17 On March 17, 2011 the United Nations Organization called for a NATO military attack on all of Africa, when it launched war against Libya. This declaration used the cover of a so-called no fly zone declaration. This vote came right on the heels of the UN NATO invasion of the Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire). Nigeria and South Africa voted for the war. Russia, China, India, Brazil were among those who abstained. However, both Russia and China were incorrect not to use their vetoes. Naturally the key elements of imperialism, the US, UK and France, all voted for their sponsored resolution. Among the many atrocities on the part of the UN-NATO terrorist partners, let us not forget that Colonel Muammar al-Qadhafi suffered a brutal lynching at the hands of the US-NATO terrorists. However, this homicidal piracy, legitimatized by the solemn declaration of NATO's fellow criminals in the UN, has backfired and ignited opposition all over the world, especially among Africans at home and abroad. Their wars of genocide and massive plunder is once again become a vehicle that unite many forces, from many different spectrums and from every continent on the planet.
