The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 93
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order entire African Continent was split-up into either smaller or bigger portions with the sole purpose of funnelling all wealth of this land, now and later, to the benefit of the people of the West. Most of the problems facing African nations, after their independence, have their roots in these unfair divisions. The concept of national unity gives rise to linguistic unity and then a person finds unacceptable such geographical barriers which conflict with linguistic boundaries. Then there is the problem of protracted historical animosities between various African tribes. Take the case of Liberia as an example, where serious bitterness exists between different tribes. Such enmities not only exist within nations but are widespread over large territories. Some of such nations have been split up in such a way that stronger nations have established hegemony over comparatively weaker nations. In effect many such conflicts have emerged. Consequently the whole of Africa is in the grip of insecurity, mistrust and prejudice. No one has ever thought of eliminating these injustices, nor has anybody considered it to be of any importance. By now, the situation has deteriorated to such an extent that it is considered that even if all of these injustices are removed and Africa is divided all over again, the threat to the peace of this continent would far exceed the present dangers. This, as such, is the summary of the relationship between history and geography. NAIVE LOGIC OF THE WESTERN THINKERS Now when we revert to the case of the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq, it seems that, if a non-Muslim country occupies the territory of a Muslim country and thus changes the geography, it poses no danger to world peace. So to say, if a Western power or powers jointly alter the geography of a vast continent; wreck its economy and carry out such unfair and unjust divisions, turning it into a active volcano ready to erupt any moment - then such an action would pose no danger to world peace. On the contrary, if a Muslim country occupies the territory of another Muslim country, it threatens the peace of the whole world! This "threat to world peace", the Western powers contend, cannot be tolerated! This is their ultimate logic which we have been able to understand, after making this analysis. This history is based on well known facts and is not such a thing that I have now discovered, or with whom the Muslim scholars or 93
