Alternattiva Demokratika insists for action against Gaddafi’s regime
Alternattiva Demokratika has once again urged government to call on the international community to intervene in the Libya crisis and help save lives.
AD Spokesperson for EU and International Affairs Arnold Cassola called on the Maltese government to insist that the European Union and the United Nations should do something concrete to save people’s lives in the war-torn city of Misrata.
“Hundreds and hundreds have been killed.” Cassola said. “But if the international community does not act fast, the brutal Gaddafi regime will add other hundreds of victims.”
“The civilised world cannot just watch the carnage go on in absolute impotence,” he said.
AD Chairperson Michael Briguglio said government cannot “sit on the fence” and adopt a passive stance.
“The cost of not taking action against the brutal Gaddafi regime, and other similar regimes, is much greater than taking action,” Briguglio said. “It is comfortable to raise endless arguments on whether action should take place from the comfort of Western societies, when innocent civilians are being bombed by the Gaddafi regime.”
