The dangers of the Islamic state in Libya

The advance of the Islamic state in Libya, endangers Europe, which shares the opposite shores of the Mediterranean, but also the neighboring states such as Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt. The rise of jihadist forces, who recognize the caliphate, it is no surprise: the bands that have escaped the control of a central authority that does not exist, because divided, have been able to count immediately after the fall of Gaddafi, on very arsenals provided the dictator. What I missed was a diplomatic coordination on the part of Western countries, to find an agreement between the plaintiffs, divided by a political rivalry, often on tribal bases, which left uncontrolled spaces easier to fill for Islamic extremists. This lack has only resulted in a gradual abandonment of the diplomatic outposts, which further unguarded country. Since the rebellion against Gaddafi, was not expected, especially within the country, to possible solutions that could facilitate the control of the territory of a country essentially artificial and unified only by the Italian colonial policy. Rather than get the current scenario was to facilitate the establishment of two independent states, based on their ethnic tribal, they could provide a control of their territory, without a struggle that would develop affordable only to Islamic fundamentalism. The relative proximity with the territory manned by Boko Haram is, then, an additional factor of danger for a possible welding between the two movements, which would be an army hardly be opposed. Certainly the presence of Chad, assisted by the French is a difficult obstacle for the fundamentalists, but the Niger may not be as strong. From the south eastern Libya borders with Algeria, in trouble with Muslim extremism, where they act fundamentalist gangs that operate illegal trade with Mali and find refuge in an area particularly favorable for terrorist bases. This framework increases the danger contingent, which sees the caliphate advance toward Europe, albeit still ranks reduced. The effects can be an intensification of trafficking of migrants, with an increase in travel to Italy, able to put a strain on the capacity and management of the phenomenon, already highlighted by the poor management of the operation Triton. Moreover, the threat of the conquest of oil wells and refineries, could jeopardize supplies to several European countries and feed the black market of crude oil, with positive effects only for the coffers of the Islamic State. So far the most pressing practical reasons, but there is also a real danger of the conquest of the southern shores of the Mediterranean, from which you can, with suitable weapons to hit the coasts of Sicily and beyond, plunging Western Europe into a state war. The particular physical proximity, could also further facilitate the entry of terrorists for attacks in those who are defined Crusader states. The overall picture of the present and the future, does not therefore further hold to an action, which appears necessary and long overdue. Certainly it would be desirable to move under the aegis of the United Nations, but if this is not possible in the short term it is preferable that Italy, first of all, but also France and Spain, studying forms of cooperation with the neighboring Arab countries, willing to protect their themselves from the dangerous contagion of the Islamic State. Italy can not avoid involvement in what would be a real military action, for its dealings with the country of Libya, but you should find agreements with Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco; Egypt certainly has the distinction of being ruled by a military junta which erased a coup election with a military, but now requires a certain speed of decision, moreover Cairo has already started the war action in response to 'execution of workers Copts killed because they are Christians. Certainly involvement in a crackdown on the Islamic state will only expose the nations who will take part in dangerous retaliation, as the possible attacks, however, still seem the worst possible consequences of Libya in the hands of terrorists, especially as a center of union extremism of different but that can unite in the common project of the creation of an Islamic state more and more extended.
