Africa: North
Muammar fixed Sao Tome
2003-07-26
Who knows? It could even be true...
The intense efforts exerted by the Leader of the Revolution with his African brothers in respect of the events in Sao Tome and Principe, following the coup attempt there, have been crowned with the return of legitimacy to that African country, as announcement was made last night that President Fradick de Menzes is returning to the capital Sao Tome. Earlier, the Leader of the Revolution conducted phone calls and dispatched a special envoy to President Olusegon Obasanjo of Nigeria, President Omer Bongo of Gabon, President Dennis Sassou Ngissou of Congo Brazzaville and President Jouaquim Chissano of Mozambique, the current chairman of the African Union. In this respect, the Leader of the Revolution received a personal envoy from President Obasanjo of Nigeria, who delivered to the Leader a message related to the situation in the two states of Liberia and Sao Tome and Prinicpe.
Yep. That explains it all...
It was asserted that the African Union has to assume its role in ensuring peace and stability across Africa and prevent any foreign interference in the African affairs particularly as Africans are now capable, through the African Union and its institutions, of solving their problems within an African context, and they do not need other foriegners interfernce.
And a damned fine job they're doing of it...
During his contacts and through the envoys, the Leader of the Revolution re-affirmed to African leaders the need for the return of legitimacy to this part of the African continent and not allow the putchists remain in power, under any case, as this is against the national inteest of this African country and against the national interests of the whole of Africa.
"Us Leaders of the Revolutions ain't really into regime change, y'know? Not once the regime's actually been changed..."
The Leader confirmed that the use of force to sieze power is unacceptable and illigitimate.
Muammar, of course, didn't use force to sieze power. The Revolution™ was delivered by munchkins from the Lollipop Guild...
It goes against the interests of any people and legitimacy must be restored by the Africans themselves. Meanwhile, the African leaders have expressed their appreciation for the efforts exerted by the Leader of the Revolution follwing the coup in Sao Tome and Principe, in accordance with article 30 of the constitutive act of the African Union and the resolutions of Algiers summit. They confirmed that the efforts of the Leader of the Revlution had a great impact in pressurizing the putchists in order to submit to the African will and accept the return of the legitimate President Fradick de Menzis.
