Witnessing the Transition to Fear in Tripoli

Axis of Logic

3rd September, 2011

Axis of Logic Editor’s Comment: Lizzie Phelan is one of the few independent journalists who weathered the storm of the US/NATO bombing of Tripoli and their mercenaries’ invasion of the city. She was reporting from inside the Rixos Hotel and then moved nearby to the Hotel Corinthia, still amidst raging gun battles between government forces and the NATO mercenaries. She escaped Libya in a fishing boat which took her and others to Malta earlier this week. Today, she gives her first report since leaving Libya. We are indebted to Lizzie and other independent journalists whose work removed the mask of the corporate media and their paymasters. We look forward to more of her reports based on the months that she covered the war from inside Libya. – Les Blough, Editor

EE.UU. y las potencias capitalistas de la UE están empeñadas en volver a resucitar elcolonialismo usando como instrumento la capacidad militar de la OTAN. Cuando un gobierno no les gusta, primero lo demonizan a través de los medios de comunicación, y, luego, lo invaden.

PARIS – RÉPUBLIQUE : J’ai assisté, cet après-midi, à la manifestation contre la guerre en Libye. Une guerre nazie menée par des nazis qui ne veulent pas que l’Afrique progresse.

Qu’à cela ne tienne, personne ne peut tuer la conscience. Ils peuvent tuer tous les leaders qui veulent faire sortir l’Afrique de l’ornière -cas de Kadhafi-, mais, d’autres leaders naîtront. Ainsi, après la manifestation, nous nous sommes liés à une autre qui avait lieu à proximité, concernant la Côte d’Ivoire.

Libye – Dans les méandres de la démoncratie [démocraSSie]

Posted by seumasach on September 5, 2011

5th August, 2011

Démoncratie ou démocraSSie, c’est à chacun de choisir ! La démocratie ne saurait être la panacée de la gouvernance mondiale. L’Europe ne saurait imposer aux autres ce qu’elle même n’applique pas dans les faits. Au lieu de chercher à l’imposer par les missiles, les bombes ou des massacres à grande échelle comme en Libye, 60 000 morts chez les civils, elle ferait mieux d’étudier les sociétés, car, d’une à l’autre, la vision sociétale diffère.

Glasgow protest: Stop the bombing of Libya!

Posted by seumasach on September 4, 2011

At the moment of writing NATO leaders, who planned this attack on Libya well before the Arab Spring, are fighting shamelessly over the spoils of war. This, however, is premature since the battle for Libya still goes on.

Zimbabwe: the greatest transfer of property in southern Africa

The New Era

4th September, 2011

On 25 August 2011, a story appeared in the New Era’s newspaper with the former Governor of Omusati Region, Nangolo Leonard Mukwiilongo, reported to have urged the government to revise its land distribution policy, because, according to Mukwiilongo, ‘the government has failed to address the land issue…which renders fruitless the liberation struggle that was in part driven by Namibians’ quest for land from which they were uprooted’.
