Libya: Zuma Says Gaddafi Ready for Truce. NATO & Islamic Militants "Not Interested"

[Distant Observer]

As usual, the Western Powers don't give a damn about African Opinion. There is not even a discussion.

The African Union's repeated efforts to promote a negotiated stop the killings and superivised elections meet the usual patronizing disrespect from the US and former colonial powers. Britain and France are rushing attack helicopters and bunker-busting missiles into the conflict -- of course to protect the defenseless civilians.

Life in Tripoli has stopped with drastic shortages of food and fuel. Libya will be bombed or strangled into submission. A compliant regime will be installed. The country will be cleansed of black immigrants and non-muslims.

But a awful stench of imperialism and racism hangs over the gatherings of victor as they mingle in Benghazi - that famous center of the North African slave trade where Arabs sold black to whites over the past centuries.
