Preparing for a new war

by Thierry Meyssan

Preparing for a new war

Damascus (Syria) | 7 January 2020
The arrival of new weapons and fighters in Libya heralds a new war against the population. In reality, the situation has never calmed down since the attack by NATO in accordance with the Rumsfelf/Cebrowski strategy of endless war. By taking a further step, the protagonists will not solve anything, but will extend the conflict zone.

Jihadi exodus from Syria to Libya is underway

Jihadi exodus from Syria to Libya is underway

31 December 2019
In accordance with the agreement closed between the Tunisian and Turkish presidents, Kaïs Saïed and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on Christmas Day, the migration of jihadists from Syria via Tunisia to Libya has begun.
The pendulum has swung back, when considering that the Free Syrian Army was created by the jihadists of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), who had joined the ranks of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, then served as NATO’s footsoldiers in Libya.
According to Middle East Eye, the Sultan (...)

Fake wars and big lies (11/25)

The Two Frances

by Thierry Meyssan

The Two Frances

Damascus (Syria) | 30 December 2019
We continue the episodic publication of Thierry Meyssan’s book, Before Our Eyes. In this episode, France appears divided: on the one hand, the President plays into the hands of the Anglo-Saxons and his Gaullist rival into the hands of Qatar, while two very right-wing ministers rely on former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmoudi to defend the Libyan people. In this moment of truth, each actor must position himself with fear in his stomach. Few will remain true to themselves.

Turkey negotiating mass transfer of jihadists towards Libya

Turkey negotiating mass transfer of jihadists towards Libya

27 December 2019
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has entered into a military alliance with the Libyan "government of national accord" (GNA), chaired by Fayez Al-Sarraj, based in Tripoli and backed by the United Nations. Erdoğan has already arranged for the delivery of armored vehicles and drones, but has yet to deploy regular troops.
In Ankara, the Grand National Assembly is expected imminently to authorize the Turkish army to send regular soldiers to Libya.
At the same time, however, the Turkish (...)

On 22 December 2019, Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, Conservative lawyer Nikos Dendias, travelled to Benghazi to meet the ministers designated by the Tobruk House of Representatives and their military leader, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. He then moved on to Cairo and Cyprus.

Libya's UN-backed government calls for help

24 December 2019
President Erdoğan received President Al-Sarraj at the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul on 15 December 2019, upsetting the balance of forces in Libya.
Pursuant to the initial plans drawn up by the Pentagon and unveiled by the New York Times, there are currently three rival governments in Libya (Rumsfeld / Cebrowski strategy) . All three are supported militarily by the United States to keep them fighting against each other.
One of them has received the endorsement of the United Nations under (...)

Fake wars and big lies (9/25)

France Manipulated

by Thierry Meyssan

France Manipulated

Damascus (Syria) | 11 December 2019
We are continuing the publication of Thierry Meyssan’s book, “Before Our Very Eyes, Fake Wars and Big Lies”. In this episode, the author shows that post-colonial France was recruited by the United Kingdom and the United States to join the wars against Libya and Syria, without both powers informing her about their "Arab Spring" project. The French leaders, caught up in the misappropriation of funds, saw nothing coming. When they realized that they were being kept out of the planning process, their reaction was purely communicative: they tried to appear as the admirals of the operation, without worrying about the consequences of their partners’ actions.

In Libya, Turkish army and Misrata militia perpetrate atrocities against Field Marshal Haftar loyalists

In Libya, Turkish army and Misrata militia perpetrate atrocities against Field Marshal Haftar loyalists

1 July 2019
The Turkish army organized the transfer of jihadists from Syria to Libya, followed by military advisers and equipment, including armored vehicles and drones.
Furthermore, it supervised the attacks carried out by the militia attached to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord led by Fayez el-Sarraj, that is to say the government approved by the United Nations.
The GNA relies on the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar and Turkey, which in 2011 placed at NATO’s disposal the militia from (...)

The Economic Summit of the Arab League and the case of Moussa Sadr

12 January 2019
The Economic Summit of the Arab League was due to be held in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on 19 and 20 January. However at least two issues raise doubts whether it will go ahead:
First, there is an intense battle between the member states of the Arab League on the convenience of the Syrian Arab Republic becoming a member again;
Second, the Lebanese Party Amal, established during the Lebanese Civil War by Iranian Imam Moussa Sadr, is opposed to a Lebanese delegation attending the (...)

The destroyers of Libya are now « for Libya »

The destroyers of Libya are now « for Libya »

Rome (Italy) | 14 November 2018
After Emmanuel Macron’s failure to solve the Libyan crisis, it’s now Giuseppe Conte’s turn to take a shot at it. It’s true that Rome is better placed than Paris, insofar as it enjoys the support of the White House. However, there is little chance that any progress of any sort will be made, since these « fairy godmothers » are in fact the big bad wolves who recently devoured Libya.

A sovereignist Italy without sovereignty

Rome (Italy) | 5 September 2018
Far from leading the sovereignist policy that it claims to honour, the Conte government has engaged in Libya under US command. True sovereignty is not measured by speeches, but by actions, particularly in the respect of one’s own Constitution.

Western Consensus on the absence of consensus in Libya

4 September 2018
The Assembly of the Libyan tribes has refused any foreign aid as a matter of principle. It has decided that it is only through its own efforts that Libya will be liberated from the suffocating stranglehold of the jihadists that have carved up Libyan territory. Battles are already underway in Tripoli.
The United States had entrusted France with the task of re-establishing a colonial order in Libya. However in August, the United States revoked France’s mandate, preferring instead to allow (...)

Trump backs Italy against France in Libya

7 August 2018
On 21 July 2018, US President Donald Trump received the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, publicly confirming that he acknowledged Italy’s pre-eminence in Libya.
By doing so, the White House undermined France’s efforts to appropriate Libyan oil.
During the war that the Obama Administration brought into motion against Libya, Silvio Berlusconi (Italy’s Prime Minister at the time), was the only Western leader that tried to defend the Libyan Guide Muammar al-Gaddafi. However, the Italian (...)

Libya’s funding of Sarkozy’s 2007 electoral campaign. Shining the spotlight on this story to let others lapse into obscurity?

Libya's funding of Sarkozy's 2007 electoral campaign. Shining the spotlight on this story to let others lapse into obscurity?

25 June 2018
The French Press has just discovered why the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya funded Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidential electoral campaign in 2007. Sarkozy had given his word to getting the French Courts to overrule the sentence imposed on the Head of the Libyan Secret Services (Abdallah Senussi, brother-in-law of Muammar Gadaffi) to life imprisonment.
During the war with Chad, in 1989, Senussi had organized the attack on the TWA flight DC-10. Result: 171 dead. Senussi did not deny the facts, but (...)

Libya according to the UN and the harsh reality

Libya according to the UN and the harsh reality

Damascus (Syria) | 5 June 2018
Despite the good will of some of the participants, the Paris conference for Libya did not have the desired effects. For Thierry Meyssan, this can be explained by the double language of NATO and the United Nations, who are pretending to want to stabilise the country while their actions in fact continue the Cebrowski plan for the destruction of state structures. The spectacle in Paris was steeped in a profound ignorance of the particularities of Libyan society.

Libya, seven years of misfortune Nato

by Manlio Dinucci

Libya, seven years of misfortune Nato

Rome (Italy) | 24 March 2018
Seven years after NATO’s military intervention against Libya, all observers agree that it was based on a pack of lies and violated the mandate of the Security Council. Although the Western powers are now prepared to recognise that the population of Libya was the richest in Africa, and that its standard of living collapsed, provoking a massive exile, they are not yet aware that Mouamar Kadhafi had eliminated slavery and racism in his country. By destroying the State, NATO deliberately opened the gates of Hell. Not only were the black immigrant workers persecuted, but also the black Libyan citizens of Tawergha. Besides this, the Jamahiriya’s work of African cooperation between Arabs and blacks was reduced to nothing over the whole continent.

Saïf el-Islam Gaddafi will stand for the presidential election organized by the United Nations in Libya, scheduled for mid-2018. So announced his family’s spokesperson, Bassem al-Hashimi al-Soul to Egypt Today.
The son of Muyammar Gaddafi, who had played an eminent role on the side of his father, is by far the most legitimate leader in a Libya which has been delivered to chaos. He should soon make public his programme for his country.

Memorandum on Libya: Fabrications against the State, Leadership and Army

Tripoli (Libya) | 28 October 2017
This memorandum aimed to pinpoint some of facts that the Libyan people were subjected to during the past six years where the most horrendous crimes were committed against its people. These crimes were committed under the name of human intervention, protection of civilians, introducing democracy and prosperity where the NATO forces, with the help of some Arab countries and a few Libyans, attacked Libya with all weapons under its disposal. The justifications put forward were as false as the (...)

Macron-Libya: the Rothschild Connection

Rome (Italy) | 1 August 2017
“What is happening today in Libya is the nub of a destabilization programme holding a myriad of complexities”. So declared President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee, as he concluded an agreement that “paves the way for peace and national reconciliation”.
Macron’s message is that terrorist movements are the single cause for the chaos in which Libya now finds itself; terrorist movements that “exploit the political instability and the economic and financial resources that may exist in Libya to allow (...)

Egypt supports the Iraqi, Libyan and Syrian armies

On November 23, 2016, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi speaking at the RTP Portuguese TV channel said: "There should be international support for the national armies of Libya, Iraq and Syria, to ensure the security of their countries."
President el-Sissi thus broke a hitherto well-kept secret: Egypt dispatched weapons to the loyalist forces of these three countries despite the Saudi threats.
On October 8, Egypt voted, at the Security Council, in favor of a Russian motion for a (...)

H.E. Ban Ki Moon
Secretary General of the UN
New York
Excellency,
Further to my letter of 7 July 2016, I would like to draw your attention that the premature and unjustifiable recognition by the UN Security Council in its resolution 2259 (2015) of the Government of National Accord, before it is constituted and approved, does not give the right to the UN Secretariat to violate the Libyan Constitution and the Charter of the UN, by imposing a group of (...)

Rome (Italy) | 20 April 2016
First published February 18, 2015
War that burns up Libya claims an ever-increasing number of victims not only on the ground but also at sea: many of the desperate, that try to cross the Mediterranean, drown. «From the depths of the sea they ask us what has become of our humanity.», writes Pier Luigi Bersani. First of all, he should ask himself what has become of his humanity and he should question his ethical and political judgment on 18 March 2011, when on the eve of the USA/NATO war (...)

Rome (Italy) | 20 April 2016
First published February 24, 2015
It is not true that the 2011 war caused the dissolution of the Libyan State. This is because, as the Emeritus President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano explained, intervening in the Senate: “I consider that, in the modern meaning of the expression, a State has never existed in Libya”. A few months ago, Libya had been defined as a “Failed State” (a category established by the “Peace Foundation” USA). But now it has to be reconsidered: «that it is (...)
