Lybia-. Sadness-.

Here again!
I'm veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery stressed with all the big exams I'm having in school and a lot of other stuff...(If it goes well I'll tell you, I promise!) But this blog can't stay idle so long! We have to give it rythm!(;

Well, today I'm writting because I had to tell you about the dramatical situation we live in. It's (like) a new war!
(With all these Northafrican conflicts I just feel like I'm having a Dèja-vu everytime I write.) But this time it's different. It's about Lybia. As all of you surelly know things are going out of controll there. But let's go to the top, as all this began...
Everything seemed like they were just another Northafrican country where the majority of people were against the government. Against Gadafi better said. People began to rebel and demonstrate against them, wanting Gadafi's dimission. But he staied in the top, and later, seeing that revolts weren't stopping, he  attacked the people. A lot of ''rebels'' died and the UN took part. They told Gadafi to stop, and he agreed, but only for a short time. Guns fired again, but he said it wasn't he's fault, it was a terrorist's band's. (Al Qaida). The UN didn't believe him, so thay gave the permission to attack. The coalition, with France, EEUU and England in the top, began a war through air and sea, not even touching lybian ground. Gadafi announced a second ''Fire stop'', but it failed again. And the coalition is now controling lybians air traffic.


Well, this was the resume. Now let us reflect:
Was an armed attack really necessary? First of all, we still being reasonable human beings, why not talk? Some of you will say: Gadafi is not listening to anyone. Well, maybe he's not listening but, did anybody do a real effort to change that? As fas as I know, any politics went to Lybia to talk to him os even SEE if everything is like the media says. Gadafi, as he announced the second ''fire-stop'', said: Come, come to Lybia and see I'm not lying! But nobody went. I'm not saying Gadafi is innocent, of course not!
I heard him talk as the ''war'' began and it really freaked me out.
-He wants to arm everyone in Lybia, tell women how to fight... and he's sure Lybia will win, and everyone is happy about it there. They will win against the ''devil'' (coalition), and they're showing the whole world they're brutes. 'Cause this is a modern way of occupation.-
Obviously, this is not something a sane person would say. But anyway, ''se han juntado el hambre y las ganas de comer'', as we say here. It means something like they were both looking forward to it. Does this means that the coalition wants something more than peace? Something like... petrol, for example? It saddes me to admit this is the most credible and important reason. Humans are so greedy they usually forget they're human first.


Well my friends, there's not much to say about this... for the moment. Think about it, watch the news, read the papers, etc... (Media is being a little bit imprecise anyway. They don't have first-hand information and don't really know who's attacking and who's not, so it's not that reliable. But anyway, this is better than nothing!)
And wish there are no more victims (They were 48 deaths and 150 injureds because of the coalition and more than 8000 ''rebels'' lost their lives for the moment).
I feel so sad about all this.. I just still can't believe it.

  1. Me encanta! Por fin encuentro un blog así, en inglés y todo y encima con opinión de actualidad!
    Por cierto, soy Alejandro (foro + cmu).
    Voy a leer más!
    Y respecto al tema, que siempre viene bien dar más opiniones,supongo o quiero suponer que esta guerra se está haciendo para evitar un daño mayor sobre la población civil por parte de Gadafi, pero ¿no hay otra solución no violenta? Me temo que aquí hay gato encerrado, basado en el poder y el interés propio.
