NATO in Libya – UN And ICC Risk Becoming Irrelevant to Africans By Yaw Asare Adu-Otu

9 November 2011 — Global ResearchAllAfrica – 2011-11-09

Repeating the falsehood that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) exercised its military capability in Libya to protect civilians against attack by the military of Gadahfi regime did not make the assertion truthful when reasonable people around the world examined all the facts. Additionally, repeating NATO’s false premise has not made intervention in Libya and brutal murder of Col Gadahfi either legal or legitimate in the context of international law.

Why the attempted remilitarisation of Africa will fail By Horace Campbell

11 November 2011 — PambazukaWhy the attempted remilitarisation of Africa will fail

Lessons from the deployment of Kenyan troops into Somalia

Kenya’s foray into Somalia, led from behind by US Africa Command (AFRICOM), ‘represents a heightened threat to peace and reconstruction in Africa, especially East Africa’, argues Horace Campbell.
