Gadaafi to supply Mugabe with death squads?***Relations between Mugabe and Gadaafi have been warm for some time but it is only in the last year, as Zimbabwe's shortage of foreign exchange has caused repeated fuel cut-offs that Mugabe has several times flown to Tripoli to plead with Gadaafi for deliveries on credit. Gadaafi, who has despaired of his efforts to play a leadership role in the Arab world, has begun to use his financial muscle to make interventions right across black Africa where he has made Zimbabwe a special case, advancing Mugabe a loan of $100 million.
He then made a special trip to last month's OAU summit in Lusaka - the first such summit he had attended since 1977 - to give all-out support to Mugabe's land-grabbing and anti-white policies. So large was the Libyan delegation that Gadaafi even upstaged leaders like ex-President Mandela. African leaders anxious to earn some of his largesse were even willing to overlook the fact that before Gadaafi used any chair or microphone an African had previously used, his bodyguards would rush forward to disinfect it. "It's amazing", said one Zimbabwean farmer who did not wish to be named, "how black or Arab racism gets overlooked. Whenever we hear racists being denounced it always means whites. But on Heroes Day we had to listen to (Vice President) Joe Msika telling us that whites were not even humans."
From Lusaka Gadaafi drove down to Harare in a 150 car motorcade, his army of amazon women bodyguards virtually taking over Harare. He publicly embraced Mugabe's views in an extraordinary TV appearance in which he announced that Africa was for the Africans and that whites must go back to Europe and only be allowed to stay on as servants. It was also announced that Gadaafi had promised Mugabe $586 million in fuel supplies and had made a $900,000 election contribution to the funds of Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party.***
Gaddafi's designs and control of Zimbabwe and Africa***Gadaafi, who has despaired of his efforts to play a leadership role in the Arab world, has begun to use his financial muscle to make interventions right across black Africa where he has made Zimbabwe a special case, advancing Mugabe a loan of $100 million. In effect Gadaafi seems to be making a bid to save Mugabe which, if successful, would create a virtual Libyan client state at the far end of Africa. Already there is evidence of direct Libyan involvement in the violence which racked Zimbabwean farms in the last ten days. ***
Political correctness is going to hang us all. And the Western suicide by PC is going to also do great damage to everyone else.
