ROME - The news from the front of the civil war in Libya today tell of repeated air strikes on Ras Lanouf, especially valuable because hub port city of the country's oil wealth. Just focusing on the interest for the western black gold, the insurgents seek the intervention of foreign air forces to defend the wells and added: "Gaddafi is prepared to submerge in illegal immigrants." Topics that leaders and diplomats do not cite in a day where it seems to strengthen the possibility of a military option to end the violence of the Libyan regime against civilians.
Shortly before Obama confirm that armed intervention is taken seriously by NATO, by its previous statements of the Secretary General of NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussen on the "unacceptability" of the situation in Libya, Ras Lanouf comes the news of a pick-up attacked by a fighter of the colonel on the outskirts of the city.
On board, along with father, mother and grandmother to three children. A journalist saw blood on the seats of the vehicle, witnesses said that two children have died. "I want to send a clear message to employees of Gaddafi - Obama said shortly after the meeting in Washington with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard - You must account for all this violence." Before Obama, Rasmussen says that "you can not stand still, that NATO is ready to act, but admits that the military action in Libya is the great dilemma of the international community.
NATO, in fact, would not move except by command of the Security Council, where France and Britain are drafting the text of a resolution for the no-fly zone Libyan airspace. Resolution agreed to see Foreign Minister Franco Frattini: "The attack against civilians justified to consider setting up a no-fly zones - said the Minister - but we need a mandate from the UN Security Council, a decision NATO and add that essential condition is not against the Arab League and African Union.
" The real obstacle is precisely the Security Council. The no-fly zone requires a broad regional support, and above all rules of engagement in the event of a breach of the block plane. In practice, to ensure the no-fly zone is in itself a military engagement. Exactly the option that Russia, a permanent member of the Security Council, strongly rejected, declaring, by the voice of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, against any interference.
"The only problem is Libyan, if the see each other," the gloss top diplomat in Moscow. Contrary to the military option is also the Interior Minister Roberto Maroni. "If action is taken the wrong way, Libya could become the new Afghanistan, in the hands of terrorists. All we want except that.
Before deciding to bomb before the warmongers take over, we should develop a policy of aid." And here Maroni shifts the focus on emergency landings, renewing the call for assistance to the European Union because Italy "can not do it alone." Talk of "Marshall Plan", Maroni, a "plan of action that allows these countries to move towards more democratic systems without the risk of terrorist infiltration." Meanwhile, the proprietor of the Interior Ministry recalled the "€ 100 million contribution that we have asked Europe to meet this extraordinary situation." The hope is to see Maroni solutions already to the European Council of 11 March, which will address the theme of the Libyan crisis.
The European Union, the voice of the head of European diplomacy, Catherine Ashton, responds to Maroni paesei stating that all States, with the exception of Great Britain and Denmark are ready to share the burden of hospitality to refugees. And in the meantime is preparing to strengthen financial sanctions against Gaddafi.
The goal, according to diplomatic sources, is in particular the sovereign fund Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), which owns 2.6% of Unicredit and 2% of Finmeccanica. And Frattini states that the freezing of shares in Italian companies in the Libyan Government will follow the decisions dell'Uone European Union.
On the domestic front, mixed signals coming from Libya. While Gaddafi military presses toward the east, a former prime minister, Azous Jadallah al-Talha, a native of Cyrenaica, appears on TV to appeal to the rebels for a national dialogue that will put an end to the bloodshed. The response of the Libyan National Council: dialogue only after Kadhafi leaves power.
The pan-Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat, based in London, citing sources very close to the Council of the rebels, even talk of a Qaddafi ready to go into exile in return for immunity for himself and his family. Gaddafi had also sent a negotiator in Benghazi, with a condition of transfer of power to the Libyan parliament.
