Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has criticized NATO over its military intervention in Libya, saying the West has violated the UN mandate by trying to kill Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi.


"They said they didn't want to kill Gaddafi. Now some officials say, yes, we are trying to kill Gaddafi. Who permitted this, was there any trial? Who took on the right to execute this man, no matter who he is?" Reuters quoted Putin as saying on Tuesday.

Putin's remarks come a day after NATO warplanes targeted a building inside Gaddafi's compound in the Libyan capital Tripoli.

After talks with his Danish counterpart Lars Lokke Rasmussen in Copenhagen, the Russian premier said the so-called civilized societies have ganged up against Libya.

He seemed to be tacitly inferring that the West is attempting to gain control of the North African country's vast reserves of oil.

The Russian prime minister said that Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa, adding "It begs the question: is this the real source of interest of those who are brandishing their weapons now?"

Since the outset of airstrikes against Libya, Russia has repeatedly criticized the West, saying UN Security Council Resolution 1973, which authorized a no-fly zone over Libya to protect civilians, is “a call for a crusade” and has backfired by causing civilian casualties.

“Surely people are being killed in these strikes -- Gaddafi is not there, he slipped away long ago, but peaceful civilians are dying,” Putin said.

Russia abstained in the UN Security Council vote which mandated a no-fly zone over Libya.

Meanwhile, in a move that will certainly not go down well at the Kremlin, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi recently said Italy will expand its role in Libya by allowing its air force to bomb selected military targets.

And on Tuesday, the US and British defense secretaries met at the Pentagon to discuss ways to step up military pressure on the Gaddafi regime, the US Defense Department said.

They look 'Hausa' therefore they are Guilty until Proven Innocent -  

GEJ should adjust the 'excel' program accordingly.

We go show these people.

But what he's saying is correct - NATO / EU have taken the p.iss out of the whole world.

Obama better answer the guy sharpish,

I cant wait for GEJ to start flexing his muscles -

Is Christianity a big problem in Nigeria?

He wont enjoy that level of support next time around.

He's been a big anti-climax.

All communication channels are monitored including forums and newsgroups.

Even mobile phones now contain tracking software that automatically send data back to intelligence agencies.

Things we take for granted like search engines are also monitored for trends - eg through google the intelligence agencies can monitor things such as the outbreak of dieseases,

Google is like the worlds brain.

Facebook is probably the worst communication tool that can be used. That's as good as owned by the US Govt and is heavily used for intelligence gathering.

Increasingly forums/facebook/social networking are being used to manipulate users.

Lets find out

I am going to shoot Obama tomorrow -

Fed Govt or Nigerian Embassy in London need to get involved.

I don't have any training in intelligence gathering or analysis, but one thing that suggested to me that the Northern riots were the handiwork of politicians controlling and directing the imams was that when the rioters were shouting  "sai buhari" they did not say anything about his stance against corruption or his leadership qualities.  What they actually said what that they don't want "an unbeliever" like Jonathan Goodluck.  Notice also that they were burning churches and attacking Christians whom they consider to be "infidels" which is in line with what they had learnt from the imams who conduct their religious education.   Finally they also attacked Northern PDP leaders and traditional rulers whom they consider to have supported the candidacy of an infidel like Goodluck.   On the other hand they did not attack any imam or religious leader! Not  a single one.   As such what we have seen  in the North are politicians working hand in hand with religious leaders to unleash a campaign of terror and intimidation on political opponents.   In my view one way to limit the activities of these opportunists is to licence the imams who take on almajiri students and compel them to allow their students to receive vocational instruction and training.   In addition their teachings and activities should also be closely monitored but I doubt whether there is any political will in the North to implement these changes.  After all once the Almajiris become enlightened and acquire skills for the job market, who will do the politicians dirty job?

It all boils down to complete ignorance.

All northerners under the age of 65 should be educated/ re-educated by force by a Southerner.

He should be placed under house arrest immediately.

The Federal Govt should assist the UN to guarantee his swift transfer to the Hague.

This whole thread is ridiculous. Secession would not hurt food prices in the south one bit if the split is peacefull. When the country splits the currency of 'buharistan' will be almost worthless, and the south can proceed importing the food at lower prices than they did before. Much like Nigeria currently imports food from Niger.

1. The infrastructure for food importation is already in place.

2. The N. Nigerians need this source of revenue so they will continue to sell to the highest bidder (the south)

3. There will be no duties or tarriffs on N. Nigerian products.

My only problem with secession is that the N. Nigerians will probably starve.

Correct,

Where else will they sell their produce too?

Chad?

Nigeria doesn't need a 'Hezbolah' type party on its shores.

Let the food rot up there,

Please accept my sympathy Pastor Bakare, nobody wishes is enemy evil.God will console you and give you the best in replacement. I can't wish you ill becuase heaven is reality and I will not want to miss it. Life is vanity, position, wealth and all the glamour will go one day. Please don't think it is political.Proverb 24:17-18, rejoice not when your your enemy falleth(or evil happened to him and let not God be glad when he stumbleth. Lest the Lord see it and it displease him and turn away his wrath from him.

I have no sympathy for him - he needs to go and reflect on his numerous sins.

Beware of 'False Phrophets'

Useless 'Howsa' pricks,

(Please note the new spelling of Howsa)

I also prefer - Fulani

In a court of law or a barbaric 'Sharia' court?

As I have already stated, if the case is heard in a Sharia court Buhari will be awarded compensation for the murders.

Whoever brings the case against him will have to pay Buhari 72 virgins for every person killed in the North.

In 'Sharia court'?

Afterall the crimes took place in a 'Sharia' juristiction.

I dont rate your chances - murder is probably legal in Sharia law.

You may end up having to pay for/supply 72 virgins to Buhari in compensation.

As if hard-wired for theft of other people's lands, the European Union is preparing to put thousands of its once-and-forever colonial boots on the ground in Libya. "The mass ground onslaught may well commence with the imminent deployment of the European Union’s so-called 'battle groups' – multinational military units of about 1,500 men each." Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi, who had earlier offered to accept some humanitarian assistance in Misrata, vowed to fight any foreign soldiers on Libyan territory.


"They seek to land a "battle group" in Misrata under humanitarian pretenses, and then inevitably clash with Gaddafi’s soldiers dug in nearby."

The official Euro-American invasion of Libya is about to begin. I say "official" invasion because the Europeans and Americans already have boots on the ground making bloody footprints in Libya, from U.S. Special Ops and CIA, British Special Air Services commandos, and their French counterparts. The news media of the invader countries know their armed forces are active on Libyan soil, and occasionally report as much. But they dutifully await announcements from their governments that the "real" invasion has, officially, begun.

That time is near. The British announced they are sending a ten-man military adviser team to help the rebels. The French, who were obscenely quick to recognize the rebels’ so-called National Transitional Council as a kind of government, already have military advisors in Benghazi. The American CIA and the Saudi Arabians are thought to be truly in on the ground floor, having sponsored and financed Khalifa Haftar, the Libyan exile who formed the so-called Libyan National Army that has been trying to mount an armed revolt against the government in Tripoli for more than 20 years.

The mass ground onslaught may well commence with the imminent deployment of the European Union’s so-called "battle groups" – multinational military units of about 1,500 men each. The 27-nation European Union had been discussing ways to insinuate a force into Libya since the beginning of April. Unexpectedly, Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi agreed in principle to allow international humanitarian personnel to aid civilians in the contested port city of Misrata. Quickly, the Europeans seized on Gaddafi’s statement as an excuse to send up to 1,000 men on an assignment that could only be accomplished by a large ground military force operating with close air support. The EU battle group would secure the port facilities, which are now held by rebels, and then create land corridors into and out of the city, much of which is held by loyal Gaddafi soldiers whose lines would have to be crossed.

"The Europeans seized on Gaddafi’s statement as an excuse to send up to 1,000 men on an assignment that could only be accomplished by a large ground military force operating with close air support."

Remembering that once you give the former colonialist an inch, he will take your whole country, Col. Gaddafi vowed that he would fight any foreigner soldiers that attempted to land on Libyan territory, no matter what they claimed their mission was.

The European scheme is transparently cynical. They seek to land a "battle group" in Misrata under humanitarian pretenses, and then inevitably clash with Gaddafi’s soldiers dug in nearby. That will be the beginning of the European’s multinational land invasion, with thousands of troops arriving in Libya in short order. The siege of Tripoli will begin, if the regime holds out, and if not, then begins the guerilla war or, as the Euro-Americans like to call it when they steal someone else’s country, the "insurgency."

The U.S. Africa Command, AFRICOM, used to worry about getting permission to open an office on African soil. Soon, it may be operating from one of the largest countries on the continent.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=651724.msg8177044#msg8177044 date=1303414993]I agree.

Nigeria has a very fertile soil. I believe if we use our full potential, the money we could be earning from Agriculture/exports could be worth more than the oil money.

Nigeria is very diverse, foreigners are in love with cultural diversity. Showcasing cultural diversity to tourists is another way to make money.[/quote]You do know nairaland has a 'Jokes' section.
