Hahahaha Arab Spring, now is it? So, …. what’s new? Why am I not surprised nor impressed by this? Could it be that I knew and expected this, let’s say.. A YEAR AGO? One year after the NATO intervention, Libya faces disintegration as the oil-rich eastern region seeks semi-autonomy. Libya seems to be on the verge of disintegration one year after the military intervention by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). In the first week of March, leaders from its oil-rich eastern region, which includes Benghazi, the focal point of the Western-backed rebellion that ousted Muammar Qaddafi, announced their intention to seek “semi-autonomy” from the central government. The meeting in Benghazi, where the decision was taken, was attended by major political leaders, military commanders and tribal leaders from the region. The new “semi-autonomous” region, Cyrenaica, will extend from the central coastal city of Sirte, Qaddafi’s hometown, to the country’s border with Egypt. According to energy experts, the area holds around two-thirds of the country’s oil reserves. However it’s not about Oil, politics, control and power … After all it’s only about the Libyan People, democracy, freedom and equality. *wink ;))
