Special to USAfricaonline.com
USAfrica, May 30, 2011: 120 military generals/officers and other officials have defected from the tottering regime of Libya’s Muammar Kadhafi to join the groups allied against the long-ruling mercurial personality. Among the defectors are 8 generals and senior officers of the Libyan armed forces. They appeared a few minutes ago in a press conference in Rome. Earlier in May 2011, Libya’s foreign affairs minister Moussa Koussa, and minister Choukri Ghanem defected.
NATO and the U.S have combined to push back, militarily against Kadhafi’s assault on Libyan citizens. By Janet Samson, USAfrica International desk.

The bombing of Libya has already destroyed major
civilian infrastructure, airports, roads, seaports and
communication
centers, as well as ‘military’ targets. The blockade of Libya
and
military attacks have driven out scores of multi-national
corporations
and led to the mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of Asian,
Eastern
European, Sub-Saharan African, Middle Eastern and North African
skilled
and unskilled immigrant workers and specialists of all types,
devastating the economy and creating, virtually overnight,
massive
unemployment, bread-lines and critical gasoline shortages.
Moreover,
following the logic of previous imperial military interventions,
the
seemingly ‘restrained’ call to patrol the skies via “no fly
zone”, has
led directly to bombing civilian as well as military targets on
the
ground, and is pushing to overthrow the legitimate government.
The
current imperial warmongers leading the attack on Libya, just
like
their predecessors, are not engaged in anything remotely
resembling a
humanitarian mission: they are destroying the fundamental basis
of the
civilian lives they claim to be saving – or as an earlier
generation of
American generals would claim in Vietnam, they are ‘destroying
the
villages in order to save them’.
