Cde Mdu, thanks for constantly making sure that this platform is used for what it was established for.
I have noticed that many Pan Africanists admirer Gaddhafi and I have my reservations about that. I think firstly we need to understand how Arabs in the North became Africans. I think by now we all know that the first colonisers of Africa were the very same Arabs who came via the Suez canal and brutally killed Africans who were there but were later disturbed by the Jews. I have heard Gaddafi's rhetoric about Africa and his vision for a United States of Africa which was what Garvey and many fathers of Pan Africanism stood for. My only concern about what Gaddafi stood for is: Did he have the same interests as those of the indeginous Africans or did he have a vision of the Arabisation of Africa? I think we have been seeing pictures of the Libyan cities before the West but hardly saw black people roaming around the streets. What could be the reason for such a thing? Could it be the fact that they live under constant fear of being killed or victimised by the Arabs. I also think we need to critically describe love. If you love Africa you could not change their religion, conduct education in your foreign language like it happens here in SA and many countries who were and still are colonised. Surely Gaddafi had Arab interests at heart and not African interests. On top of it all why would he stop supporting the PAC during the negotians and side with ruling party which is the ANC. If the Jews and Arabs are killing each other then that is an advantage for us cause they are doing half the job we have to do. As far as the killing of blacks in Libya, it has been happening for many years and it happens in all the Arab nations in Africa. I am currently trying to draw some similarities between PK Leballo and L Mphahlele. I will send it soon for discussion.
