I wonder if this has anything to do with our sudden interest in democracy in North Africa .

Financial Heist of the Century: Confiscating Libya's Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF)

" Even more important were the Libyan investment in the implementation of three financial institutions launched by the African Union: the African Investment Bank, based in Tripoli, the African Monetary Fund, based in Yaoundé (Cameroon), the African Central Bank, with Based in Abuja (Nigeria). The development of these bodies would enable African countries to escape the control of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, tools of neo-colonial domination, and would mark the end of the CFA franc, the currency that 14 former French colonies are forced to use. Freezing Libyan funds deals a strong blow to the entire project. The weapons used by "the willing" are not only those in the military action called “Unified Protector.” "

Good post mate :flop:

This paints a clear picture as to the role of the West in this region. Ofcourse this is nothing new; yet it is becoming more and more obvious.

Anyone that still believes in the righteousness of the Western military actions in this context is either completely indoctrinated by propaganda or just doesnt want to know.
