Libya: The Coalition in turmoil

By on June 16, 2011
Among other reasons for the military offensive against the Libyan leader was his speech and his solemn pledge to crush the insurgents in the blood. Indeed,

we have to keep in mind the motivations of control over energy sources and the Chinese overwhelming expansion and influence. Thus defying the international community, Colonel Qaddafi has been enough to back this community to deploy the adequate means to get rid of him – The UN vote  of resolution 1973. Unleashing Libya from Gaddafi is now a clear political objective of all its opponents.  More the Colonel resists, more heaviest  the tribute to pay will be for both sides. His fate is sealed, though the coalition forces and and insurgents’ will is strong enough. However, recent senior U.S. officials statements, calling on NATO members for more sacrifices to engage  their military resources and the risk that the U.S. financial contribution to be  reduce, are strong signals to understand the complexity of the conflict, the interests at stake and the risky disorder on the outcome of the conflict. Some voices are already warning that the National Transition Council is marked by a radical Islamist flavor and the post-Kadhafi era could be worse. But the CNT had certainly provided sound guarantees for such massive support from Britain, France and recently Germany. And it is hard to imagine these countries engaged in the name of freedom and democracy, to jeopardize the Libyan population under the yoke of another dictatorship. Panama has very recently recognized the CNT and Liberia has severed its diplomatic relations with the Libyan regime.
