Libya behind the news As we share the exhilaration of Egyptians and Tunisians whose power of the people toppled oppressive regimes, we need to take a good look at the real Libya behind the mainstream medias cookie cutter template. When Fidel Castro first warned that NATO was after Libyan oil, the media either ignored him or called him, like Qaddafi, an old fool. But NATO, led by the U.S., does covet Libyan oil, just as we coveted Iraqi oil. And internally in Libya, the issue is not economic disparity of which there is very little but race. Yes, race. Many Libyans resent Qaddafis long, diligent and generous efforts to unify Africa efforts he is loved for by pan-Africans. In his Green Book, Qaddafi wrote that the Black race shall prevail throughout the world. TODAY on Hard Knock Radio, at 4 p.m. March 9 on KPFA 94.1FM (and archived at kpfa.org), a writer who lived for many years in Libya and worked closely with Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael will be interviewed by Minister of Information JR, who, at the invitation of Cynthia McKinney, attended Qaddafis most recent pan-African conference in Tripoli in January (see <http://sfbayview.com/2011/notes-from-tripoli-libya-africa/>Notes from Tripoli, Libya, Africa). The writer, Gerald Perreira, wrote a gripping analysis of the current situation, <http://sfbayview.com/2011/libya-getting-it-right-a-revolutionary-pan-african-perspective-2/>Libya, getting it right: a revolutionary pan-African perspective, thats been reposted all over the internet. Once youve listened to the interview and read the story, I think youll join us and most of the rebels inside Libya in saying to the U.S. and NATO, Hands off Libya! Violence is hard to watch, whether in Libya or around the corner in your hood, but invasion by outside military or police is not the way to work it out. We need to understand the real causes, and the Bay View is here to help.
