Armi in Libia, eccezione alla regola (Umberto Profazio, AffarInternazionali)

Volta alla stabilizzazione di un Paese ormai logorato da 5 anni di lotte intestine e consumato dall’espansionismo del gruppo terrorista del’autoproclamatosi Stato Islamico, la conferenza di Vienna sulla Libia ha prodotto risultato scontati, non in grado di imprimere una svolta e suscettibili di porre nuovi ostacoli al lungo processo di transizione

Obama and the Libya blame game: free-riding allies? (Jason W. Davidson, Aspenia online)

In a recent interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, President Obama accused America's European allies of being "free riders." He went on to say "I had more faith in the Europeans, given Libya’s proximity, being invested in the follow-up...." For Obama, Libya today is a "mess" because the US' European allies -he singles out Britain and France - did not carry their share of the burden and stabilize Libya after the coalition air war in 2011 that led to the fall of Muammar Qaddafi.

La politica della non-guerra in Libia (Giuseppe Cucchi, AffarInternazionali)

Per anni ci siamo lamentati che la Libia fosse in preda al caos senza che la comunità internazionale sentisse alcun dovere di intervenire. Abbiamo stigmatizzato il modo in cui Gheddafi era stato rovesciato, senza avere però alcuna idea sul come gestire il vuoto di potere creatosi. Non siamo arrivati a dire "si stava meglio quando c'era lui!" ma ce lo avevamo sulla punta della lingua.

Libia, meno droni e più soldati, ma per fare cosa? (Vincenzo Camporini, AffarInternazionali)

La Libia e la concretizzazione del Libro Bianco della Difesa. Sono questi gli argomenti che domineranno il Consiglio Supremo di Difesa che si terrà venerdì.

Five Years on: the Destruction of Libya Continues (Alexander Mezyaev, Strategic Culture Foundation)

Five years ago, on Feb. 15, 2011, a war was launched against a project of global significance, which will remain in history as the Libyan Jamahiriya. Libya had shown the international community that there were alternatives to capitalism as a path of development, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This model of development that were based on the principles of social justice was unacceptable to the West and was a primary cause of the outbreak of war in 2011.

Libya: Something Should Be Done (Neville Teller, Eurasia Review)

“Something should be done” is a phrase which resonates with students of Britain’s political history. It was the off-the-cuff comment made by short-term King Edward VIII in November 1936, just a month before he abdicated to marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson. He was visiting an abandoned colliery in an area of high unemployment.

Is ISIS preparing to relocate to Libya? (Azeem Ibrahim, Al Arabiya)
