Should it intervene militarily in Libya under an international mandate? In France, the intervention of the coalition been a sort of "sacred union". But in recent days, critics of the intervention begin to make their voices heard. Journal of arguments. Even within states that have defended this action, the consensus becomes more fragile as the military operation lasts.
In France, where parliamentary debate took place three days after the first missile, a vast majority of politicians defended the government decision. While cautioning against "turning Arab public opinions" and the assumption of "a form of stalemate in the conflict," the patron saint of Socialist deputies, Jean-Marc Ayrault, chose to criticize the Minister of Interior, Claude Gueant, who had spoken of "crusade".
Only the Communist Party has refused "to interfere [his] voice unanimism blissful and blind that gathers around President Sarkozy and the entry into the war on France." United States, Barack Obama must be justified before the Republican opposition, denouncing a war that parliamentarians could not discuss, but also against the left wing of the Democratic Party, which rejects a military intervention against a Muslim countries after the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
In particular, questioned the cost of this war, the nature of military command, run initially by Washington and the absence of any exit strategy, and a lack of clarity and communication from M . Obama. An argument that is somewhat toned down by a chronic Alain Frachon in Le Monde. "In 1991, the United States have protected Iraqi Kurdistan divisions of Saddam Hussein.
Sheltered from the area of air protection, the two major Kurdish parties in Iraq first began to settle scores by Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers. Then they sealed a political agreement, held elections, and, year after year, dear Rony Brauman, they have made the region safer, more democratic and prosperous Iraq .
It took time. " More virulent, the managing editor of Mediapart, Edwy Plenel, directly challenges Nicolas Sarkozy, who had made this "maneuver warfare" a "calculating politician." "We will oppose, of course, the end justified the means that relativizing: kill a dictator to come to the aid of popular uprisings, protect civilians ...
But it is here that the buildup of circumstance an invented war to forget and to persist: to make you compromise, persist in domination, "he writes. He cites as evidence that the convictions of Mr. Sarkozy vis-à-vis the regime of Muammar Gaddafi has radically changed in recent years, as his attitude towards the Arab revolt has morphed into a few weeks.
"After an embarrassed silence as disdainful, his first reaction to the democratic uprisings that brought down his two friends, Ben Ali and Mubarak, officials pillars of his Union for the Mediterranean, was in awe and fear", said Edwy Plenel. The blog from the Washington Post Fact Checker asks him, why this concept of humanitarian intervention does not apply in Darfur, Sudan's troubled region that Barack Obama had yet prioritized early in his mandate.
"Take the case of the province of Darfur," writes reporter Glenn Kessler. Sudan is bordered by Libya, and its president, Omar al-Bashir, became the first head of state to be tried for genocide (. ..). The tragedy in Darfur is a conflict in slow motion, contrary to the very rapid civil war in Libya, and potentially requires different tools.
But the conflict in Darfur has not disappeared, despite the rhetoric of Obama campaign when he said he 'does not intend to abandon the people or ignore the massacres. "One day, these words may come back to haunt him." Luke Vinogradoff
