The BRICS Nations Say ‘No’ to Libya Violence
Foreign ministries of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are busy arranging their agendas ahead of the third BRICS summit in Chinese Sanya on April, 14th. Global events are developing at such a high pace that plans are being corrected on the go. Commenting on the […]
Libya: ‘Winged Democracy’ in Critical Tail-Spin
Global war-mongers are seemingly in deep frustration. Despite huge investments in ‘people opposition movement’, disinformation campaign and eventual direct foreign intervention in Libya, the ‘anti-Gaddafi project’ has come to obvious deadlock. That looks quite surprising. Regular Libyan army beats the ‘rebels’ despite three weeks of constant NATO bombardments and heavy […]
How Is Gadhafi Going to Hit Back?
Throughout the past week, the theme of Gadhafi’s options for counterstrikes in response to the Western coalition’s air raids against Libya and of the instigation of the insurgency in the country has been constantly popping up in the media headlines.The British intelligence agencies, British ambassador to Washington Christopher Meyer and […]
Libya: Distractions and Diversions
“This is pure hypocrisy and demagogy, they are already giving weapons to the rebels, and not only that: they are interfering in the struggle of the Libyan people,” he said, adding that “this action is against international law and the United Nations Charter.”– Miguel D’Escoto One thing should surely be […]
Gaddafi’s African “Mercenary” Story is a Disinformation Ploy by the CIA
Experts on Africa who have traveled extensively in Libya contend that the stories emanating from the Western media that portray Libya’s leader, Muammar Gaddafi, as engaging the services of black mercenaries from Sahara and sub-Sahara Africa is a disinformation ploy by the CIA to stoke racist fervor among Libyans rebelling […]
Sarkozy’s Libyan Odyssey
A Parisian dove French President Nicolas Sarkozy never tires of repeating that it should be the Libyans themselves who decide Moammar Gadhafi’s political fate in Libya, not the international coalition. “Libya’s future and Libya’s political choice, including what they decide to do with Gadhafi and his fanatics, are a problem […]
”Days of Anger”: New Era of Revolutions
This year started with a wave of social uprising in Maghrib, which later spread to the most part of the Arab North Africa and the Middle East. Though historical significance of these events will become clear only with time, now we still can make some conclusions and see what these […]
Post-Gaddafian Africa (II)
Part 1 In the middle of 90s Colonel Gaddafi decided to give up his venturesome-terrorist policy at the African continent and became one of the African Union architects — this Euro-Union-like organization including an entire Africa. On the 9th of September, 1999 African leaders adopted the declaration on creation of […]
Post-Gaddafian Africa (I)
Libya has been carrying out utmost active policy in Sahel (part of African continent, lying to the south from Sahara desert) long since. Libyan presence in the region is perceivable in the military, economic, cultural and propagandistic spheres. Numerous countries of this area are closely bound to Libya, while Colonel […]
Libya: Time to Say What is Really Happening (I)
Global media are beaming with enthusiasm over the advancement of the “rebels” in Libya. The Independent, for example, ran a nearly sadistic weekend account of the coalition’s raid which caught the forces of the regime amidst open space, with nowhere to hide, and left scores of crippled and burned bodies […]
Libyan ‘Peaceful’ Opposition
Anti-Gaddafi coalition has been bombing Libya for ten days already. Hundreds of civilians are dead or injured. Anyway the coalition is not a jot closer to the declared objective to oust Gaddafi from power. The common prejudice is that the West is protecting ‘peaceful’ democratic opposition who would build ‘open […]
