Gaddafi had suggested that African nations go back to tribal autonomies. He had done his best to nurture this spirit in North Mali, Eastern Algeria, Tchad, The Sudan, Cassamance, Gambia, La-Guinea, and Zimbabwe. Gaddafi was heading off what seemed to be the inevitable for Tripolitania. He would round up African illegal aliens, corale them in tribal camps in Benghazi, Baida, Sirte, and train them in militia formations. He would send them back to their original countries to agitate for tribal autonomies. When his ready source of migrant recruits dwindled, he entered into private arrangements with Italy, Malta, and Spain, to receive their illegal migrants under the halo of humanitarian guardian.

So Seif's fears of a tribally autonomous Jamahiriyya is well-founded. The problem is; it is a historically Libyan problem and when Gaddafi was grooming Seif to take over leadership of Libya, the idea was based on this notion that Gaddafi had nurtured for decades in Libya.. That his family and bedouin tribe is saving Libya from Italian recolonization and the theft of Libya's oil wealth. However, with this oil wealth, Gaddafi was spreading conflict in other African countries so that his ambition of becoming the African King of Kings can be justified and the immediate stop-gap goal of Libyans accepting Gaddafi's family as de-facto governors of a Libya which is otherwise destitute and ungovernable will come to pass smoothly.

Libyans must not buckle under the threat of an engineered emulsion. Libyans are a good and honourable people. And like all other peoples, they are proud of their heritage. Gaddafi's plan during the four decades he was leader, was to by-pass the natural democratic processes that all nations had carefully nurtured, all the while under ominous threats of Libyan destabilization. What I am sying is that if Gaddafi had the interest of Libyans at heart during his long and odious reign, he would have cultivated a democratic dispensation, which is the only effective antedote to tribal autonomy.

You will recall that slavery thrived in Africa mainly because there were tribal autonomies who were easily set against each other and the spoils of their conflicts were the slaves.

So Libyans must make sure Gaddafi's reign ENDS, and now. However, they must replace that reign with a democratic governance culture of shared burdens, responsibilities, and prosperity. Libyan communities have been given a hand up in that demarche because the tribes have been further united through inter-ethnic marriages. Further, when Gaddafi's reign ends and Libya completely cleansed of its residue, this will clear the way for Libya's UNION with her older neighbors - Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, The Sudan, Mali, and Mauritania........... This is one concrete way African Unity can be achieved. There are other ways but they are not alternatives. They are Parallax-unum. I hasten to add that it will only be possible with a democratic dispensation. Where the tribes are in harmony rather than in perpetual conflict to repeat their histories.

Instead of the mere Rings of Life, The CONCENTRIC Rings of Life, of which I had divine revelation.

Haruna.
