Black Libyans Ironically Suffer From Black (U.S.) President

It is ironic that America's first Black President has resulted in more and more suffereing among Africa's Black populations, that has been supported by big business interests in the media. Globalresearch.ca affirms that the evidence of public lynchings of Black people are, indeed, readily available online through simple Google or YouTube searches. But, U.S. corporate media organizations, like The New York Times, have sought to ignore this issue. Instead The New York Times is too busy boasting of it's support for NATO's bombing campaign, which has killed thousands of innocent civilians. The Times has also ignored U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich's call that the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigate NATO commanders on possible war crimes in connection to Libyan civilians killed. Media organizations like The Times can't write about the ethnic cleansing of Black Libyans and migrants from other African countries because it would diminish the reputation of the "rebels" who The Times have fully embraced, even after reports that that they, too, have committed war crimes. Instead, the Big Business interests that control most of the mass media are comfortable with the simplistic narrative: "al-Quathafi bad", and "the rebels good".








^^^^This is why I no longer support Obama.

    When international law is broken, we are humans, are left with an international system organized by the kind of barbarians and criminals which have taken over Libya, and seek to control the rest of our planet Earth.

    Rebel Fighters Target Black Libyans, Sub-Saharan Africans, Amnesty Reports

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/01/black-libyans-sub-saharan-africans-targeted_n_945374.html


    Black Libyans and sub-Saharan Africans are being targeted by rebel fighters who suspect them of backing Muammar Qaddafi, Amnesty International said.

    Amnesty investigators this week visited the Central Tripoli Hospital and the capital’s morgue where they witnessed abuses, including men being dragged from hospital beds and detained, the London-based group said in a statement late yesterday. Some people are afraid to leave their homes, it said.

    Sub-Saharan Africans risk reprisals from NATO-backed rebels because of allegations that Qaddafi used African mercenaries during the six-month conflict, Amnesty said. Many black Libyans are from the western town of Tawarga, which rebels associate with the shelling and siege of nearby Misrata by pro-Qaddafi forces, it said.

    “The problem is black Libyans always were seen as outsiders, and this stems probably from how Qaddafi decided he would be an African leader of an African state and encouraged a large amount of African immigrants, some of whom served in his wars,” Shashank Joshi, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, said today in an interview.

    Mustafa Abdel Jalil, head of the National Transitional Council, has urged opposition fighters not to seek revenge. In May, the council issued guidelines for its forces to act in accordance with international laws and standards. Mahmoud Shamman, a spokesman for the council in Dubai, didn’t answer calls seeking comment on the Amnesty statement.

    ‘Lofty Ideals’
    “This reflects very badly on the NTC,” Joshi said of the Amnesty report. “They have said the right things, but their ability to enforce those lofty ideals on those with the guns in the streets is a lot more difficult.”

    In visits to detention centers in Zawiya and Tripoli, Amnesty said it was told that between a third and a half of those detained were from Sub-Saharan Africa.

    The rebels seem “to confuse black people with mercenaries,” African Union Commission Chairman Jean Ping told reporters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, on Aug. 29.

    The council will need to “show sensitivity to these concerns” if the rebel forces attempt to take Sirte, Joshi said. Jalil yesterday gave Qaddafi supporters in his hometown until Sept. 3 to surrender or face attacks.

    Hold Fighters Accountable
    In the statement, Claudio Cordone, a senior director at Amnesty, called on the council to ensure its fighters are held accountable.

    “Fighters engaging in abuses should be immediately removed from active duty, pending investigation,” he said.

    During an Aug. 28 visit to a poor residential area of Tripoli, Amnesty investigators found a group of Eritreans who wouldn’t leave their homes because they feared being attacked, according to the report.

    The following day, Amnesty said its investigators saw three rebels drag a black Libyan from his bed at the Central Tripoli Hospital and detain him. Two other black Libyans receiving treatment for gunshot wounds were told by anti-Qaddafi forces that “their turn was coming,” according to the report.

    Amnesty said its workers examined that same day the body of an unidentified black man who was brought into the Tripoli Medical Center morgue by unknown men. While he bore no visible injuries, his feet and his torso were tied and blood was smudged around his mouth.

    Obama is a fraud, I'm glad people are finally catching on. I know there are some here who always knew this, but I'm glad more of us are seeing the light. Obama is a puppet for oil and corporate interests. Nothing more.

    The white cracka side of Obama is showing up everyday......

    attacks against Black Libyans and Black Sub-Saharan African migrant workers... have been going on long before this year's uprisings

    so I hope thread starter doesn't think this is going on recently when plans began to be implemented to remove Gaddaffi

    Blacks have been attacked in Libya for over 10 years (as far as I know) and maybe even longer..nobody gave a ?

    Aren't like what/don't play what ? ?

    Be careful when you romanticize people in other countries because the grass looks greener on the other side.

    What can random Black people in the U.S do for the Blacks in Libya? If there a human rights violations in Libya going on, everyone should be standing up for them.

    as far as the difference between the us diaspora and the rest of the so-called black world, pound for pound its true. this is from travelling globally. however, i do think that blacks in america cant do ? for themselves (as a whole) much less for anyone else inside the confines of the u.s and the mental prison of western culture.
