Not sure if this more about Seun Kuti‘s desire to sell more units of his latest album out on Monday (he has been talking a lot the last few days), but he has a way with words:
I’d been following events in Tunisia for months. In Libya, people are fighting for freedom from Gaddafi – but with Western influence. And Britain is Gaddafi’s biggest arms supplier; he has houses all over Europe … You want to help African people – why don’t you stop African rulers from stashing their wealth in your countries?… I think a better way for the British and US governments is to load their planes full of my albums and drop them on Libya.
For a debate on the hard issues, see here.
I also think that countries should help Libya as there are so many victims even among citizens but developed countries shouldn’t rule Libya itself.
