Libya’s integrity will be defended by any means - even “with force” if needed - says Libyan “transitional” leader, Mustafa Abdel Jalil. His statement comes a day after the eastern tribal leaders declared autonomy for the region.
*Mustafa Abdel Jalil warned people of the East that the “remnants of Gaddafi regime” have infiltrated the Cyrenaica region in order to exploit its people and resources.
“We are ready to deter them, even with force,” AFP cited Jalil as saying at a conference in Misrata broadcast by local television. “We are not prepared to divide Libya.”
Earlier Jalil stressed that “some Arab countries” are involved in this “conspiracy against Libya and Libyans,” by supporting and encouraging such a division between the East and the West to happen.
On Tuesday, the cradle of the last year’s uprising against Gaddafi, Libya’s eastern Cyrenaica region with its center in Benghazi, declared semi-autonomy from the central government in the capital Tripoli. The gathering of the major tribal leaders and militia commanders decided that the new state, also known as Barqa, with its own parliament and police force, would run its affairs independently.
While the East is seeking administrative independence, basically pushing forward the idea of federalism, the West is promoting “decentralization,” though centered in Tripoli.
According to the national charter, which was presented on Wednesday, Libya is a parliamentary democracy with a decentralized system of administration. And Mustafa Abdel Jalil is eager to defend the principles of what he calls a “constitution for Libya's future.”[/release]

Libyan government not happy with people in the east who want to be separate? Anyone else see where this is going...
And so the expected instability begins.

It was seen from the start. The NTC was made up of various factions, and the infighting has already begun. Giant repeat of Afghani Civil War.
And this, gentlemen, is why the middle east cannot exist in peace. This part of the world has been on fire for the past three thousand years, and it will continue to be on fire for the next three thousand years.
The west needs to just stay away. Far, far, away.
Just let them have it.
Just avoid the bloodshed and let it go for once, world.
Let there be a new nation if the people want it.

What we need to do, is erect a giant wall around the place, kind of like Escape from New York.
The rules are simple, once you go in, you do not come out.

If you're going to make a ridiculous broad statement like that, at least land it on the right continent.

Anyone who took a basic geography class will know that North Africa is considered part of the Middle East region.
On topic, why not give then autonomy? They don't even need to give out right independence - just give them internal autonomy like Russia does with some of its regions.

I don't honestly care for 2004 political sloganeering by George W. Bush. Neither should you.

Geographically speaking its in Africa.
The rest of the world tends not to regroup the world based on how they view it.

Because Eastern Libya has all the oil.
Has everyone gone off their rocker. Saying comments like " the middle east will never have any peace" doesn't show anyt kind of knowledge in waht is happening over there. I can tell you that things weill change, I will admit that it will take time but like every country things will evanually get better.
