Malta and the fighting in Libja

By Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, Campaign for National Independence CNI

To stop a fight you try to separate the fighters not help one side overcome the other.

In the civil war that there is in Libya, those who do not want to see further bloodshed, will do whatever they can to stop the fighting between the rebel forces and the government forces.

But the EU, is not eager that there will be no more killings between the Libyans, but is eager that the opposition wins.

And Malta, because it is bound with the European Union, is ignoring the Maltese Constitution that obliges to actively work for peace did not take any initiative to try to stop the fighting in Libya and to prevent more bloodshed.

Instead, it condemned the violent means with which the government forces are fighting the rebels violent means, as if, whoever is attacked, is not forced to defend himself.

The same is being done by the United Nations who is acting as wanted by the United States of America.

They decided to impose sanctions on the Libyan Government, as if it is not the Libyan people who are going to be hit badly by them.

The sanctions are not going to stop the violence, the fighting and the deaths.

But the Maltese Government with great haste applied them forthwith, without seeing whether the sanctions are going to cause more damage than good to the Libyan people.

The Maltese Government forgot the damage that the sanctions against had causes in the 90’s.

The EU and the United Nations condemned the use of violence against those who protested pacifically, but they did not condemn the use of violence by those who protest, damage and burn public places, steal from them, and kill the guards and security forces who tried to stop them from damaging, burn and pillage.

The EU and the United Nations recognize the Libyan Government, and they know that as any other Government of every country will do everything not to be disrupted by rebel elements in the country and foreigners hostile to it.

The EU and the United Nations uncovered their hands by making it clear that they are against the Libyan Government, and are supporting the rebel forces, without these giving any guarantee that they will protect the fundamental rights and freedoms, and either that they will implement democracy in the country.

The United States of America are more barefaced than the EU, and has given official recognition to the Liberty Council set up by the rebels in Benghazi, while the EU countries are giving them aid which they are calling humanitarian because it includes medicines health services and food.

Some of the EU countries such as the United Kingdom seem to be going to unite with the United States of America to militarily attack the Libyan Government forces, on the pretext that they want to prevent genocide.

As if, their military attack is not going to cause deaths among the Libyans as happens with the offensive that the rebels are conducting as well as the defence that the government forces make.

If one really wants to prevent genocide he should do his utmost for the fighting to stop, and afterwards, for negotiations to be held between the two sides, without foreign interference.

It is amazing how the Maltese Government appears to have shown that it is also supporting a military attack in Libya.

It is disgusting that the Prime Minister appeals to the Maltese people to approve that our country gives its share in implementing the military attack.

Without any hesitation it must be said that the Prime Minister is going to breach the Constitution of Malta when he authorizes that our country be used as a military base by foreign forces that are going to militarily attack the Libyan government forces.

Malta should not dirty its image of a country that actively works for peace by uniting with the EU countries and the United States of America who first sold as much arms and armaments as they could to Libya and now attack it.

If for the Prime Minister this is not hypocrisy, it is for the majority of the Maltese people.

How can the EU countries among them the United Kingdom and the United States of America condemn the use of arms by Libyan government forces when they did nothing to stop the Israeli government forces from butchering hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza and other Palestinian areas?

Is it not the Unites States that regularly gives billions of dollars and armaments to Israel notwithstanding the atrocities and violence that they commit against the civil population of Palestine?

And the Maltese Prime Minister, notwithstanding these Israeli atrocities and violence, is going for a visit to Israel to show the world that Malta blesses the continuation of the Israeli occupation in Palestine in breach of the United Nations resolutions.

In this issue of Libyan trouble, Malta has shown that it has lost the ability to act politically on its own, and is being swept as decided by the EU instead of Malta showing the EU as it should act in the trouble that occurs in the Mediterranean.

There is now the danger that Malta will also lose it vocation of a country that does not participate any longer in wars and that it always actively work for peace among nations, if Malta doesn’t have any longer the courage to work to bring peace among the Libyan people.

Failure of the EU Mediterranean policy

By the Campaign for National Independence CNI

The Libyan crisis has uncovered the uselessness and the shortcomings of the EU policy when it does not know how to shore up for the consequences of the civil war in that country.

The first consequence of the Libyan crisis is the increase in price of oil and the stopping of the oil supplies from Libya.

This is going to have a bad effect on the expenses of the EU countries Industries at a time when the European industries are trying to recover from the economic crisis lf these last years.

Another consequence of the fighting in Libya is the great mass of more than one hundred thousand foreign workers that have left the countries where they used to work.

While a great number of these workers are on the Tunisian Libyan frontier without any shelter and waiting to be given help with food and drink, the European Union is concerning itself with imposing sanctions on the Libyan Government instead of taking urgent measures required for the humanitarian crisis of these thousands of workers to be overcome.

There is the danger that many of these workers that have exited from Libya enter into the EU countries.

To shore up against this, the EU countries are still discussing what they should do, and till now appear that they do not want to accept the share among themselves the burden of the thousands that go to the nearest EU countries, such as Italy and Malta.

The EU also did not understand that the trouble that has occurred in Libya was going to lead to civil war where the Government resists the opposition efforts to remove it.

The EU did not see the social differences that exist between those of Tunisia and of Egypt and those of Libya, and thought that what happened in Tunisia and Egypt is going to happen in Libya.

Up to a few weeks go the European Union was discussing an agreement with the Libyan Government with which the EU was going to give it funds and aid in various sectors.

Now the EU is condemning in the harshest manner the same Government that it did not see anything wrong with it up to a few weeks ago so much so that it had put pressure on Switzerland to repeal the boycott that it had ordered to the Schengen countries to put on a number of Libyan leaders.

The same as had happened to it in Tunisia and Egypt in the political upheavals that thee were, the EU in Libya does not have any element on which to build the ties that the EU can have with a future Government of the country if the present one does not remain.

The EU is in darkness on the future of Libya, as it is in darkness on the other two countries.

The upheaval in these three Mediterranean countries has shown the failure of the EU policy in this region.

Partnership between Turkey and the EU

Last week the French President Nicolas Sarkozy paid an official visit to Turkey and publicly said that Turkey should conclude a “Special Partnership Agreement” with the European Union.

Sarkozy’s proposal of a partnership between the EU and Turkey belies all those who prior to Malta’s EU membership referendum assured the Maltese people that in the EU a Partnership agreement cannot be made.

The French President does not only want a Partnership, but wants a ‘Special Partnership’, which means that the UE is ready to also make a special arrangement for a country which would not apply as for other countries.

In Malta’s case no one was demanding that our country will have a ‘Special Partnership’ with the EU.

The request was for a Partnership agreement that the EU commonly concludes with many countries.

The French President insisted that Turkey cannot be a full member in the EU, notwithstanding that it has been discussing for years with the EU its request to become a full member.

Sarkozy insisted that it is not to Turkey’s benefit to adopt the EU aquis communautaire rules and regulations because they hinder it economically and socially, and that a Partnership agreement permits Turkey to adopt the EU policy in those sectors that do not hinder its economic and social progress.

Thus Turkey would be able to acquire all the EU advantages without being lumped with the disadvantages of membership and without being bound to operate according to the EU common foreign policy.

Turkey has frontiers with EU countries such as Greece and Bulgaria. It therefore qualifies for the EU Neighbourhood Policy and for the granting of funds by the EU to its neighbouring countries.

Malta would also have qualified under the EU Neighbourhood Policy because it is an EU neighbour.

Out of the EU, Malta could have become a partner without becoming a member, and thus Malta would have acquired all the EU advantages without being burdened with the disadvantages.

Malta can still take this step if it applies the Lisbon Treaty which gives it the power to leave the EU and conclude a new agreement with it.

It will be a great advantage for the Maltese people to take such a step as soon as possible.

The real reason for an attack on Libya

The British and American military interference in Libya appears in the eyes of the Arab world as a repetition of the aggression that occurred against Iraq.

As has happened in the Iraqi war, the Moslem wave against the West will increase and Islamic fundamentalism will be strengthened.

The advantage that the European Union countries and the United States of America think that they are going to win if they disrupt the Libyan Government will not compensate for the anger that foreign military interference will instil in millions of Arabs and Moslems who object that the Western countries seek every occasion to weaken the Moslem countries.

Arabs and Moslems who today are against the Libyan Government will turn against the United Kingdom and the United States and the other EU countries that take participate in the military attack on Libya.

This would mean another step in the road to war between the West and the Moslem world.

The first effects of foreign military interference in Libya will be in the two neighbouring countries, Tunisia and Egypt.

In these two countries no one knows what governments there will be in the future following the political upheaval that has lately occurred.

There is no doubt that the extremist elements in the two countries will try to take the occasion of the fact of foreign interference in Libya to influence public opinion against the West and against the Europeans.

They appear in the eyes of the mass of the Moslem people as those who want to again dominate as they used to do in times past.

Also in Libya’s case it is being said what had been said in Iraq’s case,

* that the real reason for the military interference is the presence of the provision of oil in the country,

* and do not want to risk that there will be leaders who will be capable to stop their oil.

A military attack on Libya would mean the destruction of great amounts of arms and armaments many of which have been sold to Libya by the same countries that are gong to carry out the attack.

The destruction of arms and armaments creates the need for the production of new arms and armaments and the military industry for the production of arms and armaments of the Western countries will do well when the arms and armaments are destroyed in the attack that is made on Libya.

If Libya is weakened, Israel will put its mind more at rest, and the United States and the EU countries want the danger to Israel be decreased, which will do its utmost to pressure them to weaken Libya.
