Salaam wanaJF!
We are now witnessing a new trend of revolution across the Arab world whereby people's powers are tormenting and ousting powerful Arab leaders. We have seen what happened in Tunisia,then Egypt,Yemen,Algeria and now Libya.
What I want to share with you is the habits of EU nations and US to freeze assets of ousted or tormented leaders. They freezed Ben Ali's then Mubarak's and now Gaddafi's. My question is why now? Why so sudden? Didn't they know that such leaders from poor nations have such wealth? Didn't they use the money deposited in Swiss,Malta or New Jersey Island banks for their countries' initiatives? Aren't they sending the money deposited by those greedy and corrupt leaders,as aids and grants to us? Aren't they pretending to care about our problems by giving us our own money(stolen by corrupt leaders and deposited abroad) in form of aids,grants and even loans?
If EU and US know the answers to those questions then they are just villains pretending to be heroes in the eyes of Africans. If they could had the habits of freezing assets of such corrupt and greedy leaders as soon as they doubt wealth accumulations of such leaders,then they could have been heroes in the eyes of Africans.
I stand to be criticised!
