리비아 사태와 국제사회 개입

리비아 내전 사태가 장기화되면서 미국과 영국, 프랑스 등 나토회원국이 크루주미사일과 전투기를 동원 리비아군을 공습하고 있다. 과연 이러한 국제사회의 개입이 정당한 것인지, 또 리비아의 미래가 어떻게 될 것인지를 국제정치 전문가를 초청해 토론을 벌인다. 이와 함께 이런 중동의 문제가 북한 사회의 인권과 대치상태에 어떻게 영향을 미칠지도 논의한다.

Has anyone seen this film called "Blindness"? It is adopted from the novel "Blindness" by Jose Saramago (조제 사라마구)  that won the novel prize in literature in 1998.

It is about everyone in the city suddenly becoming blind except this one person.
She witnesses how people degrade themselves when the law and the social order disappear.
I have to confess that this movie is not comfortable to watch at all.

People gradually start to live like animals because everyone knows they can’t see each other.
People excrete anywhere; kill each other over food, rape while animals running around eating the dead bodies on the street. While seeing all these chaos, when she could have done something to restore the order, this woman  pretends that she is also blind and remains silent.

I was more frustrated with the main character than the violence of the movie.

Because she had everything to restore the peace since she was the only one with the eyes but it took her such a long time to realise that.

But then I was thinking that she might be representing us, our weakness in holding ourselves to challenge ourselves and risk ourselves to achieve the dream that we dreamt when we have all the potentials in us.

It is not easy of course. To fight for what you love and what you believe in.

We have prepared all three songs
We will send you the first song of the show Holy Daughter by Leonie Casanova.

3. Song 1 ? Holy Daughter by Leonie Casanova

4. Bridge 멘트

That was Holy Daughter by Leonie Casanova.
Once again U.S., British and other NATO forces are bombarding an Arab country with cruise missiles and bunker-busting bombs.
U.S. President Barack Obama promised that intervention would be short ? a matter of days, not weeks.And British Prime Minister David Cameron said that international involvement would be limited to stopping Colonel Qaddafi’s violence.Will the allies meet their stated goal of limited intervention? or Will this "humanitarian" intervention break out into another full-scale war? What will be the fate of Libya in the years to come?

Tonight on Let’s Talk Busan we have three international relations specialists to untangle these complicated issues developing in Libya.Do you feel that foreign intervention is necessary in Libya? Or do you feel quite sceptical about this? Tell us what you think to #9050  or call us at 051 663 0061 0r 0062.To get to know the background, we have Nahyun in the studio. Nahyun, what kind of country is Libya?


5. Nahyun Reportage

To understand the Libyan unrest, it is absolutely necessary to go back to 1951. Before that Libya was Italian colony. It was one of the poorest country without any hope until the oil was discovered in 1959 which made the country wealthy. Just like someone winning 100m $ jackpot.So what made Libya fall into the category of third world despite the reserves of oil? The oil could have been a happy ending for Libyans after having colonised by Italians. But then this young 27 yr old general called Muammar al Gaddaffi seized power in 1969 and overthrew the king Idris and from then on, Gaddaffi practised dictatorship ever since.

So this year is his 43rd year right? You said Libya was under dictatorship. So it is predictable to say that Libya was just like Tunisia and Egypt under oppressive regime.

Yes. We did mention about the situation in Libya on February 28th at Let’s Talk Busan. Strong censorship in media, military totalitarian regime and no freedom of speech whatsoever while the their leader was indulging personal enrichment, violating human right, monopoly, nepotism etc. Which falls into one of the country that was under strong wave of Jasmine revolution. Except unlike their fellow countries that succeeded in ousting their leaders, the situation in Libya started to turn slightly differently.

So tell us what has happened.It first started off as what it seemed like an organised protest in Benghazi. But ever since Gadaffi deployed tanks, aircraft, foreign mercernaries to respond the protest, the protests have turned into revolt.

Obviously none of the protests are televised but they are twittered, youtubed and facebooked. More than hundreds of videos from these Social Network Sites show the people bounded with their hands on the back shot dead and the skulls being shattered, the thick blood floodiing on the muddy street.

This has caught the growing concern from the international community and eventually led the external pressure. So until here, it followed the similar patterns to Tunisia and Egypt.

Well it was reported that at first Gadaffi seemed to negotiate with anti-government force. But is it true that while everyone’s attention was in Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant, Gadaffi started to massacre the anti-government force?


Yeah that’s right. Gadaffi originally called for case fire but United States, Britain and France declared that cease-fire announcement was not enough. So on March 19th, the military campaign against Col.Gadaffi was launched under British and French leadership under President Nicolas Sarkozy.

So what about condemnation of Russia and China for their abstention from the UN vote and their criticism of alleged civilian casualties? Is it true that civilian casualties are occuring because of the allied force?

Well opinions are divided. On 24th the US chief of staff for the mission in Libya has insisted there have been no reports of civilian casualties caused by allied action on.
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12843741)

We are not sure which one is true. It is reported that after the attack by the coalition force, many civilians were killed however US secretary Robert Gates have said that it is Gadaffi who takes the bodies of the people he’s killed and putting them at the sites where the alliance has attacked. (http://arabnews.com/middleeast/article331462.ece)

Meanwhile this Libyan woman being raped by 15 Gadaffi officers were also covering the all the headlines yesterday (27th March).

So what we have right now is each side arguing that others are killing more civilians than they are .

No one will know which one is true. But what is sure about this is that it is the civilians at the end who are suffering between the Gadaffi and the alliance.

Well thank you Nahyun. So today’s show is your last show with us. How do you feel?

Nahyun : Well I have to say, I feel I am fortunate enough to be the part of the show. While working with the team of Let’s Talk Busan, I have learnt so much. This show is truly special.
Where in Busan, would you find a radio show in English that deal with the current political issue? Also we actually bring the specialists who are in the heart of that very issue. So we could get the insight into the issue in depth that you will probably have hard time finding it anywhere in the newspapers or on the internet. I am sad that I am no longer going to be the part of this but I know that I will keep look out for the show!

Thank you Nahyun. I wish you so much success in the future. Coming up next after the song break, we will hear from experts on the allies’ intervention in Libya. Stay in tune to hear all your answers to these questions.



 6.Song2 Butterfly by Kortni

7. Talk of the Town

You are now listening to Let’s Talk Busan. Will wee see another break out into another full-scale war? As the tensions over Libyan air-space is growing, there are many questions evolving around that.

What about North Korea? Surely Gadaffi is not better than North Korean Kim Jong il’s regime. Is it because the alliance has another agenda?

We have three international political relationship specialists. We will discuss the fate of Libya linking with North Korea. Good Evening everyone.

Could you please introduce yourself?

Guests:

Q1. Both David Cameron and Barack Obama insist this is nothing like Iraq. There will be no occupation. The attack is solely to protect civilians. Are they being realistic here?


Q2. Should the intervention be limited to protecting civilians, as initially defined by allies, or should it be more extensive, including

-       removing the Colonel;

-       instituting democracy

-       full scale intervention vs. selective containment


Q3. Divide in the UN Security Council.

-       5 permanent members divided: US, UK, France vs. Russia, China

-       Why are Russian and Chinese lukewarm?

-       Will we see this type of divide in the future? Possibly on NK?

 

Q4. Colonel Qaddifi: arguably the Arab world’s most violent despot. He has backed terrorism and assassinated dissidents. Should he be replaced?


-       Does he have an exit strategy? What is his strategy?

-       If he is replaced, what kind of Libya will emerge? Political vaccume?

-       If he is not replaced, will it constrain the international community’s future options?

 

Q5. Libya

-       Libya 2011 vs. Iraq 2003: similarities or differences?

-       Is it a battle of dictator against a democratic opposition, or is it fundamentally a tribal civil war?

-       What will Libya look like ten-years from now? (divided; democratic;)

 

Q6. The legitimacy/efficiency of intervention (pros vs. cons):

-       When is foreign intervention justified?

-       Should foreign leaders (despots) be forced out?

-       Does Libya meet these criteria?


Q7. Lessons for the Korean peninsula

-       The A-Bomb and North Korea:

-       Ghadaffi (voluntarily) gave up the bomb (or plans to build a bomb) when Iraq was invaded. Did this move backfire for him?

-       What will NK learn from this?

-       Will we continue to see the cold war divide (3:2) in the UN for North Korea?


Final Comments:

-       Are you for intervention or against intervention in Libya? Why?


Prof. Will Pore. You believe that US involvement over Libya is not carefully planned? Is that right?


US, UK, France:
- on what issues are they on accord and on what issues do they disagree?
- can the alliance last?


Russia, China
- why are they lukewarm?

What did you think of the show? What is your thought? Also if you found our show useful and would like to re-listen, get on to www.befm.or.kr. To download the clip.

LTB is Planned and produced by byung Chul Lee of the Busan Ilbo.
Reported by Nahyun Kim
engineered by Ken Shin
and the hosted by me, Lim Suk jun


Sometimes we feel that we are too small to change the world, that our voices are not loud enough to be heard. So we are discouraged, shut our eyes, pretending that what we see is not what it is. We become the part of the audience.

Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian novelist, said everyone of us has a child inside that cries out. We can stifle its cries but we cannot silence its voice. We should never be embarrassed by the honest remarks that this child makes because he/she is the only one who understands the miracle of believing.

With our last song, we would like to encourage you to go out and conquer your dream. Never be the audience, be the driver of your life!
