Central African Republic Crisis
Political violence has been a constant element in Central African Republic (CAR) history. Since 2012, after a 3 year civil war (2004-2007), the Country has been facing a new crisis. After 5/6 months of “gestation”, the actual crisis burst out in March 2013 when Muslim Séléka militias overrun CAR’s Capital (Bangui) forcing President Bozize to flee. In the following months, the crisis lost its early link with political fight and became a pure interreligious conflict: Muslims against Christians, Séléka militias against anti-balaka militias. The very victim of the conflict has been the non-fighting population.
All have long known (Authorities and experts) that the italian oil facilities in Lybia were sensitive targets, expecially because it is completely uncovered from any form of both passive and active safety.
Sono passate molte ore dalla notizia del rapimento dei 4 dipendenti italiani in Libia e le informazioni continuano ad essere confuse oltre che contaminate da personali punti di vista e riflessioni di vari esponenti. Quattro soggetti che senza scorta si muovono tranquillamente in un determinato teatro come quello libico devono obbligatoriamente avere una preparazione o un addestramento che gli consenta quella libertà. Chi di voi andrebbe ad operare in un ambiente ostile senza avere un briciolo di tutela personale?
The Tunisian government closed 80 mosques hoping this is the more effective response to the terrorist attack of Sousse. The measure actually looks superficial and of little use to contrast ISIS right now. Mosques should instead remain open and be monitored absolutely right to rebuild the network of potential affiliates and supporters of Daesh.
Tunisia is totally lacking an intelligence apparatus that can prevent isolated actions and group of terrorists, information is lacking direct and precise, lack undercover agents even in the sidelines of the dangers subversive.
On the second Friday of Ramadan Daesh launches a global offensive in four states and three continents. The Caliph Black wants to prove to the world that succeeds without investing huge resources to hit any target anywhere. The attack on tourists in five-star resort in Tunisia clearly shows the new strategy at Isis who wants to destroy the Tunisian economy to plunge the country into a deep economic crisis more easily so recruiting men to use in the fight to the West . Do not forget that recruiters find new followers very easily in areas where strong economic suffering social inequalities and poverty are increasing.
Speakers at the seminar organized by the Italian Atlantic Committee, in cooperation with "Abhath" Al Thuraya Consultancy and Researches Mediterranean Gulf Forum, at the CASD - Studies Centre for the defense of Rome, last May 7, have questioned the role that Libya It will have in the future Mediterranean scenery.

After the customary greetings V.Adm. Rinaldo Veri, President of the Centre for High Defence Sudies, it moved to the interventions of Michael Frendo, former Foreign Minister of Malta, who calmly pointed out the problems related to immigration of Mass.
Then intervened Abdul Ilan Khatib, former UN special envoy to Libya and Jordanian Foreign Minister, with a very cautious and diplomatic speech highlighted the need to achieve greater cooperation.
Right now a standard peacekeeping mission is useless if not negative for the stabilization of Libya. The problem today is the emulation Isis and the lack of a strong government recognized by all to put the economy. Then you have to facilitate the solution of these two problems with intelligence activities. An intervention on the ground classic coalition would create chaos and lead the tribes are not aligned to counter the Europeans would witness then to suicide bombings and reprisals different. A true gift to Daesh.
