New AU Chair, Muammar Gaddafi, addresses AU Commission staff in Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, February 5, 2009 (Ezega.com)- The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, came to the African Union Commission to address the employees of the commission and urge them to work hard for the transition to the African Union Authority. Col. Gaddafi arrived at the meeting hall one hour late. The Chairperson of the AU Commission, Dr. Jean Ping, and other dignitaries accepted Col. Gaddafi at the gate of the commission. The Libyan leader signed Visitor’s book and had his photo taken with the leaders of the Commission.

According to our sources inside the AU, the entire theme of Gaddafi’s speech was to blame the west for all of the problems of Africa. He even went as far as justifying the piracy at the coast of Somalia as legitimate. The speech began by expressing the colonial era and its effects on Africa as the darkest time in African history. He said, despite our “freedom”, African countries still suffer from the “poison” planted by the west. He gave his country, Libya, as an example, and explained how the colonizers actually stole its resources.
