The wave of riots reached Libya. And a few days of the manifestation of anger on February 17 last, the bloody repression of Gaddafi has already produced hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded. One might expect a violent reaction of the Colonel, the longest-serving Arab leader and one of the most ruthless.
Today, his massacre outraged the international community and embarrassed Italy and its ruling class. Also because Libya has always been an important country for Italy. And today, beyond the historical links, is an important partner. Recently, relations between the two countries have been marked by the signing of the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership signed in Benghazi August 30, 2008.
The Colonel and Knight wanted to close an old colonial disputes with such compensation in the form of an investment of EUR 5 billion in 20 years for infrastructure projects. A transaction "damages" but also a form of development aid tied to procurement of Italian companies. Beyond the economic aspects, the collaboration will include the construction of a system for control of land borders Libya to combat terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
And it is precisely on this point that the collaboration between the two countries was "qualifying." Italy to Libya has delegated the functions of monitoring and enforcement of migration flows. So Italy has started a policy of indiscriminate expulsions to Libya, without even worrying about any asylum seekers or international conventions on asylum and human rights.
Libya, in turn, rejects thousands of would-be immigrants in the desert with no regard for human rights. Over the past three years has worn a real genocide of poor people from sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Anyone taken back into the sea is sent back to Libya. And we know that the Libyan authorities will not hesitate to "accompany" and leave them in the middle of the desert without food or water.
In fact, according to experts' estimates, the Sahara has surpassed the Mediterranean in the ranking of the number of "martyrs of hope." Italy and Libya has paid for this "excellent service". And today, while the squares Arab revolt to demand freedom and dignity Italy is embarrassed because he can not ask its most effective contributor to respect human rights when you press it to make a real sacrilege of the dignity of persons.
And now that the Colonel uses the same methods against the protesters in Libya, Italy can not remain silent. Also because we have to worry about who can continue to stop the possible invasion of Arab immigrants. Well worth the ostrich policy and for this delicate work is a reliable expert, in fact the Colonel.
So, better not disturb him.
