North Africa
The Blue Revolution
26 April 2011
The mass strike phenomenon, which ousted the longtime leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, and which is now taking over Europe and the United States, has opened up the possibilities of a rapid improvement in the standard of living for people in the whole region. What the people of North Africa revolted against was the long-standing murderous policies of the new imperialism, "globalization," often dictated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). One of the top priorities will be to make the deserts bloom! Through projects such as the filling of the Tunisian "chotts" and the Qattara Depression in Egypt, and a new north-south development corridor parallel to the Nile River Valley, North Africa have great possibilities of conquering the Sahara and greening huge land areas, thus opening them up for human settlements and agriculture, increasing food production, and eliminating hunger and poverty. Together with the Transaqua project for refilling Lake Chad, the Gezira agricultural scheme in Sudan, and other water projects, the "Blue Revolution" of North Africa will be one of the cornerstones for securing a bright future. |
