what do think of libya quiting dead arab league which somalia is also a member,do you think other countries will follow the footsteps of LIBYA!!

 

anyway here is the news about libya:

 

CAIRO (Reuters) - Oil-rich Libya, whose leader once said he was "ashamed" of Arab policy in the Middle East, asked to withdraw from the 22-member Arab League on Thursday, an Arab League spokesman said.

 

No reason was immediately given for the decision. But leader Muammar Gaddafi in September called on Libyans to quit the pan-Arab body to protest against what he called "official Arab cowardice" in the face of Israel and the United States.

 

Arab League spokesman Hesham Youssef told Reuters: "We received this afternoon the memo for withdrawal from Libya."

 

He said League Secretary General Amr Moussa had made contacts with senior officials in Libya after being informed of the step. "We hope we can change Libya's mind," Youssef said.

 

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher told reporters in Cairo he had received a phone call from Libyan Minister for African Affairs Ali Triki who said Libya took the step to express frustration with "the Arab position." Maher did not elaborate.

 

Arab League sources said Moussa, respected by many Libyan officials for his sharp criticism of Israel, would travel to Libya shortly to discuss the matter.

 

Moussa also visited Libya last month to try to reassure Gaddafi after his September call to quit the League.

 

Gaddafi had told Libyans the failure of Arab leaders to confront U.S.-backed Israel's policy of cracking down on Palestinians waging an uprising against Israeli occupation made him feel "ashamed to be an Arab."

 

In March, Gaddafi retreated from earlier plans to quit the League over his objections to a Saudi-sponsored Middle East peace plan.

 

The League was founded in 1945 to promote Arab unity and help end the influence of colonial powers in Arab states, as well as to confront "the Zionist challenge" of what would become Israel. But it has been racked by squabbling among members.

It's intresting as bro. shuju said, but col. ghadafi was one of the arabic nationalism leaders alongside with gamal abdilnasir and now he became a leader of united states of africa, but it's as somalis said, KUD KA GUUR OO QANJO U GUUR , from one disease to another.

Arabism is nationalism as well as africanism.

so, the guy is looking power from other than ALLAH and he will never get as long as he is on this way, we're asking ALLAH to him as well as to us to guide us the right path.

Finally a country is quitting that useless league. What is the use of this league anyway?

 

I hope others will follow in the footsteps of LIBYA.
