GADHAFI ON MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

GADHAFI ON MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
25.04.2010 LISTEN

Colonel Muammar Gadhafi popurlarly called Kadahfi,Gadfly, or aI-Gaddafi, Libyan Maximum leader, who had assumed the sole authority in Libya since 1969 that overthrew King Idris 1 and proclaimed Libya an Arab Republic through the barrel of the gun has never known peace with her entire neighbours in the Magreb union. His known for his fanatical support for evils act for religion causes.

He rules his Oil-rich country with Iron- hand and belongs to what late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe the first President of Nigeria described as a class of unmitigated dictators.

The call by the self-styled King of African Kings that Nigeria be divided into two States-One Christain and One Moslem to prevent future sectarian violence between rival groups in Plateau State.The State of Nigeria in Africa has come a long way since gaining Political Independence,in 1960. The various nations in the continent have experienced varying degrees of growing pains that does not mean break-up.

For too long he has been outside history and certainly outside discussion. Kadahfi incitement, derogatory statement and negative talks show him as an enemy of Nigeria, because the Libyan leader is not up to -date of the Geo-Politics of the world. Muammer is wrong in his prognosis.

The arm-race of the world is been contested in the South-East Asian nations he mentioned; Terrorism and anarchy is a way of life in Pakinstan were Islamic militants and India's administered Kashmir's had a field day. So his political approached is not acceptable but a failure.

The partioned of the Sub-Continent into present day India and Pakistan in 1947 sowed the seeds for the present conflict. They have fought three war's between India, the world's largest democracy and its arch-rival Pakinstan since 1947, and two over the disputed territory of India controlled Kashimr.

The conflict between thePeople in Plateau State were as a result of increase in bad governance, on the part of the conflict, however dialogue is the best option, not violence was not the best way forward.

There is no doubt that Nigeria, Africa's most populous country will become a stronger nation that mankind can live together in peace and harmony despite difference in religion and ethnic origin.

A leader is known for his simplicity and sense of humility were widely acknowledged. Unity in Africa continent was very essentials, mere propaganda and divisive tendencies amongst the African Union is dangerous to the continent.The Libyan leader is never a good player in Africa's politic he recently completed a year- long term as head of the 53 nation African Union and frequently portrays himself as a leader and adviser of the continent.

The plight of African immigrants in Libya is sad indeed , especially the loss of lives in encounters with immigration officials and the Police. I do not see any reason why an African who has lived in Libya for a decades should not be granted permanent residency.The falacy of these careless talk of the sit-tight Arabs ruler, groomong his son to succeed him in the oil-rich Maghreb state to show the life of one of the remnant of Africa's ugly tyranny.

If Col aI-Gaddafi the soldier of Africa as he called himself who failed to embraced modern civilization, want the Libyan to revere him, he must pave the way for a quick return to democratic rule and then return to his tiny village of sirte or else he may find himself remembered in history as the ruthless ruler ever lived .

Overtime, there is deep disappointment in the hearts of the peace loving Nigerians of Gadhafi smear propaganda campaign against the Nigeria State. Since time immemorial, he support Arabs terrorist against the State of Isreal. he also aided other known terrorist groups from The Philippines ;Abu Sayyar moslem rebels to the Irish Republican Army ( IRA). Kadahfi is mostly percieved as the leader for evils deed in the world.

In 1980 the west accussed him as a principal financial of International terrorism, because of his evils acts he was injured and his adopted infant daughter killed in April 1986 when the United States under the late charismatic leader Ronald Reagan ordered the bombing of Libyan sites in responses to terrorism allegedly trace to Tripoli. He used Libya's vast-Oil wealth to create probelm in the world that is why he has been a international terrorist champion and never called a nationalist. He has been a failure in his political approached, the proposed merger with Libya, Egypt and Syria failed in1971, In 1972 Libya and Tunisia proposed union state did not see the light of theday, that is political understanding of a desert ruler.

He his anti-Africa, whatever the styled of is comment. Libya interest in Nigeria remains basically the same- the destabilise and suppression of African continent to enrich Libya. Why Gadfly forget easily that the world commended the leadership role of Nigeria in the struggle for the total liberation of the African continent.

Jos debacle had dragged on for too long, bringing it's train destruction of lives and properties or in the Niger Delta Region the struggle for self-determination and resources control does not mean secession. disintegration was a bad omen for any country or nation. So united country is advocated as a way out of the continuing crisis.

Federal Government should promote transparent , credible and accountable leadership at all levels of governance for peace and stability of the nation.
