Clinton has Bush’s foreign policy

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer It is of critical importance that the progressive movement make a sober assessment of the direction of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders has made the argument that his remarkable campaign, which drew the support of millions, would move the Democratic Party to the left. The reality, as demonstrated by what took place in the 4 days during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, shows that the Democratic Party in fact has moved to the right, not to the left. By the third day of the convention the majority of the Democratic Party delegates were chanting, “U-S-A! U-S-A!” to drown out the “No more war” chants of the Sanders supporters who were rejecting the bombastic, militaristic and pro-war agitation of the convention speakers...

Three women, loads of lies and the destruction of Libya

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (R) talks with Susan Rice (L), the US Ambassador to the United Nations in a Security Council meeting during the United Nations General Assembly on 23 September 2010 at UN headquarters in New York. [STAN HONDA/AFP via Getty Images] Dr Mustafa Fetouri Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power were the three principal advocates of war against Libya in 2011, setting the North African nation on a free fall ever since. Demonstrations broke out in some Libyan cities against the government of late Muammar Gaddafi in February 2011, in what became known as the “Arab Spring” that engulfed the region. However, Libya’s promised spring turned into a destructive autumn during which Gaddafi was murdered on 20 October, 2011, and Libya was ...

Libya: New War Has Begun

Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr One week ago, the residents of Tripoli took to the streets protesting the Government of National Accord headed up by Fayez al-Sarraj. The crowds were angry because only those at the top of the Sarraj government have enriched themselves becoming billionaires and siphoning off much needed oil revenues. The people are hungry, and utilities have been problematic. Sources have indicated that Sarraj has removed billions from Libya and not only financed the Muslim Brotherhood but has deposited large amounts into his various bank accounts across Europe. Sarraj made a series of missteps that have caused even the United Nations to sit up and take notice. Sarraj terminated his Interior Minister then pushed terrorists to occupy key positions within the GNA. The fi...

Syrian and Libyan oil: Washington’s hand in the till

People across the middle east continue to suffer war and economic hardships as the price of living on top of coveted oil resources. Lalkar writers Despite the clear failure of the western-backed jihadi war of subversion against Syria to impose a change of leadership, thanks to the courageous resistance of the Syrian Arab Army and the fraternal assistance of Russia and Iran, imperialism continues in its efforts to strangle the country economically, so hampering the nation’s reconstruction. It does this in two ways: by the imposition of sanctions, and by obstructing government access to the nation’s oil wealth, concentrated primarily in the north-east of the country. Daylight robbery in Syria Imperialism’s chosen guard dogs in t...

US confused policy on Libya encourages Turkey

By: Mona El-Mahrouki Washington has kept a perplexing silence about Ankara’s transfer of thousands of militants from Idlib. TUNIS –Ankara is taking advantage of the US’s confused policy in Libya and President Donald Trump’s preoccupation with the volatile situation in the US since the killing of an African-American citizen by a white policeman to torpedo international efforts to stop the fighting in Libya, which are seen by many as the last chance to prevent the conflict from slipping into a new phase that could lead to greater Russian intervention and ultimately the “Syrianisation” of the conflict. On Wednesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced his country’s rejection of the Egyptian initiative to solve the Libyan crisis, describing it as an attempt to save Li...

Tripoli government seeks to disrupt French-Russian coordination on Libya

GNA’s disinformation campaign focused mainly on Wagner Group mercenaries. French President Emmanuel Macron talks to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a video conference Friday, June 26, at the Elysee Palace in Paris. (AP) TUNIS –In anticipation of the talks focused on the situation in Libya held Friday by Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron, the Islamist Tripoli government (GNA) launched a disinformation campaign focused mainly on the mercenaries of the Wagner Group, who had been out of the spotlight in the past days. The Islamists returned to waiving the card of the Russian mercenaries on Friday, with the Libyan National Oil Corporation joining in the propaganda campaign exaggerating the Russian role in Libya, a campaign instigated by the ...

France leads European-Arab drive to counter Turkey’s ambitions in Libya

Paris saw Ankara’s strategy as clashing with France’s interests in Libya and its vision for the whole region. French President Emmanuel Macron speaks to the press, June 30, 2020, in Nouakchott. (AP) PARIS – A European-Arab coalition led by France to counter Turkey’s ambitions in Libya has begun to take shape, after Ankara’s defiance has reached the point of tampering with regional and European security by sending over to Libya thousands of Syrian mercenaries that include extremists from al-Nusra Front and ISIS, experts say. Faced with Ankara’s growing aggressive posture in the pursuit of its goal of assuming control of Libya’s resources and taking advantage of its strategic location, France has moved at a feverish pace to thwart Turkish ambitions. Paris saw Ankara’s strategy...

Libya: Needs new ballot box legitimacy

Tebboune echoes Tunisian, Egyptian calls for elections in Libya. A file picture of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune. (AFP) TUNIS – Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune said on Saturday that Libyan rivals must organise elections through transitional authorities as a political solution to the ongoing conflict. Tebboune’s statement implicitly reinforces an emerging regional consensus about the expired legitimacy of Tripoli’s Government of National Accord (GNA), a feeling that also seems to be shared by Paris. Speaking to France 24, Tebboune said that “we need to consult with the Libyan people through its institutions,” including tribal authorities and others, and hold elections. “The current government is one of these institutions, but things have bypassed it. We need in...

Turkish expansionism in Libya leads to Algerian-French rapprochement

Algiers seeking broader international support for mediation efforts.

(AFP) ALGIERS--Frequent contacts between Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron are signalling closer coordination between the two countries about issues in the region, especially those related to the Sahel-Saharan region and Libya. This comes at a time when the Algerian mediation to find a solution to the Libyan file seems to be in need of broader support in order to bypass the confines of political contention. The diplomatic and political rapprochement between Algeria and France was boosted by rece...
