ISIL is Set to Attack Europe from Libya

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in a letter reveals their plan to storm Europe from Libya. They further revealed that they would do so by posing the members of the terrorist group as migrants into Europe.


Their choice of Libya is due to the countries rich potentialities that they could exploit which includes the proximity of the country to Europe; the abundance of weapons in Libya; being the weapons used during the Libya’s civil war; "the number of trips known as 'illegal immigration' from this coast, which are huge in number ... if this was even partially exploited and developed strategically, pandemonium could be wrought in the southern European states and it is even possible that there could be a closure of shipping lines and targeting of Crusader ships and tankers."

Italy's interior ministry confirmed this when they estimated that about 200,000 refugees were poised to cross from Libya to Sicily or the tiny island of Lampedusa; and that more than 170,000 crossed into Italy last year.

The ISIL has already started operative cells in Libya which released the video of the mass beheading of 21 Egyptian guest workers. This has prompted Egypt to launch retaliatory attacks on the ISIL’s camp in Libya.

The video included a khaki-clad terrorist pointing a blood-stained finger to the North saying: "We will conquer Rome, by Allah's permission."

LIMITATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: A FOCUS ON THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATIONS

By
Introduction International relations which was generally seen as relations among nations and entities in the international arena begets international organizations. An international organization is a union of actors in the international arena, formed to perform specified functions and/or solve identified problems for the members and/or non members. The concept of an international organization can also be seen on the one hand as a logical progression in the evolution of political entities from the basic family or tribal grouping of pre- and early historic times to the feudal arrangements of early Europe which emerged following Peace of Westaphalia in 1648 (Imber 1984).
