Forbes: Kerry Kennedy Unwitting Al Qaeda Ally

: 03/06/13

Forbes has published a stinging report, written by Richard Miniter, on Kerry kennedy, president of the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights, campaign for the "Saharan" People.
The article shows how Ms. kennedy was skillfully manipulated by shadowy groups linked to terrorism. The reporter who had visited the camps of the Western Sahara Separatist Polisario Front, describes the abject poverty in the camps and the opulence of the one party president for life M. Abdelaziz, " the man who has ruled the Polisario since 1976.

He has won a series of one-candidate elections ever since. He talks about “democracy” and “human rights,” as African dictators usually do—as an ideal that always remains firmly in the future."

Kerry Kennedy's Naive Line In The Sand In Our Ongoing War On Terror

From the murder of the U.S. ambassador in Benghazi to the tragic hostage crisis at a gas plant in Southern Algeria, al Qaeda’s affiliates have now opened a new African front against America and her allies.

And al Qaeda has a new and unwitting ally: the West’s all too trusting B-list celebrities.

Sadly, this includes Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of late senator Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy, a Huffington Post blogger and president of the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights, was skillfully manipulated by shadowy groups linked to terrorism. She was become a spokeswoman for a cause whose real agenda would terrify her, if she knew it.

She believes that she is standing up for the human rights of a dispossessed indigenous people (the Saharans) who are represented by a paramilitary force known as the Polisario Front. They live in a string of refugee camps near Tindouf, a settlement in Southern Algeria. On their behalf, she produces videos like this one.

I’ve been to several Polisario camps in Algeria that Kennedy visited and I have heard their grievances. I’ve met and interviewed Mohammed Abdelazziz, the man who has ruled the Polisario since 1976. He has won a series of one-candidate elections ever since. He talks about “democracy” and “human rights,” as African dictators usually do—as an ideal that always remains firmly in the future.

First thing first the author is not pro Morocco by any means here he is almost ridiculing the government of Benkirane in this article.

forbes.com/.../...

There is a wrong link in the article where it says,
"This disturbing video documents what Kennedy would prefer not to see."

The author wants to point to this video instead:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-BroqLvd_Wk[/youtube]

Now that this is settled, Facts are always more believable when coming out of Western media, news have more weight when divulged in Time of Forbes magazine as opposed to Alhayat or al khabar.

This is what Morocco needs, people who report the news without being paid or lobbied.

We have been showing the horrible video above and no one seems to care. I recommend that those who care about the truth writes to the editor of Forbes and ask them to correct the link. I did. but if many of us point that out, the correction will take place.

I hope that Morocco capitalize on this Article and you people should do the same by showing the video all over. No one has ever pointed out that the Polisario thug has been electing himself for 40 years and all those so called human rights defenders chose to look the other side.

Could you send, please, the journalist of Forbes this documentary made by two filmakers about slavery in the Polisario camps. (I can't do it from my work).

Here is the trailer of the documentary:

The world must hear and see the lies of the Polisario. They are a bunch of racists.

Thanks.

The Moroccan diplomats and the foreign minister are the worst in PR and foreign relations, also the lazyest, Been diplomats for them is traveling the world and enjoy the vacations. They are not pro active, they are reactive.

The problem with Moroccan diplomacy is that it's too....Moroccan ...Our diplomats don't know how to speak an international language. You won't score points with an international audience by mentioning history, speaking about "territorial integrity" and going on and on about praising the king and how well we have been doing. The Polisario is an authoritarian corrupt organization. How they ended up representing the moral high ground is beyond me.
