The Libyan people deserve more respect
The
sights that we have seen in recent days in Libya show a government which has
been in power for 42 years, assassinating with impunity the African
citizens who have peacefully gone out onto the streets, asking for democracy,
freedom and justice, full of the indignation of international and Africa
opinion, who cannot understand how this has become so extreme, as a result of
the dictatorial rule of the Arab Colonel Mouhamar El Khadafi. This man has
not been capable of responding in a civilized manner, but has resorted to
weapons against a peaceful population who are within their rights to demand
democracy.
The
Libyan population, with a history centuries long, deserve more respect and not
to be treated like animals about to be slaughtered, just because they followed
the example of the Tunisian and Egyptian peoples in demanding their rights in
respect of a democratic and fair government, in this country where their rights
of self expression are forbidden and only the harshly imposed regime which runs
in contrary to freedom and justice, is accepted and the right to protect their
own culture, that of the rights of the Imazighen, the language and ancient
Libyan customs of Tamazgha.
Those
of us who have been fighting for so many years in favour of democracy and
freedom and against colonialism in
We
wish the Libyan people success in their fight for freedom and democracy and that
they are soon able to achieve democracy and peace for their country.
Signed:
Antonio Cubillo Ferreira, President of the independent Canarian National
