The Italian commander, Miani, whom my friend [Silvio] Berlusconi now denounces, as he denounces the invasion.....Modern Italy is a friend and denounces imperialism, condemning the aggression against Libya and considering, along with us, that the colonial project was unjust and, indeed, a failure. Today, it has been replaced by friendship and cooperation between two peoples which used to have the relationship of colonizer and colonized.
Il condamne cette invasion, et l &apos; Italie moderne est aujourd &apos; hui un pays ami qui condamne la colonisation et l &apos; invasion de la Libye et considère comme nous que le projet colonial était un projet injuste et voué à l &apos; échec, qui a désormais laissé place à l &apos; amitié et à la coopération entre des peuples qui auparavant se colonisaient les uns les autres.
