[mukto-mona] RE: Gaddafi's death and Africa..

I liked this report from an African point of view.
 

<< After Mr Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994, he rejected pressure from Western leaders - including then-US President Bill Clinton - to sever ties with Col Gaddafi, who bankrolled his election campaign.

 
"Those who feel irritated by our friendship with President Gaddafi can go jump in the pool," he said.
 
Instead, Mr Mandela played a key role in ending Col Gaddafi's pariah status in the West by brokering a deal with the UK over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. >>
 
         According to Pepe Escobar from Sao Paolo, Brazil, NATO wanted Ghaddafi dead a long time ago as the last remaining impediment in turning the Mediterranean into a NATO lake.  We are now going to see Al Quaeda, and other Wahhabi jehadists move into Libya fast.  They are already destroying centuries-old Muslim Sufi saints' shrines.

** What does Gaddafi's death mean for Africa? **

The death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi leaves a huge hole in African politics, writes the BBC's Farouk Chothia.
