Before We Criticize Late Ghaddafi(ex President Of Libya) by Sparonani(m): 2:49pm On Sep 08, 2015
You are free to judge Gaddafi and condemn him
as much as you like, but first, allow me to give
you facts on what Gaddafi did/intended to do in
Africa.

1. Africa spends billions every year paying
Europe for using satellite communication
systems, in entertainment, security,
business or just communications. Gaddafi
wanted to get rid of that by paying and
setting up satellite system for entire Africa for free, saving Africa billions annually
going to europe.

2. Africa is divided into over 55 countries,
with different currencies. This makes it
hard for trade between African countries. If
I wanna buy Cocoa from Ivory coast, I'll
have to change my money into US dollars
(giving US 5-10% of my money), they I will probably have to turn the dollars into
euro, losing another 5-10% of my capital
to europe, then change my euro into
ivorian franc, again losing another 5-10%
of my money to the french treasury. If I
started with about South African rand of 1000, by the time I am purchasing cocoa
in I vory coast, my money will be worth
only rands 650 to 700, the other rand 300
will be in the hands of US and Europe.
Gaddafi wanted to get rid of this and
replace it with DINAR (An African currency) for doing business in Africa without
changing the value…almost like bitcoin that
can't be manipulated easily.

3. Gaddafi's government made sure all
Libyan investment like oiLibya were all
within Africa.

4. Gaddafi Nationalized oil in Libya, mean,
the government had control over the
resources, sold it and used the money to
provide services to the country. With
nationalized resources, Libyans didn't have
to pay taxes, received free health care, free education from birth to PHD or as far as
you wish, free housing for the poor and
subsidies on things like food etc. The only
people who worked in Libya were Chines,
Tchadians, sudanese, and other African
Immigrants.

5. Libya was one of the free countries in the
world that did not have any form of debts
whatsoever. Libya had more money than it's
population could use and had billions stores a
way around the world. All the money Libya
stored in Europe has been squandered by European governments.

6. During Gaddafi's lifetime, AU functions
were fully funded by Libya, accommodation
for leaders, transportations, and day to day
activities at the AU headquarters, now that
is being done by European Union. As the
saying goes "He who pays the piper calls the tune"
These are hard facts of what Colonel
Gaddafi, self proclaimed African King of
Kings did to the Continent only for us to watch him humiliated and killed like an
animal without us raising a voice.

7. Gaddafi spent millions and millions
helping Mali and niger with high level
irrigation in the deserts so people can be
self sustained.Paid full and never expected
anything back.

8. Way before the BRICS came up with
idea of forming their own development
bank to rival world bank and IMF, Gaddafi
already initiated a high level talks into
starting an African Development Bank
where African governments would go and borrow money at low rates for
developments of things like infrastructure,
academic institutions, medical institutions,
research institutions among other things.
This would have saved Africa from IMF and
their predatory lending habits of structural adjustment programs which are notorious
in keeping countries in porvety while they
take ownership of your natural resources. Gaddafi was not perfect or an angel, but he
was better than 80% of the world leaders.

NOW LOOK AT YOUR LEADER AND THEN
COME HERE AND CONDEMN GADDAFI. The people Nato helped from Benghazi to
attack Gaddafi are all now confirmed
members of ISIS creating chaos in North
Africa and middle east.

Bob Marley once sang "How long shall they
kill our prophets, while we stand a side and
look"

Sad truth, Africans despise theirs and worship the Westerners.
