BY: ASCENCIO Canchari SULCA The secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, said that "the Security Council, UN-act according to the decision of the international community", added further that " We are considering a range of options ", this on a possible military intervention in Libya. Most seems that Ban Ki Moon is awaiting final word from Barack Obama. Some international analysts are asking as Marc Lynch, "It is time for the U.S., NATO, UN and Arab League to act decisively to stop this bloody situation to degenerate into something worse still."
In response to these statements Ghoga Abdel Hafiz, new spokesman for the National Council of Libya-embryonic transitional government and included representatives of all the liberated cities based in Benghazi, he said, "We are totally against any military intervention by any country that is, the rest of the Libyan be released by the Libyan people, "adding that" it is out of the question of Libya division between North, South, East and West, or tribal bases along. "
The specter of U.S. intervention is just what you want Gaddafi, that would play in his favor, as often happens with U.S. intervention. This type of intervention would produce precisely the opposite effect sought. Gadhafi knows how to use the passions and prejudices of the Libyan people. Western intervention would strengthen Qaddafi, and who knows might even save a well-deserved end. Look, say Gaddafi, aliens return to take control of the country.
Libya, located north of the African continent, is a member of Arab League, has 6 million inhabitants and a GDP of 100.000 billion, the equivalent of two thirds of Egypt's GDP. Produces 1.7 million barrels of light oil per day, of which U.S.. Consumes 20%, Italy 35% and 15% European Union. It has the highest rate of production and export of hydrocarbons between oil and gas. Gaddafi
jumped onto the world stage in 1969, when he and other young officers kicked off the throne by King Idris. Gaddafi was once the bane of the West, but in the last decade had sought an accommodation with imperialism. In September 2003 the UN lifted all economic sanctions against Libya in exchange for an economic package which included plans to privatize 360 \u200b\u200bstate enterprises and in 2006 Libya even asked to join the World Trade Organization. Signed agreements with Berlusconi, Sarkozy, Zapatero and Blair, likewise has received the English king Juan Carlos, representing employers in this country. In 2008 the former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said that "Libya and the U.S. shared permanent interests: cooperation in the fight against terrorism, trade, nuclear proliferation, Africa, human rights and democracy." Thus, Western powers have forgotten their past differences. And Saddam Hussein was an ally of the U.S.. while wearing his aggression against Iran, but for its invasion of Kuwait lost lady and became a pariah.
Today, multinational oil companies operating in Libya, such as British Petroleum, Exonn, Mobile, Total, Repsol, among others. In addition there is much foreign investment, especially from Europe in the area of \u200b\u200bcivil construction, infrastructure and tourism. Add something that may be important, Gaddafi, is a partner with a 5% stake in Italian automaker Fiat and is almost owner of the football team Juventus.
is true. Images from Libya are painful. But someone called for Western military intervention when the planes Israel bombed Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, or when the bombing did not stop in Afghanistan and Iraq by the United States. Was it necessary to intervene militarily against Israel and the USA., This time? We wonder. TacnaComunitaria
