It's a dam shame that the AU let NATO destroy an African country and do regime change on it's government and the worst part is it was Libya, the very country that tried to unify Africa just like Gamal Adel Nassar, Sekou Toure and Kwame Nkrumah. The AU let NATO bomb Libya back to the stone age and they set on their thumbs watching instead of sending an overwhelming military force to Libya and stopping NATO and the NTC. Who will take up the struggle to make Black Africa a superpower?

@Mauricio7344 Dont forget Ghana sponsored most African countries to independence and Libya happens to be one of four biggest Finaciers in Africa. The west tries to paint AU as if it is soley being sponsored by Quadafi so they can come and steal the oil. ITS ABOUT TIME THEY LET AFRICA DO FOR THEMSELVES WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST FOR THEM. I dont even know why Africa is even still part of the UN. THey should all just pull out because its serves the interest of the West only. We can fend for ourselve
