2011 Counter-revolution against Gaddafi underlines the reemergence of enslavement and genocide

By Abayomi Azikiwe

Although Libya had given up most of its offensive and defensive weapons in an effort to avoid war with the imperialists during the same time period as the destruction of Iraq in 2003, the Gaddafi forces were able to defeat the counter-revolutionaries chasing them back into their launching base of Benghazi by the second week of March 2011. Not willing to see the triumph of the Libyan military over its agents, the U.S. and other NATO governments went before the United Nations Security Council to pass two resolutions mandating an arms and economic embargo against the Jamahiriya as well as a massive bombing campaign which lasted for seven months.

The counter-revolutionaries fighting the Libyan government were labelled as “freedom fighters” attempting to institute “democracy” inside the country. Tens of thousands of Libyans and other Africans lost their lives in the process while the basic infrastructure of the AU’s most prosperous state was destroyed. These atrocities were committed under the leadership of the first “Black” president of the U.S. Barack Obama, who also escalated the presence of the Africa Command (AFRICOM) on the continent, with Libya being its first full mission.

Similar to the events in Ivory Coast, there were African governments and non-state entities which supported the recolonization of Libya. Today these same states are suffering from destabilization, the continuing impoverishment of their people emanating from the economic dependency on the imperialist nations.

Despite the purported “Arab Spring” seizure of power in Libya, some six years later, the country is one of the most unstable and destitute in Africa. Numerous attempts to configure a compliant neo-colonial dispensation in Libya have failed miserably. In 2017, at least three identifiable sources of putative “authority’ are in existence while militias and criminal gangs roam free throughout the country reigning down havoc upon millions.

The existence of slave marts in Libya is a by-product of imperialist intervention. This situation did not arise spontaneously and is a natural socially evolutionary process emerging from the failure of world capitalism struggling desperately to exert its influence over the majority of humanity.

But to The NUMBER 1 Beast, America: Through ‪#AFRICOM‬ you have sent your wicked mischief-makers into ‪#Africa‬. And after you killed my brother ‪#Gadhafi‬, what did you do? Well, just as I heard somebody say once, “Who let the dogs out?” America, when you killed my brother you let the dogs loose. EVERYTHING that you have done that you thought would be “in your favor” is now coming against YOU; ALL of your “mischief-making,” ALL of your “putting one brother against another,” “one kingdom against another,” “one nation against another,” “one people against another”: Keep on going, because it’s coming back HOME TO YOU!" #Farrakhan: The Time and What Must be Done pt 8 http://www.finalcall.com http://www.noi.org
