Editorial Lucian magalie pons
To compose this article, intended to take stock of the Day February 25 in Libya, I noted and I taken by summarizing all the information that seemed to most significant among those were released by both the press and by radio and television all day long.
A slog you will agree (I hope no Roman brackets do dye my grievance to have associated the Roman word for that comparison and he would dare not drag me to court for "racial defamation", notice that I could maybe get away with a small fine, since among my ancestors are very authentic Roman and my name "pons" is of Latin origin, and that I can claim such lineage to establish my right to legitimately use the word "Roman", which characterizes my hard work)
Good "hay" personal considerations, are entering the heart of the matter:
The Day Thursday, February 25 Libya and the reactions in the world
Yesterday February 25, it was hoped a lot of pressure from the international community and Security Council of UN sanctions to finally know the concrete would be taken to reduce the system Gaddafi not to say Colonel Qaddafi himself, to stop the murderous repression it exerts on the Libyan people in search of freedom and claiming his departure.
But as you can see, communication, coordination and articulation of different international bodies called on to take sanctions against Qaddafi and his regime, obey different degrees of skill and hierarchy to reach a final joint agreement.
It is clear that the West, notably the EU, after having spent some time asking mostly about the economic consequences of the Libyan revolution has taken a firmer stance and radical ; following the speech by calling River Gaddafi international bodies including the UN to come together to enact sanctions Colonel Gaddafi cons, some even called for NATO or the International Court of Justice.
Furthermore while there is still eight days governments advised their nationals to limply in Libya to return to their countries of origin, measures were finally taken to repatriate them.
ooOoo
