Sithetha namhlanje ukuphikisa ukwenziwa komthetho osayilwayo "waseLibya wokuSonjululwa kwaMabango" kusalindwe phambi kweNdlu yabameli.
Ngaphezulu kweminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo, safaka isimangalo phantsi komthetho wase-US wokuba iLibya ithathe uxanduva ngesi senzo sokubulala kunye nokuhlasela ngenqwelomoya kunye nokufumana imbasa yezomthetho kwimbuyekezo efanelekileyo. I-Libya kunye namagqwetha akhe balikhusele ngamandla eli tyala kwasekuqaleni, kwaye ngoJanuwari ophelileyo u-2008, inkundla yomanyano eWashington, DC yakhupha isigwebo ngokuchasene neLibya State, inkundla yomanyano kuphela eyayiza kunikezelwa ngokuchasene neLibya kwezo meko.

Umthetho osayilwayo "weSigqibo samaBango aseLibya" esalindelwe phambi kweNdlu yabaMeli iya kuthi, ukuba ivunyiwe, yaphule injongo yeCongress ethi, ukusukela ngo1996, isivumele thina nabanye ukuba bathathe ityala lethu balise kwiNkundla ngokuchasene neLibya, bafune ukugwetywa koxanduva. fumana ibhaso elisemthethweni lembuyekezo efanelekileyo. Phantsi komthetho wase-US, ibingumgaqo-nkqubo weSizwe wethu ukwenza uxhaso lukarhulumente lobunqolobi lubize kakhulu ukuze yona kunye namanye amazwe, afana ne-Iran, bacinge kabini ngaphambi kokuba baqale babulale abantu baseMelika abamsulwa.
Ewe, siyabaxhasa abo sele bewalungisile amabango abo ngokuchasene neLibya kwaye sinethemba lokuba bazakufezekisa ubulungisa obupheleleyo, kodwa nakuphi na ukuhlaliswa kwamanye amaxhoba akufuneki kube yinkcitho kwabo baye balwa kwaye baphumelela kwiinkundla. Iinkundla zithathe isigqibo sokuba iLibya yenze uhlaselo lwe-UTA 772 kwaye yasinika imbuyekezo phantsi komthetho. Lo Mthetho uYilwayo uza kusichitha isigwebo senkundla, kwaye uvumele iLibya ukuba ithintele isigwebo senkundla. Le nto ayinakuba yile nto iCongress inenjongo yayo. Sinethemba lokuba iCongress izakusebenza nawo onke amaxhoba ase-US kubunqolobi base-Libyan ukunyanzelisa izigwebo zenkundla yase-US egameni labo.
