S.Africa: Gadaffi calls for African army

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Gadaffi calls for African army

[The terrorist scum has these bold ideas for Africa. This would be a terrible idea. It would be used to keep dictators in power. Jan]

Syrte – Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has called for a pan-African army to replace national militaries in order to protect the troubled continent from foreign attack and solve internal wars.

A “single African army” would help solve inter-African conflicts and divert billions of dollars to development projects, Kadhafi told African defence ministers in Syrte, 500 kilometres east of Tripoli.

“The creation of an African army means dissolving national armies and (saving) large amounts of money spent on such militaries,” Kadhafi told the opening of the ministers’ second conference.

Africa spends around $13bn (About R86bn) each year on its standing armies of 1,25 million soldiers, he added.

A million-strong united army would save countries 50 percent of their annual defence budgets or $7bn (About R48bn), which could be spent on health and development, Kadhafi said.
