March 30, 2011 -- ESSF -- The action in Libya is no longer just about obtaining a ceasefire
and protecting civilians. Instead it is about taking part in a civil
war, and that is something the Red-Green Alliance will not support.
“The direction that the action has taken is in clear opposition to
the UN resolution, and there has been no serious attempts to
establish a ceasefire”, saids Frank Aaen, the alliance's defence policy
spokesperson.
“Since last Friday they had succeeded in stopping the attacks from
Gadaffi on the civilian population. It was a correct decision to stop
his attack, and we are pleased to have been part of it”, Frank Aaen
states.
But lately the operation has changed its character, so now we are
involved in a civil war. The last coupl of days the rebels had received
air support to help them push forward, and even though we feel a great
sympathy with the rebels, it is not the task of the military action to
support one of the parties in a civil war.
