Johannesburg - Lives could have been saved in Libya had NATO allowed the African Union (AU) to take the lead in the troubled country, South African President Jacob Zuma said Tuesday.
'Those who have the power to bomb other countries have undermined the AU's efforts and initiatives to handle the situation in Libya,' said Zuma, after talks with the visiting president of Ghana, John Atta Mills.
'We could have avoided a lot of loss of life in Libya,' Zuma was quoted as saying by the SAPA news agency.
Here posits himself as anti-Western when in fact they own him. He has become quite unpopular with his people because of it and is currently conducting a reign of terror to suppress the ever-growing opposition to him and his policies. The comments above were made for public consumption, he doesn't mean a word of it. He's facing protest marches, strikes, and calls for revolution, and he's doing everything he can to stave it off.
