A Liberation From Our Liberators
()
About this ebook
Yes we got our independences, yes we got our freedom from colonial powers but why does it feel like it was not beneficial for ordinary citizens? The war veterans got the most of the land, the war veterans got high places in governments, the war veterans they get most tenders and these privileges gets passed on to their kids and future generations.
They juice out, swindle and loot all government funds & assets such that the whole nation is dire poverty and poor service delivery from the government and they send their kids abroad to get proper education to then come back years later and get placed into the high salary jobs.
What more for the ordinary citizens, our fellow ordinary ghetto youths do not get equal opportunities, with all qualifications to get a job you still need to be connected normal job application procedures do not work, to become rich you need to be associated with the liberating political party.
Is this what our fallen heroes fought for?? Isn't it now same as their blood was shed for nothing or was shed for certain war veterans to benefit and enjoy the pleasures that comes with without considering the ordinary citizens. Voicing against crimes, corruption & unfairness of the regimes leads to incarceration or treason charges.
Therefore a liberation from our liberators is needed, the struggle continues!

The Injustices, Human Rights Abuse & Untouchables - above the law
Having gone through segregations, indiscrimination’s and apartheid from the colonial powers here we are again fighting our liberators over the injustices to fellow African brothers and sisters.
Is this what our fallen heroes fought for, absolutely not. Why does is it feel like under colonial power rule was better.
Below are some of the presidents who made it hell for fellow African brothers because of the power & title they possessed.
Muammar Gaddafi
Was Muammar Gaddafi a Good or Bad Person? Facts About Libya - HubPagesImage courtesy of HubPages
Former president of Libya even though most of us africans regard him as King of Kings of Africa, the African continent unifier, Gaddafi was an egoist.
He ran a police state to which some Libyans to this day call him lunatic while others do call him a hero. His children and immediate relatives had the right to kill without anyone questioning them. (LLS0001)
Rights groups and Gaddafi’s foes say that throughout the 1970s police and security forces arrested hundreds of Libyans who opposed, or who the authorities feared could oppose, his rule.
Student demonstrations were put down violently. Political opponents were arrested and imprisoned, or simply disappeared.

Police and security forces rounded up academics, lawyers, students, journalists, Trotskyists, communists, members of the Muslim Brotherhood and others considered enemies of the revolution,
Human Rights Watch says. Gaddafi warned anyone who tried to organize politically they would face repression.
I could at any moment send them to the People’s Court ... and the People’s Court will issue a sentence of death based on this law, because execution is the fate of anyone who forms a political party,
Gaddafi said in a speech on November 9, 1974.
A number of televised public hangings and mutilations of political opponents followed, rights groups say.

In 1976 Gaddafi authorized the execution of 22 officers who had participated in an attempted coup the previous year, in addition to the execution of several civilians, rights activist Mohamed Eljahmi has written.
In 1980 authorities introduced a policy of extrajudicial executions of political opponents abroad, termed stray dogs.
According to a 2009 article in Forbes magazine by rights activist Eljahmi, Gaddafi’s then deputy Abdel Salam Jalloud issued a public justification in 1980 for the assassination of dissidents abroad, telling Italian media:
Many people who fled abroad took with them goods belonging to the Libyan people ... Now they are putting their illicit gains at the disposal of the opposition led by (then Egyptian leader Anwar) Sadat, world imperialism, and Israel.
A failed coup attempt in May 1984 apparently mounted by exiles with internal support led to the imprisonment of thousands of people. An unknown number of people were executed.
In 1988 there was a period which appeared to herald important human rights reforms. Authorities freed hundreds of political prisoners in a wide-ranging amnesty.
But more repression ensued in 1989. According to Amnesty International, which had visited the country in 1988, the government instituted mass arbitrary arrest and detention,
disappearances,’ torture, and the death penalty."
In 1993, after a failed coup attempt in which senior army officers were implicated, Gaddafi began to purge the military periodically, eliminating potential rivals and replacing them with loyalists.
In what critics call probably the bloodiest act of internal repression, more than 1,000 prisoners were shot dead by security forces on June 28 and 29, 1996 in Abu Salim prison, according to Human Rights Watch.
The scale of the killings was confirmed by the Libyan Secretary of Justice to Human Rights Watch in April 2009, and in a press release by Saif al-Islam’s Gaddafi Foundation charity on August 10, 2009 which set the number at 1,167.
For years Libyan officials denied that the killings at Abu Salim had ever taken place.
