African Union largely silent about Gaddafi’s death

The African Union has remained largely silent about the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddhafi, who once led the alliance and served as its largest benefactor.

AU commission chairman Jean Ping released a statement on Friday simply noting Gaddafi’s death.

Mr. Ping then focused on the African Union’s concern for the Libyan people, their aspirations and the need for national reconciliation.

    Africa is a punching bag for the West.Some short minded puppet leaders are being used as pawns inorder to convey fallacy ideologies such as democracy, human rights, globalisation, good governance etc.Why are African leaders with pro-African ideologies always get labels like dictators?

    Africa is a punching bag for the West.some short minded leaders are used as pawns inorder to convey so called sweet ideologies such as democracy, human rights, globalisation and good governance.Why are only African leaders with pro-African ideologies mostly called dictators? We should brew our own African political philosophies.

    i must say that the people of Libyan will regret what they have just done, because in their next life to come they will never get somebody like Moammar Gadhadfi, as i no Moammar Gadhadfi is the best leader that Africa has ever produce in the history of Africa, what i have to tell the Libyan is that they have to rethink very well because this is the begging of their problems.

    i hope they know that America is built on Taxes and are globally taxed residents. Now Gadaffi is gone, and the “American Democracy” will creep in, don’t want to hear another song sing.

    The only thing Gadaffi ever did is look out for his ppl. and like all parents do, discipline their kids when they dis obey.

    Why should Africa answer to the West, Africa knows what they have lost, is now Africa is in trouble, when the French, Italian and the USA gets into Libia God help the people, just look at the state oh the Caribbean where the west has won, Slave mentality is what they will have now for sure.
