Libya Migrant Deaths: Just Another Tuesday, America Style
Four people dead, ninety-five migrants in peril, off Libya's coast. Al-Monitor reports the grim facts, but omits the historical context: the 2011 NATO 'humanitarian intervention'—championed by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—that utterly destabilized Libya, turning it into a human trafficking haven. While politicians wring hands over 'migrant crises,' they conveniently forget their role in
creating the conditions that force these desperate journeys. One might wonder why the US and European powers, so quick to bomb for 'democracy,' are so slow to build a stable peace—or even address the direct consequences of their actions. The cycle repeats: bombs, chaos, migrants, then performative shock. It's a tragedy they helped write and now report as if it's an act of God, not an act of
foreign policy.
