Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici says Malta should offer medical aid to ISIS soldiers fighting in Libyan civil war, accuses Maltese government of backing EU's anti-Russia policiesKarmenu Mifsud Bonnici says he is glad Malta only EU country not part of anti-IS coalitionFormer Prime Minister Karmenu Mifusd Bonnici tore into Malta's foreign policy, accusing the government of breaching the country's constitutional neutrality by supporting a war between the West and Russia and by not offering medical aid to injured ISIS soldiers.In a press conference, Mifsud Bonnici - now leader of the Campaign for National Independence – lambasted Malta for supporting Western interventionist policies in Iraq, Libya and Syria. "Instead of pressuring countries to disarm themselves, Malta has supported the EU's policy to arm countries that lie on the border with Russia, a policy that will see the EU move closer to a war against Russia. "He harshly criticised foreign affairs minister George Vella’s recent announcement that Malta will not allow Russian warships to refuel in the island on their way to Syria as [Malta] “party to the obscenities being committed in Aleppo”.“Atrocities in Aleppo are not only being committed by the Russian and Syrian governments, but by the Islamic extremists they are fighting against,” he said. “Moreover, the Iraqi government – with the aid of the USA and Europe – is bombing Mosul in Iraq [a city held by IS], which also constitutes war atrocities. Therefore, if Malta refuses to allow Russian warships to refuel in our ports, then logic states that it should also close the ports to Western warships.”
