The Truth About the Libyan Conflict and Consequences for the Continent
By Charles Abugre, 5 September 2011, Accra, http://allafrica.com
The invasion of Libya has little to do with protecting civilians, all to do with strategic interests and is a wicked blow to Africa, argues Charles Abugre.
The belief that time heals, hasn't manifested itself in how a lot of Africans feel about the NATO-led invasion of Libya six-months into the Western siege of that country. Contrary to the false pretences of protecting civilians, it is now clear that the purpose of the invasion Read more [...]

Inheriting an Empire by Mumia Abu Jamal
Mumia Abu Jamal writes about the recent election of President Barack Obama. He taught that "Over 2,000 years ago an African took the throne of the Roman Empire. He ruled for some 18 years, and waged wars on behalf of Rome. His name was Septimius Severus, and he was born in what is today Libya, in North Africa. And while his reign brought wealth, power and status to his family and his home province, he did not change Rome so much as Rome changed him. His power went to extend empire, not to change it.
