Genocide in Libya: can we talk about it now?
Simon Hinds | 06.11.2011 15:31 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Birmingham | World
Our government backs so-called revolutionaries who massacre Africans in Libya. Stay silent and you’re saying it’s OK. And what’s next? The quiet re-colonisation of Africa? Don’t think this is a stupid exaggeration. Plans are already afoot. Don’t go to a union meeting if you don’t want to but don’t use it as an excuse to do nothing. Think of your own way to say NO to genocide.

Meeting: Unity House @ 39 Chalton St. NW1,1200 – 1600hrs: Saturday 12th November 2011
(Nearest tube Euston & Kings Cross, walk along Euston Road towards either station lookout for Rocket pub)
Called by RMT South East Black and Ethnic Members (BEM) Committee. Supported by Global Afrikan Congressuk (GACuk) Pan Afrikan Society Community Forum (PASCF) Haiti First Haiti Now (HFHN), Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB-ML), RMT Finsbury Park (0543) Pan Afrikan Community Movement (PACM)
“NATO troops and so called ‘rebels’ have all been killing Afrikans in Libya. These are Afrikan people living in an Afrikan country, which just happens to have an Arab majority. These killings have now been confirmed by independent witness. Their genocidal scorched earth policy has been applied only to towns and cities where majority Afrikans were living. Throughout the conflict, the white left in the West have been immobilised – with notable exceptions of MPs John Mcdonnell, Jeremy Corbyn and London Transport section of RMT. The rest have been fighting among themselves to see who could ‘support’ NATO the most. Pan Afrikanist were also caught out with many not wishing to ‘upset their Muslim Alliance’ as if speaking out against Racist in an Arab controlled country would somehow endanger support. Our collective failure and inability to mobilise action against NATO has help ensure the killing of Mammuah Gaddafie and thousands of Afrikans. Can we talk about it now?”

Nato can never be the good guys

Its amazing so few people are asking questions about what happened in libya.
The dictator was a small fish patriarch, he didn´t even do that much harm relative to the bigger fish patriarchs who are now dividing the spOILs.
Ivory coast was similar deal earlier this year.
NATO CANNOT EVER BE A FORCE FOR GOOD
the whole point of NATO is to be well scary and well violent and take what they want.
gaddaffi was an easy target, easy to make fun of and easy to justify violence against but he had much much less blood on his hands than our lot or for that matter most "world leaders"

CARIBBEAN PEOPLE’S RESOLUTION ON
THE CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST LIBYA
At the end of World War II - perhaps the most devastating war in the history of mankind - the nations of the world came together and created the United Nations organisation and a system of international legal principles that were designed to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" and to "reaffirm faith in..... the equal rights ...... of nations large and small".
This system of international legal principles is the only mechanism that the smaller and less materially powerful nations of the world possess to protect them against the predatory intentions of large and powerful nations, and from the evil doctrine that "might makes right".
And so, it is now incumbent on all of the smaller nations of the world, and indeed, on all governments and persons that believe in the concepts of international law and morality, to forcibly register a strong and profound protest against the manner in which the operative principles of the United Nations and the fundamental precepts of international law were flouted and desecrated by the powerful nations of France, Britain and the United States of America ( and their NATO allies) in their actions against the people, government and nation of Libya, and against Libya’s political leader, the late Muammar Qaddafi, over the period of February to October 2011!...
