actually what happens in Libya is probably more important in Italy then UK, as aside from the many Libyans living there, Italy has had a long standing relationship with Kadafi. During Italy's brief affair in colonialism, they relied upon the Belgian tactics of cruelty in both Libya and Ethiopia, where they resulted in the mass killing of tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of people. The symbol that Italy and Libya are heavily cliqued up, Italy signed a $4 billion reparations/development deal with Kadafi two or three years ago, and left Ethiopia out in the cold, making further steps to deny their crimes in Ethiopia especially after cutting Libya the check so as not to give Ethiopia credibility to rightfully claim reparations of their own, let alone for the Eritreans.
Before the media caught on I knew Libya would be the next to errupt because aside from Kadafi's big "I Heart Africa" spiel when Libya held the recent presidency of the AU, and though he literally pretended to be the last Elder Statesmen of the African Fathers tradition, the reality is even worse than those previous "Elders" and Libyan regime relies on literally Nazi tactics to keep their oil-ocracy aflot and also continue to imagine themselves to be European, more Moorish than African..
Libya has been on the verge for over a decade now, I knew this spark would set it off just I called it in 2006 when the Somalis provoked the Ethiopians to invasion, I knew the tension ran deep for years there.
In Libya, much like in Ethiopia, this recent current of revolution and uprising was the final straw..
