The greatest contribution that Malta can give to Libya

By Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici Campaign for National Independence CNI

The Libyan war has entered into its fourth month and Malta still hasn’t done anything to try to stop the fighting.

Indeed the Maltese Government is supporting the attacks that some of the European Union member countries, such as France, England and Italy are making on Libyan cities with great damage to the civil population.

The European Union does not want fighting to stop in Libya until the Libyan Government steps down, and the Maltese Government is supporting this barefaced aggression, on the pretext that the Libyan people want a change in Government, when it is a clear fact that there is a great divide in Libya between those who support the Government and those who are against it.

The European Union wants a political solution for fighting to stop, while reason states that there should first be a cease fire, so that then the parties will be able to discuss what the political solution for the country crisis should be according to the free will of all the Libyan people.

The Maltese Government is kowtowing to the European Union policy notwithstanding that it knows that the longer fighting carries on, the greater will be the number of Libyans that are being killed and injured, not only among the soldiers, but also among the civilian population.

The European Union is supporting the Libyan rebels who set up a temporary government in Benghazi and although the Union has still not given them official recognition as the Government of all Libya, as done by France and Italy, is giving them great help, and these days, Lady Ashton, the EU foreign policy representative went to Benghazi to open the EU office in that city.

She publicly stated that the 27 EU member countries (including Malta) and all the EU institutions were supporting their fight against the Libyan Government.

Lady Ashton did not make any effort to encourage the rebels to accept a cease fire and when with her speech she encouraged them to continue their fight, she also spoke in the name of the Maltese Government which is an EU member.

But Malta, who has the duty to work for peace among nations, should never have supported an EU policy encouraging the continuation of the war, more so when the war is in a nearby country and when there is friendship between the two people.

It is not only in the interest of the Libyan people that there be no fighting in the country, but it is also in our own Maltese interest if we do not want to lose the hundreds of jobs of Maltese workers in Libya, as well as the business and the investment of many Maltese in that country, and about €80 million in exports from Malta to Libya every year.

There’s no doubt that the European Union policy on Libya is dictated by France and England, although the biggest Union country, Germany, did not agree with the military intervention of France, England and Italy in Libya.

The Maltese Government did not have the wisdom to do like the German Government and not approve the military intervention in Libya notwithstanding that it was authorized by the United Nations Security Council.

Germany which is in NATO is not approving the NATO attacks on Libya, while Malta, which is not in NATO, is supporting the NATO attacks.

Germany, although it is a member in the United Nations Security Council did not agree with the decision of the Council that authorized the military attacks on Libya, and is not agreeing with them.

While Malta, who should have a policy against war because it has the duty to actively work for peace among nations, agreed and is supporting the military attacks that NATO is conducting every night on cities and the Libyan civil population.

In the flames of the present civil war in Libya, the European Union is adding more fuel to the fire instead of trying to extinguish it, and the Maltese Government is an accomplice with the participation that Malta is taking in the Contact Group of the countries forming the coalition, who many have nicknamed the ‘Coalition of Evil’.

Because it is diabolical to say that you are protecting the civil population when with your actions, and the sanctions that you are applying, you ill be causing great damage to the people of the country.

The bombardments in Tripoli city are nothing except acts intended to terrorize the civil population, apart from the deaths and injuries that they cause.

The attacks on Libyan ports are not being made to protect the civil population.

The blockade of the transport of merchandise to Libya and passengers from that country is a cause of great damage to the civil population.

The giving or arms and armaments to the rebels help to increase the fighting not to reduce it.

The refusal for a cease fire if previously the Libyan Government is not deposed is an absurd stand that is intended to prevent a peaceful solution to the crisis.

That is why the coalition policy is an evil policy because it is hypocrisy and hides the true aims of the countries that are attacking Libya for their strategic interests.

The fact that the United Nations Security Council authorized the sanctions and attacks against Libya does not make them just and neither are they legally correct.

They are not just because they are causing great damage to the people, and not legally correct because they are not according to the United Nations provisions that do not justify military intervention in a civil war in member countries.

The Maltese Government knows about this, but it is sacrificing the country’s honour to faithfully serve the European Union leaders, even though this is not in our national interests.

The more time passes the more the aggression against the Libyan people is being increased.

The best help that the Maltese people can give to the Libyan people is help to as soon as possible, without any more delay, there will be an effective cease fire and the granting of all the required help t all the sectors of the civil population.

When there is a cease fire, all the sides will be helped to discuss and get the best possible agreement for the country, which would be according to the free will of all the people, and with respect for the rights and liberties of everyone.

Malta should encourage national reconciliation and pacification in Libya, not as wanted by the European Union, that one side emerges victorious on the other side.

This would be the greatest contribution that Malta can give for there to be peace in the centre of the Mediterranean.

A draft declaration for a cease fire in Libya

by Deo Cassar, Campaign for National Independence CNI

As Maltese, we cannot remain passive in front of the ugly events that a neighbouring and friendly people, the Libyans, are passing through.

Therefore, I wish first and foremost show my solidarity with all Libyans whatever their political leanings, whether they support the Libyan Government as well as against and encourage them to approach each other and forget their differences in a spirit of reconciliation for the common good of all the Libyan people.

We do not agree and condemn without any reservation the attacks on populated centres by all the parties in the conflict.

However we despise the fact that coalition aircraft who are supposed to be there to protect the civil population are themselves causing civil victims by attacking urban centres in other localities that have already left hundreds of innocent persons dead in breach of the same United Nations resolution 1973 that demands that such civilians be protected.

We also condemn the use of missiles and depleted uranium munitions by the coalition which are illegal under international law because they contaminate the air and the environment where they are dropped by radiation, and this causes great harm to the civil population health.

1) Forthwith, both the Tripoli Government troops as well as the Benghazi troops stop all sorts of hostile or military activity both against opposing troops as well as against citizens whether they are in favour or against the Tripoli Government.

2) Contemporaneously the coalition air forces forthwith stop all air attacks on cities, towns and other populated centres under the control of the Libyan Government and on the Tripoli government troops.

3) We remind that United Nations resolution 1973 requests and gives a mandate to the coalition air forces to protect a cease fore from both sides and to protect all Libyan civil citizens irrespective whether they are in favour or against the Tripoli Government and not to support one side against the other.

4) We therefore ask that the coalition air force and their countries that until a cease fire comes into effect to stop all support to the armed group against the Libyan Government which was never sanctioned by the United Nations and which constitutes interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign member in breach of Charter 50/172 of the United Nations itself and to abide strictly and do not exceed their mandate given to them by world organization resolution 1972 as already explained.

5) A fact finding mission should be sent made up of a joint delegation by the African Union and the Arab League under the auspices of the UN to examine the situation and see what is really happening with its own eyes with the intention to establish the immediate requirements of the Libyan people and what help needs to be given to reduce the sufferings of the civilians and to ensure that a cease fire is upheld and that civilians of opposite opinion are protected in the places under the control of both sides.

6) Contact channels between the two sides should be opened with the aim of starting a constructive dialogue and negotiations between the concerned parties with arbitration f the same African Union and Arab League with the aim of solving the actual crisis in Libya, not only of those civilians who are against the government in Tripoli, but also those who are in favour and who are also being subjected to intimidation, killings and violence by the troops and authorities of Benghazi.

7) The way should be smoothed so that until agreement is reached between the concerned parties and the actual crisis is solved, an unarmed delegation made up from many countries that have the trust of the two sides be sent to monitor the cities and towns to uphold the cease fire and the protection of civil persons from both sides.

8) The two partied need to put aside their personal interest and instead put the interests of all the Libyan citizens first and foremost.

9) We appeal to both parties in the conflict to as soon as possible arrive at a just agreement between them without interference or imposition and the sovereignty of their country that genuinely assures no discrimination against women and other minorities both religious as well as ethnic, especially of Libyan Africans, with respect for opinions, aspirations and wishes of all the groups that form all the Libyan people and not an agreement imposed from outside that only serve the economic and geopolitical interests of foreign forces to the detriment of the Libyan people
