BCJP Calls for Peace in the Middle East

BCJP Call for peace in the Middle East
The Bangsamoro Center for Justpeace Inc. (BCJP) condemns the US-led war of aggressions against the people of Libya. This wide scope military action to intervene the internal conflict between the government of President Muammar Quaddafi and the opposition was done by virtue of a UN Resolution that resulted in the operation called "Operations Odyssey Dawn".
To bomb Libya, in order to overthrow the Kaddafi government on the pretext of “humanitarian intervention is total hypocrisy and will only worsen the situation. Why are these great western powers exhibiting such concern for the seven million or so Libyans?
Aside from the truth having been exposed especially with regard to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, why these powers were not concerned about the lives lost and the destruction wreaked on Gaza when it was being bombarded by Israel in 2009, or when Palestinian refugees were massacred in Sabra-Shatilla in 1982? Why are they not as quick to condemn and call for international intervention - diplomatic, economic and military – against the continuing mailed-fist treatment of unarmed protestors in other North African states such as Egypt and Yemen and those in the Middle East such as Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet? Bahrain has already declared martial law, killed scores of demonstrators, and has welcomed 1000 elite Saudi Arabian troops to help quell the unrest.
Why are they tolerating the mercilessly killings of a pro-democracy civilians and monks in a peaceful protests rally against the military regime in Burma in 2009? In the Philippines, the martial law alone caused the lives of about 120,000 to 160,000 lives mostly of the Moro Peoples. The biggest lost due to massacres in the 70s. The big wars continue on the backyards of the Moro Peoples that until now caused unaccounted lives. The 2001 all out war policy of President Joseph Estrada that commemorated its 9th anniversary on March 21 caused the displacement of thousands of innocent civilians and millions worth of properties destroyed and burned yet did somebody ever cried for "international community intervention?
Today there are still a little less than a hundred thousand (accumulated) number of IDPs who are victims of the 2008 Military Surgical Operations who have not yet returned to their places of origin as they have nothing to return. They have suffered much longer than the Libyan people, however the International community particularly the UN is blind, voiceless and deaf.














BCJP also criticizes the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference for its failure to resolve the Libyan political crisis and violence without calling on foreign intervention. The Arab League and OIC are tooth-less tigers. The political crisis and violence have brought the scourge of violence and Western imperialism to Libya and her people in the guise of saving the Libyans from Colonel Moammar al-Gadhafi could be the long-sought excuse the Western world was waiting for to get into the Libyan oil pie and help themselves.
We call on to all peace loving people, CSOs, peace movements and human rights defenders all over the world to lend their voice to the call for peace in the Middle East. Demand and urge their respective government’s involvement in facilitating peace and cessation of violence between western forces and Middle Eastern governments.

No to US led war of aggression in Libya!
Stop the Operation Odyssey Dawn Now!
