*9.11 WITH SAMIR AMIN*
"Libya is something very different from what happened in Egypt and Tunisia. It was not a pacific demonstration of people. It was, from the very start, armed groups against other armed groups, the regime. I'm not at all defending Gaddafi, but what is very specific of the case of Libya is that the so-called opposition, *armed* from the first minute, *called* NATO to their rescue. The target here . . . is not only oil, because they already have control of this oil, but more importantly water, the immense water resources of Libya. . . . And a third is to establish in Libya permanent US military bases, in order for AFRICOM, which is still based in Stuttgart, Germany, to be based in Africa. That is a direct menace against Egypt, against Algeria, . . . and against the countries of the African Sahel." -- Samir Amin Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqngaawzAoI&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmrzine.monthlyreview.org%2F&feature=player_embedded ------------------------ *Samir Amin is a Marxist economist. was sponsored by **Brecht Forum*<http://brechtforum.org/911-samir-amin> * on 11 September 2011.
