WESTERN POWERS BOMBARD LIBYA

Western powers had overstepped their line of protecting civilians in Libya.The imperialists are busy bombing Tripoli day and night in support of the rebels in Benghazi.These countries Britain,USA and France are believing that peace can be brought by force, not knowing that when they apply the force they will be reaction from people in the continent and around the world.These countries under NATO mission have gone too far beyond the resolution act of 1973.They imposed no fly zone which was successful but they are now bombing Tripoli.

In the beginning they said they were not targeting Gaddafi but there were recent explosions weeks back that killed,one of his sons and three grandchildren in their home.The sitiuation is bad but western powers make it worse and African Union is not barking enough to find a speedy solution, concerning one of its long time members.Libya helped many governments in the continent in a fight agaist colonialism and also paid for membership of other African countries which did not have money to pay in AU. If AU is unable to act quickly some Africans will percieve it as "African cowardice Union".They should not fear to stand agaist these rich and arrogant countries.It has been three months rebels and forces loyal to gaddafi fighting but its never to late for AU to act,Libya should not be forsaken. African leaders should not be myopic to act agaist the transgression of the west in the continent.
