The leader pointed out that the one third of the Arabs outside Africa are in Asia, but they are not in Asia in the true sense, since part of them are on the Mediterranean Sea and they’re being attracted by the Mediterranean Sea, east of the Mediterranean and so on.
The other part of the one third, which is the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula, they’re neither from the Middle East nor from Asia.
The Leader expressed fear that the one third out of Africa could become isolated areas and influence spheres for large spaces.
In his speech, the Leader of the Libyan Revolution stressed that it’s better to rely on youths and women’s forces to achieve the great historic transformation represented in establishment of the African Union or United African States, than the politicians’, because activities of the African Presidents, who are controlled by the constitutions and elections, were paralyzed; they only think about elections, campaigns and the remained term; this wouldn’t enable them of strategic thinking for Africa, its coming generations and establishment of the United State of Africa.
In his speech, the Leader reaffirmed to the Arab-African Youths that the African environment is a tribal one, which doesn’t belief in partisanship and elections that were brought to African people by the States of old colonialism.

The Leader of the Libyan Revolution exposed, in his speech, the true goal of the Christian missions in Africa. He clarified that the objective of these missions behind teaching Christianity to Africans is to control them spiritually and to keep them in loyalty of the Christian church in Europe and in America, despite that Jesus was sent neither to Africa nor to Europe; to which Christianity was, by chance, transferred, but he was sent to the sons of Israel to correct the doctrine of Moses.
The Leader stressed that Africa, which is suffering from famine, diseases and thirstiness; does not need to learn Christianity, but agriculture, industry and health; indicating that if volunteers of the European and American church want to assist Africa, they should help African in combating diseases, in education and how to utilize river and lake water in agriculture.
The leader emphasized in his address that the establishment of the United States of Africa, African gaining a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, demanding compensation from colonists of the continent for the colonial period and building a modern industry and agriculture in Africa would only be realized by clean revolutionary leaderships, which have a serious unitary African agenda, which they believe it would unite Africa, and so that the continent wouldn’t once again fall prey to the colonial forces.
The leader called for holding on to serious clean African leaderships, who have a national program such as presidents Museveni, Mugabe, Campoare, Wade and the other African leaders like them.
The leader stressed that the serious clean African leaders shouldn’t be restrained by imitated constitutions, elections, parties and limited presidential terms, which were imposed by the west and made accepting it a precondition for offering assistance.
The leader urged youths to reject all the foreign pressures being practiced by the progressive and rich nations, which plundered Africa’s wealth and made their fortunes from it, and which should provide assistance without setting conditions, rather they’re dictating partisan and Western elections to Africa.
He also urged the youths to once and for all stop immigration to America and Europe, and to remain in Africa, which is still a very rich continent in spite of what was plundered.Libyan
The Leader of the Libyan Revolution reaffirmed that the use of arms and power to solve internal political crises in Africa is backwardness.
