| Opinion: For the Power and Glory of Africa |
|
|
The suffering humanity today sorely needs an alternative to statism. The African continent even moreso. That is why, African leaders at this year’s AU summit due to be held in Accra, Ghana in July should not miss the opportunity to dismantle the artificial barriers imposed on the continent by the colonialist, and put in their place an African Union Government, which millions of Africans are yearning for.

All we can do is hope that each day brings cooler breezes for us in Libya.

The One “Ingleezi” I would have Liked to Meet
Zainab Al-Arabi |
|
|
The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was extremely active in the last couple of weeks for someone who is imminently leaving office. One major entry in his agenda was a stop in Libya, at the end of which a joint statement was issued to the media announcing a new stage in Libyan-British relations. These relations have been stormy, to say the least, for the last few centuries.

|

Personally, I do not exactly know what he wanted by coming here.

As Muslims, we tend to find ourselves very often on the defensive regarding our religion. Even before the horrific events of 9/11, Islam was blamed for many of the problems in the Middle East.
