How can we accept that our foreign affairs staff being formed by the Libyans?

It’s true that Libya has huge financial resources due to its oil and gas output, and it’s also true that we in sub-Sahara Africa are in dire need for aids and investment, but should we allow ourselves senseless gestures in order to get those aids. Why I’m asking this question? Because how can a country with very bad ties with almost all the globe, and bad records when it comes to human right issues and besides all that an ideology which denies its people their basic right like democracy and freedom, can teach and form our leaders.
As i have told you, we are not alone on the list of the countries who have seen themselves oblige to meet the Libyan leader demands in order to get a slice of his cake, and make their countries economy run for another month. But at the end of the day, this way of doing business will never help our countries to develop and become strong enough to meet its own needs. That’s why I think we should bank only on ourselves and our arms in order to lift our countries like what the Asians have done which’s the right solution, and avoid being a doll in the hand of the others.
