Le quotidien londonien The Independent<\/em> publie une s\u00e9rie d’articles et de commentaires sur la situation en Libye, quatre mois apr\u00e8s la tonitruante lib\u00e9ration du pays par les forces des lib\u00e9rateurs, aid\u00e9es par les inspirateurs de la lib\u00e9ration que constitu\u00e8rent les forces de l’OTAN, tout cela couronn\u00e9 par l’esprit vigilant du lib\u00e9rateur-philosophe en chef de la lib\u00e9ration du monde. Dito<\/em>, BHL. Un pris sur le vif, tr\u00e8s vif, de notre monde postmoderniste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Un article de The Independent<\/em> du 24 novembre 2011<\/a> donne des informations diverses sur la situation humanitaire en Libye, sorties d’un rapport de l’ONU non encore rendu public et dont The Independent<\/em> a obtenu un exemplaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThousands of people, including women and children, are being illegally detained by rebel militias in Libya, according to a report by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Many of the prisoners are suffering torture and systematic mistreatment while being held in private jails outside the control of the country’s new government. The document, seen by The Independent, states that while political prisoners being held by the Gaddafi regime have been released, their places have been taken by up to 7,000 new enemies of the state, \u00ab\u00a0disappeared\u00a0\u00bb in a dysfunctional system, with no recourse to the law.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe report will come as uncomfortable reading for the Western governments, including Britain, which backed the campaign to oust Gaddafi. A UN resolution was secured in March in order to protect civilians from abuses by the regime, which was at the time mercilessly suppressing the uprising against the Gaddafi regime<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Patrick Cockburn, un des reporteurs vedettes de The Independent<\/em>, qui a notamment couvert les \u00e9v\u00e8nements de Libye, ajoute son commentaire \u00e0 ces r\u00e9v\u00e9lations extraites du document de l’ONU, \u00e9galement ce 24 novembre 2011<\/a>. Pour lui, ce ne fut nullement une insurrection de lib\u00e9ration contre Kadhafi, mais bien une guerre civile, qui se poursuit avec les r\u00e8glements de compte habituels, le d\u00e9sordre et l’anarchie, et, sans doute, d’autres affrontements \u00e0 venir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe detention of 7,000 people in prisons and camps by the anti-Gaddafi forces is not surprising. The conflict in Libya was always much more of a civil war between Libyans than foreign governments pretended or the foreign media reported. The winning anti-Gaddafi militia are not proving merciful. Often they have had relatives killed in the fighting or imprisoned by the old regime who they want to avenge. Sometimes they come from tribes and towns traditionally hostile to neighbouring tribes and towns. Gaddafi supporters are being hunted down. According to one person in Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte, they are facing a continuing reign of terror. There is a deep and spreading frenzy, particularly among some of the youth militia and the Islamists, to hunt down anyone associated with the former regime,\u00a0\u00bb the source said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe National Transitional Council, whose control is largely theoretical, is not in a position to stop this purge because many of its members are themselves frightened of being accused of links with the old regime.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe international media was overwhelmingly hostile to Gaddafi’s regime and tended to highlight atrocities committed by it and disregard or underplay human rights violations carried out by his opponents. An example of this occurred when eight or nine bodies of Libyan soldiers were found who appeared to have been executed. The rebels claimed they had been shot by Gaddafi’s men because they tried to change sides. But Amnesty located a film of the soldiers being captured alive by the rebels and it was presumably the rebels who killed them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
