| Renzi Cautions Italy Parliament would Need to Green-light Libya Intervention |
| 2016-03-06 |
| [An Nahar] Prime Minister Matteo Renzi cautioned Saturday that any military intervention in Libya by Italia would first need the approval of parliament, and that Rome would not be rushed into action. Any "Italian commitment" against offshoots of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in the conflict-torn country "would need to go through the necessary parliamentary and institutional steps", he said in a note to his center-left Democratic Party. "This is not the time to force things, this is the time for good sense and composure," he warned, after the murder of two Italian hostages in Libya sparked increased pressure at home for the country to send in special forces. The prime minister repeated that a long-anticipated move against the IS remains on hold as long as Libya has not formed a unified government with the authority to ask for help to stem the myrmidon group's growth. Italia has agreed to lead a UN-mandated international stabilization force into its troubled former colony, but the sticking point remains getting credible cover from a national authority. "The situation in Libya is increasingly delicate. The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... ' work to reach a solid and stable agreement on the government is still underway," Renzi said. Italia needed to be especially cautious following the deaths of two kidnapped Italians in Sabratha near Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , he said. |
