Angelina Jolie Off To Libya As Celebrity Humanitarian

Angelina Jolie has gone off a two-day humanitarian trip to Libya where she will undoubtedly be the fanciest and most celebrated woman in that country torn by revolution.

The 36-year-old Jolie who purports to be a keen activist and a good-will ambassador for the United Nations is visiting the deeply troubled North African nation to meet with representatives from several organizations providing assistance to Libyans in Misrata and Tripoli Angelina hopes to express solidarity with locals.

She said in a statement: I have come to Libya for a variety of reasons, to see a country in transition at every level. I will be meeting with officials from all sides but above all, listening to the local people in the street. I am here to express solidarity with them.

Just what Libya needs a rich privileged actress wandering about .

Angelina added: It is the work of rebuilding and recovery that will determine Libyas future.

Angelina and her partner Brat Pitt who raise six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, together recently donated $340,000 through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to children in Somalia.

The star has previously thanked Somali refugees for helping to inspire her and make her a better parent.

Angelina said: Im so grateful to the refugee families that I have the honour and privilege to spend the last years with. From them Ive learned so much. Ive learned to be a better person, a better mother. Theyve inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.

The woman means well, we assume, but thinking that Somalia will become a happy place before it throws off the fundamentalist and criminal yoke under which it labors is just ridiculous.
