In 2010 Muammar Gaddafi offered to invest US$97 billion in Africa to free it from Western influence, on condition that African states rid themselves of corruption and nepotism.
Gaddafi always dreamed of a developed, united Africa and was about to make that dream come true - and nothing is more terrifying to the West than a developed, united Africa.
Here is a selection of the initiatives Libya has already put in place in Africa, as well as some of the projects it is planning, explaining why the West's illegal war against Libya also is a war against entire Africa.
AFRICAN UNION: Libya is one of the biggest contributors to the budget of the African Union. A Libyan diplomat told Reuters Libya is one of five countries - the others are Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa - which cover 75 percent of the Union's budget. "Libya makes its full required contribution to AU funds. Not all countries do and that buys it influence," a senior African Union official said.
MALI: For several years Mali has been confronted with the activities of the radical Islamist militia al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in its northern deserts. Gaddafi’s money and diplomacy have helped to resolve conflicts in northern Mali between rebels and the government. In 2010 Libya (gave) Mali two security planes to combat insecurity in the north of the country.
CONGO: Libya put US$65 billion into sovereign wealth funds, including one specifically designed to make investments in Africa. The Libyan Arab African Investment Company, a vehicle of Libya's Africa sovereign wealth fund, owned Le Meridien, one of the biggest hotels in Congo. In 2010, Libya planned to fund the building of a highway north of Congo's capital Brazzaville, where also the building of a mosque was planned.
LIBERIA: Libya provided millions in investment projects, helping to strengthen the rule of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in one of Africa’s most impoverished nations. Gaddafi's help included funding of a rubber processing factory built in Gbarnga, Bong County, a technical and vocational school for the handicapped, as well as Libyan assistance in helping Liberia tackle the food crisis and renovation for the Ducor Intercontinental Hotel.
NIGER: Also in Niger Gaddafi helped to prop up the government and the authorities. Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi visited Niger in August 2010 and announced the creation of a US$100 million investment fund for Niger as part of a strengthening of bilateral ties. Under earlier agreements, Libya contributed 100 million euro for the construction of a Trans-Sahara highway in the north of Niger, according to sources close to Niger's Foreign Ministry. The local subsidiary of Libya Oil and were the major players in Niger's fuel retailing business.
CHAD: Gaddafi was a key supporter of the government. Chad has been plagued by civil wars and invasions after its independence from France in 1960. After years of unrest, Gaddafi sealed a peace agreement for Chad between four Chadian rebel groups and the Chadian government in 2007, which agreement was signed in Sirte. In 2010 Libya made a huge investment in Chad's National Telecom, which meant a boost of the number of the Chadian mobile phone users from 100 000 to two million.
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: Libya helped to prop up the fragile government, sending paratroopers into the capital in 2001 to defeat a rebel assault. In 2008 Gaddafi played a role in the formation of a peace agreement between the government and rebel groups.
MAURITANIA: Gaddafi was the first Head of State to visit after a 2008 coup which brought President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz to power. Aziz, who subsequently won a Presidential election, visited Gaddafi several times. Even Mauritanian opposition politicians went to Tripoli to pledge allegiance to the Libyan leader. Mauritania has debts to Libya of about US$200m. During discussions on debt relief in May 2010, the Libyan Central Bank announced Libya would provide US$50m in grants to build a hospital and a university. The university was to be named after Gaddafi.
SUDAN: The 20 000-troop peacekeeping mission in Dafur, jointly supported by the African Union and the United Nations, could be hampered if the AU loses funding from Gaddafi and destabilize the country. Gaddafi, who blamed the crisis in Darfur on Israel, made a number of attempts to broker peace talks between Darfur rebels and the Sudanese government.
In October 2010, Gaddafi warned ahead of a vote on possible independence for South Sudan that a partition of the country would be a “contagious disease” that could spread to other African states.
ETHIOPIA: The African Union, based in Ethiopia's capital, could find itself in financial trouble if it loses the massive support from Libya. Under Gaddafi’s rule, Libya supplied 15 percent of the AU’s membership dues, and it also paid the dues of many smaller and poorer African nations. To seek for a solution of the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict, Gaddafi sent a special envoy to Ethiopia in 2000. In 2008, Oil Libya bought Shell Ethiopia. This agreement also included retaining all Shell employees, who were hoping to work in a better environment.
SOMALIA: The African Union peace keeping mission, whose 8 000 soldiers are crucial to the battle against Islamic radicals in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, could be severely weakened if the AU lost Libya’s financial support. In 2008 Libya decided to grant an investment fund to Somalia through the Sahel-Saharan Investment and Trade Bank to fund infrastructures such as roads and bridges within Somalia.
GAMBIA: Libyan firms owned two hotels and the "Dream Park" entertainment centre in Gambia. Gambian agriculture received support from Libya, including a donation of seven new tractors. In 2009 Gaddafi gave two camels to Gambian President Yahya Jammeh as a gift. The Libyan and Gambian Presidents exchanged visits and senior Gambian officials attended ceremonies to mark the anniversary of Gaddafi coming to power. On September 7, 2009 Gambia celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Al Fateh Revolution: "In Libya everyone enjoys Freedom!"
Iran and Syria's turn
Some researchers are pointing out that Iran is one of only three countries left in the world whose central bank is not under Rothschild control.
Before 9/11 there were reportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Iran. By 2003, however, Afghanistan and Iraq were swallowed up by the Rothschild octopus, and by 2011 Sudan and Libya were also gone. In Libya, a Rothschild bank was established in Benghazi while the country was still at war.
Islam forbids the charging of interest, a major problem for the Rothschild banking system. Until a few hundred years ago, charging interest was also forbidden in the Christian world and was even punishable by death.
It was considered exploitation and enslavement.
Since the Rothschilds took over the Bank of England around 1815, they have been expanding their banking control over all the countries of the world.
Their method has been to get a country’s corrupt politicians to accept massive loans, which they can never repay, and thus go into debt to the Rothschild banking powers.
If a leader refuses to accept the loan, he is oftentimes either ousted or assassinated. And if that fails, invasions can follow, and a Rothschild usury-based bank is established.
The Rothschilds exert powerful influence over the world’s major news agencies. By repetition, the masses are duped into believing horror stories about evil villains.
The Rothschilds control the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the IMF, the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements.
They also own most of the gold in the world as well as the London Gold Exchange, which sets the price of gold every day.
It is said the family owns over half the wealth of the planet — estimated by Credit Suisse to be US$231 trillion — and is controlled by Evelyn Rothschild, the current head of the family. – America Free Press
