The Libyan people
commemorated, yesterday Monday, April 17th their
brave resistance against the failed American, Atlantic
aggression on Great Jamahiriya in 1985. The aggression that
violated human rights, sovereignty of people and countries
as well as the international law.
The Libyan people frustrated
targets of that aggression, for which America mobilized its
strategic military capabilities, originally prepared to
attack Warsaw Pact under the leadership of the Soviet Union
that time. In a desperate attempt, America used NATO's
strategic marine and air force bases in Britain, Europe and
the Mediterranean Sea so that it might control Libya, which
has been inciting the Arab unity, rejecting the Zionist
existence, supporting the liberation movements in Africa,
Asia and Latin America; and championing causes of Islam and
Muslims sine eruption of the Great al-Fatah Revolution.
The objectives of this
aggression were uncovered by a series of American open and
secret hostile measures that preceded and paved the way for
that aggression.
For example, American
Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Shester
Crooker declared in his report before the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee 0n the 10/ 07/ 1981 : '' The Libyan
role in Africa constitutes danger on American interests in
the continent. (…) America considers Libya responsible for
the failure of American attempts to liquidate the
Palestinian cause, which it uses to express that by American
attempts to find a solution in the Middle East ''
The American CIA presented a
secret report to Atlantic Alliance in November 1981
requesting Europe to stand against Libya. CIA warned the
European countries in that report of what it described of
Libya declaration to establish rapid intervention force,
which is considered the only rapid intervention force in
Africa.
These American hostile
statements and political stands that preceded the direct
military intervention on this same day coincided with a
series of American moves and military maneuvers of American
Fleets in the area and with American economic, technical
military and scientific sanctions against Libya.
The Libyan people while
commemorating this anniversary pray humbly to Allah the
Almighty to bestow His mercy on the souls of its children,
women and elderly whose bodies were torn up by American
bombs while they were quietly asleep when Reagan and
Margaret Thatcher carried out that outrageous aggression on
the cities of Tripoli and Benghazi late at night and it
targeted the leader of the Revolution and his family who
were saved by the grace of Allah while those who carried the
aggression had gone in the history dust pin. The Libyan
people while commemorating this anniversary stresses his
firm right for compensation on that aggression.
This was reiterated in all
the resolutions issued by BPC'c regarding foreign policy
during its regular annual session for 2007 which were
drafted by the General People's Congress on 3rd
of March of this year 2008 which stated “the necessity
to follow up the arrangements to bring to justice those
responsible for the American Atlantic aggression on
Jamahiriya in the year 1986’.
The Libyan people, while
commemorating the anniversary of their heroic confrontation
of that aggression confirm that the language of ration,
dialogue, diplomacy, respect of political and economic
options of peoples, respect of their cultural identity and
cooperation to serve mutual interests, are the best way to
build confidence between nations in this era.
The Libyan people count on
that due to the huge changes taking place in the
international policy. The makers of such policies
acknowledged that the Libyan people has become the object of
great appreciation and respect in the world due to the
boldness and wisdom of the leader of the Revolution in
handling big battles and his deep vision and strategic
analysis of the intellectual and political challenges facing
the world of today; besides his pioneering and constant role
to build fair and balanced international relations based on
mutual respect and constructive cooperation between all
peoples to bring out world peace and stability.
The free Libyan people
confirm its readiness to develop its relations with the
American people on the principle of evenness away from the
logic of force that America realized today that it is in
vain with people that believe in the right to live freely
and in peace and security. In the mean time, rejecting the
policy of arrogance and dictations, assuring that force can
never defeat peoples, rather peoples are able to conquer the
mightiest power...
