A large delegation of Italian politicians of many parties captains by a former Premier and senator for life went to Libya to honour the leader of that country.
In the same day landed in Sicily more than a thousand refugees on boats from Libya.
May be it is a coincidence but one gets the impression that the Libyan leader takes stake in Italy.
The visit about a month ago in Libya by Italian Premier had said that the two main advantages for Italy were to ensure continuity of supplies of oil and commitment of that country to prevent the influx Italy of migrants from all over black Africa.
To achieve this, the Italian government has pledged to support significant costs (although diluted over time) for the construction of two thousand km. of highway between Tripoli and Benghazi. To curb illegal emigration, in addition, Italy has undertaken to provide facilities to install satellite surveillance to southern borders of the country. There will be also a joint patrol on the edge of Libyan territorial waters. Later it was stated that this monitoring would be carried out exclusively by Libyans on three patrol boats donated by Italy.
These resources are probably not yet been provided, but the Libyan leader continues to demonstrate that it would not move a finger to start to limit this phenomenon. Indeed one might suspect that the same use this weapon to keep pressure on our authorities and to understand who is commander in relations between the two countries.
If the situation does not improve soon, our Premier should explain on what guarantees were many burdensome commitments and what historical and diplomatic reason pushed Italian Government, unique in the world, to officially ask Libya to apologize for damage caused during the colonial period.
The Libyan leader, in contrast, did not even consider the request for compensation for property seized thousands of Italians expelled a few years ago. He knows he can handle from positions of strength because it has powerful weapons in his hands. In light of what is even more incomprehensible the tribute that many Italian politicians old and new have wanted tribute yesterday.
