ago join recent protests against the same issue members of the black panthers movement say they are frustrated the problems in israel is only gotten worse. turning our attention to libya now with more insight into what's happening there our interview coming up. no. you understand why rosemary hollis professor of middle east policy studies at city university in london rosemary thanks for speaking to r.t. so how well has the international community handled the libyan crisis will you make a distinction between the nato members some of whom are extremely proud of what's been achieved so far in libya and the broader international community who are adjusting to developments in libya and deciding to be on the side of the future though not every government around the world has yet recognized and accepted the national transitional council as the government so did they do the right thing to

begin with i think the u.n. responded to an emergency the arab league made a plea for some sort of intervention to save the citizens of benghazi from massacre but only over the last several months have we all realized the extent to which britain france in particular nato in general basically entered the war determined that the anti gadhafi side when there seems to be an assumption that the new government of libya will be automatically pro western the old call contracts will just be renewed is that really going to be the case do you think i'm not sure that . the new libyan government will be pro-west there are three or four signals so far that they're very firmly nationalist for example they said they're not extraditing any live again including a couple gossett on mccarthy who was convicted of the lockerbie bombing and the

americans wanted. he's now close to death and living in tripoli and the national transitional council says that's where he states the other signals are that they're talking about yes it would be nice to have u.n. help. caring for elections but no we don't want international observers there drawing a line where they think it should be drawn between what's their business and what international help is useful for thinking i think it's essential for the survival of the next new libyan government that they be seem to be more libyan than approve of the west to the west realize that you think you have dangers it's kind of scramble for influence it's a good question how do western players realize that they are a kind of liability i think only with difficulty they realize this they assumed they put the best interests of not only themselves but the libyans to at heart and

it can be an amicable mutually beneficial understanding reached what yeah they talk about democracy in a way that suggests they can only see the western version the british government certainly has been very keen to stress that this will not be another iraq and they've learned those lessons but do you think that's really the case have they really learned those lessons it seems that every political generation every generation of politicians thinks that they can achieve things that the previous one didn't until they try. they won't say any different so cameron and sarkozy took a massive gamble that they could pull something off in libya that would contrast with the disaster that was the intervention in iraq and you know how of president sarkozy talking as though this is a template for future interventions whoa maybe but the cost in resources in manpower in struggle that is to come i mean they will have to be

massive support in humanitarian terms in the near term there will be more fighting it is taking casualties and there's a lot of rebuilding to do and reconciliation between the. factions and therefore it's not over and done with in terms of commitment of western. time energy and resources how much potential is there for this to turn into another iraq is it on the right course now of course it's a cliche to say it but you know the comparisons can only be taken so far with iraq libya is a very different place and some calculations had to do with the fact that it seemed simpler to intervene in libya it was a small population spread out mostly along the coast with long exposed roads in between the main towns and cities that presented targets that

nato aerial intervention looked capable of exploiting to good effect on the ground . how to say. what we hear about. various people from the m i six type sector but certainly special forces s.a.'s and so on operating on the ground. this is very much. a kind of proxy war which must be extremely exciting and exhilarating at some level to be involved so it's more likely it seems to me that in that sense the appetite for further interventions will exist as opposed to this is the template for. the triumph of humanitarianism over. warfare what about the national transitional council they've promised that within eighteen months they'll have a new constitution and elections is that possible well the lesson from the other

revolutions in the region and egypt is that there is good reasons to delay elections if you think you can organize sensible coherent and different contra. competing political parties if you have more time so it rather depends were people are going to vote as they did in iraq in the initial elections on name recognition or on sectarian loyalty as in this case possibly in libya on tribal loyalties all rural urban divide. and name recognition rather than choosing between different party platforms but an inclusive assembly to devise and choose and approve a constitution may not be such a bad thing the u.k. government is already sending at it so they've run for a reason but it's not

a little bit naive given what happened in iraq with a lot of money going missing i think it's essential if you've invested in the national transitional council you certainly have to hand over the money to them you can't then say but we don't trust him to spend it correctly because then you of verging on doing what the americans did in iraq which is saying we could do we can organize iraq better than the iraqis do you trust them to think capable of doing it i think that's going to be retribution i think there's going to be continued conflict in neighborhoods in. out lying regions of the country i think it's going to take a long time for the libyans to find their way to a completely different path your could alfie invented was a very peculiar system it was supposed to be democracy for the masses with grassroots assemblies making the decisions it was nothing of the kind it was a dictatorship and those around the colonel operated out of

fear as much as green trying to suck up to him lots of people were implicated where do you draw the line who was too bad to be forgiven who needs prosecuting and will it be vic. does justice or will it be kind of like manama's justice that is about inclusiveness and building together now the libyans need to work all of that out in the meantime they've got to pay salaries to get the basic tasks of life including policing and the court system operating if during that period they are challenge to sign contracts with international companies and have to make decisions which end up reinforcing the role of the state in the commercial sector in the economy and include inducements from those companies to secure the contracts against the competition

then we're back into the danger zone that this will not be a wholly transparent and uncorrupt regime. the jury's out western leaders have stressed to the rebels the need to avoid revenge attacks and the need for tolerance yet they've also said that nato airstrikes will continue for as long as gadhafi is a threat is this mixed messages but i know from my experience of. conversations with arabs in different parts of the arab world over many years that they never take the statements of the west at face value they always assume there's a hidden agenda and they positively expect. double standards so on this particular occasion it suits the rebels as well as the nato powers to fudge the truth about who's on the side of right and who's doing all the

killing and what the consequences are that will this lead to revenge attacks already within the rebels rounding up sub-saharan black africans accusing them of being mercenary that is appalling and there will be questions for the future of the economy how much i can rent labor do they need. even the egyptians who were working for the libyans before the revolution have had rough treatment and have gone home planet us people from east a sure hope in the same bind and you're seeing a version of racism and prejudice coming out against anybody who's black on suspicion that gadhafi recruited mercenaries from sub-saharan africa but. the truth is a mixture of things yes some mercenaries how witting how understanding they were of what they got involved in one doesn't know but that a lot of innocents are getting caught up in this absolutely but that is the nature

of war and so despite what sarkozy and cameron and anybody else may wish to do to dress this up as a glorious rescue of the ordinary people against a vicious dictator in fact it's war and bad things happen in war thank you.
