Quella che dai media di tutto il mondo è stata chiamata la “primavera araba” ebbe inizio ufficialmente il 17 dicembre 2010 a Tunisi, dove un venditore ambulante per protesta contro il sequestro della sua merce si diede fuoco, portando all’attenzione di tutto il mondo la grande situazione di disagio che vivevano i ragazzi arabi. Rovesciamento del Governo Modifiche governative dovute a rilevanti disordini civili Modifiche governative dovute a causa di proteste relativamente minori Ribellione armata Proteste diffuse (la maggior parte delle grandi città) Proteste relativamente minori Paesi al di fuori del mondo arabo con crisi correlate 3 Le proteste che seguirono questo episodio crearono un effetto “tsunami” che coinvolse molti Paesi della sponda sud del Mediterraneo e del mondo arabo. L’oggetto della mia tesi prende dunque in considerazione uno degli aspetti di questa importante fase storica, ovvero le nuove mobilità prodotte dalla guerra in Libia. Le motivazioni della scelta risiedono nel fatto che tali mobilità toccano da vicino il nostro paese e non da ultimo derivano dalla personale sensibilizzazione alla questione in seguito al tirocinio da me svolto nel Centro d’accoglienza per richiedenti asilo di Gradisca d’Isonzo, dove hanno trovato assistenza alcuni migranti arrivati in Italia nel corso della guerra di Libia. Data l’ampiezza del tema, il nostro studio si è tuttavia concentrato sui movimenti di popolazione dalla Libia all’Europa, dai Paesi dell’Africa centrale alla Libia ed i movimenti interni alla stessa che hanno avuto luogo prima, durante ed a seguito della guerra, trascurando il sistema di accoglienza per i migranti presente in Italia e le politiche adottate dal nostro governo in quel frangente. La tesi si articolerà dunque nel modo seguente: per contestualizzare la trattazione sulle migrazioni all’interno del Paese, il primo capitolo consterà di un’introduzione storica riguardante la Libia, dall’impero Ottomano al Governo di Gheddafi cercando di esporre le tappe principali che questo Paese ha attraversato per arrivare ai giorni nostri. Nel secondo capitolo passerò all’esposizione degli eventi che hanno interessato il Paese nel 2011, anno della guerra civile, con le sue varie implicazioni, quali la composizione del Consiglio Nazionale di Transizione, le risoluzioni adottate dagli organismi internazionali per portare a termine la guerra che ha visto la caduta del Colonnello Gheddafi, come si sono svolte le prime elezioni libere nel Paese e qual è stato il ruolo di Lega araba ed Unione africana in questo periodo. Il punto centrale della tesi, nel quarto capitolo, riguarderà il tema delle migrazioni. Dopo aver illustrato l’ampiezza dei fenomeni migratori in Libia passerò alle rotte migratorie in uso verso la Libia ed all’interno di questo Stato, successivamente tratterò le rotte che portano dal Paese verso l’Europa per poi arrivare a parlare degli abusi a cui sono sottoposti i migranti ed in particolare i migranti di colore, i quali passano dal carcere, alle deportazioni, ai respingimenti, ai maltrattamenti alle violenze. Affronterò infine i movimenti di popolazione che durante la guerra sono andati nel senso opposto all’esodo di massa, cioè quelli di mercenari e jihadisti che hanno preso parte al conflitto con o contro il precedente regime. Nell’ultima parte affronterò la “emergenza profughi” che ha colpito direttamente l’Italia a seguito dei combattimenti, argomento che ci riguarda da vicino e che merita di essere se non altro introdotto per poter avere una visione d’insieme del fenomeno. 4 Vista la contemporaneità degli eventi trattati, oltre alla saggistica classica sulla Libia e quella più recente, sono stati in gran parte utilizzati articoli di giornale, telegiornali e documenti tratti da svariati siti internet, in lingue occidentali e in arabo. 5 ُمقَ ِّد َمة في َوق تِ كتابة ه ذ هِ اﻷَطروح ة، كان العال مِ العربي عاب ًرا ف ترةًِ م ه ً مة ج ً دا ل مستَِقبَ لِ الب ﻻ دِ التي تَ َؤلِّفَهِ . فَجأ تِ وﻻدةِ َح َركات متَنَ ِّوعة لﻹحت جا جِ ، خﻻل ثَورا تِ و مظا هرا ت، ب تَغيي رِ أن ظم ةِ َكثير ةِ في إفريقيا الشمالي ةِ. بَدأ، ما ا طل قِ علي هِ "ال َربي َعِ العربي" من قَب لِ َوسائ لِ اﻹعﻻ مِ في العال مِ ك ُّله ، َرسميً ا في٧١ ف براير٠٢٧٢ في تون سِ. َح َد َثِ ه ناك ل ﻻحت جا جِ على مصا در ةِ ب ضائ ع هِ ،أن بائ ًعا َمتَ َج ِّو ًﻻِ أول َعِ النا رِ ب نَف س هِ ، جالبًا على رؤي ة العال مِ حال ةِ اﻹزعا َجِ الكبي َرِ الَّتي كا َنِ ي عي شِ ب ها الشباب العرب. َخلَقَ تِ ا ﻻحت جاجات الَّتي أعقَبَ تِ ذلك الحدث تأثي ًرا "تسوناميًا" أو َرط ب ﻻ ًدا كثيرة من السا ح لِ ال جنوبي ل لبَح رِ اﻷبي ضِ ال متَ َو ِّس طِ و العال مِ العربي. فيَتطر قِ َموضو عِ أَطرو َحتي بجان بِ من َجوان بِ ه ذ هِ ال َمر َحلة التاريخية ال م ه َّمة، و التي هي َح َركة التنقل ال َجديدة التي أنتَ َج تها ال َحر بِ في ليبيا. تَس ك نِ ِّ َ مبَ َّررات هذا ال َخيا رِ في َحقيق ةِ أ نِ ه ذ هِ ال َح َركة ت َؤث َرِ ب شك لِ مباشر بَل دنا. َّ َ َوتَوقَفتِ أي ًضا على الوعي ال َشخص يِ ل هذا ال َمسأل ة، بعد التَدري بِ الذي أجريت هِ في َمر َك زِ اﻹست قبا لِ ل طالبي اللجو ءِ في "جراديسكا دي إسونزو"، َحي َثِ وجد ال َمسا َعدةَِ بعض ال مها جري نِ الذين َوصلوا في إيطاليا خﻻل ال َحرب في ليبيا. 6 نَ َظ ًرا ل َحج مِ أل َموضو ع، تَ َر َك َزت درا َست نا على تنق ﻻ تِ ال س كا نِ من ليبيا إلى أوروبا، من ب ﻻ دِ إفريقيا ال َمر َكزي ةِ إلى ليبيا وعلى التَنق ﻻت دا خ لِ هذه اﻷخيرة الَّتي َوقَ َع تِ قَبل و خﻻل و بَعد ال َحر ب، وكل هذا اهما لِ ن ظا َمِ استقبا لِ أل مها جرين في إيطاليا والسياسا َتِ ال منتَ هج ةِ من ق بَ لِ حكو َمت نا في ه ذ هِ ال َمر َحل ةِ. و ت نقَ س مِ اﻷَطرو َحة َكما يَلي : ل تأَطير ال َع َم لِ َحو َلِ ال هجر ةِ داخل ليبيا فَإ َّنِ الفَصل اﻷ و لِ اسيكون مدخﻻًِِتاريخيً ا لِ ليبيا من ا ﻹمبَراطوري ةِ ال َعثماني ةِ إلى حك مِ القَ ذافي ؛ و َسو َفِ ا حا و لِ أن أَستَعر َضِ ال َخطوا َتِ ال َرئيسي ةِ ال تي عبر ب ها هذا البَلَ َدِ ل لوصو لِ إلى ال َوق تِ الحالي. سأتناو لِ في الفَص لِ ألثِ اني اﻷَحدا ثِ ال تي َ َ أثَ َر تِ على البَلَ دِ في عام ٠٢٧٧، وهو عا مِ ال َحر بِ اﻷهلي ة، و سا َحلِّ لِ النَتائ جِ ال مختَل فَ ةِ ل ه ذ هِ اﻷَحدا ث، مثل تأسيس ال َمجل سِ ال َو َطني ا ﻻنت قالي، و القَرارا َتِ التي ا عتَ َم َّد تها ال منَ ِّظما تِ الد َولي ةِ ل نهاء ال َحر بِ ب سقو طِ ال َعقي دِ القَ ذافي، وكيف إن َعقَدت ا ﻻنت خابات ال ح رة اﻷولى في البَلَ د، و في الن هاي ةِ َدو َرِ جا معةَِ ال ُّد َو لِ العربية و اﻹتِّحا َدِ اﻹفريقي في ه ذ هِ ألف ت َر ةِ. َ الن قطةِ ال َمر َكزي ةِ لﻷطرو َح ةِ ستكون في الفَص لِ الراب ع، و َست ت َعل قِ ب َمسألَةَِ ال هجر ةِ. سأنتَقَ ل، بَع َدِ أن أو َض َحِ ات َساع الظوا ه رِ ال هجري ةِ في ليبيا، إلى ط ر قِ ال هجر ةِ الحالي ة نحو ليبيا و دا خلَها ؛ ث َّمِ سأعال جِ الط ر َقِ الَّتي تَقود من البَلَ دِ إلى أوروبا ، للوصول إلى التعسف واﻷذى التي يَخ َضعو َنِ لهما ال مها جرون وخصو ًصا ال مها جرون السود الذي َنِ يَنتقلو َنِ منِال سج نِ إلى اﻻَبعا د، وا ﻻعت دا ء، وال عن فِ. 7 سأتطر قِ في الن هاي ةِِإلى تَنقﻻ َتِ ال س كا نِ الذين ذهبوا خﻻ َلِ ال َحر بِ في ا تِّجا هِ معا ك سِ ب ال مقا َرن ةِ َمع ال هجر ةِ ال َجماعي ةِ ، آي تَنق ﻻات ال مرتَ زقَ ةِ وال جهاديي ن، الذي َنِ شا ركوا في ال صرا عِ َمع أو ض دِ الن ظا مِ الساب قِ.

    www.pomed.org ♦ 1820 Jefferson Place NW, Suite 400 ♦ Washington, DC 20036 "Assessing the Situation in Libya" United States Congress Senate Committee on Foreign Relations 419 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515 Thursday, March 31, 2:00pm – 4:00pm The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on Thursday afternoon entitled, "Assessing the Situation in Libya." Deputy Secretary of State James B. Steinberg testified before the committee. Committee Chairman Senator John Kerry (D-MA) moderated the hearing. Ranking Member, Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN) was also in attendance. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Bob Corker (R-TN), Ben Cardin (D-MD), James Risch (R-ID), Tom Udall (D-NM), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) made appearances during the hearing to question the witness. Senator John Kerry made opening remarks on the situation in Libya. Kerry stated that the U.S., through a robust international coalition, had avoided a human catastrophe in Libya that sent a strong message to the region. He acknowledged the concerns of his Congressional colleagues on several questions regarding U.S. action in Libya and said he welcomed debate on the issue. The Senator also stated that he was convinced the U.S. did have vital and strategic interests and a stake in the outcome of the situation in Libya. Kerry also said he had met with members of the Libyan opposition and had asked members to travel to Washington to meet with U.S. officials and that the U.S. should "give them a fighting chance" to oust Muammar Gadhafi from power.

  • Libya's Civil War, 2011
    Factsheet : Libya’s Civil War, 2011 Factsheet Series No. 123, Created: May 2011, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East What triggered protests in Libya in early 2011? Protests in Libya began on January 14, in the eastern town of al-Bayda over housing conditions. 1 The February 15 arrest of a human rights activist representing the families of victims of the Abu Salim prison massacre (see below) sparked protests by 500-600 people February 16 in the city of Benghazi, also in eastern Libya. On February 17, police killed 15 Benghazi protesters during a large organized protest. The army’s elite 32 nd Brigade, commanded by Muammar Gaddafi’s son Khamis, swept into Bayda and Benghazi February 17-18, killing dozens of people, sparking outrage and even larger protests. Protesters’ initial demands then morphed into calls for Gaddafi’s ouster. Benghazi remains a rebel stronghold. What are the protesters’ larger grievances? Regional disparities in the distribution of the benefits of oil revenues. Although most of Libya’s proven oil and gas reserves lie in eastern Libya, it has long been neglected in favour of the western province around Tripoli, the capital. According to a leaked US embassy cable, Gaddafi deliberately pursued policies to “keep the east poor.” Half of the men aged 18 to 34 in eastern Libya are unemployed, according to a local source quoted in the cable. 2 Periodic uprisings in eastern Libya have also been sharply suppressed over the years, intensifying resentment of Gaddafi there.3 Gross human rights violations. Gaddafi’s Libya has a history of gross human rights violations which remain unpunished and largely unacknowledged by the government.

    Alternative Politics, Vol.3, No.3, 256-419, November 2011 256 TIMELINE OF THE ARAB REVOLT: DECEMBER 2010 – JUNE 2011 Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI* December 17, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed, sets fire to himself in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, protesting at the confiscation by police of his fruit and vegetable cart. He suffers third-degree burns across his entire body and is subsequently treated in the Traumatology Centre for Severe Burns in the town of Ben Arous. His self-immolation sparks demonstrations in which protesters burned tyres and chanted slogans demanding jobs. Protests soon spread to other parts of the country including the towns of al-Ragab and Maknasi in central Tunisia, and later the capital, Tunis. Videos of the Sidi Bouzid demonstrations are online soon after the protest began and the Twitter website carries extensive commentary of the protests. December 19, 2010 Tunisia - Protests spread to Kairouan (holy city located in north-central Tunisia), Sfax (city 270 km southeast of Tunis), and Ben Guerdane (town in south-eastern Tunisia, close to the border with Libya). December 20, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Al Nouri Al Juwayni, the Tunisian development minister, travels to Sidi Bouzid to announce a new $10m employment programme. But protests continue unabated. December 21, 2010 Tunisia - President Ben Ali carries out limited cabinet reshuffle and warns that protesters would be punished if rioting continued in the country. December 22, 2010 Tunisia - Lahseen Naji, a 22-year-old commits suicide in the midst of another demonstration over unemployment in Sidi Bouzid by climbing an electricity pylon and electrocuting himself on the cables, after shouting out ―No to misery, no to unemployment!‖ 257 Bogdan Szajkowski Ramzi Al-Abboudi, under the burden of business debt, ironically made possible by the country‘s micro-credit solidarity programme, commits suicide.

Los sirios desafían a los tanques sin más armas que sus deseos de cambio MOISÉS NAÍM 15/05/2011 ¿Cómo explicar que Estados Unidos y Europa estén bombardeando a Trípoli con misiles y a Damasco con palabras? ¿Por qué tanto empeño en sacar al brutal tirano libio del poder y tanto cuidado con su igualmente salvaje colega sirio? Comencemos por la respuesta más común (y errada): es por el petróleo. Libia tiene mucho y Siria, no. Y por tanto, según esta explicación, el verdadero objetivo de la agresión militar contra Libia son sus campos petroleros. Siria se salva por no tener mucho petróleo. El problema con esta respuesta es que, en términos de acceso garantizado al petróleo libio, Gadafi era una apuesta mucho más segura para Occidente que la situación de caos e incertidumbre que ha producido esta guerra. Las empresas petroleras de Occidente operaban muy bien con Gadafi. No necesitaban cambiar nada. Una segunda, y común, manera de contestar la pregunta es denunciando la hipocresía estadounidense: Washington nos tiene acostumbrados al doble rasero y a las contradicciones en sus relaciones internacionales. Esta tampoco es una respuesta muy útil, ya que no nos ayuda a entender las causas de estas contradicciones.
