African Union Backs Qaddafi to Prevent 'Western Influence'
According to this news item from The Herald, mouthpiece of the ruling Zanu-PF Party, the African Union has decided that while the regime of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi is 'authoritarian,' to force him from office would invite Western influence and chaos. It has also decided to back Ivory Coast President-elect Alassane Ouattara in his bid to unseat Laurent Gbagbo, who refuses to step down after his electoral defeat last December.Posted by: tipper 2011-03-13 |
