(my opinion) as appeared in The Express newspaper Tanzania, October 27, 2011
FOR the second time the head of state has been assassinated in the African continent after a protracted civil war with a support of foreign elements.
For the first such an incident had happened 1961 in the then Congo Brazzaville the current Democratic Republic of Congo when then Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba was assassinated during the civil war and it was claimed that there was a hand by the CIA. Since then this country has remained either in turmoil or mutual suspicion.
More than 40 years have elapsed when another similar incident occurs in Libya. The debate here is not to condemn anyone for whatever happened, but for all the party concerned to make sure that things do normalize as soon as possible. Without that this country might fall into the hands of terrorist just like what is happening in Somalia now.
Even if Libyans were tired of Gaddafi but there were vivid evidence that foreign elements played a great role in ensuring that the incumbent head of state is subjected to ridicules and humiliation prior to his death and to his body soon after his death.
