It is generally believed that the unrest in this country is mainly due to the autocratic rule of President Gaddafi and the recent wave of protests sweeping the Middle East. But in fact, the division that the country is falling into is still deeply rooted.

Libya was once a colony of Italy. During the Italian colonial rule, Libya was composed of three autonomous states. The eastern region and Benghazi are basically autonomous.

According to The Wall Street Journal, after Gaddafi came to power in the military coup of 1969, he achieved national reunification by force. He also moved the capital to Tripoli and shifted Libya's political focus to the west. Its regime has largely ignored the east, although most of Libya's oil wealth is there. According to the report, Gaddafi used tribal disputes to maintain his rule to a certain extent and promoted his tribe to key security positions and decision-making positions. He also successfully suppressed the growth of other political power centers by reorganizing the whole government regularly, making potential political opponents lose their support base or prestige. As a symbol of his Islamic revolutionary ideology, he also nationalized all private enterprises in the 1980s.

Reuters commented that Gaddafi's 40-year leadership over Libya has not made this country a people's country. On the contrary, Libya is one of the countries with the most serious corruption problems in the world. As a country that produces 2% of the world's crude oil, the oil wealth created by Libya has not benefited its 6 million people. According to Libyan insiders, Gaddafi's own tribe controlled some armed forces, and it took them several years to destroy the base of his rival Warfalla. Valfara was once considered as the largest tribal alliance in the country, but this is a thing of the past.

Now, when Libya's political loyalty is severely tested, many tribes left out or oppressed by Gaddafi are against him. Several tribal leaders in Valfara have appeared a few days ago, calling on the people to overthrow Gaddafi. The "Al-Zawiya" tribe from eastern Libya also joined the demonstrators over the weekend, and a leader once threatened to cut off vital oil supplies if Gaddafi remained in power.

In fact, the possibility of persistent conflict and civil war has sounded the alarm for the global oil market, and the international oil price has jumped to the highest level in more than two years. According to foreign analysis, the turmoil in Libya will affect the economy of the whole Mediterranean region, and Italy, as its former colonial ruler, will bear the brunt. At present, Libyan Interior Minister Abdi and Justice Minister Ali have announced their resignations from the government led by Gaddafi. Abdi called on the army to support the opposition and fulfill its "legal obligations as citizens". In addition, at least seven Libyan ambassadors resigned to protest the killings at home, and some senior diplomats called on Gaddafi to step down.

There are two reasons for the Libyan war:

1, Libya is a relatively rich country in the world, which mainly produces oil and also contains a lot of natural gas. This is the main reason why the multinational forces attacked Libya.

2. Although Libya is rich, its military strength is relatively backward. The multinational forces attacked him with advanced weapons, and there is no strength to fight back.

Cause analysis:

1. If Libya has no oil and gas, the multinational force will have no interest in attacking Libya. Is it really to attack Libya and return the Libyan people? That's impossible. Where does the military expenditure come from? I think many heads of state have carved up Libya's oil and gas. History can prove that when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, didn't it also see the treasure of the Qing government in China?

2. Libya's military strength is also important. If Libya's military strength is as strong as Russia's, do they dare to attack him? This is an old saying of China: Persimmons are tender.

From Eight-Nation Alliance's burning of Yuanmingyuan to the allied air strikes against Libya, the rise of capitalist countries means the expansion of the scope of exploitation and the diversification of forms of exploitation.

The fundamental purpose and motive of capitalist production is to pursue the infinite proliferation of capital value and maximize profits by squeezing surplus value. The exploitation of early capitalism was mainly the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. With the advancement of the western democratic movement and the improvement of the welfare system, this early form of exploitation has been severely resisted. Under the background of increasing domestic contradictions, in order to seek new capital value growth points and maximize profits, early capitalist countries began to expand their influence and colonize on a global scale, leading to the emergence of imperialism and fascism.

This is all beside the point. Let's talk about the Libyan war. Libya is actually a scapegoat for the European debt crisis. Since the financial crisis broke out in 2008, European countries have not found new economic growth points. Strikes in France continue, and the high welfare level has increased the financial burden of countries. At this time, we need an excuse to transfer domestic political and economic contradictions. The emergence of Libyan opposition just gave European countries that needed excuses an opportunity, so they started air strikes against Libya under the guise of protecting civilians.

This is like why Britain launched the Opium War, why Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, why Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Yuanmingyuan, and why people on earth developed the territory of Avatar. The nature of capitalism determines that there will be a new war in the world.

In fact, the possibility of persistent conflict and civil war has sounded the alarm for the global oil market, and the international oil price has jumped to the highest level in more than two years. According to foreign analysis, the turmoil in Libya will affect the economy of the whole Mediterranean region, and Italy, as its former colonial ruler, will bear the brunt. At present, Libyan Interior Minister Abdi and Justice Minister Ali have announced their resignations from the government led by Gaddafi. Abdi called on the army to support the opposition and fulfill its "legal obligations as citizens". In addition, at least seven Libyan ambassadors resigned to protest the killings at home, and some senior diplomats called on Gaddafi to step down.

Why is there always a war in the Middle East?

Libya is essentially a tribal country. Only when Britain forcibly merged for its own benefit did the East and the West unite to form a country. In fact, during Gaddafi's rule, the remnants of the eastern royal family and anti-government forces have been very strong. Gaddafi's own rule is based on the support of the three largest tribes in Libya, and his army is actually a combination of tribal armed forces, so Gaddafi has been reducing his army and establishing paramilitary forces instead. At the end of last century, the army of one of the tribes staged a coup and failed. This is a new attempt by the tribe to unite the anti-Gaddafi forces in the east.

There are several main reasons for the turmoil in the Middle East:

1 and the revolutionary wave in the Middle East in the 1960s did not completely change the original political structure in the Middle East, and the religious and tribal forces in the Middle East were very powerful. Although some countries have ended the royal rule, the new regime that came to power can only suppress religious and tribal forces to a certain extent, but it cannot be completely eliminated, which has laid a hidden danger for the unrest.

2. Because of religious and territorial disputes, Islamic countries in the Middle East are full of contradictions and lack trust and cooperation.

3. Most rich countries in the Middle East rely on oil resources for development, while countries with relatively developed education and industry, such as Egypt, are poor because of limited oil resources, which intensifies the contradictions between countries.

4. The population growth of countries in the Middle East is too fast, and the population growth rate of countries such as Egypt far exceeds the economic growth rate. Therefore, even when the Egyptian economy entered a glorious period in previous years, the unemployment rate still rose sharply, which aggravated internal contradictions.

5. With the war on terror in the United States, extreme religious forces in the Middle East also vigorously publicized that this was the suppression of Islam by the West, which made many people who were dissatisfied with the status quo join in and their forces gained great development. Palestinians and Lebanese, extremist forces Hamas and Hezbollah won the election easily, which aggravated the chaos in the Middle East.

Reasons for Western Coalition Forces' Air Attacks on Libya

Libya is the eighth largest oil exporter in the world, and western oil groups have invested heavily in Libya. In order not to infringe on their own interests, and to prevent Gaddafi, who is good at changing his political attitude towards the West, from remaining in power, they seized this opportunity to attack Libya and oust Gaddafi. Moreover, the coup was originally instigated by the American Internet. Their purpose is to kill Gaddafi by others and find reasons for sending troops. The purpose of the French invasion is more complicated. Most countries in North Africa were once its colonies, and Libya was no exception. As the former sovereign state of Libya, France feels obligated to take care of it. In fact, this reason is untenable. People have been independent for decades, and you have nothing to do with it. The only thing that matters is oil, which fully reflects its hypocrisy. The purpose of Britain is relatively clear. It does not want Libyan oil to end up in the hands of France and the United States. Of course, it must be involved. Capitalist countries are like this, and they can do whatever it takes for their own interests. Hypocrisy for human rights, for freedom.
