing over and over again? |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by Limaoscar: 4:18pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
The AU has been very vocal in the Ivory Coast issue.I'm surprised you are even insinuating that they did/are doing nothing. The tragedy of what is going on in Ivory Coast is due to the interference of the EU and UN in the elections. I am shocked at your statement. You are Igbo as am I. You should be aware that the same thing the the "international community" a.k.a. western powers are doing in Ivory Coast and Libya is the same thing they did to us during the civil war which caused millions of us to die. You should be ashamed of yourself. Were the "rebels" helped then by the west? Please open your eyes. Above is Crappiest thing I ever read on this thread. If you don't know what's going on Zip it and quit comparing the Nigerian Civil War with the Lybian Situation.
This one from Bechex is a more sensible post. |

I think you lots need to off your Tell-a-lie-Vision, America/France/UK are the ones supplying the middle east the weapons they are using in the first place, They are their for business purpose, Don't get it twisted they left Rwandans to die, Where were they when Omar Bashir was killing over 2Million Black Africans in their own country? This is a war they need to create with the help of the media, the economy is bursted already so they need war to make money and if you dint know how that is possible then you should ask yourself why a bank like Barclays bank manufacture weapons.Its a loose loose situation for the people of Libya. We should all seek caution, this was the lies they told us all before they overthrown kwame nkrumah, history is repeating itself here, the french killed one of the best leader Africa could ever produce in Thomas Sankara. Dont ever believe anything untill its officially denied History we judge us all, Bless scholars |

Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by justwise(m): 4:34pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
deji.ariyo:Rubbish!! who started this crisis? The West? The west did not force the weapons on them, its business, every sovereign country have the right to acquire guns that doesn't mean that it should be used to kill their own pple. We Africans are just too greedy and corrupt, we rather kill our own pple than step down when pple demand for a change. Who in his right mind stay in power for 40yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? When it comes to charity we take our begging plate to the West when it comes to human right we cry imperialism What has AU done since this crisis started?? |

~Bluetooth: Shame on you for this statement. Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_slave_trade An excerpt Trans-Saharan trade The very earliest external slave trade was the trans-Saharan slave trade[/b]. Although there had long been some trading up the Nile River and very limited trading across the western desert, the transportation of large numbers of slaves did not become viable until camels were introduced from Arabia in the 10th century. By this point, a trans-Saharan trading network came into being to transport slaves north. Zanzibar was once East Africa's main slave-trading port, and under Omani Arabs in the 19th century as many as 50,000 slaves were passing through the city each year.[30][31] [b]Most historians estimate that between 11 and 18 million African slaves crossed the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara Desert from 650 AD to 1900 AD |

@Justwise exactly |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by dejiariyo1: 4:45pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
justwise: Take it easy bro, You cant say all what i typed earlier is rubbish, You can tell me its coincidence that 53 African countries cant get things right, Fela knew what was going on and that was why he did the song "Basket Mouth" where he dissed the United Nation, The Imperialist Nations are the one who put most of this dictators into power e.g Mumbarak but you only see their wrath when you go against them, Do you remember the 1986 libya bombing where Gaddafi's daughter was killed during the bombing? common Gaddafi did not become a dictator two weeks ago. I am not supporting Gaddafi but where is Blair and Bush the two warlords that invaded Iraq ilegally even against the will of the UNITED NATIONS? |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by Nobody: 4:49pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
But thiis is the approval of UN,not against. |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by justwise(m): 4:54pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
deji.ariyo:This got nothing to do with Bush and Blair, the action is backed by UN, the West can't solve the whole world problem only, if they do nothing dam it! if they do dam! what have we Africans done for ourselves? You don't expect the West to invest their money. time and lives of their minitary men amd women all the time for nothing. Talk shop is all we get from AU, no action, just hot air. |

Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by 4real(m): 5:15pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
Men are most of you just plain stupid or what, most of you just talk without thinking am sorry to be insulting you guys but God have had it up to my head level, JESUS, first of all what Gaddafi has done is wrong don't get me wrong but if you think the western world is getting involved because they want to free people from Libya you are f--king sick, the same western world that went to Iraqi to destroy the weapons of mass destruction which till today we are yet to see, the only thing we see is there companies going there to get contracts to rebuild what they have destroyed, there companies taking oil and putting in a government that would allow them do whatever they want, there has been on going fights in order parts of Africa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKG9kJeLxP8 why are they not there why Libya simple because of the oil, so open your eyes before you open your mouth |

Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by buzugee(m): 5:25pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
4real:bruv you have to get over your myopia. you are very short sighted. i recommend an ophthalmologic dr. you have to look at the bigger picture here. wealth is useless if concentrated in one hand. this is what obtains in africa. this is why we are all dying in abject squalor, penury and poverty. if it takes an ogre to go in and liberate that wealth from the hands of that one person and then spread it around ? it is good for the world. you have to get over your ego sometimes. let me ask you this, how many rich africans live in america and europe ? how many african scientists and professors and nurses and doctors are paid gazzilions of dollars in the west ? tens of millions. these people would have been in abject penury in their own african countries. so let the ogre go in and steal the wealth from the hogging african kleptocrats and then spread the wealth around. BIGGER PICTURE, EGO ASIDE. THESE MILLIONS OF AFRICANS IN THE WEST MAKE THAT MONEY BACK AND THEN SEND SOME TO THEIR POOR RELATIVES IN NIGERIA. HENCE WEALTH FINDS ITS WAY BACK TO THE POOR IN AFRICA FROM THE THIEVES IN AFRICA. ITS A NECESSARY CYCLE. THE 'OGRE' IS NEEDED TO DO THE STEALING. |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by justwise(m): 5:26pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
deji.ariyo: Is America invading Libya now? America refused to get involved untill the UN sactioned it. Is not America that started shelling innocent Libyans, its not America that used African mercenaries to slaughter his own pple. I ask again: What has the AU done when all these were going on? |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by dejiariyo1: 5:27pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
i can't help but feel that the reporting around libya makes me feel real nervous. i see a whole lot of agenda and with it misinformation too Anyway am done with this thread cos i have seen some people on here disrespecting each other and i guess that is why Africans cant have simple argument wihtout resulting to abuse, Bless you all |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by dejiariyo1: 5:29pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
justwise: Still dodging my question, anyway am done with this, bless you |
Re: African Union Demands 'immediate' Halt To Libya Attacks by justwise(m): 5:29pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
