The Death of Muammar Gaddafi - What significant is there to the Pan-African Liberation
Movement?
By Abdul Jabbar Caliph, Chief Editor
On October 20, 2011 Muammar Gaddafi was brutally murdered by
pro-capitalist insurgent members in an effort to usher in new era oppression;
exploitation; rape and pillage within the colonialist boarders of Libya for
African people! This is a fact that we in the Pan-African International
community full understand, for we are aware of the implications of the murder
of Gaddafi and what it means to the African Liberation Movement and it forces!
As Revolutionary soldiers of the movement we understand that it is our task to
help you to understand what this means to the movement!
Libya is a country that approximately made up of 679,362 sq.
miles. It is located in the northern part of Africa that is heavily populated
by Arab speaking people. Its economy is heavily depending upon the production
of petroleum (oil) and petroleum based goods which only employs a small
percentage of it people. Libya also products a small amount of gypsum, iron
ore, lime, and natural gas along with sulfur. The rest of this country economy
is based on service industries, construction and agriculture goods. Currently
Africa is responsible for 25% of the world’s oil export.
Into his death Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi had been the head
of state since September 1969, 42 years, due to a successful revolution that
overthrew the King and allowed the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) to seize
and consolidate its power base. Immediately upon becoming the head of State he
begin to preach an ideology, Pan-Arabism, that was detrimental to Africa and
her people in an effort to gain unity
among various Arab States. They out rightly reject any type of unity with him
regardless of the fact that he was an Arab and a Muslim.
Throughout the Seventies and Eighties Gaddafi begin
supporting a number of liberation movements throughout the world, particularly
the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Chad, Morocco, Uganda and Western
Sahara region of Africa. This had led to many so called leaders publically
coming out against him. Because of his stance against the imperialist
aggression shown towards people of color he had a fall out in 1986 with the
United States of America, this result in breaking off all relationships with
Libya and accused Libya of supporting international terrorism.
This resulted in a bitter war between these two nations. In
March of 1986, the government of Libya opened fire on US military aircraft over
the Gulf of Sidra, a clear violation of Libya’s airspace. This resulted in the
United States launching a vicious bombing campaign against Libya. The second
part of this war erupted in 1989 when two United States of America military
aircraft shot down two Libyan military aircraft flying over the Mediterranean Sea.
Because of this bitter antagonism between these two nations
and a drop in Libya oil price Gaddafi was forced to improve relationships with
other nations and establish a more promenade role inside of the Organization of
African Unity (OAU) now called the African Unity (AU). A group of weak,
spineless neo-colonialist bootlicking Negros, they don’t even deserve to be
called Africans. Gaddafi sought leadership inside of this organization by
daring to offer them the chance for serious change in the affairs of Africa.
The death of Gaddafi exposed some serious
weakness and contradictions in the African Liberation Movement and in the socialist
movement as it exist under its’ current backward leadership. First, no African
country or socialist country came to the aid of Gaddafi, instead they stood by
and watched his cold bloody murder and that of thousands of Africans living and
working inside of Libya. Second, the African Union never ones opposed the
bombing of Libya (only in lip service) and the removal of Gaddafi if they did
they would have never recognized the current regime as representatives of
Libya, some people will do anything for money. Third, the death of Gaddafi ushered
in a new era of capitalism and neo-colonialism that is a planned attack against
the masses of African people not only in Libya but also throughout Africa
itself. Finally, the plans of imperialist conquest have been espoused for all
to see through the use of AFRICOM, an imperialist counter-revolutionary army
that is involved in military campaigns in Southern Sudan; Somalia; the Congo
and Uganda for the control of the natural resources in these countries.
As a Pan-African Internationalist is my duty to point out to
you that Neo-colonialism poses a serious threat to the security Africa for it
defines its relationship through its ties to Imperialism. It is this
relationship that is responsible for the current backwards development inside
of many African nations. Neo-colonialism
is responsible for the continued rape and pillage of the natural resources of
Africa and the oppression and exploitation of many Africans because of the lack
of development of an infrastructure that will support the positive development
of any Pan-African institution that will push forth the liberation and freedom
of African people.
Comrades let us remember the words of Kwame Nkrumah when he
pointed out the following facts about neo-colonialism “Neo-colonialism is the
worst form of imperialism. For those who practice it, it means power without
responsibility, and for those who suffer from it, it means exploitation without
redress.” Neo-colonialism must be crushed and overthrown for it is just a
cancer and must be surgical removed.
Before his untimely
death Gaddafi purposed such revolutionary changes as a central African Monterey
Banking system that would have freed African people of the parasitic
relationship that currently exist between Africa and the International Monterey
Fund (IMF) which charges Africa an enormous price for development loans of the
resources that she already owns and of which the global economy is based upon
and the formation of a United States of Africa as purposed by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah
a revolutionary giant that fought for the freedom and unification of Africa.
Comrades if Africa is to truly know any freedom and
independence then she must complete the revolutionary phase of the sixties. She
must begin so by demanding the immediate removal of AFRICOM from the shores of
Africa because of her imperialist wars of aggression, along with the demand for
the immediate dismissal of the neo-colonialist agency known as the OAU/AU for
its ineffectiveness and betrayal of the revolutionary principals put forth by
the African working class. Immediately after issuing these two demands we must
begin the immediate mobilization for the establishment of the Republic of
Africa under the leadership of the African working class this would allow for
the removal of the artificial colonialist boarders that currently exist in
Africa today.
Comrades let us be about the work, the work of gaining
genuine independences and freedom for all African people particularly the
African working class who are suffering the most. Let us be about the work of
making revolution; progress and establishing a Republic of Africa under the
leadership of the African working class, the only class that loves Africa and
is fit for leadership! It is this class that will led Africa and her people
into a new glorious future ending the parasitic relationship that has currently
existed for over five hundred years.
