Within days the United States and Europe have shifted from passive waiting to preparations for military intervention in Libya, with fleets deployed, penalties and announcements on that line. The war drums are heard in Berlin, where Chancellor Merkel has dismissed discreetly Qaddafi of "despot" and newspapers and wonder why medicine does not apply humanitarian bombing Yugoslav him.
The military operation "Narfurah" in the German special forces airborne evacuated on Sunday to 22 people at a remote Libyan desert oil field, could be the appetizer. However, under international law, military intervention would only be legitimate if the Security Council considers that the UN world peace is in danger in Libya.
Mediterranean countries like Spain, France and Italy mention the danger of an uncontrolled wave of refugees and migrants, which is justified military the same scenario used in Kosovo. However, the risk of brain drain, for now, there as never cease to repeat in Geneva of the UN agencies concerned.
The problem is on the table, said in Geneva, is not Europe but Africa: the situation of those trying to leave Libya to Tunisia and Egypt. If you want to help fight the aid to those countries, and not a military intervention would be the right path. Libyan opposition does not want a foreign military intervention.
The National Council of Benghazi and has had contacts in that line or requested assistance. "One is deeply unwelcome outside interference," said a spokesman for the portal "Al-Araby." General Fatij, until recently head of Gaddafi's special forces and now in opposition, has rejected any Western military intervention.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Fatij has said the aid could be acceptable if it came from some Arab country friend. In this context, it appears the "force majeure". Legions of politicians and Western leaders call for intervention. Hillary Clinton said Washington would not rule out anything, "while the Libyan government Libyan continue to threaten and kill." Australian Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, spoke of Guernica, the "bombing of civilians", which came as news to many front pages of Western newspapers, without the slightest evidence in reality.
In Germany, the Greens, who were pioneers in the Yugoslav military crusade in the nineties, and mention the word "genocide." "What happened in Libya has already reached the limit of genocide", says Jürgen Trittin, the Green group leader in the Bundestag. "What we want NATO if the author does not stop a genocide?" Reads the editorial in Handelsblatt.
Only the German President Christian Wulf pointed out, timidly, that the North African despots have been partners for decades obedient and subject to praise and business. "In Germany and Europe, have adopted systems that deserved to be criticized," he said. But it is more than just a passing grade.
Since 2009 the European Union has exported arms to Libya worth 344 million. In Germany accounting for more than 80 million in the last three years, mostly military electronic equipment and helicopters, which can now be used against demonstrators. Interest is consistent. A subsidiary of BASF (Wintershall) with more than half a century of presence in Libya is the leading foreign producer of oil there.
The German energy company RWE has concessions for oil and gas exploration in an area of 40,000 km. Siemens is involved in the Pharaonic project of the "Great Artificial River" Gaddafi in a few years settled hopelessly Saharan groundwater. Interests are also clear on the issue of illegal antiemigración European device "Frontex", in which Gaddafi, on his return to the fold Western in 2003, has been an effective retaining wall, arresting, torturing and killing illegal immigrants bound for Europe, according to European Parliament last June.
And there's the oil. Libya is Africa's third largest exporter of oil, but its territory includes the largest reserves in the continent, estimated at 45,000 million barrels. Europe imports from Libya 3% of its gas and oil 10% (Germany 8%), but the crisis affects the prices and it is unclear that increased extraction is carried out always concerned compensate for Saudi Arabia fall in production in Libya.
In this context, the life of the Libyans has risen in price in the western stock. Who remembers that a few weeks ago reported the same powers that the despot grew to Gaddafi as a member? A little over a year, Hillary Clinton was a son of Gaddafi in Washington. In the tent of the despot passed since 2003, Condoleeza Rice, Tony Blair, Aznar and Zapatero, Chirac and Berlusconi, among others.
"External powers must act in Libya," from a humanitarian perspective and not by considerations of its oil interests, "said Sunday in Düsseldorf Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
