| 2014-03-07 |
| [An Nahar] The West warned Libya on Thursday that political instability is hampering international efforts to provide assistance to the deeply-divided country. Italia's new Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini told Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan ... served as a diplomat for Libya during the 1970s, serving in India under Ambassador Mohammed Magariaf. Both men defected in 1980 and went on to form the National Front for the Salvation of Libya. Zeidan spent nearly three decades in exile in Geneva after the defection. During the revolution Zeidan served as the National Transitional Council's Europe envoy, and is credited as having played a key role in persuading French President Nicolas Sarkozy to support the anti-Qadaffy forces... and a large delegation of foreign ministers in Rome that "international partners are ready to help Libya", but the "uncontrolled circulation of arms" in the country was creating difficulties. The talks, attended by U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... , were held to weigh assistance for the transitional authorities in Libya. A U.S. intelligence assessment in February warned that a power vacuum in Libya, where the government is struggling to counter well-armed militias, was fueling krazed killer groups across the region and posed an "acute" terror threat. Security forces are regularly attacked, especially in the east. Observers fear rival ex-rebel groups, heavily armed with weapons looted from the arsenals of former dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...Proof that a madman with money will be politely received for at least 42 years until his people get tired of him and kill him... , could yet push Libya into civil war. In February, La Belle France ruled out Western military action against Islamist fighters in southern Libya, a region that the U.S. has identified as a new haven for al-Qaeda-linked bad boys. |
