Bodies and Blood in Libya

by | May 8, 2019

The US and it’s allies unleashed this hell on the people of Libya.

“Every night we are under air strikes,” says Ali breathlessly.

He is a 22-year-old fighter from the coastal town of Zawiyah, and part of the loose military coalition from across western Libya that has united to defeat an offensive by eastern commander Khalifa Haftar.

That morning, as they pushed their opponents back, Ali says, they found corpses of sub-Saharan migrants on a farm, and encountered wounded residents who had refused to flee their homes, along with burning buildings.

‘We wish the war was over so we can live in peace’

“They are using everything on us,” he tells Middle East Eye, as the wreckage of a plastics factory smoulders behind him.

In a speech given by President Obama in March 2011 he names the guilty parties:

“In this effort, the United States has not acted alone. Instead, we have been joined by a strong and growing coalition. This includes our closest allies -– nations like the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Turkey –- all of whom have fought by our sides for decades.  And it includes Arab partners like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, who have chosen to meet their responsibilities to defend the Libyan people.”
