  人民網4月29日訊 (安國章) 中東媒體報道說,盡管英國政府一再說不會向利比亞派地面部隊,也不是要推翻卡扎菲政權,但英國國防部卻准備向利比亞靠近突尼斯邊界地區部署部隊,理由是為了保護難民。

  利比亞危機爆發以來,西方大國強烈譴責卡扎菲政府鎮壓民眾,3月19日,法英美還開始對利比亞進行空襲,英國政府一再強調是為了保護利比亞老百姓,不會向利比亞派地面部隊,但沙特《利雅得報》今天報道說,據來自英國《獨立報》的消息,英國准備向利比亞靠近突尼斯邊界地區部署部隊,這一建議是英國國防大臣福克斯提出的。理由是保護遭卡扎菲軍事打擊離開家園逃向突尼斯的難民,要在利比亞西部邊界地區建立安全區。《獨立報》引用福克斯在英國議會下院國防委員會的講話說,“我們將努力使議員們了解為什麼要在利比亞靠近突尼斯邊界地區部署部隊。”他同時強調,“我們這樣做是為了保護利比亞難民,並不不違反聯合國有關決議。”

  報道說,福克斯否認利比亞局勢處於膠著狀態,他指出,“利比亞危機還會持續幾個月,這並不說明戰場上戰勝不了對方,我們肯定會達到自己的目的。”福克斯強調,“空襲的黎波裡的指揮中心是合法的,即便那裡是卡扎菲和他家屬的住地也不違反聯合國有關決議,因為那裡不是休假別墅,而是軍事據點。”報道評論說,英國已經向利比亞反政府武裝派去了10名軍事顧問,這實際是為武裝反對派鋪路。

  對於英國的做法和表態,俄羅斯持強烈反對立場。“今日俄羅斯電視台”引用俄羅斯外交部發言人阿列克謝。薩佐諾夫的話說,“北約有些國家向利比亞反對派提供武器,派遣軍事顧問和教官,這違反聯合國關於利比亞的有關決議,如果要保護利比亞老百姓,首先是實現停火,在外部支持下使利比亞對立雙方進行對話,而不是外部對利比亞局勢進行干預。”

  有中東分析人士指出,英國已向利比亞反政府武裝派了軍事顧問,現在又要向利比亞西部靠近突尼斯邊界地區部署部隊,這是向利比亞派遣地面部隊邁出的重要一步,推翻卡扎菲是英國確定的最后目標。

UK to deploy troops on Libyan border

British Defense Secretary Liam Fox has announced plans to deploy British troops on the Libyan border with Tunisia.


In a parliamentary session on Wednesday, Fox claimed the British troops will be dispatched to the border to enforce “safe havens” for more than 30,000 civilian refugees fleeing from attacks by Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi's troops, the Independent reported.

He also asserted that the troop deployment would be within the terms of a UN resolution authorizing military action in Libya.

Defying warnings that the UK may have to prepare itself for a long war, Fox reiterated that British operation in Libya “isn't time-limited.”

However, he rejected suggestions that the Libyan war has reached a stalemate, saying “politically, economically, [and] militarily, we are moving forward.”

Despite economic austerity measures adopted by the British government, the defense minister insisted that the required funds would be allocated to continue operations in Libya for as long as necessary.

“We are not going to be limited by pounds, shillings and pence but we have the resolve to see through the mission,” he said.

Since the revolution against Colonel Gaddafi's regime began in mid-February, tens of thousands have been killed and injured in clashes between Libyan revolutionaries and pro-Gaddafi forces.

US Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz estimated on Wednesday that the number of Libyan fatalities since the revolution in the North African country began may be as high as 30,000 people.

Meanwhile, many civilians have reportedly been killed since the Western coalition unleashed a major air campaign against Libyan forces on March 19 under a UN mandate, namely to “protect the Libyan population.”
