La situation se dégrade dangereusement en Libye. Le président tunisien Moncef Marzouki a tenté d’engager une démarche maghrébine volontariste commune pour y faire face, mais la situation ne semble pas encore mûre.

On June 2, the Qatari-owned Al-Quds al-Arabi daily carried the following lead editorial: “In an interview published yesterday, “retired” Libyan General Khalifa Haftar said he supported “any military strike that would secure Egypt’s border, even if it is carried out inside Libya,” in a direct call to the Egyptian government to militarily intervene in his country. The geographic map proposed by Haftar extends from “Darna, Benghazi, Ajdabia, Sert and Tripoli” to the Algerian border, in what appeared to be a green light to occupy the Libyan territories from the east to the west, under the pretext that the ruling authorities in Tripoli were unable to secure the border. Now the first question that comes to mind in the face of Haftar’s controversial statement is the following: Since you volunteered to lead “Operation Dignity” against the so-called “diseased” groups among the Takfiris and terrorists throughout Libya, what is keeping you from protectin g the border?

Oltre 3300 persone in arrivo in diversi porti della Sicilia. Come ampiamente prevedibile, non appena in Libia si riaprono le strade ed ai chek-point non si spara più, riprendono le partenze dei profughi intrappolati in quel paese, tutti potenziali richiedenti asilo, con numerose donne e bambini, soprattutto siriani. Gli ultimi salvataggi sono avvenuti nei pressi delle piattaforme petrolifere offshore di Bouri Field, dove il 12 maggio si inabissò una imbarcazione con numerosi migranti che risultano ancora dispersi. Tra gli altri mezzi che hanno operato nell’azione SAR ( ricerca e salvataggio) è intervenuto il rimorchiatore di servizio a quelle piattaforme, ma i soccorsi sono stati più rapidi che in passato, ed anche se diversi migranti sono finiti in mare, non sembra che ci siano state altre vittime. Questa volta le navi di Mare Nostrum hanno operato più asud , come hanno fatto per tutto l’inverno, ma 70-80 miglia dalle coste libiche è intervenuto il rimorchiatore ASSO Venticinque. Una posizione da presidiare per garantire maggiori possibilità di sopravvivenza a chi è costretto a fuggire dalla Libia per le persecuzioni quotidiane a cui è sottoposto. Non lo scrive nessuno, ma tutte le donne e la maggior parte dei minori che sono raccolti in mare subiscono in Libia abusi quotidiani, lo raccontano in tanti quando si riesce a costruire un rapporto di fiducia, lontano dagli interrogatori di polizia che purtroppo continuano ad avvenire anche a bordo delle navi, e chiunque parla di blocco delle partenze si rende complice di stupri ed uccisioni.

There has been a significant rise in the numbers of migrants reaching Europe in recent months, the BBC has learned.
The number of people attempting the dangerous sea crossing from North Africa to Italy has risen sharply, says to Frontex, the EU border agency. From January to April, 42,000 migrants were detected on these routes, with 25,650 of these crossing from Libya. Combined with seven other less busy routes, the total figure for this year is probably now about 60,000. On Wednesday, the Italian government said the number of migrants reaching its shores had soared to more than 39,000. The total for 2014 so far is more than the equivalent period in 2011, the year of the Arab Spring, which eventually saw the arrival of 140,000 illegal migrants.

Der Putschversuch der Haftar-Milizen scheint in den vergangenen Tagen keinen schnellen Erfolg zu zeitigen. Demzufolge steigt die militärische Interventionsgefahr durch US- und ägptisches Militär zugunsten von Haftar. Die EU verhält sich bislang zurückhaltend und fordert einen nationalen Dialog zwischen Rest-Regierung und untereinander verfeindeten Milizen.

Oil prices were also supported by new supply disruptions in Libya. Protesters shut the headquarters of the company running the Brega oil port, the only eastern port to have remained open throughout most of the nine month stand-off with a rebel group, state news agency Lana said on Thursday.
Libya’s oil output was about 230,000 barrels a day on Wednesday, but the exact production level remained unclear on Friday. […]“
