Storie di Mari e Migranti.
Quest’estate abbiamo scoperto una triste pagina della nostra politica estera. La pioggia di fuoco abbattutasi sul peschereccio italiano in acque internazionali proveniva da un’imbarcazione italiana , cioè pagata dal contribuente italiano , e con ben sei militi della nostra Guardia di Finanza che hanno fatto da spettatori immobili a un attacco armato da parte degli amici libici. Abbiamo scoperto, in sostanza, che noi italiani paghiamo degli stranieri che in un battello, anche quello comprato e regalato da us, shooting at Italian fishermen working! The first explanation given by the TG1 was as follows: Minister Frattini: "The Libyans have fired into the air but then they hit the Italians." Minister Maroni, however, said he would open an investigation and the results to date is not given to know. In my opinion, would it be reset and review all agreements with Libya from the Italians' right to fish in Libyan waters that are not. They were also borne by the taxpayers Italian escorts, the government paid 80 euro a head and decide you do not know how to listen to a speech propaganda of Gaddafi on a visit to Italy. Such a situation, that is, a dictator who performs in a show organized by a European country and cost the public, is not even conceivable in any liberal nation, European or Western. The two facts together make it clear how weak and confused foreign policy that instead, in a situation so serious, it should be clear and consistent. Surprise that the Italian right-wing voters are able to endure the spectacle of a''"Italy at" by taking cinecommedia "slap in the face" not by big powers, but very questionable as protagonists of the Arab-Mediterranean policy. Another example of the confusion in Italy is given by the relations with Eritrea. On 18 September was the anniversary della feroce repressione che il regime del Presidente Isayas Afawork, al potere da 19 anni, ha condotto contro i dissidenti, quasi tutti eroi della trentennale guerra di indipendenza contro l’Etiopia. Il giorno 18 settembre 2001, infatti, scompariva nelle carceri di Asmara Petros Salomon, il mitico comandante dell’EPLF, poi ministro della Difesa e degli Esteri nei primi anni dell’indipendenza. Di lui e di molti altri intellettuali e cittadini eritrei in carcere non si sa più nulla. Sono scomparsi dopo l’arresto e la detenzione in container nascosti nel deserto eritreo. L’Organizzazione delle Nazione Unite ha chiesto di visitare i luoghi di detenzione senza ricevere alcuna risposta. L’Eritrea è anche responsabile di finanziare Al-Sheebab e le corti religiose islamiche che seminano attentati in Etiopia e in Somalia e che, per loro stessa ammissione, fanno ormai parte del fronte antioccidentale legato ad Al-Quaeda e agli altri gruppi della Jiaad islamica che intendono destabilizzare l’intero Corno d’Africa. Il governo eritreo è stato denunciato dall' EAJA (Eastern Africa Journalists Association) per l’arresto e la tortura dei giornalisti eritrei colpevoli di non pensarla come il Presidente Afawork che vieta l’ingresso in Eritrea anche ai giornalisti italiani ed europei. L’8 e 9 luglio 2010 i cittadini eritrei in Italia hanno protestato davanti all’Ambasciata della Libia a Roma e presso le Prefetture italiane because many Eritreans who arrive in our country to escape the regime of Isay Afawork are inexplicably returned to Libya where they disappear forever in labor camps in the desert. Recently, another 250 Eritreans fleeing persecution in their country, were locked in a Libyan prison Brak in critical conditions of detention. On 23 December 2009 the UN Security Council in its resolution number 1907, has accused Eritrea of \u200b\u200barming Somali terrorists of Hizbul Islam and Al-Shabab and Al-Qaeda support. The UN has sanctioned Eritrea with an embargo, however partial, to purchase weapons. The UN, the International Red Cross, the Association for the Protection of Human Rights of the Eritrean People, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders have called on the international community to cease the Eritrean regime and its repressive policy of support for Islamic terrorism. Despite all this, the Italian Government maintains good relations with Afawork Isay and his regime. Isay is a good friend of Prime Minister Berlusconi and often goes on vacation in Italy. His scheme is financed by Italy and the Italian Cooperation. His aides have met with our ministers and politicians after the release of UN sanctions.
In Nairobi in Kenya in late August 2010, we found bags with maps of the terrorist attacks and arrested a dozen men who were planning to commit attacks. Among the objectives was also the International House, the skyscraper that is home to a Somali radio, other international representatives, the Italian Development Cooperation and the Embassy of Italy in Nairobi. It is astonishing that the Government of the Italian Republic, that of a European nation that calls itself liberal and democratic, dictatorial regimes have for friends and those friendships do not lead to any useful result for the Italian people as seen in the case of fishermen in Mazara del Vallo machine-gunned by the Libyans in international waters.
It 'clear that when foreign policy is so fragile, ambiguous and unfair that the nation can not hope to produce to obtain useful results, nor for its citizens, nor in terms of a strategy that is winning in the international arena. Italy needs a strong relationships with Arab and African countries for cultural, social and economic issues and this is all the more reason, for two of its former colonies such as Libya and Eritrea. But Italy should never fail in pursuit of national interests and the liberal principles on which it based its constitutional and historical identity.
