Stop "Ignorant & Starving Africans" and avoid a “black Europe”: Gaddafi

Col Gaddafi has long seen himself as a champion of African interests on the international stage and has hosted many summits with African leaders.

Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a “black Europe”.

Speaking on a visit to Italy, Col Gaddafi said Europe “could turn into Africa” as “there are millions of Africans who want to come in”.

Striking civil servants in South Africa have issued a warning to the country's President Jacob Zuma over the strike saying they would not hesitate to push him out of office any-time just like his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki.

Zuma is currently in China as the strike intensifies, crippling service delivery including hospitals and school. Unions, according to reports say Zuma should have postponed his trip to China and directly intervened in the strike.

One of the strike organizers, National Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) James Kruger is on Wednesday quoted as saying, "Some people say away with the ANC, but the problem is not the ANC. The problem is leaders we elect. We had Thabo Mbeki. Now President Zuma is in China when he should be here.
