Crise Libyenne : entre puissances internationales et revendications internes

16
December 2020
Abdelhak Bassou

Abdelhak Bassou, Senior Fellow au Policy Center for the New South, revient sur l’une des principales crises géopolitiques de ces dernières années, une crise qui se déroule à l’intersection de l’Afrique du Nord, de la Méditerranée, et du Sahel : la crise libyenne. En s’intéressant d’abord aux différents sommets, conférences, réunions internationales et inter-libyennes, il s’avère que l’un des principaux défis en vue de la résolution de la crise réside dans la coordination des efforts des différents acteurs impliqués. L’une des difficultés de la crise réside ainsi dans la complexité qu’apportent avec eux les différentes parties, et en particulier certaines puissances internationales et régionales. Cette complexité se surajoute aux complications qui vont de pair avec les revendications et intérêts, à tous les niveaux, des acteurs libyens, et à la possibilité pour eux de changer de position ou de demande d’une échéance diplomatique à l’autre. M. Bassou, en analysant ces différents points, s’attarde ainsi sur les conditions de possibilité pour la résolution d’une crise où aucune solution n’a jusqu’ici été pérenne, en rappelant certaines des caractéristiques, venues de son histoire et de son anthropologie, de la société libyenne, et en se penchant sur la question des équilibres de force internes et mondiaux.

    The young women sitting in the Olympic ice hockey stadium of Kwandong, South Korea, were dressed like a group of gorgeous stewardesses on an outing after graduating from flight school, or as if they were celebrating the survival of an emergency landing. They applauded in a very methodical fashion, a well-studied rhythm that their eternal Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un certainly did not learn at his Swiss boarding school “Liebefeld Steinhoelzi” near Bern, Switzerland. Who dares to confir ...

    Are we witnessing a third generation of jihadism rearing its head in the Sahel? In the wake of the globalised movement of jihad in the 1990s, spearheaded by Afghan jihadists and propelled forward by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, another trend has emerged in recent years with the advent of Daesh (also known as ISIS and ISIL) – a trend that is characterised by the territorialisation of the struggle and the revival of the Caliphate dream. These two movements have engaged in fierce conf ...

    While possible, prospects for repairing existing fractures through multilateral dialogue and compromise have become elusive as crises in the region persist. There are quite a few unfavorable conditions hindering the emergence of some form of multilateral security process: areas of hot conflict have widened in recent years making violence almost endemic in the region, in countries like Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. The Middle East peace process is in a stalemate and already thin trus ...

    The big question for Africans on safeguarding peace and security is whether the Pan-African organization, which aspires to lead the continent towards peace and prosperity and to which the continent’s predisposed human and material resource potential, is able to ensure the fulfillment of these ambitions through its own institutions? In other words, can the African Union manage African crises with independent African means? This fundamental question calls for other more intermediate ...
