South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has accused Nato of pursuing regime change and political assassinations in Libya instead of sticking to a United Nations resolution to protect civilians.
Mr Zuma told South Africa's parliament that Nato had overstepped the resolution which was passed at the UN to avert a massacre in Benghazi in March.


"We have spoken out against the misuse of the good intentions in Resolution 1973," he said. "We strongly believe that the resolution is being abused for regime change, political assassinations and foreign military occupation."


Nato leaders have repeatedly called for Muammar Gaddafi to go and air strikes have reportedly killed one of his sons, although western leaders have ruled out the possibility of a land invasion or occupation.


Mr Zuma has visited Libya twice since March on behalf of the African Union (AU) seeking a solution to the civil war. In April the Libyan government backed the AU's plan for a ceasefire to end the war, but rebels based in Benghazi rejected it saying the plan would allow Gaddafi to cling on to power. The AU plan involved an end to Nato air strikes, and a process which would eventually lead to elections.


Mr Zuma has emerged as one of the few allies of the internationally-isolated Libyan government, whose officials have argued that Nato's war is really about getting rid of Gaddafi's regime so western powers can get their hands on Libyan oil.

  • @marcomariaz26 Why TF are you "in" anywhere for that matter ?

  • NATO are the enforcers for the IMF banksters, western oil interests and the Military–industrial complex. Gaddafi wasn't really on their radar until he proposed dumping the dollar as oil currency in favour of gold.

  • @marcomariaz26 I know. Rhetorical question. We should not be anywhere outside our borders right now. There is more domestic terrorism occurring right now than any "al qaeda" or similar group has ever inflicted on us. All this "kinetic military action" and spreading of "democracy" is a LIE!

  • It was a civilian home, targeted by a military. What in the hell is a compound. Tell the media to call a home a home , a hospital a hospital, a aspirin factory a aspirin factory, and stop lieing to us to make the dammed gov crimes seems logical. I have had it with the dammed gov. and the lieing cheeting college educated scum of the world lining up to service the lies of nations. All the actions of DOD of usa since they started bombing cities end WWII have been crimes. Terrorist are DOD NATO

  • Any soldiers taking part in this are murderers. I'm done being angry just at the leaders. If your orders are to murder and you do, you are a murderer. I'm done supporting bullshit.

  • @marcomariaz26 why the ef would we be in syria (or any foreign country that poses NO real threat)? but if you want to know the places we will take, by one means or another, see this.... watch?v=FNQiL-TPobM&feature=ch­annel_video_title

  • @SHNUCAU The official line is to spread democracy. The real reason is to constantly prop up the Military Industrial Complex with perperual war...

  • @marcomariaz26 Why are we over there at all?

  • One word describes what we're doing in Lybia... "Murder"!!!
