Frankenstein created by the US and allies

LIBYA is back in the news again. Us-led Nato aggression destroyed Libya, transforming Africa’s most developed nation into a cauldron of endless violence and human misery.

Obama administration officials called the international effort, accomplished with no Western casualties, a “model intervention.”

In the past few years Libya has turned into the place US officials most fear: a lawless land that attracts terrorists, pumps out illegal arms and drugs and destabilises its neighbours.

The actions in Libya were part of an ill-conceived intervention.

The invasion of Iraq, the military intervention in Libya, or the support of radical rebel groups in Syria, have led to chaos. The US government and its allies have allowed a Frankenstein to be created.

The international community just let go after 2011. This allowed many countries to intervene and led Libya to where it is today. MAHMOUD RANGILA | Isipingo Hills
