lpv:translated text	"The events in North Africa have resulted in a new migration flow on Europe’s southern border. While we ponder solutions to this acute problem, we also need to examine its causes. The fall of the Arab dictatorships may be one of the major turning points in global politics since the collapse of the Iron Curtain some 20 years ago. It is, above all, a tremendous chance for democracy and civil rights. Like all revolutions, this one also entails a risk. At its most critical, it is visible when dictators who abuse their powers threaten their own citizens, as is happening in Libya. Europe and its allies cannot and should not just sit idly by while there is unrest on its borders. We have one common mission: we need to do all we can to protect the lives of innocent citizens, including women and children, when no one else can. The democratisation of North Africa, a respect for human rights, and the emerging economic growth associated with these are the best way to stem the human tide on Europe’s southern border."@en1
