Tomorrow is the seventh anniversary of the assassination of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, the Brother Leader, King of Kings of Africa, Ireland's beloved Colonel.
Seven years ago tomorrow a Western air strike attacked Colonel Gaddafis convoy allowing him to be captured and slaughtered by a baying mob of American mercenaries fracturing the once prosperous Libya, leaving it to the mercy of roaming bands of bloodthirsty outlaws and violent fundamentalists. Condemning the people to a life of fear and ruination.
The last true world leader was eliminated amongst a cloud of lies and deceit. We were told about Gaddafis cruelty and torture dungeons but we were not told about the million man marches showing support for Gaddafi or how his supposed army of rapist foreign mercenaries were nothing more than immigrant workers.
The western powers weren't compelled by concern for the people of Libya they didn't fear Gaddafi launching attacks with chemical weapons, they feared his sharp tongue and unwavering ability and determination to identify and speak the realities of modern geopolitics.
Gaddafi had visions of a strong unified Africa. He stood up for the causes of the oppressed and down trodden, he opposed Imperialism and western expansion. He certainly was no angel but as world leaders go he was a true hero.
