    We have received confirmation that Aisha Gaddafi has said that the last statement published around the internet claiming to be from her was a FAKE. Many of the websites we more or less trusted unquestioningly published this statement and now I think most serious people have given up believing anything that claims to come from the pro-Jamahiriyah side because it is obviously so heavily infiltrated, except when we see the videos of our people/spokespeople from the leadership. When there is something we need to know, we will definitely know it.
  2. just as al-Jamahiriya-TV (out of Africa) announced:
    “We publish this news to put an end as quickly as possible to the confusion in the psychological war during which NATO has flooded the web with false news, false documents, false Libyan sites, contaminating social networks and unfortunately also some sites of friends of Libya. “…

  6. remote-piloted MQ-9, without a warhead, crashed Tuesday at Seychelles international airport on island of Mahe
    The US drones began anti-piracy surveillance in late 2009 after the Seychelles and the US Africa Command tested the aircraft to be used in seeking out Somali gunmen prowling the Indian Ocean.
    With 115 islands scattered inside an exclusive economic zone spanning 1.4 million square kilometres, a population of only 85,000 and a military of 500, the Seychelles requested foreign assistance to stave off the pirates.
    US drones also overfly Somalia from an Ethiopian airbase, but Washington officials have denied media reports that the aircraft are armed and attack Al-Qaeda-linked Shabaab militia fighting the Western-backed Somali government.
    TECH from 2001:
    The MQ-9 is a larger and more capable aircraft than the earlier MQ-1 Predator (other than loiter time), and it can be controlled by the same ground systems used to control MQ-1s. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower (712 kW) turboprop engine, far more powerful than the Predator’s 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine. The increase in power allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance and cruise at three times the speed of the MQ-1.[2] Although the MQ-9 can fly pre-programmed routes autonomously, the aircraft is always monitored or controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS) and weapons employment is always commanded by the flight crew.

    MQ-9 Reaper
    Role Unmanned combat air vehicle
    National origin United States
    Manufacturer General Atomics Aeronautical Systems
    First flight 2 February 2001
    Version for U.S. Air Force
    In October 2001, the U.S. Air Force signed a contract with GA to purchase an initial pair of Predator B-003s for evaluation, with follow-up orders for production machines. The first test MQ-9s were delivered to the Air Force in 2002. The name “Altair” did not follow the aircraft into testing, with the Air Force continuing to refer to the system as “Predator B” until it was renamed Reaper (“Altair” instead became the designation for the unarmed NASA version); this is confusing, however, as the manufacturer uses the term to refer to the smaller B-001 prototype.
    MQ-9  2
    An MQ-9 taking off in Afghanistan
    The typical MQ-9 system consists of multiple aircraft, ground control stations, satellites, and flight, maintenance crews, communications equipment and links, maintenance spares, and military (or contractor) personnel. The crew consists of a pilot and sensor operator. To meet combat requirements, the MQ-9 tailors its capabilities using mission kits of various combinations of weapons and sensors payloads. The Raytheon AN/AAS-52 multi-spectral targeting sensor suite includes a color/monochrome daylight TV, infrared, and image-intensified TV with laser rangefinder/target designator to designate targets for laser guided munitions. The Synthetic Aperture Radar system enables GBU-38 JDAM targeting, is capable of very fine resolution in both spotlight and strip modes, and has ground moving target indicator capability.
    As of March, 2011, the U.S. Air Force was training more pilots for advanced unmanned aerial vehicles than for any other single weapons system for deployment in Libya.
    MQ-9  3
    In October 2011 the U.S. Air Force began operating Reapers out of Arba Minch in Ethiopia.
    Naval version
    General Atomics designed a naval version of the Reaper, named the “Mariner”, for the U.S. Navy’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program requirements. The design would have an increased fuel capacity in order to have an endurance of up to 49 hours.[61] Proposed variations on the ultimate design included one designed for carrier operations with folding wings for carrier storage, shorter and more rugged landing gear, an arresting hook, cut-down or eliminated ventral flight surfaces and six stores pylons with a total load of 3,000 pounds (1,360 kilograms).

    US will “absolutely” continue drone war on Iran

    US will “absolutely” continue drone war on Iran

    Edited: 15 December, 2011, 11:20
    Even with the loss of not one, but two multi-million-dollar drones in recent weeks, the head of the US Defense Department says that America will “absolutely” continue stealth jets missions over Iran.
    Despite these losses, the US Department of Defense is showing no signs of retreat, even if Tehran has insisted that they are well on their well to decoding the top-secret technologies under the hood of the recovered Sentinel. Speaking to Fox News this week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that stealth missions into Iran will continue “absolutely,” despite ongoing opposition from overseas.
    The first in a new fleet of drones departing air bases to patrol the international skies is the Avenger, a state-of-the-art stealth craft that serves as an updated edition to the arsenal of Predators and Reapers currently in America’s repertoire. With the ability to elude radar detection and bomb enemy targets with the help of internal weapons bays on each wing, the Pentagon will be sending the first new Avenger over to Afghanistan.
    Given that the Taliban’s technology does not necessitate America to put in its skies an aircraft with the technologies as advanced as the Avenger, the decision to deploy the United States’ newest toy over Afghanistan is raising questions about the exact intentions of the craft.
    America recently put a Sentinel drone over the skies of Afghanistan — or at least said they did — as part of a reconnaissance mission. The US lost contact with the craft, however, only later to deny its existence, eventually prompting the government of Iran to release footage of the craft they recovered after it was seen over its own skies. The US would later say that the drone must have wavered outside of its intended and into Iranian territory by mistake, though officials out of Tehran said the craft was intercepted around 140 miles from their border with Afghanistan.
    Less than two weeks after Iran managed to hijack the craft and bring it down unscathed, the United States lost a second drone, as RT reported on Tuesday this week. Both attacks befell on the advanced machinery that are valued in the tens-of-millions of dollars apiece.

    Gadhafi's ride to Victory for the JAMAHIRIYA
  13. It is becoming increasingly accepted that water promises to be to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th century: the precious commodity that determines the wealth of nations. Western military intervention in Iraq, Libya and imminently Syria is driven as much by a thirst to profit from water as it is by a desire to pilfer oil, trade arms and gain lucrative no-bid reconstruction contracts. The military invasions are ostensibly aimed at liberation.
    British Defence Secretary Philip Hammond recently let the cat out of the bag by officially confirming that Britain will make returns of £200 billion from reconstruction contracts in Libya, all from a mere £300 million investment. According to the US based Centre for Public Integrity, western nations stand to make up to US$1trillion from privatizing, harnessing, purifying and distributing water in a region where water often sells for far more than oil.
    Although over two thirds of our planet is water, we face an acute water shortage. This scarcity flies in the face of our natural assumptions. Roughly 70 percent of our world is water but the problem is that 97 percent of that is salt water. Great for fish, not so good for humans. Of the world’s fresh water, only 1 percent is available for drinking, with the remaining 2 percent trapped in glaciers and ice.
    Put differently: if all the water on earth were represented by an 11 litre jug, the freshwater would fill a single cup and all we can access would be the last drop.
    Increasingly, for water to be useful, it needs to be mined, processed, packaged, moved and delivered. Just like gold, coal, gas or oil. However, unlike oil, there are no substitutes, alternatives or stopgaps for water.
    Nature has decreed that the supply of water is fixed. All the while, demand rises inexorably as the world’s population increases and enriches itself. Climate change, population growth, pollution, urbanisation and the rapid development of manufacturing industries are relentlessly combining such that demand will outstrip supply by 40 per cent by 2030.
    Several months prior to the invasion of Iraq, the CIA raised the spectre of hydrological warfare “in which rivers, lakes and aquifers become national security assets to be fought over, or controlled” through proxy armies and client states.
    On April 17, 2003, in Iraq, the American company Bechtel received a no-bid reconstruction contract from the US Agency for International Development. The initial contract was for US$680 million over 18 months. It now stands at over US$100 billion, making it the largest Iraq reconstruction contract.
    The most lucrative Iraq reconstruction contract was not to repair oil infrastructure, build schools and hospitals or repair bombarded infrastructure. It was to source, process and distribute water.
    The secretive, opaque and no-bid nature of the water contract award process is made even worse by one incredible fact. Bechtel has botched many of its previous projects. In California, Bechtel installed one of the nuclear power plant reactors backwards. In Boston, what promised to be a US$2,5 billion job for an infamous tunnel became the most expensive in US history costing US$14,6 billion. The tunnel project was plagued by charges of poor execution, corruption, criminal arrests and even four deaths.
    In Bolivia, Bechtel’s record is one of privatising water, jacking up prices by 35 percent; thereby causing riots in which several people died; getting kicked out and then suing the Government for cancelling the contract. Since the turn of the century, Iraq was the first casualty of hydro-imperialism and Colonel Gaddafi’s assassination marks the second. At this very moment, Colonel Gaddafi’s dictatorship is being dismantled and replaced by a corporate dictatorship.
    At the forefront of this new order are France’s global mega-water companies Suez, Ondeo and Saur, who control almost half of the world’s water market. These multinationals are rushing to privatise water, already a US$400 billion global business. They now stand to rake in billions of dollars from the eighth wonder of the world the – the Great Man-made River scheme (GMMR).
    This scheme was the brainchild of Colonel Gaddafi and was set to turn Libya – a nation that is 95 percent desert – into a food self-sufficient arable oasis. The GMMR is a US$25 billion Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, which is an immensely vast underground sea of fresh water. It has a complex 4 000km long water pipeline buried beneath the desert that could transport two million cubic metres of water a day.
    Gaddafi had intended the scheme to be designed by Libyans, constructed by Libyans, for the benefit of the Libyan population. Now it will almost certainly be redesigned by Frenchmen and women at inflated costs, constructed by French contractors, largely for the benefit of French shareholders. Libyan taxpayers will be stuck with the bill and higher water bills.
    For western leaders, the corporations that fund their political campaigns and the Jewish lobby that is the backbone of corporate America, intervention in Syria however is not exclusively about profit. It is about something far more important – Israel.
    Israeli leaders assert that Mr Assad poses an existential threat to Israel on two fronts. For a start, Syria backs insurgents and radicals in Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq, and foments Iran’s belligerence. More importantly, Mr Assad poses a bigger threat to Israel’s existence on the issue of water.

    smuggling weapons through Algeria
    According to an assessment of the security services and the Algerian National Gendarmerie, 87 Libyan arms dealers were arrested on the border with Algeria since the conflict began in Libya.
    Ever since the conflict began in Libya, according to an official report of the security services and the National Gendarmerie, 14,200 Libyans were able to infiltrate into Algeria and were then stopped by the security services. According to an inside source, at least 87 Libyans were caught while trying to transfer weapons for terrorist groups belonging to AQIM.
    Most of these Libyans were stopped because without identity, the source said, adding that the Libyans who were able to infiltrate across the border between Algeria and Libya were primarily in search of food and medical care. Some of them have become traders of food products to Libya. Others, however, found armed and suspected of having links with the ‘rebels’, because they carry the new flag of Libya, cashed 20,000 dollars for every convoy that crossed the region towards Sebha and al Jalou Jaghboub, near the Egyptian-Libyan border. Groups of smugglers are also required, according to informed sources, to pay some of the leaders of armed factions for each shipment of drugs to the south of Libya. Similarly, specialists in the fight against terrorism have shown that large amounts of gold were exchanged between Libya, Algeria and Morocco, in exchange for large amounts of fuel and spare parts for vehicles.

    (د. موسى إبراهيم)
    سألني الكثير من الأحبة القراء عن “زيتونة بايع راسه” في بني وليد التي سبق وأن ذكرتها وماقصتها، فأقول أنه لما هجم أجلافُ الترك على بني وليد الأحرار، ليرغموا أهلها ورفلة على دفع الميري (أي الضريبة للسلطان العثماني)، ضربوا الناس بمدفع كانوا يجرّونَهُ، والمدافعُ شيءٌ عجيبٌ في ذاكَ الزمانِ. فلم يعرفِ المجاهدونَ كيفَ يفعلونَ معَ هذه الآلةِ، فاجتمع ورفلي برفاقه تحت شجرة زيتونة وقال: ليس على المدفع غير واحد من المهندسين يُوقدُ النارَ في قلبِها، فلو أطفأنا قلبَهُ إنطفأ قلبها. قالوا: كيف نفعلُ؟ قالَ: واحدٌ منا “بَايِعْ رَاسَهْ” يدنُو من التركي حتّى يقتله. ثم قال: أنا لها. فذهبَ فقنص جندي المدفع وتوقف المدفع عن العمل، فهجمَ المجاهدونَ علَى عدوِّهم فدحرُوه. فسُمِّيت الزيتونة من يومها “زيتونةْ بايعْ راسَهْ”. حيا الله المجاهدين.
    He asked me a lot of loved ones readers about the “olive pledged allegiance to his head” in the Bani Walid, which had already been mentioned and Magstha, I say that when attacked Ojlav Turk on the Bani Walid free, to force the owners and Rafla to pay Miri (ie the tax to the Ottoman sultan), beating people with cannon were they are holding, the defender is something marvelous in that time. Mujahideen did not know how they are doing with this machine, and Werfalli his comrades gathered under the olive tree and said, not on the gun is one of the engineers kindles fire in her heart, if his heart was extinguished Otafona her heart. They said: How do we do? He said one of us “, recognized head” of the approaching Turkish even kill him. Then he said: I have. He went Vguens soldier guns and gun stopped working, Vahjm Vdhrōh Mujahideen on their enemy. Zaytuna became known as the day of the “olive tree, recognized his head.” God is alive Mujahideen.

  18. The imprisonment and mistreatment of Libyan citizen Ahmad Ibrahim by NTC forces
    Posted: 2011/12/16
    From: Mathaba

    Ahmed Ibrahim
    Intellectual Dr Ahmad Ibrahim, author of the best explanation of the concept of `revolutionary organization` in the Third Universal Theory, and former General Secretary of the Libyan General People’s Committee for Education, is being held by the Australian-US-European supported racist “National Transitional Council” rebels
    Libyan citizen Ahmad Ibrahim, (56 years old, pictured above) currently held without specific charges by the NATO-sponsored rebels and quite possibly tortured, was taken from his home in Sirte during the joint NATO – rebel onslaught in August.
    Dr Ahmad Ibrahim was not fighting at that time, nor at any time before, but was in his house. He is a well-known professor of philosophy, who, like many other academics, was involved with the government, but as a civilian.
    Ahmad Ibrahim is being refused visits and contact with his family, even with lawyers. There is a strong possibility that he is being mistreated (see here: http://ozyism.blogspot.com/2011/11/us-teaching-its-mercenaries.html).
    The NTC has not levelled any charges against him, nor are there any plans to allow him a fair trial. A fair trial is not that of the victor against the loser behind closed doors, but must be independent, transparent and supervised. No-one is presumed guilty to be proved innocent. But as things stand, Ahmad Ibrahim will not be given the rights that should be his in any legal court of law. Please act to save him from torture and unlawful imprisonment.

    Peters
    CAMBRIDGE, Ont. – A private security contractor and former soldier from Canada has admitted he helped Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saadi flee Libya last month as Tripoli was falling to anti-Gaddafi rebels.
    Gary Peters is president of Can/Aus Security & Investigations International Inc. in Cambridge, Ont. He is also Saadi Gaddafi’s longtime bodyguard and admitted he was part of a team that drove the late dictator’s third son across Libya’s southern border to Niger.
    The convoy was ambushed after it had crossed back into Libya and Mr. Peters was shot. He returned to Toronto’s Pearson airport in September, bleeding heavily from an untreated bullet wound to his left shoulder.
    “I got hurt over there so I come back,” he said when approached this week by a National Post reporter. He said he had been providing security to members of the Gaddafi family since 2004 and had continued to do so throughout the NATO campaign against Muammar Gaddafi.
    He worked mostly for Saadi but said he had also briefly guarded Col. Gaddafi’s sons Saif al-Islam and Hannibal.
    Before helping Saadi flee to Niger, Mr. Peters said he had escorted Hannibal and Col. Gaddafi’s daughter Ayesha from Libya to Algeria in a convoy. His account of working for the Gaddafis was verified by several sources.
    “I’m not a mercenary,” he said. “I work for a person in particular, have done for years, for close protection. When we go overseas, I don’t fight. That’s what a mercenary does. Defend? Yes. Shoot? Yes. But for defence, for my boss, and that’s what happened. The convoy got attacked and two of us got hit.”
    After Mr. Peters had delivered Saadi to Niger, he returned to Libya, where gunmen opened fire on his three-vehicle convoy, he said. Five of the attackers were killed during the firefight and he was also hit.
    He said he made his way to Tunisia and Frankfurt, then got on a flight to Toronto.
    “I bled on the plane. I fell asleep and when I wake up … I felt a trickle and there was blood everywhere. There was a little bit of shrapnel in there.”
    He got as far as the airport parking lot before he began to teeter from blood loss. He was taken to a nearby hospital to have the shrapnel removed. The RCMP spoke to him.
    Interpol [in an outright LIE] issued an arrest warrant for Saadi on Sept. 29 for allegedly “misappropriating properties through force and armed intimidation” when he was head of the Libyan soccer team. He is also subject to a UN travel ban and assets freeze for being “the commander of military units allegedly involved in repression of demonstrations by civilians during Libya’s uprising.”
    But Mr. Peters denied that.
    “If he was a mass murderer then obviously I wouldn’t work for him,” he said. “The man’s a gentleman, non-violent. They said that he’s the leader of a military unit. Bulls—, he’s not….Saadi was a “very nice man, very educated, very nice guy.”…
    Sturdy and 5 ft. 5, with a pencil-thin moustache, brushcut and an Australian special forces army tattoo on his forearm, Mr. Peters goes by the nickname “Shorty.” He refers to Saadi as “The Boss.” He said since his return to Canada he had continued to speak regularly with Saadi by phone.
    Peters believed Canada had backed the wrong side in the conflict. He accused the rebels of committing atrocities and said NATO had bombed civilian homes.
    “I’m not political. This is my boss, he’s also a client, also a friend,” Mr. Peters said.
    “It’s difficult but you have your own principles too, right? My morals say that I’ve got to stand by him.”
    He said he was returning to Niger this weekend.
    But he said he had paid a price for his loyalty to the boss. The word “dog” was scratched on his car, he said. He believes he is being followed.
    “All my clients I had here, they’ve all gone. They all boycotted, which is fine.”
    Asked why, he said, “because of who I work for, and that I’m continuing to work for him. People talk.”
    Saadi was captain of the Libyan national soccer team. He was also captain of the Tripoli soccer club and president of the Libyan Football Federation.
    Mr. Peters said he was serving in the Royal Australian Army when he first met Saadi. The Gaddafi son was visiting the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and Mr. Peters was assigned to protect him, he said.
    Saadi
    Mr. Peters moved to Canada in 2002 (he is a landed immigrant, not a Canadian citizen) and worked “on and off” for the next two years as a close protection operative for the security company Blackwater USA.
    His website says he has worked as a private investigator and close protection officer in Canada, the U.S. and Middle East. It says he is a certified executive protection specialist and member in good standing of the International Association of Security Professionals.
    “Mr. Peters has provided protection and care for a significant amount of dignitaries, royalty and celebrities and is well acquainted with dealing with the various types of personalities from around the world in different locations and situations,” it reads.
    A second on-line profile said he had received training in Israel and worked for Garda World in 2008-09. Ontario government records show Can/Aus Security was incorporated in 2009. No directors or officers are named in the corporate records.
    When Saadi visited the Toronto International Film Festival, Mr. Peters led his security detail.
    Mr. Peters said he was in Libya when the anti-Gaddafi uprising began. He was in Libya every month after that until he was shot. He said he had no qualms about working for the Gaddafis, even after Canada joined the NATO campaign against the Jamahiriya State.
    “For starters, I haven’t worked for Saif for probably three years now. I only work for Saadi. Saadi has principles.
    Moutassem and Saif-al-Islam
    [picture: Dr. Moutassem al-Bilah al-Gadhafi, corporal and Dr. Saif-al-Islam al-Gadhafi]
    In July, Mr. Peters took part in a “fact-finding mission” to Libya. A Cambridge consultant was hired to conduct a survey of the damage caused by NATO air strikes. Mr. Peters assembled the security team that was to accompany her.
    A plane chartered in Mexico flew to the Kitchener, Ont., airport to pick up the consultant, the security team and their gear. It was stopped by Canadian authorities in Gander, Nfld., but eventually allowed to proceed.
    The consultant toured 72 sites bombed by NATO, and only eight were military installations, he said.
    “The media say they bombed this and that and they took out anti-aircraft. That’s all crap. It’s all garbage.”
    But Mr. Peters said the fact-finding mission was financed by Saadi in an attempt to get out a side of the Libya story he felt was not being covered by the media.
    Mr. Peters returned to Libya for the last time in August. He said he was the only Canadian on Saadi’s security team. The others were from Australia, New Zealand, Iraq and Russia, all former special forces’ members.
    He said they had planned to take Saadi out of the country on a day they had heard the Niger border would not be patrolled, but they could not wait.
    “We decided to go right now, and when we got across the border they were being patrolled, that’s why we got pulled over.”
    Authorities in Niger stopped the convoy on Sept. 11, but allowed Saadi to stay on humanitarian grounds. Saadi and his family (including cousins) are staying on one floor of a small villa near the capital building of Niamey in Niger. He has free access to the local mosque.
    He desires to make a Muslem refuge for homeless Libyans in the Southern Sahara of Libya.
    He’s fine. He’s waiting for his movements to be allowed. So he’s not going to move yet. The reason is, he wants to travel when this is all over. If he moves now and he’s got a “no movement ban” on him, it’ll make it difficult later.”
    Saadi said in a statement from his lawyer this week he was “shocked and outraged by the vicious brutality which accompanied the murder
    of his brother Moutassem.

    [PICTURE: DR: MOUTASSEM al-BILLAH QATHAFI in Corporal Uniform]
    Mr. Peters said the fight for Libya was not over.
    “People say, ‘Oh, it’s going to settle down, everyone’s got to pull out.’ Don’t believe it’s going to settle down because there are still three full blooded brothers and a father out there that are very, very angry….And they’ve still got that money. We just purchased, brand-new, three Land Rovers, bullet-proof. We paid cash for it. That means there’s money around.”

    Libya; The Superiority of African Knowledge.
    Posted on 17 December 2011
    By Kingsley Sheteh at A Neo Copernican Review
    Africans about Africa.
    Isn’t it all so glaring with the stories emanating from the recent invasion of Libya? Of course it is logical that a good reason has to be given to taxpayers for every invasion. Unfortunately these reasons blur the truth and hence knowledge. Ask many in the West today what Libya was in 2010 and all they know is that Gaddafi had stayed in power for 42 years and that Libyans wanted democracy. Ask an African and he will tell you that Libya was a poor Kingdom under King Idris when Gaddafi seized power in 1969, expelled the British and US military bases that ensured Idris’ stay in power, and that Libya according to the UNDP Human Development Index of 2010 had a life expectancy of 74 and that it had free education, and enviable healthcare system and that it was a welfare system with unemployment benefits. How many people in the West today know the real reasons why there have been tensions between Gaddafi and the West?
    That Gaddafi resisted joining a US/NATO-sponsored military alliance in the region.
    That Gaddafi also refused to join the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)
    That Gaddafi put $300 million of the $400 million to fund Africa’s first communications satellite in 2007. (A project that made western countries to loose a net income from Africa of over $500 million a year)
    That Gaddafi maintained public ownership of Libya’s own central bank, and the authority to create its own national money
    That Gaddafi worked assiduously to establish an African Monetary Fund, an African Central Bank, and an African Investment Bank, which will curb the high levels of capital flight from Africa, make African governments more responsible and unfortunately render the IMF and the World Bank visibly useless.
    That Gaddafi refused the request of Western powers to be part of these projects, especially France and the UK.
    Of course many will not know all these. I have read many articles discussion the Post-Gaddafi era. Unfortunately, they are so filled with misinformation that I pity the western generation that will know nothing but what these tell them. I am in no way down-playing the high standards of western education in western institutions. When it comes to the empirical sciences and technological sciences, there is no doubt that these institutions are of the most premium quality. But talk about the social sciences, the bottom line then is that if anyone wants to be educated in the world today, let them do their primary to high school education in Africa and then go to the Western institutions for University education. That way they will be able to discern fact from fiction and will not end up living a life of deceit.
    In the final analysis, it is clear that the era is long gone when a few individuals or countries will continue to present their ideologies and selfish interests as international creed, thereby eroding the powers of the African people. This is clearly a period for a philosophical re-articulation of the African reality; a re-articulation because of the history of bastardisation of the intrinsic realities of African continent. It should be a philosophy of “existential hermeneutics” of self-rediscovery of the past, for an adequate re-integration and possible synthesis for a new way of being, doing and saying. In this sense, it should not be a mere mental or metaphysical outlook on life: not a mere ideological, and not even only an existential construct; but something that involves all of the above – a holistic vision and attitude to life. But most important one that can only be done by those most informed to do it – AFRICANS.

  23. Stephen Gule
    North African Doctors Union, Pilots Union and Engineers Union groups will continue to make available 500 to 1000, 58 seater busses and trucks available to all Libyan Returneese in every neighboring town and city daily, these buses will transport people in and out of Libya free of charge, they will be air conditioned Scania busses from China with toilets and enough room to move legs for relaxed atmosphere in a long road journey, especially for residents of Sirte, situation in Sirte is not complete to peaceful, the above union groups and the green army will make drinks, refreshment and food available to all returneese, it’s not advisable to settle permanently in many parts of Libya at the moment, situation is still very fragile. The three unions will make $15000 USD available to per family heads, persons, and also build tent homes, temporary shelters, long term facilities and medical care are still in question, there will be no working and photo ops with Bosanh ( Abdel Jalil ), they are not elected politicians and nobody wants to see face of traitors in Sirte.
    There is some money coming from Libyan business community, but the resources at hand are very limited, and will not be able to build complete housing units, hospitals and repair the schools, every thing in war affected Libyan cities will remain mobile, we also need to see what available immediate resources are available out there to Libby people. Things are very hard at the moment, nothing is normal.
