The
killing of two dignitaries of the Beni Oualid clan last Friday was in
addition to the deadly fighting that rival groups have held for two
weeks at Sabratha, killing 26 and injuring 170 others. Facts of concern for Algeria and other neighboring countries.
Since the beginning of 2016, the migratory crisis has exploded and, with it, the fear of terrorism. An obsession that the successive events in France, Belgium and Germany have unfortunately underpinned. It should be remembered that at the time Interpol announced that Daesh had 250,000 Syrian and Iraqi virgin passports, and that, according to Europol, 3,000 to 5,000 were to integrate the migrant cohorts at the gates 'Europe. From there to openly amalgamate the migratory flows and the terrorist threat, there was only one step, happily crossed by some EU countries that did not digest the rider alone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel when she "invited one million Syrians, overcoming the Schengen visa. The fact is that the phenomenon has reached such a magnitude and that the flow has concentrated in neighboring Libya, where traffic has become a very lucrative activity, to the point of arousing a strong reaction from the GNA of Fayez al Serraj but also from the authorities from the east. The strong recrudescence of immigrant candidates, after having swept across the Greek and Bulgarian borders, turned to the Italian coasts via Libya, to the extent that Rome has multiplied the grievances and pressures to obtain a "right of Libyan territorial waters. In 2016, Frontex planned to double the number of migrants (Sudanese, Eritreans, Malians and Somalis) from the Libyan coast to the European coasts, ie 300,000. Around 800,000 were already waiting in Libya, a number that adds to the 6 million displaced Syrians.In 2017, the victories over Daesh, both in Iraq and Syria, as well as in Sirte and Sabratha in Libya, triggered an ebbing of its fighters towards their country of origin but also towards Europe. This prompted the Berne Club (alliance of European intelligence) to warn against simultaneous attacks in several European capitals. As early as January 2017, Italy had put pressure on the GNA and on the authorities in the East to control severely the large-scale traffic that had developed, mainly in Sabratha, where most of the boats of migrants. Haftar who visited Rome last week, after an official visit to Tunis, handed over to the Italian Minister of Defense a list of war material (4x4, night vision sights, helicopters, etc.) to accomplish the task of surveillance of the South Libyan but it obtained only the assurance of a training of a few dozen elements to the requirements of security.It turns out that the war against the smuggling of migrants made Friday two victims, dignitaries belonging to one of the major clans of the country. On a mission of good offices to appease tensions between rival gangs, according to tribes of the region, they were machine-gunned on their return to Beni Oualid, 180 km south of Tripoli. The social council of the tribes of Ouarfella denounced the assassination of "Sheikh Abdallah Nattat, head of the reconciliation committee, Sheikh Khamis Isbaga and their two accompanying persons", followed immediately by the GNA who opened an inquiry and by the Parliament sitting in Tobruk. The killing of the two dignitaries took place at a time when deadly fights were rivaling rival groups in Sabratha, leaving 26 dead and 170 wounded. Algeria and other neighboring countries are worrying facts. It is clear that the situation remains complex enough to suggest that the solution would be within reach. The double journey made in April-May by Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel in the majority of cities was a necessary time in the mediation strategy led by the UN and the Group of Neighboring Countries. While Daesh was driven out of several cities such as Sirte and Sabratha, the fact remains that the smuggling of migrants, now fought by the GNA and the Eastern authorities, served as a breeding matrix for terrorism at multiple faces whose aims concern our country. Consequently, incessant diplomatic work cannot be seen as an ostentatious luxury because the stakes are paramount for the peace and security of the subregion. The meeting in Tunis last Tuesday of representatives of the Libyan rival parties has identified the complexity of the task, with the declared aim of reaching a "limited" amendment to the 2015 agreement to calm Marshal Haftar's ardor, Saleh Aguila, President of the House of Representatives and Abderrahmane Sweihli, President of the State Council, while maintaining a "legitimacy" of the GNA supported by the militias of Tripoli including those of Haythem Tajouri and Abderaouf Kara. A long-term effort is therefore still needed for a political solution to be reached, an objective that Algeria is pursuing, against all odds, while providing unbiased support to all the parties involved in the inclusive dialogue , the only possible source of peace for the Libyan people.

LIBYA HAD AN EXCELLENT CONSTITUTION IN 1951. SMALL MODIFICATIONS AND UPDATES MAYBE NECESSARY. THAT IS ALL.
