Hundreds of Muslims under the banner Coalition Against Violence and Western Domination (CAVWED) on Thursday went on a demonstration through the main streets of Tamale to protest against NATO\u2019s bombing of Libya.<\/p>\n
They presented a petition to the Northern Regional Minister, Mr
Moses Bukari Mabengba, for delivery to the US and French embassies in
Ghana.
\u201cWe strongly condemn the systematic attempts made by foreign
powers to deny the people of Libya the right to self-determination,\u201d
the petition said adding that Libyans must be allowed to determine the
legitimacy of the ruling regime and not the Security Council of the
United Nations or any other foreign power.<\/p>\n
The petition, read by Sheikh Sahid Abubakar, Leader of Ambareya
Muslim Group in Tamale, said \u201cWe note with deep regret the manner in
which the international community ignored ordinary Libyans\u2019 opposition
to any form of foreign intervention and plunged the whole country into
a state of insecurity\u201d adding \u201cthere is virtually no evidence that the
vast majority of Libyans supported any form of foreign intervention in
an internal conflict\u201d.<\/p>\n
It said the No-Fly-Zone intended to maintain peace had rather
escalated the military conflict in the country, causing more suffering
than the rebel aggression.<\/p>\n
It said \u201cwar can never be used to improve humanitarian crisis\u201d
adding \u201cWe therefore, reject any persuasive attempt to brand the
rebels as pro-democracy forces just to turn round and demonize Libyan
forces (state military) as pro-Gaddafi forces\u201d.<\/p>\n
The petition said the allied assault on Libya had dire
consequences on the economy of all African countries especially Ghana,
citing the return home of about 16,000 Ghanaian nationals from Libya,
including a possible cut-off of Libyan scholarship schemes amongst
other interventions to other African countries.<\/p>\n
It said the interest of the western powers\u2019 assault on Libya was
because of her oil saying they were using the humanitarian crisis as a
diversion of people\u2019s minds from their main objective, which were the
Libya\u2019s oil reserves.<\/p>\n
It called on the international community to allow the African
Union\u2019s Peace and Security Council to resolve the conflict in Libya
saying the A.U had the capacity to do so.<\/p>\n
The petition called for the adoption of disarmament,
demobilization and reintegration to build peace in Libya.
Receiving the petition, Mr Mabengba assured that he would forward
it to the appropriate quarters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
