World – Political And Electoral Reform 2015
May 27, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The incognito power installs proxy governments to implement policies favorable to privileged class in global society.
New World Order with one world government emerged as United Nations Organization comprising unipolar system – UNSC with P5 + 1 exclusive club in possession of veto power.
UNSC target nations deemed adversaries for the members and their allies waging economic warfare via trade sanctions depriving people in Cuba and North Korea with basic food supplies and survival means until now. The military invasion through conventional ground troops and air raids is another option.
The recent activities in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, the drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa and Latin America assert supremacy.
The latest strategy is sponsoring terrorism in Libya, Syria, Iraq and North, East, West and Central Africa.
Elsewhere false flag events staged to smear nations and oust governments perceived as obstruction to hegemony ambition such as in Ukraine and Thailand. The constant unrest created in Venezuela and neighboring states in South and Central America cannot be ignored.
The other New World Order prototype is European Union with euro currency in the euro zone. The results are evident in member states like Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Portugal…and Ireland.
New World Order directs loyalists in the so-called democracies and non-democratic states across the globe.
The subversion of democracy witnessed in elections held to legitimize illegitimate authority.
The elections claimed democratic is infiltrated with special interests funding. Then there are domestic and foreign bidders in political campaigns gaining priority on legislations and corporate influence on political body hailed economic milestones in the convoluted version.
Not to mention hegemony controlled social media, press and entertainment deployed in mind manipulation exemplifying distortion gone awry. The educational institutions are also used for this purpose.
New World Order (NWO) rule and aspirations are unsustainable considering the disastrous experience thus far.
The clean up actions are paramount to restore sanity, sensibility and responsibility facilitating new beginning.
The citizens’ plight as labor force, consumers, taxpayers and electorate could be alleviated in initiating fundamental change in politics with necessary applications in other domains.
Current political structure is premised on extraordinary power, hierarchy with agencies and bureaucracy as expansive government. There are archaic designations in certain so-called democracies maintained to prolong imperial era. The political representation designed to achieve hegemonic goals and preserve corruption culture.
In pseudo democracy projected as functioning republic viz. India and alike – hegemony choices are rewarded with not one but two key posts like defense and finance ministry despite losing election i.e. constituents rejected candidate in national election are appointed to important positions against people’s will.
The taxpayer money is wasted in political extravagance promoting self-image and profiteering from statewide canteens (cafeteria) driving restaurateurs out of business, the other extremes are building and unveiling personal statues not excluding auctions to trumpet political figures and upper echelons price tag.
While significant population nationwide is forced into abject poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy and unemployment, the political fanfare at states and national level squandering citizens tax contributions is a routine affair.
Accordingly following recommendations are made to prevent abuse of power.
- Downsizing government along with extended affiliations to contain excess operational expenditure.
- The lavish accommodations, perks, benefits, vacations at taxpayers expense to public officials from top to bottom eliminated as austerity measure.
- Fiscal discipline on government limiting personnel or entourage accompanying political members within and outside the country. All costs to be accounted and audited by independent body and made available as public record.
- The enormous income derived in cash and kind as bribes on government contracts and favors due to powerful positions is not possible upon stripping discretionary rights in the decision-making process.
- Briefly, political evolution is required with emphasis on public service representing the people and not elements or agenda threatening sovereign status.
At present, the three branches of government – the executive, legislative and judiciary are reserved for the affluent and bourgeois in society with incentives ranging from luxury to immunity on crimes not barring treason.
Notwithstanding the eligibility criteria – complicity to foreign run enterprise.
Hence, there is no desire to perform national duty and fulfill constitutional oath to serve constituency and country.
Removing opulence and entitlements from political career would then make selfless motives the reason for joining politics and appealing to genuinely committed citizens to come forward in serving community, nation and humanity at large.
In the absence of political and electoral reform, the electoral mandate obtained by deception would continue to be misused with no end in sight in human suffering.
Darkness is dispelled with light and rising to the occasion would demonstrate the populace might.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Indian Sub-Continent – Independence Day Celebration 2014
August 16, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Independence day celebrations in Pakistan on August 14 and India on August 15 provides opportunity to reflect on the journey traveled since patriots’ martyrdom.
National governance representative of mainstream population viz. the middle class, lower income, poorest of the poor, marginalized, ostracized and disenfranchised in society would constitute republic status rather than the rich, famous and powerful class prevalent dominance.
The system represented by political parties with power sharing among family members conforming to dynasty rule and other factions headed by celebrities from the entertainment and economic sectors for decades denying genuine people voice is far from being democratic besides contributing to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots in the country.
Notwithstanding the domestic and foreign interests groups control further exacerbates suffering and undermine sovereignty.
India and Pakistan citizens are deprived of fairness and equality in the ever increasing foreign influence and intrusion in politics, military and economic decisions promoting subjugation and polarization to benefit hegemony.
Both nations are also confronted with economic woes, security concerns related to preventable cross border tensions, terrorism and widespread violence prohibiting peaceful co-existence.
Another important factor arguably remaining major hindrance in rapid growth and development is corruption, tax evasion and wealth amassment.
The deposits in overseas bank accounts, tax havens and shelter cost taxpayers trillions of dollars that could otherwise eliminate abject poverty, curable disease and illiteracy in addition to building and improving infrastructure.
In the absence of transparency and accountability due to complicity amongst political establishment, the epidemic of corruption depleting national treasury facilitates black money circulation and money laundering through diverse means especially during election ironically declared as free and fair process.
Furthermore, those involved in corruption deals and scandals continue to make fortune at the vast majority expense. The entities are protected with immunity legitimizing their activities despite significant loss to the economy.
Utilizing political position as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Member of Parliament (MP) in the lower or upper house and higher up in the hierarchy they are exempt from judicial probe and appropriate applications of the law that apparently exists only for average citizens nationwide.
Politics intolerance to alternative perspectives and constructive dialogue confirms insecurity not to mention the measures to curb authentic dynamism demonstrates subversion of democracy.
The lack of political will to serve the nation and electorate granting power evident in the stagnant or deteriorating conditions experienced by people across the spectrum.
The economic trend within affluent category restricts the possibility for pervasive progress.
National advancement leaving behind none would guarantee sustainable prosperity.
The contemporary setting premised on exploitation and segregation jeopardizes economic potential considering the impact on collective output.
India and Pakistan relationship as allies instead of adversaries is essential for economic trade, cultural exchange and importantly addressing terror infiltration or militancy in Kashmir and other parts of the country.
Regional friction unnecessarily creates problems with divestments in defense budget alongside declining basic necessities like clean water, air, health care, education, housing, agriculture and employment.
Remembering freedom fighters would be meaningful upon fulfilling the dreams they envisioned for the nation. Such accomplishments would honor their sacrifice.
Best Wishes to citizens in India and Pakistan in reaching milestones with ordinary people empowerment leading to a promising future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Pakistan – Azadi Mubarak! (Happy Independence Day!)
August 14, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Azadi Mubarak! To citizens of Pakistan commemorating 66th anniversary of independence day.
Pakistan celebrates Independence Day on August 14 every year and the event rejoiced with political and social customs.
Although liberation is a cause for celebration, the national day also a reminder to review status quo and address issues confronting the nation.
Pakistan deprived of civilian rule until recently yet to experience coherence essential for political stability.
The uphill battle for Pakistan is curbing violence and terrorism claiming innocent lives within the country spreading across Afghanistan and India.
Pakistan army, police force and government together could gain considerably in eliminating foreign sources funded and promoted terror infrastructure including ammunitions influx into the country.
Another factor not unique to Pakistan, however affecting national sovereignty is external powers influence over military and intelligence apparatus notwithstanding corruption in political system having pervasive impact on society.
After sixty-six years since creation of Pakistan, the nation struggles to decline hegemony infiltration representing imperialism and extremism reining control over the nuclear state.
Pakistan has tremendous potential to move the nation forward upon restoring security currently sabotaged in the absence of unequivocal rejection of CIA paramilitary and private contractors presence exacerbated with Saudi financing of religious schools such as madrassas aimed at exploitation of the poor faciltiating radicalism and Takfiri elements behind unrest in the Indian sub-continent.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif administration and political opposition face challenges in many frontiers and the priority besides economy is safety and normalcy for citizens in Pakistan and neighbors in the region.
Political will combined with commitment reflected in policies would guarantee positive outcome on national and international goals.
Pakistan efforts to improve bilateral and trilateral relations with India and Afghanistan would benefit the population of all three nations considering the pursuits not necessarily welcome among powers aspiring dominance through polarization evident in cross border activities involving killing of soldiers along Pakistan and India Line of Control (LOC) and bombing of Indian consulate in Kabul.
Nonetheless, Pakistan leaderships across the spectrum and civil society perseverance transcending religions and communal barriers could begin a new chapter in history in recognition of one another as allies rather than adversaries easing tensions instigated by foreign nations through false propaganda and bias reporting for respective vested interests capitalizing on human plight.
Pakistan leaderships initiatives in this regard is noteworthy and further expansion in trade, cultural exchange, education, environment and humanitarian affairs would strengthen peace required for individual as well as regional growth and development.
Wishing people in Pakistan peaceful co-existence with a promising future for all.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

International Political Event – Presidential Election And Inauguration
August 4, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Pakistan – Presidential Election
Congratulations! To President Mamnoon Hussain elected to represent Pakistan.
Pakistan’s democratic experience is not without trials and tribulations especially post election resulting in political factions dissatisfaction with electoral process.
Pakistan stability is linked with containing violence emanating from terror networks and anti-democratic forces funding Takfiri elements aimed at national and regional destabilization.
The leadership commitment in ending United States drone strikes producing civilian casualties would determine public trust on the incumbent power.
Upon eliminating militancy and extremism premised on fundamentalism, sectarian clashes and cross border terrorism could perhaps be laid to rest.
Pakistan uphill battles comprise combating corruption and recovery of national income held in overseas bank accounts through tax evasion.
Additionally, building economy to improve living conditions is not unique to Pakistan.
However, the political dynamics with foreign interference under the guise of military aid hinder economic revival.
Hopefully the current government headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain would introduce effective strategies to redress burgeoning violence restoring calmness and peace necessary to reach milestones in national goals.
Wishing Pakistan citizens and President Mamnoon Hussain dawn of peace and tranquility.

Iran – Presidential Inauguration
Iran – Congratulations! To President Hassan Rohani on the Presidential inauguration as 7th President of Iran.
Under the newly elected Presidency, the Iranian electorate choice for reformist candidacy over others is a mandate for moderation.
The voters’ aspirations to evolve and emerge from constraints and convictions are dependent on developments in the near future.
United States and EU unlawful sanctions exacerbates mainstream normal existence with access to medicines and other essentials restricted due to financial blockade disabling payments processing and transaction facility for free flow of trade in international market.
The unilateral western decisions lacking in fairness and legitimacy unnecessarily targets innocent victims across the nation.
Nonetheless, Iranian resolve in enduring arbitrary rule is evident in efforts exploring options to overcome crises.
Inflation and higher unemployment draw attention amongst various challenges in the economic front.
In other areas of governance, the common problems shared worldwide such as corruption and mismanagement in different branches of government pose impediments to real progress.
With hopes and expectations, the nation looks forward to fresh beginning and optimism in domestic and foreign relations minimizing tensions for positive outcome.
Best Wishes to people of Iran and President Hassan Rohani in addressing issues of the nation.
———————————————————————————————————-
Zimbabwe – Presidential Electoral Dispute
The re-election of ruling party Zanu – PF governed by long serving President Robert Mugabe once again contested by opponent Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The contender declining to concede in the latest national polls could be resolved in independent re-assessment of voting mechanisms with appropriate measures to avoid prolonged disputes now and later.
Despite previous experience in 2008, the top electoral official resignation in disapproval of existing polling method and inconsistency reveals the election commission lack of coordination and preparation.
Had inherent flaws been identified earlier and addressed effectively, the status quo might be different and any disagreements may not be related to voting irregularity.
Nevertheless, leaderships vying for power seeking amicable settlements could save lives with mass support behind peaceful reconciliation.
Zimbabwe leaders rational approach in national interest could deliver viable solution.
Good Luck! To Zimbabwe electorate and leaderships in finalizing political victory via communication and dialogue rather than confrontation.
Peace to all
Thank you.

Pakistan – Violence and Terrorism Sponsored To Destabilize Nation For Subjugation
May 19, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Pakistan is not spared from violence with incessant bombings and explosions having become the routine since United States invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
Pakistan then regarded an ally in the fictitious war on terror for more than a decade and ongoing has transformed the state into terror haven.
The relentless drone strikes in north western territory Waziristan and areas adjoining Afghanistan border are declared playground in the remotely operated drone attacks by United States escalating UAV killings in the past four years despite mounting civilian casualties comprising mostly children and women.
Ignoring the fact on reckless drone war providing terror networks opportunity for new recruits, the continued drone operation leads to western collaboration with terror groups in perpetuating terrorism alongside proliferating arms supply costing innocent lives nationwide.
Throughout general election campaign the spate of terror assaults in Pakistan paralleled Iraq – the country experiencing horrific violence that peaked during provincial election prompting six out of eighteen provinces to postpone the event.
The unacceptable and senseless act clarifies the motives behind heinous crimes to disrupt democratic process in these nations creating indefinite unrest.
Unfortunately, anti-democracy forces aim for civilian deaths causing fear among the electorate to advance their destabilization agenda.
Pakistan like Iraq is confronted with Unites States, Britain, Israel and Saudi fomented sectarianism and internal terror elements sheltered by various collusions within operating against national interest.
The latest bombing near the mosque on Friday May 17, 2013 resulting in at least thirteen victims and several injured following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) announcement to form coalition and a day latter the assassination of PTI co-founder and Senior Vice President Zahra Shahid Hussain in Karachi is reprehensible considering the masterminds disregard for life.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan reportedly attributed the assassination to Karachi based Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) claiming that the self-exiled MQM leader Altaf Hussain who is also a British citizen publicly threatened PTI members subsequent to vote fraud allegations against MQM party.
Any political party or candidacy rise to power and prominence through unscrupulous means especially violence and terrorist activity endanger citizens safety in false representation as political leader to serve the people of the nation they intend to harm for self-promotion.
Such political faction or entity egregious conduct compromises national sovereignty and security.
Those responsible for the crimes against PTI leader Zahra Shahid Hussain and the loss of lives in the earlier target near the mosque deserve to be brought to justice in fairness to the slain victims unjustly denied the freedom to life.
Interestingly, nefarious groups along with former and present dictatorships apparently find Britain’s political helm to be friendly host and often reflected in their choice of destination viz. London in the self-imposed exile evading litany of charges against them.
Foreign powers complicity in the politically motivated criminal incidents contributes to the real identity and characteristics of the authority not to mention the involvement seriously jeopardizing national integrity and credibility.
Sincere condolences offered to bereaved families affected in the irrational terror.
May God grant strength to the survivors in enduring the tragic situation and bless the departed souls to rest in peace.
Peace to Pakistan!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Pakistan – National Election and Republic Empowerment
May 15, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To Pakistan electorate, Prime Minister-elect Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) party for recent victory in the democratic election.
Reportedly PML-N secured around 126 out of 270 seats to National Assembly in 60% voter turnout nationally and 100% in some states displaying citizens participation in the electoral process.
Pakistan deprived of democratic governance since birth due to military coup and direct foreign intervention from United States and Saudi Arabia crossed the hurdle when previous administration under Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was the first to complete full term leading to fresh elections over the weekend.
Prime Minister-elect Nawaz Sharif having served in that position twice earlier although briefly with military disrupting official period has experienced problems related to governance.
Pakistan is confronted with numerous challenges and primary one being violence among other issues such as corruption, inflation, foreign intrusion fomenting sectarianism and sedition alongside border disputes with neighbors currently Afghanistan that needs to be addressed effectively to steer the nation away from continuous chaos and unrest.
People in Pakistan have expressed strong desire for democratic function through mandate and deserve efficient government transcending typical political culture of graft, nepotism and marginalization of rest of the nation preceded by nationwide security as top priority.
Pakistan government focus on maintaining law and order containing incessant bombings, explosions and militant activities in the heart of the nation that has left cities, towns and villages gripped with terror is key to political stability.
Notwithstanding drone strikes and foreign occupation in the form of CIA paramilitary infiltration, private contractors, consulate espionage services and Saudi regime aided radicalism that generated Pakistan Taliban along with Pakistan intelligence ISI and some military personnel sheltering networks operating against national interest arguably demand stringent domestic and foreign policy to protect innocent lives and sovereignty.
In the economic front, the vast majority living in abject poverty has long been neglected with preoccupation on cross border tensions with India, Iran and lately Afghanistan.
Pakistan as well as neighbors resolving these issues amicably through diplomacy would allow them to expend time and resources in improving economic and social conditions for their respective population invariably sharing common plight ranging from lack of clean water supply, electricity to health and education facilities hindering normal existence.
Additionally rural and urban unhealthy environment attributed to industrial pollution and contamination impact entire society.
Pakistan declining deceptive neoliberal economic concept responsible for income disparity, exploitation and national treasury depletion via tax evasions is important to emerge from burgeoning financial crises and overall development deficiency.
Instead adopting growth oriented economic models creating job opportunities not only in specific industry but also across different sectors especially targeting human potential abandoned in search for prominent skills would produce desirable results provided they are reinvested in further advancement of local production and expansion.
Implementing such strategy would optimize progress unlike neoliberal profit transfer trend contracting host nation revenue besides stifling local competition partly contributing to rising inflation.
Strengthening bilateral and multilateral trade ties with moderate approach on controversial matter demonstrating mutual respect and cooperation would be beneficial to all.
Economic and monetary aid received without compromising national assets, human capital and above all independence is critical in the increasingly volatile climate with predator instincts aimed at subjugation of nations for geopolitical dominance.
Accordingly rationality and pragmatism guided prudent choices with departure from relations ascribed to failed state classification in Pakistan’s case would be positive in moving forward as a self-sufficient and reliable economic partner within and outside region.
Pakistan riding on rough seas evidently capable of surviving tidal waves despite threats to democracy throughout political history.
National unity committed to pervasive prospects leaving none behind would promote necessary economic freedom and social equality.
Republic empowerment through education and accessibility to technology for proper awareness on events affecting survival is imperative to deter internal and external anti-democracy forces actively engaged in sabotage of Pakistan sovereignty.
Pakistan represented by educated younger generation could be instrumental in leading the nation towards multidimensional achievements while retaining cherished cultural values and heritage in delineation from fundamentalism misusing religion to impose ideology.
On that optimistic note,
Wishing citizens in Pakistan and newly elected leadership Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as well as representatives of national institutions long lasting peace and success in all endeavors for collective prosperity.
Peace to Pakistan!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Global Alert: Ending Conflicts Critical to Resume Communiqué
April 14, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The news corps and others requests to resume verbal communication and briefing on various events as well as developments are much appreciated.
Maintaining contact with global society is critical creating awareness on relevant issues and providing necessary guidance, solutions favoring life and planet protection.
The humanitarian mission predominant goal is establishment of peace, liberty and justice especially in the contemporary dangerous times marred with violence and negativities due to self-centeredness eclipsing common good otherwise narcissism suppressing altruism amongst those in position of power and affluence.
Western viz. hegemony policies evidently is responsible for the status quo.
The misplaced priority in terms of warfare not barring nuclear threats pursued with passion exacerbates economic problems for the source and victim nations denying world population normal life i.e. dignified and peaceful co-existence.
Reiterating the clear position on communiqué revival – the compliances outlined earlier to various nations to address domestic and international challenges generated from misusing power to self and national detriment slighted taking key requirements for granted in the respective individual and collective responsibility.
In order to restore regular delivery on vital information and plans in the current and long run pertaining to humanity at large, the major crises are to be resolved immediately considering they are life and death matter.
1. Ending Syrian conflict unlike Washington preparation to prolong terrorism with $10m funding over and above previous financing directly to terrorist networks Al-Qaeda and alliance al-nusra perpetuating innocent bloodshed in the sovereign state.
2. Palestinian cause – release of dying detainee Samer Issawi and remaining hostages in Israeli captivity. Lifting all blockades against Gaza and West Bank, termination of settlement activities and moving forward for Palestinian statehood recognition.
3. Cease military intervention and shelling in West African nation Mali and other parts of Africa expediting humanitarian assistance to thousands of civilians in grave conditions from French and other western intrusion.
4. Korean Peninsula – Defusing situation with withdrawal of nuclear capable B-52 and B-2 stealth bombers plus F-22 fighter jets along side conclusion to occupation of Korean territory and regional presence.
5. Releasing all GITMO detainees allowing safe return to homeland.
6. Renounce drone strikes and operations in the United States and foreign domain.
7. Relinquish interference through violence instigation in Iraq and Libya converted into terror havens for illegal invasions within and outside Middle East.
8. Similar course of action for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
9. Evacuation of military base in South American nation Colombia and other parts of Latin America.
10. Last but not the least – World summit on nuclear and WMD disarmament with mandatory participation for nuclear and non-nuclear states to begin denuclearization process without exception.
Upon compliance of these measures, the communiqué representing cosmic interaction paramount in the historical moment considering the fragile and volatile environment endangering planet would restart facilitating the arrival of pre-ordained new era.
The evolution from present Kaliyug i.e. Dark age into Satyug– the golden age epitomizing positive trend and attributes with pervasive progress and prosperity is necessary for life sustenance.
Most importantly, procrastination and deliberate disruption to cosmic determined universe functions with planet earth being integral component best abandoned to avoid inconceivable and irreversible outcome.
The viable option is humility and acknowledgement of pragmatic course in respect for life only possible with peace and non-violence.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Indian Sub-Continent – Commemorating Independence Day
August 14, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
The neighbors in Indian sub-continent commemorate independence from colonialism.
Pakistan on August 14 followed by India on August 15 sought freedom from British Raj with the sub-continent divided and scores of innocent lives lost on all sides prior to and during partition.
Since then, both nations have endured trials and tribulations with bilateral relations subjected to litmus tests delivering success and failures predominantly due to covert foreign intervention benefitting hegemonic subjugation militarily in Pakistan under the guise of war on terror and politically in India through proxy governance.
Nonetheless, the two nations are faced with alleviating poverty, economic and social disparity prevalent in vast majority, fighting corruption, tax evasion and local political impediments exploiting situations for personal advancement hindering national development.
India comparatively made economic progress post independence. However, the gap between haves and have-nots widened in the ever increasing income inequality with the rich, famous and upper echelons in the society representing political system depriving main stream fair opportunity to achieve desperately required change.
The recent reconciliation transcending barriers are mutually productive easing tensions essential in moving forward to normalize trade, travel and cultural exchange.
National security concerns through cooperation, intelligence sharing and commitment to deter terror networks operations could further enhance future prospects for Pakistan and India.
The significant youth population in two states could potentially shape the country on progressive trend in every aspect synthesizing dynamism and optimism reflecting a paradigm shift in the present and beyond.
Republic rule abstinent nepotism and feudalism is the path to strive for emancipation from burgeoning economic, political and social struggle.
Wishing people in India and Pakistan long lasting peace and formidability to challenge threats against national sovereignty.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Libya – Untimely Elections and Undesirable Outcome
July 6, 2012
By Padmini Arhant,
North African nation Libya is scheduled for first elections post Colonel Muammar Gaddafi era on July 7, 2012.
Libyan experience has cost many precious lives and led the country into turmoil with massive artillery entry that appears to have been pre-arranged for the burgeoning conflict.
NATO bombing following exchange between armed rebel factions and state authority together claimed many casualties estimated at 30,000 or more in the official figure and,
NATO intervention aftermath apparently producing more death and destruction facilitated by ammunitions in militia possession.
National Transitional Council headed by western powers nominee Libyan American Premier Abdel Rahim al-Keib elected with majority NTC votes reportedly arrived after 32 years away from the country to assume office.
Elections held amid chaos and mayhem synonymous to Egypt and Yemen deprives electorate a fair understanding of political manifestoes and candidacies representing various platforms or the lack thereof especially with Libyans heading to the polls after more than four decades of the predecessor rule.
With Yemen, the Vice President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Al-Habdi of the regime under former President Ali Abdullah Saleh – U.S. ally was the only candidate in the so-called national election hailed by key western players as transition to democracy.
In Egypt, the elections during fierce crackdown by U.S. aided SCAF (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces) inhibiting secular moderates participation considering immense bloodshed from all walks of life since revolution for political freedom resulted in fundamentalism victory with military remaining the ultimate power.
The trepidation amongst Egypt mainstream and minority understandably related to status quo with U.S. educated and sponsored President Mohammed Morsi administration expected to deliver at the domestic and regional front.
Libyan society being unique with tribal and diverse sects co-existence now threatened by foreign infiltration for control over national resources through potential partitioning in order to gain easier access and monopolization.
Justice and Constructions Party introduced in Libya supposedly Egypt Muslim Brotherhood political wing campaigning under National Alliances Party regarded the main contender against token contestants in the political race reflects limited public awareness combined with unfamiliarity on candidates’ stance and preparedness to tackle daunting tasks ahead.
Libya is confronted with serious security and political instability crisis demanding priority in eliminating foreign intrusions in every aspect from launching proxy governments to weapons supply for vested interests.
Citizens in Libya have the opportunity to come forward in unity adopting only peaceful non-violent methods to drive the elements proved disastrous for the nation and form the state of the masses with direct involvement constituting Libyan participatory governance.
The process will be elaborated in a separate presentation.
Any election engineered by external sources directed at demarcations evidently leads to sectarianism and perpetual confrontation within society hindering progress viz.Iraq, Afghanistan and recent destabilization maneuvers in Pakistan.
Libyan people betrayed in the last year magnified civil war primarily with media propaganda and military strategy such as –
The mercenaries imported into Libyan provinces and subsequently escalating violence via heavy disproportionate NATO bombardment under humanitarian pretext exacerbated human toll and infrastructure demolition.
Hence, Libyans are urged to end internal fighting preventing outbreak of clashes that would only embolden hegemonic establishment via heads of the state appointments exclusively serving the imperialistic quest.
People in Libya need not be compelled into situation with undesirable outcome witnessed in Egypt, Yemen or any other Islamic nation.
The democratic function embedded with choices would enable electorate discretion for reconstruction of embattled nation and society proceeding on the path of solidarity, pluralistic concept that guarantees individual rights and political freedom to all while retaining national sovereignty.
Wishing Libyan citizens liberty from subjugation and unsavory influences with commitment to protect territorial integrity and national endowments meant for the republic barring reservations to the privileged inside and outside the domain.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
