On the publication on his blog from last February 8th “un té en el bazar” (“a tea in the bazaar”), titled “Libia: la intervención militar que viene” (“Libya: the upcoming military intervention”), Javier Martín, one of the more experienced Spanish journalists in the Middle East –where he lives and works as a correspondent and reporter for the EFE Agency, being also a member of the CEMOFPSC Advisory Committee- does wisely talk about the delicate situation of that country and the unfortunate action of international powers.
After five years since the allied military intervention and overthrow of dictator Gadafi during the civil war, the author estates “Libya is a failed state afflicted by chaos and a fratricidal war, where a rifle means more than a life and future is a luxury almost nobody trust in”.
The current situation is the one of a fierce war between two governments: the rebel and pro-Islamist in Tripoli and the accepted by the International Community in Tobruk. The consequence of it is the “regret of thousands of Sub-Saharan citizens who are victims of war, hunger, despair and the greed of human traffickers”.
The process of dialogue, forced and overseen by UN, and which purpose is to reach an agreement about a National Unity executive to fulfill the lack of power progressively occupied by Yihadist groups, seems to be sterile, seeming the threat of a new foreign military intervention each time more and more possible.
