GADDAFI AND THE WESTERN POWERS
Frei Betto*
The Western powers led by the USA vociferously defend human rights in Libya. What about the genocidal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan? Who tolls the bells for the million dead in Iraq? Who takes confessed assassins in Afghanistan, responsible for crimes against humanity, to the UN International Court of Justice? Why does the UN Security Council not say a word against the massacres practised against the peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine?
Defending human rights in Libya is not what interests the USA or the European Union. They are interested in the control of a region which produces 1.7 million barrels of oil daily on which countries such as Italy, Portugal, Austria and Ireland depend for their energy.
Iraq is a case in point: the USA invented Saddam Hussein’s never to be found “weapons of mass destruction” in order to control a country which is the second largest oil producer in the world – 2.11 million barrels a day only surpassed by Saudi Arabia. It possesses a reserve calculated at 115 billion barrels. Add to this wealth the fact that it occupies a strategic geographical position bordering Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria and Turkey.
March 20 2011 will be eight years since the USA and partners invaded Iraq under the pretext of “establishing democracy”. Malik’s government is far from what could be considered a democracy. Last February thousands of Iraqis took to the streets demanding work, bread, electricity and drinking water. The army brutally repressed them, killing some. arbitrarily detaining others and abducting activists. No world power clamoured for human rights nor did they suggest that Malik be questioned by international courts.
Sadly, the UN today is a discredited institution. The US use it in order to approve resolutions which justify their role as the global police force at the service of a system which is unjust and excluding. When the UN approve resolutions contrary to White House policy – such as the condemnation of the Cuban blockade or the oppression of the Palestinians – the latter turns a deaf ear.
Gaddafi has been in power since 1969, a dictatorship of 42 years. Why have the US and the European Union never considered overthrowing him? Because, in spite of his terrorist assaults, it was convenient to keep a despot there as he attracted foreign investment and impeded the emigration to Europe of illegal immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa i.e. all countries south of the Sahara desert.
Now that the Libyan people clamour for freedom, the USA take up strategic positions in the Mediterranean. Amphibious craft, aircraft and helicopters are transported by warships US Ponce and US Kearsarge. The European Union on the other hand are not concerned about democracy in Libya but about avoiding millions of refugees from landing on the shores of their countries which are weakened by the financial crisis.
They also fear that the freedom wave devastating the oil producing Arab countries will raise the price of the product and place an even greater onus on the western powers who struggle with difficulty to overcome the crisis in the capitalist system
There is talk of establishing a “no-fly exclusion zone” in Libya. This means bombarding airports in the country and all aircraft stationed there. It demands the sending of aircraft carriers to the African coast. In other words: a new war front.
The fact is that the White House was surprised by the freedom movement in the Arab world and now doesn’t know how to proceed. It was more comfortable to continue to support authoritarian regimes in exchange of sources of energy such as gas and oil. But how to oppose the clamour for democracy and avoid the risk of the governments of those countries to fall into the hands of fundamentalists?
Gaddafi rose to power with ample popular support when he overturned the tyrannical regime of King Idris in 1969. Bitten by the blue fly, he soon forgot all the promises of freedom he had made. In 1974, taking advantage of the world recession, he threw out western companies, expropriated foreign property and promoted a series of progressive reforms which improved the Libyans’ quality of life.
With the end of the Soviet Union and since 1993, Gaddafi welcomed foreign investment. After the fall of Saddam, fearing he might be next, he signed agreements to eradicate weapons of mass destruction and compensated victims of his terrorist attacks. He became a fierce hunter of Osama Bin Laden. He requested entry into the IMF, created special zones for free trade, opened the country to trans national oil companies and eliminated subsidies for basic food products. He started a process for the privatisation of the economy increasing unemployment by almost 30% and increasing social inequality.
Gaddafi merited praise from Tony Blair, Berlusconi, Sarkozy and Zapatero. Similarly to the Eastern powers, he wasn’t happy with the overturn of the tyrannical governments of Tunisia and Egypt. Now he fires against a disarmed population which aspires to oust him from power.
For Eastern powers, Gaddafi has become expendable. The problem now is how to actually get rid of him without opening a new war front, turning Libya into a “protectorate” controlled by the White House. If Gaddafi resists, Bin Laden could gain one more ally or at most a competitor in matters of terrorist threats.
The West talks about democracy. The interest is oil. For capitalism all that matters is: privatising sources of wealth. While the logic of capital predominates over the logic of freedom the West will never recognise true democracies, those where the majority of the people decide the destiny of their own country.
„As potências ocidentais, lideradas pelos EUA, botam a boca no trombone em defesa dos direitos humanos na Líbia. E as ocupações genocidas do Iraque e do Afeganistão? Quem dobra os sinos por um milhão de mortos no Iraque? Quem conduz à Corte Internacional de Justiça da ONU os assassinos confessos no Afeganistão, os responsáveis por crimes de lesa-humanidade? Por que o Conselho de Segurança da ONU não diz uma palavra contra os massacres praticados contra os povos iraquiano, afegão e palestino?
http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/09/libyen-oel
O interesse dos EUA e da União Europeia não é a defesa dos direitos humanos na Líbia. É assegurar o controle de um território que produz 1,7 milhão de barris de petróleo por dia, dos quais depende a energia de países como Itália, Portugal, Áustria e Irlanda.“
Frei Betto erklärte gegenüber der Website wörtlich:“Es war zumindest takt-und geschmacklos, den Krieg gegen Libyen hier in Brasilien zu erklären, das gegen eine solche kriegerische Aggression ist.“
Auf dem UNO-Index für menschliche Entwicklung liegt Libyen auf dem 53. Platz, der Iran auf dem 70. und Brasilien abgeschlagen auf dem 73. Platz.

Positionen aus den katholischen Informationsmedien Brasiliens:
„Paz e Bem!
Nós Discípulos do Cristo temos que nos manter fiéis à UTOPIA do Reino de Deus e sua Justiça num momento em que grande parte da Mídia quer nos encurralar no dilema:
„Ou apóia a intervenção militar da França, Inglaterra, USA et caterva ou apóia a cruel Ditadura de Kadafi!“
Nem uma, nem outra!
Diante de um regime autoritário e violento a solução não é uma violência maior, mas a força da não-violência ativa!
Enfrentamos e vencemos no Brasil uma Ditadura (1964-1985) de 21 anos. Também no Uruguai, Argentina, Chile e Paraguai.
Estamos agora empenhados em construir a Democracia.
A ditadura se implantou e tentou se impor pela violência das armas. Foi vencida e a democracia está sendo construida pela força popular, sem violência! Estamos irmanados e solidários com o Povo Líbio no seu esforço de vencer uma ditadura e construir uma democracia, mas sem a violência das armas que muito interessa à globalizada Indústria Bélica. Acertadamente diz a sabedoria africana: „QUANDO OS ELEFANTES BRIGAM A GRAMA SAI AMASSADA!“
A UTOPIA do Reino, que norteia o horizonte do Ser e Fazer dos Discípulos do Cristo, é muito clara:
„Não matarás!“ (Gênesis,4 – história de Caim e Abel)
„Amai os vossos inimigos; fazei o bem aos que vos odeiam e orai pelos que vos perseguem e caluniam, a fim de serdes filhos do vosso Pai que está nos céus e que faz se levante o Sol para os bons e para os maus e que chova sobre os justos e os injustos. – Porque, se só amardes os que vos amam, qual será a vossa recompensa? Não procedem assim também os publicanos? Se apenas os vossos irmãos saudardes, que é o que com isso fazeis mais do que os outros? Não fazem outro tanto os pagãos?“ (S. MATEUS, cap. V, vv. 43 a 47.)
Por isso a guerra, seja qual for até mesmo as Cruzadas, não cabem na pauta do Cristo e seus Discípulos. Exército, Marinha, Aeronáutica e todo o aparato das Forças Armadas, inclusive as Capelanias Militares, não seguem o Espírito daquele que ressucitou Jesus dentre os mortos.
Ele disse:
“ Eu sou o Caminho, a Verdade e a Vida!“(João 14,6)
“ Deixo-vos a paz; dou-vos a minha paz. Não vo-la dou como o mundo a dá … “ (João 14,27)
Com Francisco de Assis rezemos;
„Senhor, fazei de nós um instrumento de vossa Paz!“
Frei Alamiro
Declaración de condena ¡El imperialismo ha empezado una nueva guerra! El Consejo Mundial por la Paz expresa su vehemente y fuerte condena a la agresión imperialista que ha empezado contra Libia. La completa escalada militar de operaciones de Francia, el Reino Unido y EE.UU. con el apoyo de la Liga árabe y varios estados de la Unión Europea y la OTAN, prueba que la agresión había sido planeada muchos días atrás. Los imperialistas están usando el pretexto de la intervención humanitaria y la protección a los civiles, con el objetivo claro de tomar el control de los recursos energéticos e imponer un nuevo régimen amistoso a sus intereses. Mientras antes había condenado el uso de la fuerza militar por el ejército Libio contra los protestantes civiles, el Consejo Mundial por la Paz (CMP) reitera que es solo un derecho soberano del pueblo Libio elegir a su gobierno y sus recursos naturales que son el blanco real de los poderes de las trasnacionales y Corporaciones Multinacionales imperialistas que están detrás de todo esto. Han matado cientos de libios y la matanza del pueblo libio por los imperialistas continúa en su tercer día. El desarrollo prueba claramente que la decisión del Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas mediante resolución No 1973 de imponer una Zona de Exclusión de vuelo sobre el espacio aéreo Libio simplemente fue usado para empezar una guerra contra Libia. La propia ONU está cometiendo crímenes contra los pueblos de Afganistan, Iraq y muchos otros Exigimos el fin inmediato de la agresión y la retirada de las fuerzas militares extranjeras del área. ¡Detener la guerra ahora en Libia! El 20 de marzo, 2011 Secretaría del WPC, -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Statement of condemnation Imperialism has started a new war! The World Peace Council expresses its vehement and strong condemnation to the imperialist aggression which has started against Libya. The full scale military operations of France, the UK and USA with the support of the Arab League and several EU and NATO States, prove that the aggression was planned already for many days. The imperialists are using the pretext of the humanitarian intervention and the protection of civilians, with the clear aim of taking control of the energy resources and imposition of a new friendly regime. While having condemned the use of military force by the Libyan military against civilian protesters before, the WPC reiterates that it is the sole and sovereign right of the Libyan people to decide upon their government and upon their natural resources, which are the real target of the imperialist powers and the Multinational corporations behind.
Thousands of Libyans have been killed already and the massacre of the Libyan people by the imperialists is going on for the third day.
The developments prove clearly that the decision of UN Security Council 1973 to impose a Non- Fly Zone over the Libyan airspace was just used in order to start a war against Libya. The UN is making itself once more guilty of an imperialist aggression as it was in the case of the crimes against the peoples of Afghanistan, Iraq and so many others.
We demand the immediate end of the aggression and the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the area.
Stop the war on Libya now!
March 20, 2011 Secretariat of the WPC “

GRUPO TORTURA NUNCA MAIS DE SÃO PAULO
R. Frei Caneca, 986 – São Paulo – SP
NOTA DE PROTESTO
O Grupo Tortura Nunca Mais de São Paulo soma-se aos inúmeros protestos de todo o Brasil contra a violência policial carioca e a prisão das pessoas que foram às ruas se manifestar contra as posições do governo norte-americano, aproveitando a visita do presidente Barak Obama ao nosso país. Eles pediam liberdade para os presos de Guantanamo e a retirada das tropas do Afeganistão e do Iraque, no que somos inteiramente solidários. Exigimos sua soltura imediata, na medida em que as prisões podem ser consideradas políticas e ferem o direito à liberdade de opinião e expressão, garantido na Constituição.
Protestamos também contra o ataque, autorizado pela ONU, de mísseis a Trípoli, capital da Líbia, lançados de navios americanos e ingleses que, em apenas algumas horas, matou dezenas de pessoas.
Vatikanradio, Bischof Martinelli über Morde an Zivilisten:”Allein in Tripolis habe es in den letzten Tagen nach seinen Informationen mindestens vierzig zivile Todesopfer durch die alliierten Bomber gegeben, so Bischof Martinelli. Im Stadtviertel Buslim sei wegen der Bombardements ein Wohnhaus eingestürzt.”
O povo líbio neste momento trava uma dura batalha interna para decidir seu destino e já padece de grande sofrimento. Infelizmente a decisão de atacar a Líbia foi tomada durante o primeiro dia de visita do governante americano ao Brasil. Nosso país, no nosso ponto-de-vista corretamente, se absteve de votar na ONU por qualquer sanção ou ataque à Líbia.
Não queremos a guerra nem o banho de sangue em parte alguma do mundo. Reafirmamos nossa posição a favor da vida e do respeito integral aos Direitos Humanos.
Pela soltura imediata dos presos do Rio de Janeiro
Pelo cessar-fogo interno e externo na Líbia
Pela soberania e autodeterminação dos povos
