It took the death of 22 people in the Manchester terror attack to remind us that spin, lies and greed are still embedded in domestic and foreign affairs.

The established consensus in the UK and worldwide is that the duty of a government is to protect its people. That convention has to be encouraged. The media should act as watchdog to ensure that the truth reaches a wider audience.

According to John Pilger, “The alleged suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, was part of an extremist group, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, that thrived in Manchester and was cultivated and used by MI5 for more than 20 years.”

Pilger explained how information in the UK is being ‘suppressed to protect the secrets of British foreign policy’:

“The overthrow of Gaddafi, who controlled Africa’s largest oil reserves, had been long  planned in Washington and London.

According to French intelligence, the LIFG made several assassination attempts on Gaddafi in the 1990s – bank-rolled by British intelligence. In March 2011, France, Britain and the US seized the opportunity of a “humanitarian intervention” and attacked Libya. They were joined by Nato under cover of a UN resolution to “protect civilians”.

The world of violence at a glance

According to a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, ‘Violence causes more than 1.6 million deaths worldwide every year. Violence is one of the leading causes of death in all parts of the world for persons ages 15 to 44.’

The deep-rooted greed and incompetence of African leaders and the downfall of a continent

Brief case study: Cameroon and Congo

Corruption, greed and selfishness typify African leaders who keep power at any price.

It may be argued that Western leaders are the manipulators behind the shameful show African nations and people have been displaying to the world for decades by killing each other, plunging their continent into a bloodbath of tribalism and endless wars.

But there is a different view. The good news, one might argue, is that colonisation has given enough basic tools to any nation in the world to be able to work hard and prosper. But the sad news is that, often generations down the line, African leaders are still waiting to be spoon-fed by others.

As a result, UK Government home and foreign policy have done more harm than good for people around the world since the last decade.

The moral question is: should the world stand by and see so many defenceless fellow human beings in Africa being exploited, brutalised and even killed for the sake of our iPhones?
