135. Nelson Mandella and Bishop Tutu called Gadaffi 'brother', the leader of an African nation
Sun Jan 31, 2016, 11:25 PM
Jan 2016

whose murder was a war crime, which both of them stated 'no decent person could approve of' referring to Hillary's awful statement which will haunt her forever.

Gadaffi helped Mandella end Apartheid and for that many Africans from many African nations will always remember him.

To the Imperial West of course, like so many people of color, he was a 'problem'. He dared to want to keep Libya's resources under the control of Libya and use them to help other African nations, which he did.

But hey, the world knows that White Imperialists have tradtionally murdered Africans and Brown people for profit.

I like Mandella and Bishop Tutu was saddened that this country, who succeeded in ending Imperial Britain's rule here, have now become what our young nation abhorred.

Forgive me if I share the opinions of two of the world's most respected African leaders, that 'no decent person could applaud the war crime that the was the murder of one more African leader.
