Brief and less complex interventions were also unsuccessful in ending violent crises – and in some cases even exacerbated them. A clear example is the recent Egyptian airstrikes in Libya, which have not only undermined the UN-led peace process in a deeply divided country, but have also empowered the most extreme elements.
时间较短且不那么复杂的干预也未能成功结束暴力危机——在某些情况下甚至令危机进一步加剧。最近埃及空袭利比亚就是明显的实例，埃及的空袭不仅破坏了这个严重分裂国家由联合国主导的和平进程，并且使某些最极端份子借此扩充势力。
