Libya has been at the heart of a brutal aggression and
foreign occupation since 2011. This criminal war is getting
more serious by the day, with no ray of hope that the
situation could normalise soon. As such, the Libyan nation
is subjected to heinous crime and crime against humanity,
including ethnic genocide, enforced disappearances and
summary executions, displacement of whole communities,
custodial torture, sexual violence and merciless looting of
the country’s rich natural resources and wealth.
The
pattern of systematic violations of human rights by the
occupation forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
(NATO) and Islamic terrorist groups is highly responsible
for fuelling the Libyan crisis, which has become a forgotten
chapter. We believe if there was any genuine attempt to
address the situation, after the brutal murder of the Libyan
leader-Colonel Mohammed Gaddafi on 20th October, 2021 the
ongoing genocide would have been averted. Shame on the
African Union and the United Nations for betraying the
conscience of the masses of the African people. Shame on the
human rights’ organisations and the corporate media for
their role in allowing the African continent to be raped and
violently occupied by foreign criminal
adventurers.
Today in their effort to prop the status
quo without regards to human rights, NATO and its allies
have resorted to punishments of any Libyan or group of
Libyans who demand that the sanctity of the North African
nation not be violated. These actions, together with the
fact that the onetime active corporate media has now become
mute and abandoned Libya, the Libyan people have no other
choice but to stay in their country to patch their shattered
lives.

The truth is that, anytime NATO attempts to
reject criticism of its genocide campaign in Libya, it ends
only to become nothing but gimmickry and deceitful game
intended to hide the truth and their thievery acts of war,
brutal occupation and criminal exploitation of natural
resources and wealth of the Libyan people. We are concern
about this development and warn NATO to stop its violence
against Libya and the African people.
Since the brutal
murder of Colonel Mohammad Gaddafi, NATO has been treating
Libya like a trust territory under its jurisdiction. Under
the current situation, there is just outright and open
corruption by NATO’s proxy government in Tripoli, which
has been placed, ostensibly to manage the affairs and
develop Libya economically, educationally, politically and
otherwise. We have credible information about the privilege
given to a NATO proxy armed group to rein terror on the
Libyan population, with impunity.
The New African
Charter International (NACI) is concerned that some
officials serving in the NATO proxy government in Tripoli
have enriched themselves and their cronies and in turn the
very Libyan people they supposed to serve are neglected.
NACI is extremely concerned over the rapidly deteriorating
security and human rights situation in the NATO
brutally-occupied Libya. NATO and its allies’ continuing
violence against innocent and hapless Africans in Libya is
highly reprehensible. In the face of all of these repulsive
brutality, use of force, unabated repression, and widespread
violations of human rights and international humanitarian
law in Libya, NACI calls on NATO to hold its occupation
forces accountable for the genocide and crimes against
humanity committed in the North African nation, since
2011.
With the above, we demand African-based human
rights organizations and the media to hold joint independent
investigations into the alleged widespread violations of
human rights and international humanitarian law in occupied
Libya. We demand the lifting of the inhuman military
occupation, to allow the people of Libya to exercise their
inalienable right of self-determination in line with United
Nations Charter and international law. We must agree that it
is unfair and unjust for NATO to talk of human rights
violations in the Ukrainian war with Russia, while the same
NATO is unleashing the evil in Africa. NACI is African-based
and African-initiated and administered project, and as such
advocates peace, political stability, freedom, dignity and
unification of the African continent.
NACI believes
the problems of Africa can only be resolved with a lasting
solution, by Africans themselves and not foreigners.
Furthermore, NACI wants to see an African continent flourish
and not diminish with neo-colonial puppets and foreign
criminal adventurers. We want to see an African united under
one currency, one Army and one foreign policy; a New Africa
that is not trapped by dubious foreign debts and an Africa
where good people are place at the helm of affairs to run
our governments and not running the continent down the
drain. The New Africa we aspire is one where individuals
with the right mind set who are willing and able to get the
job done exactly how it should be done.
Having stated
the above, NACI urges all stakeholders in the crisis in
Libya to abandon their trademark by stopping immediately all
attacks on civilians, including summary executions, rape,
kidnappings and assassinations. NATO and its allies are
under obligation to abide by human rights norms and the
provisions of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions
which prohibit hostage-taking, cruel, inhuman, and degrading
treatment, and executions. While we call on the armed
terrorist groups in Libya to desist from using
anti-personnel landmines in their trademark, we call on NATO
forces to end all support for ferocious armed groups in
occupied Libya, and to stop providing indiscriminate weapons
to the butchers of the North African nation.
NACI is
of the opinion that one of the solution to resolving the
Libyan conflict is the holding of peaceful, free, fair and
inclusive transparent elections, allowing all Libyans to
participate either as candidates or voters. We call for an
immediate cessation of the violence that has killed over a
million and half Africans and caused significant destruction
to Libya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This can
be achieved through dialogue among all parties to the
conflict, the mediation of the proposed national dialogue
should be headed by a special envoy of the Alliance of the
Sahel States (AES), humanitarian assistance to be provided
by the larger international community through established
instruments.
The role of the AES in quenching the
hellfire in Libya would go a long way to cement the unity
and Pan-African strength of the Sahel alliance, and its role
as a peace building and unification agent in Africa. Africa
is at a critical juncture that no sane African wants the
continent to remain in its current state of despair. The AES
should make efforts and provide innovative diplomacy to help
restore peace in Libya. Calling upon the AES to play key
role in restoring peace in Libya is not an accident. We
believe, and it is true that the AES is crucial to peace and
stability in Africa, and its centrality in the Libyan peace
process would help to avert a theatre of geopolitical
competition. The AES is the key to achieving the goal of
African unity and political, economic and social
independence.
In conclusion, we call on all Africans
to rally behind NACI to stop all foreign criminal
adventurers in their destiny to continue their looting of
natural resources and wealth of Africa. We call on other
African nations to copy the AES freedom chart and dignity,
to place right individuals with the right mind set to lead
Africa in the direction that is beneficial to all Africans
and peoples of African descent, rather than helping foreign
criminal adventurers to ruin the continent. Like
members-states of the AES, Africans should focus on genuine
and sustainable development of the continent and not be
fooled continuously by the treacherous activities of
imperialist puppet leaders that stand indicted for betraying
the conscience of the masses of the African people. Power
corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, they say,
and so when we fail to plan now then Africa will remain
forever in perpetual bondage.
May God Almighty save
Africa!
Africa must live!!
Africa must
unite!!!
Africa for Africans on the continent and
abroad!!!!
