Why does Saif al-Islam want his money back?

An interesting nugget of info on the strange happenings in Libya.

Put simply, no one should be in power for 42 years without being troubled by elections or campaigning. But the European & American cockroaches who have plagued Africa since the slave trade chose to take advantage of genuine uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and called their friends and double agents like Mousa Kousa, that they'd been nurturing for over 20 years to hijack genuine uprisings in North Africa & the middle east.

What I find very difficult to forgive is that these bastards have deceived decent people of Benghazi and eastern Libya generally, and dragged them into an unwinnable and long conflict with a western-armed dictator that they hated but were smartly surviving under. These unfortunate people are now pawns in a really dirty game between the Gaddafi family and their western ex-friends. 

Even madder than Gaddafi pater was Sarkozy and his crazy haste to declare that the rebels were now the only legitimate government of Libya. I thought stuff like that was best left to the UN and various regional bodies, like the AU and Arab League in this case. I really wondered what had got into Sarkozy? Was it because he was a pathetic 3rd in the polls in his re-election bid, or was it something else? - like not wanting the witnesses to certain actions to be around.

Now Gaddafi Jnr says he & his crazy dude dad funded Sarkozy's election and want their money back.

Stranger than this allegation is that no one has tried to deny it.

UN should act like this all of the time

The end game is near for Gaddafi's West African friend Gbagbo.  Only in Africa would such a person negotiate.


There was an election in Cote d'Ivoire and the results were very clear. Maybe I'm being simple but if there's an election and one person got 54% of the vote while the other got 46%, then the candidate with 54% has won, and should take office, and that's all there is to it.


But in Africa where anything goes, l'enfant terrible Laurent decided to sit it out and invoke ethnic deities (the last refuge of the sub saharan African scoundrel). Stupidly, some chose to support him due to ethnic chauvinism and religious bigotry and started fighting.

As usual in Africa, the most innocent - women and children - always suffer.

So now with many thousands dead, Gbagbo is trapped in a basement asking for a ceasefire. I say, attach a garden hose to a tap, stick it through an opening in the basement and turn the tap on. As a rat in the basement Gbagbo should be drowned to save Africa one more parasite.

I really hope after this nasty episode, no other African leader would sit tight after elections they've lost. I hope these useless misrulers in Africa would allow the long suffering people of the continent to develop and grow.

Meanwhile, well done to the UN for acting firmly and fairly. I really wish they'd act like this in all circumstances and give the American & European cockroaches less chance to spread chaos in Africa for their own selfish and imperialistic ends.
