Why Libya Commemorates the "Black Day" Like most of the peoples of the Third World, the people of Libya have suffered, and are still suffering, great injustices from the Western powers. The history of the Libyan people is a history of blood, tears and broken bones. The people of Libya have been terrorised and victimised for many decades by the various European powers. They are still being terrorised. With the tacit approval of the British and French governments, Italy declared war on Libya on September 12, 1911, under the excuse that the Ottoman Turks — who were then ruling Libya were subject to insults and maltreatment for which they were in danger! On September 17, 1911, the Italians invaded Tripoli and Benghazi. The Italians expected that their invasion of Libya would be easily accomplished. But, to their horror, their aggression was courageously and strongly resisted by the Libyan people. For 20 terrible years Arab Libyan resistance fighters and guerrillas fought against Italian fascists with sweat and blood. The courage of the Libyan martyrs was epitomised by Sheikh Omar al Mukhtar. Italian Fascist Terrorism The Italian aggression against Libya was extremely brutal. Thousands of innocent men, women and children were killed. Their homes were burnt down, their crops destroyed, their wells filled with cement, and copies of their Koran stepped upon. Many women were raped. Thousands of other Libyans were detained in concentration camps in the hot desert. Their properties were confiscated. Thousands of others perished under the most repressive conditions. On October 26, 1911, the Italian fascist invaders shipped thousands of Libyan men, women and children to some small and remote Italian islands. It was a black day for Libya. To this very day, nobody knows about the fate of these human beings: how many have died and under what circumstances: how many still survive and where they are and how they are. Up to this very day, the Italian authorities have refused to furnish the full list of these Libyan victims to the Government and People of Libya. Italy is continuing with its crimes against humanity. Furthermore, the Italians, during their years of terrorism in Libya, had laid about 170,000 landmines all over Libya. These landmines have killed and are continuing to kill many Libyans. Italy has refused to furnish maps showing where these landmines were laid. This is the true measure and colour of human rights in the Italian 'civilization'. When Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist dictator, was carrying on his terrorism against the Libyan people, he was highly praised by British, French and American politicians, business leaders and the press. For instance, on a visit to Mussolini in 1927, Winston Churchill told journalists that Italian fascism "has rendered a service to the whole world." In 1933 American President Franklin Roosevelt himself termed Mussolini "that admirable Italian gentleman." Justice for Libya By any humane and civilised standard it is only just and proper that Italy should: 1.Acknowledge its historical crimes against the people of Libya 2.Furnish all details about the thousands of Libyans forcibly exiled onto some Italian islands 3.Furnish maps showing where thousands of Italian landmines were laid in Libya 4.Pay full compensation to the families of all victims of Italian terrorism 5.Return all historical treasures and artifacts stolen from Libya 6.The international community should fully support such just demands of the Libyan people. 7.The people of the world should also condemn unreservedly the continuing terrorism against Libya by the American, British and French governments with regard to the highly unjust sanctions imposed on Libya since 1992 over spurious and slanderous charges over the Lockerbie and UTA air crashes. These charges are blatant lies.

   I crimini commessi dai fascisti in Africa sono una delle pagine più vergognose della storia d'Italia
2. Emunah, on January 7th, 2009 at 12:55:07 Said:
   i think ur unaware of the dimension called 'time', u see its kinda needed when assessing basic situations... When europe decieded to turn libya in to a battle field for ur war, libyans never even laid a finger on europe or the italians. only after europe occupied, bombarded and used libya, did libyans wake up and realise that europeans only know the language of blood and money... to this day nothing has changed... u dnt mess with us, we wont mess with u, basic understanding

   it was a dark era for libya, italy has aologised on many ocasions and mussolini was got the punishment he deserved from the italians themselves. Thus libyans should forgive, but we can never forget...
4. Orland, on January 7th, 2009 at 13:41:05 Said:
   the irony is that today libya and italy hav much better relations with eachother than even libya and egypt or tunisia or algeria... Italy has apologised 3 times, under 3 differant prime ministers, they hav compensated us in the billions, and hav helped us during our times of hardship, Mussolini got his punishment from his own ppl, who hung him and his generals upside down like dogs. Italy and libya can now start a new era of comradeship as equal partners

   Peccato che i nostri politici gli costruiscono gratis le autostrade e altre infrastrutture!... Che strano paese è il nostro.
6. Bayhard, on January 7th, 2009 at 14:27:03 Said:
   non ci fu alcuna violenza di stampo raziale in Libia, come in Etiopia o Eritrea. sicuramente nella lotta anti-guerriglieri le truppe di Graziani ci sono andate giù molto duramente, ma si trattava di guerriglia e ci si avvicinava alla seconda guerra mondiale.
7. ROSEMARIE, on January 7th, 2009 at 14:50:02 Said:
   They were prisons for partisans, if you fight in a war and get captured you go to prison. Italy itself was starving at that point do you think they are going to give food to prisoners instead of good citizens? If you want to know about war crimes look up "foibe". Thousands of Italians were ethnically cleansed by Yugoslavs after they invaded Italian Istria.

    "The people of Libya have been terrorised and victimised for many decades by the various European powers." So what? Libyans have terrorised Europeans for decades.

    BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Non se ne può più di ste storie..... La Libia non è mai stata "invasa" dagli italiani, era stata ceduta all'Italia dalla Turchia nel 1911-1912 a seguitoo della sconfitta di quest'ultima e piantiamola di parlare di crimini solo perchè hanno impiccato quattro terroristi (di più dovevano impiccarne....visti i risultati......)
21. Kalei, on January 7th, 2009 at 20:11:48 Said:
    as i hated the crimes of Italians i hated the crimes of libyans who ruled after them and still on for 40 years ! screw the 5 billion $ libya isn't poor country we don't need those money i admire the admitting of their Crimes and the apology of them and that's enough . but those 5 billion is a neo-colonialism of Libya.
