Quote reblogged from come on up to the house with 345 notes

In Africa, we are not fighting wars of intervention. They aren’t declared wars either. We are witnessing what’s been in the minds of european imperialist for centuries, that is the conquering of Africa. US and NATO forces blew up Libya’s infrastructure, its generational wealth. They’re now w/o electricity and water. American contractors are probaly working on Libya’s payment agreements for the rebuild. Many people of the Sahara loved Gadaffi, he built the Great Man Made Lake which brought billions of liters of water to the desert . It brought irrigation and agriculture to the sands. There was the potential to produce enough food for the entire African continent. He brought satellite communications, phone/internet paid for by Gadaffi’s administration. Free health care, dental and post secondary education. Subsidized no-interest home loans, and 14 cents a gallon gas. We just blew ALL THAT UP! And we wonder why Africans aren’t celebrating? We destroyed their lives and livlihoods while saying we’re the Protectors.
