Support for Libya: "There are no Libyans protesting against Gaddafi - Alimamy Bakarr Sankoh
23 February 2011By Alimamy Bakarr Sankoh
Following is a press release by the President of the
"Hugo Chavez International Foundation for Peace,
Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS)"
Freetown, Sierra Leone-West Africa
Support for Libya
The attention of the Hugo Chavez International
Foundation for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS)
has been drawn to imperialist-driven,
colonialist-driven, Zionist-driven, anti-Libyan agenda
doctored by detractors to the peace, stability,
unification and development of Africa. The anti-Libyan
covert agenda which started a week ago has one
objective: "to instigate a violent insurrection
against the Libyan Revolution, led by Muammar Qathafi".
Much as we, in the HCI-FPFS are concerned, we have
recorded with great regret the exploitation and
misleading interpretation of an isolated and painful
incident that happened in the Libyan city of Benghazi,
meant to embarrass Muammar Qathafi and the Libyan
people.
Our sources in and outside Libya revel that, contrary
to foreign machinations, there is nothing like
"Libyans protesting against the revolutionary
leadership of Muammar Qathafi". There is just no
evidence whatsoever to place Libya on the queue with
Bahrain, Jordan and Yemen as countries in the Middle
East that are facing anti-governments protests. In
fact the reality on the ground in Libya shows that
Libyans are behind their charismatic leaders and are
satisfied with the gains of the September 1st Al-Fateh
Revolution, led by Muammar Qathafi.
Our sources reveal also that there was a gathering of
immigrants in Benghazi, mainly Arabs from Egypt,
Tunisia, Jordan and Bahrain to express their
solidarity with compatriots at home. Attempts by the
competent Libyan security to stop the activities of
these immigrants resulted into scuffled where the
immigrants resorted to violent attacks against
security forces. In the process, the immigrants
started mouthing anti-Qathafi slogans, accusing the
Libyan leader of doing nothing to support protesters
in Tunesia, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Bahrain.
As a matter of fact, well established, the Libyan
Government of Muammar Qathafi has time and again spelt
it crystal clear that it has no territorial ambition
beyond the national sovereignty and independence of
Libya. The Government has also maintained that it has
no interest meddling in the domestic matters of
another sovereign nation and member-state of the
United Nations.
To say that there are anti-government protests going
on in Libya is fictitious and a figment of imagination
by those who seek to destroy the peace, stability and
progress the African continent has chalked since the
transformation of the Organisation of Africa Unity (OAU)
to the African Union (AU) in 2000. What the enemies of
Muammar Qathafi cannot deny is that Libyans protested
en mass in Tripoli to reaffirm their support for their
leaders and to denounce attempts by foreign detractors
to instigate insurrection against their Government and
country.
Like the so-called opposition to the Governments of
Venezuela and Iran, Libya's opposition constitute of a
group of terrorists recruited, trained, funded and
lodged in the United States. With no chance of
manipulating the people, this so-called opposition
rely instead on lies, armed violence, terrorism to
ferment a political crises that will lead to the fall
of the Government. Using their international business
connections, especially ties to the corporate media,
the opposition has manufactured an image of itself as
the true champion of freedom in Libya.
Media manipulation is one success the opposition has
succeeded in mobilizing the mainstream media to create
an image of Muammar Qathafi as a tyrant and the
opposition as democratic freedom fighters. For
instance, the international media have run several
vicious stories comparing events in Egypt and Tunesia.
Although the Libyan masses have explained their anger
against attempts by foreign powers to destroy their
leader, the mainstream media deliberately refused to
report the anger of the Libyan people towards the
enemies of Muammar Qathafi.
The enemies of Africa are bent of misusing their media
platforms to demonise, dehumanize and lie about the
Great Al-Fateh Revolution of 1st September, 1969.
Having stated the above, we disseminate this Press
Release categorically rejecting all the forms of
violence and anarchy and denouncing the irresponsible
reckless behaviours of the corporate media and foreign
Institutions, particularly Amnesty International
(United Kingdom) and Human Rights Watch (New York) in
their reporting and analysis of the situation in
Libya.
We denounced the unwholesome western media campaigns
aimed to damage Libya's reputation, sow hatred and
grudge and use current events in the Middle East for
suspicious ends with erroneous statements and
groundless allegations about Libya and the leadership
of Muammar Qathafi. These media campaigns tend to pave
the way for detractors and skeptics to harm Libya's
image by means of manipulation and lies in order to
stir up ill- feeling, destabilize the country and
question the gains and achievements of the Al-Fateh
Revolution. The Hugo Chavez International Foundation
for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS) notes
with great satisfaction the role of the Libyan leader
in moving Africa forward through peace, freedom and
development.
These moves testify to the rightness of the renewed
vision of Muammar Qathafi in matters of Unification of
Africa, and development across the continent.

Alimamy Bakarr SANKOH
