Whereas the conflict in Libya arose over the legitimate demand for
increased democratization of the country in line with the mainly
peaceful democratic revolutions sweeping across the world, it was
quickly hijacked by an armed gang of rebels and metamorphosed into a
civil war with the help of NATO countries that took military action in
support of their sponsored UN resolutions 1970 and 1973 supposedly to
protect civilian lives but inevitably killing Libyans and drowning
hundreds of fleeing African refugees;

The African Union hereby orders an immediate stop to the bombing of
any African country by NATO forces or there will be a complete break
in diplomatic relations with all the countries participating in the
military aggression against Africa. If the bombing does not cease by
the weekend, all members of the African Union are hereby directed to
recall their diplomats from the offending NATO countries and expel
their diplomats from Africa until further notice.

Since the NATO forces claim to be acting on behalf of UN resolutions,
we have resolved to remain in the UN to voice our opposition to this
neo-imperialist aggression against Africa. The arrogance with which
the NATO countries are bombing Africa would not be tolerated by any
other region of the world and neither would the African Union stomach
such a naked grab for the natural resources of Africa in the guise of
humanitarian intervention.

NATO forces have continued to bomb the African State of Libya for more
than three months in total disregard of the reasonable call for a
cease-fire by the African Union Commission, using the excuse of a
resolution by the Arab League as an additional justification. We call
on African Union members of the Arab League to immediately break ties
with that unrepresentative and unaccountable organization which has
never called for the bombing of any repressive Arab country outside
Africa and which remained silent when black African citizens of Libya
were being murdered by racist rebels who dubbed them mercenaries.

Rather than rush to join NATO neocolonialist in recognizing an
unelected band of rebels hired and equipped by aggressive NATO
countries as the only legitimate representatives of the proud people
of Libya, the African Union hereby calls on the rebels to lay down
their foreign arms and engage in the African philosophy of non-
violence as the best way to resolve the crisis in Libya.

We demand that the NATO countries that are bombing Libya must bear the
full cost of reparations for the people assassinated and for the
reconstruction of the homes and infrastructure destroyed in the
country as a precondition before any renewal of diplomatic relations
between those countries and member states of the African Union.

It is a fact that Libya is the African country ranked highest on the
Human Development Index of the UNDP for decades and it is true that
Gaddafi has been the most vocal advocate for African Union government.
Now, the NATO imperialists are taking pride in bragging about
degrading the infrastructure of the country, with the greedy wish that
their own companies would be awarded oil contracts and contracts for
the reconstruction of the country. We condemn such violent greed and
hold the NATO countries accountable for the damage being done on
African soil.

The African Union reiterates the call for a comprehensive cease-fire
by NATO forces, the rebels and by the Libyan army to enable political
negotiations by the people of Libya on the way forward for their
country under the supervision of AU Peacekeepers. The NATO forces
claim that they will continue to bomb Africa until Gaddafi steps down
but as Africans, we cannot accept such an imperialist ultimatum any
longer. It is not up to a gang of imperialist bullies to determine
when any leader steps down in an African state; only the citizens
should decide that through a peaceful democratic process.

We call on our brother leader, Gaddafi, to heed the call for change in
Libya by initiating a process of transition, starting with a national
constituent assembly to draw up a multi-party constitution which would
provide for equal representation of men and women in all arms of
government, give all Africans at home and abroad the right of
citizenship in the state of Libya as a model for the African Union
Government, allow elections to be held before the end of the year and
allow a new leadership to transition in the country peacefully.

We call on all members of the African Union to witness the ongoing
fantasy of re-colonization being performed by NATO war-mongers and
therefore speed up the process of reconstituting the people of Africa
into the People’s Republic of Africa United Democratically (PRAUD).
That is the only guarantee we will have that no small ants, foreign or
native, will ever again attempt to swallow the African elephant
without thinking twice.

When we are reunited as the African republic, citizens at home and in
the Diaspora can move to any state of their choice and settle without
fear, state governors and the president of Africa will have term
limits, we will pool our resources together to provide decent living
for Africans and we will be able to demand successfully for the
countries that enslaved and colonized Africa for centuries to pay
reparations to Africa.

This will be a win-win for the entire world because a united Africa
will be able to buy more from and sell more to the rest of the world
with our convertible common currency – the Afro, save resources by
ending the duplication of foreign embassies and armies by the fifty-
four states, reduce corruption, prevent civil wars, deter foreign
invasions, provide additional internal revenues for poorer states and
foreign aid for poor countries in other parts of the world, and
‘defossilize’ the genius that made Africa the origin of civilization
for the benefit of all humanity.

Call that fellow African dictators "order`s" NATO to stop bombing their colleague in crime Ghadaffi as they know it might be their turn tomorrow.

Me too. I wish the AU will cut all ties immediately. Why is NATO not bombing Syria, Yemen and Bahrain now? Why wait? Why?

Italy is a harlot, Italy colluded with its EU friends in NATO to initiated this attack on Libya.
