【新唐人2011年2月25日讯】中东和北非的反独裁示威浪潮持续扩大。近日,统治利比亚40多年的“狂人”卡扎菲,效仿中共六四事件,残暴屠杀抗议民众,遭到国际社会强烈谴责和制裁。利比亚政府高官、军队警察、驻外使节纷纷倒戈,利比亚第二大、第三大等多个城市相继起义,卡扎菲政权摇摇欲坠。
突尼斯和埃及的“茉莉花革命”,引发利比亚各地民众大规模和平抗议示威,总统卡扎菲穷凶极恶死保独裁政权,2月21、22号连续两天派战机轰炸首都的黎波里,动用坦克和雇佣军开枪射杀抗议民众,甚至连救护车也扫射。
国际人权联合会说,利比亚至少已有700人被杀﹔另有1400人失踪。而意大利外长23号指出,利比亚的镇压已造成超过一千人丧生。
美国总统欧巴马23号首度谴责说:“这些苦难和流血事件令人发指,是无法接受的﹔恫吓并下令射杀和平抗议者,以及加剧处罚利比亚人民也一样。这些都违反国际普遍准则,必须停止这种暴行!”
欧巴马指出,利比亚政府必须对其行动承担一切责任。美国政府正在考虑对利比亚实施双边或多边制裁。
欧盟谴责卡扎菲的暴行与恐吓,并决定对利比亚进行制裁,其中可能包括禁发签证和资产冻结。法国和德国呼吁欧盟考虑暂停同利比亚的经贸关系。德国总理默克尔指出,卡扎菲已向利比亚人民宣战。
联合国安理会敦促卡扎菲结束暴力行为。联合国人权高级专员皮莱(Navi Pillay)呼吁对利比亚政府镇压示威者展开调查,并指出这种暴行可能构成反人类罪。
秘鲁率先宣布与利比亚断绝外交关系。阿拉伯联盟已暂停了利比亚的成员资格。
英国首相卡梅伦22号在科威特议会发表演说,他谴责卡扎菲暴力镇压的同时,坦承英国曾经为了稳定,而支持了一些专制政权是错误的。
他说:“几十年来,一些人辩论说,稳定需要高压政权的统治,而那些改革和开放将导致不稳定。最近(中东)发生的事件证实了,否定人民的基本权利并不能维持稳定,而是恰恰相反。”
目前,利比亚民众的抗议活动不断扩大,要求卡扎菲下台的呼声越来越高。被视为卡扎菲政权二号人物的内务部长阿比迪,与司法部长等高官,相继辞职倒戈。卡扎菲儿子赛义夫的一位高级助理萨万尼也辞职抗议。
利比亚军方也出现反对卡扎菲的声浪,东部的军队已经倒戈,东部军队的最高指挥官马赫穆德少将说:卡扎菲俨然是一位暴君。他指出,卡扎菲一死,利比亚就会因为内战而分裂的说法是一种宣传。
目前,反对派和哗变的军队已经占据了利比亚整个东半部地区,包括第二大城市班加西(Benghazi),他们成立了当地的临时政府。
23号,第三大城市米苏拉塔(Misurata)成为第一座由反对派控制的西部大型城市。西部其他城市和南部城市也都有示威发生。利比亚多个城市相继起义,与当年辛亥革命中国许多省市纷纷起义独立颇为相似。
与此同时,越来越多的利比亚驻外大使辞职抗议血腥镇压示威,利比亚驻埃及领事馆降半旗致哀。利比亚驻美国大使以及驻联合国大多数官员,都呼吁卡扎菲立即下台,以避免更多的流血。
22号卡扎菲在电视讲话中,以中共出动军队坦克镇压天安门学生运动为例,气势汹汹为自己武力镇压民众辩护。
当年参与天安门运动的旅英民主人士邵江说:“卡扎菲是在给自己镇压寻找借口。实际上,天安门镇压模式在整个世界中产生的反响是非常巨大的,都是把它当作一个非常负面的,就是政府残酷镇压和平示威请愿的示威者。那他实际上从整个独裁者中和专制政府中,恐怕能找到的最恶劣的就是中国了。”
在严控网络舆论的同时,中共官方媒体继续作淡化和歪曲报导,极力维护卡扎菲的形象,把抗议民众说成恐怖份子,封锁利比亚当局射杀抗议民众的实情。
不光是欧美国家,甚至连被视为盟友的伊朗和哈马斯政权,23号也谴责利比亚当局向示威者使用武力。而在24号中共外交部记者会上,外交部发言人马朝旭再度拒绝谴责利比亚针对平民使用武力。
卡扎菲以天安门血腥屠杀作自我辩护,在海内外中国网民中引起一片哗然。有推特网友指出,这让全球人们看到,原来独裁者对人民的血腥镇压,是一脉相承的。
外界评论指出,在反独裁的历史洪流面前,卡扎菲和中共的专制暴行,会让更多的民众和官员觉醒,加速独裁政权的崩溃,同时加重独裁者自身的罪孽。而和平解体中共的希望,在于全民在退党大潮中抛弃中共。

International Condemnation of Gadhafi’s Atrocities Accelerates the Regime’s Demise
The anti-dictatorship wave in Middle East and North Africa continues to grow.
Recently, Libyan dictator Gadhafi mimicked the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre and brutally killed protesters.
This met with strong condemnation and sanctions from the international ommunity.
Libyan high-ranking officials, military and police officers and diplomats in foreign countries defected in succession.
Uprisings occurred in the 2nd and 3rd largest Libyan cities.Gadhafi’s dying regime is on the verge of collapsing.
The democratic movements in Tunisia and Egypt have led to large-scale peaceful protests throughout Libya.
Its despot Gadhafi desperately held on to his power by ordering warplanes to continuously bomb the Libyan capital Tripoli on Feb. 21 and 22.Tanks and mercenaries fired at protesters and ambulances.
International Federation of Human Rights said,at least 700 people were killed and 1400 went missing.Italian foreign minister said on Feb. 23 that over 1000 died.
President Obama condemned Gadhafi’s atrocitieson Feb. 23 for the first time:
“The suffering and bloodshed is outrageous and it is unacceptable. So are threats and orders to shoot peaceful protesters and further punish the people of Libya. These actions violate international norms and every standard of common decency. This violence must stop."
Obama said, the Libyan government must take full responsibilities for its actions. The U.S. is considering bilateral or multilateral sanctions.
EU condemned Gadhafi’s atrocities and decided to implement sanctions against Libya (e.g. freezing assets).
France and Germany urged EU to suspend its economic relationship with Libya. German Chancellor Merkel said Gadhafi has declared war on the Libyan people.
UN Security Council urged Gadhafi to end the violence. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay called for an investigation of the crackdown. Such violence may constitute “crimes against humanity."
Peru was the first to sever diplomatic ties with Libya. The Arab League has suspended Libya’s membership.
In his speech at Kuwait’s parliament on Feb. 22,British PM Cameron condemned the violent crackdown.He admitted that in the name of stability, UK’s support to authoritarian regimes is wrong.
Cameron: “For decades, some have argued that stability required highly ontrolling regimes and that reform and openness would put stability at risk.
As recent events have confirmed, denying people their basic rights does not preserve stability. In fact, it does the reverse."
The Libyan people’s protests are continuously growing.Calls for Gadhafi to step down are gaining momentum.His senior officials and the regime’s previous No. 2
Interior Minister Abdel Fattah Younes al Abidi defected.Gaddafi’s son Saif’s senior assistant Youssef Sawani also resigned and joined the protestors.
Libya’s military also started to oppose Gadhafi. The army in Eastern Libya have defected.Its commander Major General Suleiman Mahmoud said: Gadhafi is nothing but a tyrant. He pointed out that the argument that Gaddafi’s death would plunge Libya into a civil war is a propaganda.
Currently, the opposition and rebel troops occupied Libya’s eastern half, including 2nd largest city Benghazi.They have set up a local interim government.
On Feb. 23, the 3rd largest city Misurata became the 1st major western city controlled by the opposition. Demonstrations occurred in western and southern cities.Several cities in Libya have been uprising, similar to China’s evolution of 1911, when many provinces and cities were uprising and declared independence.
More and more Libyan ambassadors in foreign posts resign in protest of the bloody crackdown on protestors.Libyan consulate in Egypt flew flags at alf-mast.
Libyan ambassadors to the U.S. and officials at UN all urge Gadhafi to step down to avoid more bloodshed.
On Feb. 22, in a televised speech, Gadhafi used CCP’s Tiananmen Massacre as an example,aggressively defending his violent crackdown.
Tiananmen movement participant Shao Jiang:Gadhafi was looking for an excuse for his suppression. Tiananmen crackdown model had huge repercussions.The whole world views it as very negative. Authorities brutally suppressed peaceful demonstrators. Among all the dictators and totalitarian regimes,I think the Chinese government is the worst.
While strictly controlling online public opinion,CCP’s official media continue to report distorted facts, going all out to defend Gadhafi’s image.They described the protestors as terrorists, and blocked the truth about the bloody crackdown.
Besides the U.S. and Europe, even its perceived allies Iran and Hamas also condemned Libya’s crackdown.However, on CCP’s foreign affairs press conference
held on Feb. 24, its spokesperson Ma Chaoxu refused again to condemn Libya’s use of force.
Gadhafi’s use of Tiananmen Massacre as self-defense caused an uproar among Chinese netizens. Some Twitter users have pointed out that this shows all the people in the world, bloody suppressions by dictators are all the same.
Commentators pointed out, in the historic wave of anti-authoritarian movements, Gadhafi and the CCP’s authoritarian brutality will awake more people and
accelerate the regimes’ collapse. The hope of peacefully disintegrating the CCP
is the people’s abandonment of CCP by quitting it.
