When a leader that is abhorred by the US and its allies ids toppled, chaos ensure
I was much younger when Saddam Hussein failed to annex Kuwait in 1990. With his allies, George Bush senior, drove Saddam's troops away from Kuwait and latter announced victory. This was as true as Bamba Ndwandwe once remarked "friends today are enemies tomorrow". The erstwhile ally of US had been a its foe ostensibly of selfish US interests in the oil deposits that God has endowed on Arabs.The bin ladens, needless to mentioned, they fought proxy war funded by the CIA to drive out the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan. Jonas Savimbi, Mobutu Sese seko and others is just a handful people that can be cited. These people received patronage from the US. Today, as we speak, the champion of African unity, Gaddafi has fallen, with much varied commentaries of his 42 years of rule in Libya. The US and its allies continue with their endless pursuit of their interests in Libya. It appeared as if South Africa would defy further US and West imperialism. However, such defiance had a short shelf life; reports are that South Africa has finally yielded to a pressure from the West to agree with the unfreezing of Libyan assets to the rebels. I expect South Africa to yield again to the next demand. We don't know what that demand going to be. What is remarkable is a statement emitted by the British Defense Secretary Liam Fox. Fox misleads the world when he spoke to the radio, he said"They wanted the world at one point to stand with them against apartheid,"... I think they now need to stand with the Libyan people, help unfreeze their assets and allow their authorities to get access to the capital they need to rebuild the country" during the uprisings in South Africa emanating from rent boycotts, consumer boycotts, June 16 matches And a tens of strike actions, did they see that the nationalist party had lost legitimacy? Not to mention that it never had one. Why didn't they launch offensives against the NP government to oust it? Why there was clamor internationally when the Azanian People's Liberation army fought the illegitimate security forces of apartheid South Africa (after the ANC suspended its armed insurrection). When it was convenient that the conflict should not hurt Europeans, they supported negotiation, but when the lives of Africans are at consideration, they shell Africans States arming rebels so that Africans kill each other. Suppose that during the recent uprisings in England, if the demonstration had degraded to calls that the government of UK must step down, would they have armed the insurrectionists? Let us wait and see, but I am sceptical that peace after the deposal of Gaddafi will ensure. Perhaps South Africa and the AU are correct for an all-inclusive interim government of Libya. kind regards Mduduzi Sibeko Admin/finance [cid:[email protected]] T +27-11-724-9281 C +27-71-101-2595 F +27-11-900-1929 F 086-754-2176 E [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.randwater.co.za<http://www.randwater.co.za> This email and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information.
