The Libyan Party ....
It has been and will continue to be Ghedaffi's party for still a long time.
We the Libyan people are mere spectators on a ride to God knows where!
When I was on my last on holiday as usual ,which is the norm I am asked for my nationality. As soon as I splurt out the fact of being Libyan "Gheddaffi "I hear is the shocking reply. I cant bargain ,buy or even comment without the label Mr. Gheddaffi has given me , which is untrue. I am not loaded and I have to work hard for a living nor I am related to any of his friends or relatives and I don't agree with any of his so called governmental strategies .Yet I get labeled a Gheddaffi !
Nobody ever speaks or writes about the Libyan people . This time they were uninvited to the "PARTY " which Gheddaffi held to show the world that hes changed.The people were told to stay at home and watch their party thorough a tv which emphasizes their freedom and monies spent on this so called THEIR PARTY.I mean really we have people who get by with salaries and a lot of debt at their neighboring food store pleading with the shop keeper to prolong the debt ...
Why the extravaganza? the glitter ? An air show,to top it all Italian planes flying up above in our blue skies, promoting the Italian flag , and our younger generation were brained washed in to thinking of them as the Fascists and enemy not a long while back. Libyan people are a bunch of sheep who will never leave the shepard who holds the stick and tells them where to go. But a life loving shepherd takes care and loves his sheep whereas with Gheddaffi it is not the case,and never was.
Whenever foreign policy hit Gheddaffi in the past ,through sanctions and other limitations to his and his family's huge accounts over all the world,it would back fire on us the Libyan people. Who will compensate us for the loss of the years living in deprivation and unknown expectancies of the future?
Yet everybody in the world gets compensated but the Libyan people and the life they have been living which is no party !
now the latest is the IRA ,asking to be refunded for their loss !I mean really what have done ???
African leaders come and leave with God only knows how much money and presents are given them. We the Libyan people must stay put or else will never see the daylight s ever......
Now the world has accepted him and we still pay for the atrocities and bad reputation he rewarded us .Its simply a no win game where nobody but Mr. Gheddaffi and his clan profit.
And the Libyan People ? What Libyans, Gheddaffis you mean ?? Here the saying of money talks is to be the quote of choice..... sigh
