Libya shoots at us and we keep a low profile

by time news

Egypt takes us in the face by telling us a constellation of fake news relating to the murder of the researcher Giulio Regeni, tortured and killed in Egyptian prisons.

Egypt has always held in prison, guilty and preventively for months, Patrick Zaki, our honorary fellow citizen and student of the University of Bologna.

Libya, for its part, has imprisoned our compatriots for over a year, 18 fishermen from Mazara del Vallo and now not only shoots at an Italian fishing boat but also wounds the commander risking to kill him.

And in all this situation where is our formidable Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio?

Perhaps too busy attacking the leaders of RAI (also made by his Movement) for the censorship of Fedez, the young rising star of politics, a man of the left but with a swollen wallet on the right?

But how, they keep telling us that Italy is a country that counts, founder of the European Union, a union that would not stand up without us and then we let ourselves be taken on slopes by two countries that certainly do not shine for democracy ?

But does Mr. Minister know that it is very serious (almost an act of war) that a Libyan military patrol boat on May 6, a couple of days ago in international waters deliberately fires at eye level, aiming at the cabin of our boat, to kill?

The Commander of the Aliseo fishing boat, Giuseppe Giacalone, was slightly injured, but only by a stroke of luck nothing worse happened to him and to the other seven crewmen.

And U.S?

What are we waiting for?

Are we working by maintaining a low profile or are we not doing anything because we don’t have the attributes to do anything?

At least, if the Italian government is away, we Italians can move and cancel all trips, stays in Egypt for at least a year.

We owe it to Regeni, to Zaki and last but not least to the honor of our country.

For Libya, such an act certainly cannot be done but at least let’s raise our voices, let us be heard, escort our fishing boats.

Anything that makes Libyans understand that we exist and that we are not just “talk and badge”
