NATO PRESS RELEASE:
We will complete our mission, NATO Secretary General says
The NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen attended the International Conference on Libya in Paris on 1 September 2011. During the meeting, the Secretary General emphasised that “we are determined to continue our mission for as long as attacks and threats continue, but not a day longer than necessary.”
The Secretary General praised the successful implementation of the UN mandate. “From the very beginning, our mission has been to protect the Libyan people”, he said, “we have managed to prevent a massacre and countless lives have been saved”.
“Today, the future of Libya is in the hands of the Libyan people”, Mr. Rasmussen said, insisting that this future would have to rest on reconciliation, unity and rule of law, not on repression, division and injustice. While the United Nations will hold the leading role in supporting the Libyan people and the National transitional Council throughout that process, NATO stands ready to play a supporting role, if and when so requested.
Prior to the Conference, Mr. Rasmussen visited the base of the “Force Océanique Stratégique” on l’Aîle Longue (Finistère) together with the Minister of Defence, Mr. Gérard Longuet. On 2 September, he will meet with French President Sarkozy, as well as with French Foreign Alain Juppé to discuss a wide range of NATO-related issues, including Libya and Afghanistan.

SAS soldiers on Kadhafi hunt in Libya: report
LONDON — Special forces soldiers are in Libya hunting for fallen leader Moamer Kadhafi, who they believe is still in the country after neighbouring Algeria denied him entry, ITV News reported Wednesday.
Large numbers of Special Air Service (SAS) officers are using ships docked off the Libyan coast to launch searches for the elusive strongman and his network of supporters, a source in the country told the news provider.

Cardiff surgeon Nizar Mhani’s role in Libyan uprising
A surgeon from south Wales has spoken of his role at the forefront of the Libyan uprising.
Nizar Mhani, 30, left Cardiff for the Libyan capital Tripoli in February to “play his part” in overturning Col Gaddafi’s 42-year grip on the country.
After running a campaign of civil disobedience, Mr Mhani went underground after being publicly denounced and hunted by security forces.
He told BBC Radio Wales he had “a real urge” to be part of Libya’s history.
Mr Mhani spoke as the new interim leaders of Libya urged loyalist troops in their few remaining strongholds to surrender, and speculation spread about Col Gaddafi’s whereabouts.

Libya: The triumphalism of the US media
No doubt, the US and its NATO proxies tipped the military balance in favour of the Benghazi-based rebels. It’s hard for any government to defend itself when denied the use of its own airspace as enemy missiles and bombs blast away its infrastructure over the course of more than 20,000 sorties.
Still, it was Libyans who took the biggest risks and paid the highest price. They deserve the credit.

Aljazeera
The US has played a key role in the battle to end Muammar Gaddafi’s rule over Libya.
But Al Jazeera has uncovered evidence that influential Americans have been trying to help Gaddafi cling to power.
The officials involved are a member of the Congress and a former ambassador.
The documents were found in the offices of Libyan intelligence building, which was abandoned as Libyan fighters took over Tripoli.
Deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam has vowed on an Arabic TV channel to continue resistance, Reuters news agency reported.
He said Sirte has more than 20,000 armed youths.
“We would like to tell our people that we are well and good. The leader is fine. We are ready to fight. I tell our men to strike back against the rats,” he is quoted as saying on pro-Gaddafi TV.
China’s top official newspaper warned Western powers to let the United Nations lead post-war reconstruction in Libya, saying that Beijing would seek to defend its economic stake after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi, Reuters reported.
The People’s Daily laid bare Beijing’s qualms about the influence the US, European powers and NATO may claim in post-war Libya.
UK
Britain’s Royal Air Force flew in crates of freshly printed bank notes worth $227 million to Libya on Wednesday to help its new rulers pay public workers and banks to replenish cash machines.
The cash — 280 million Libyan dinars — is part of a consignment of new notes worth about $1.5 billion ordered from British printing company De La Rue Plc by Muammar Gaddafi which was blocked by Britain in March in one of the first moves to pressure the Libyan leader into easing a crackdown on protests.
Now National Transitional Council forces have overthrown Gaddafi, Britain is releasing the cash to ease the country’s cash flow problems. The remainder of the money will be delivered “shortly,” Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement
Saadi
Saadi Al-Gaddafi has said in a TV interview that he had his father’s authorisation to talk to National Transitional Council NTC to stop the bloodshed in Libya.
“We acknowledge that they (the NTC) represent a legal party, but we are also the government and a legal negotiating party,” he said.
Reuters
World leaders meet in Paris on Thursday to discuss Libya’s future, with hosts France and Britain hoping to show that a costly military campaign can lead to a political transition that avoids the mistakes of Iraq.
Big powers, gathered to coordinate the political and economic reconstruction of the oil-producing North African state, will also be jostling over business interests there.
Libya’s interim council has promised rewards for those who took a lead role in backing the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi.
“The objective is to turn the page and get behind the new authority,” a French government source said.
Russia
Russia recognised the NationalTransitional Council (NTC) as Libya’s legitimate authorities on Thursday, moving to increase its influence in postwar reconstruction and protect its economic interests in the oil-producing North African nation.
“The Russian Federation recognises the National Transitional Council as the current authorities and takes note of its declared reform programme, which calls for the development of a new constitution, the holding of general elections and the formation of a government,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
France
France has got approval to release 1.5 billion euros ($2.16 billion) of Libyan assets to help the country’s interim ruling council rebuild the country, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Thursday.
Juppe, interviewed on RTL radio shortly before the start of an international conference on Libya in Paris, said the situation in Libya had largely stabilised and it was time now to help the interim rulers after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
France revealed on Wednesday that it had asked the United Nations Sanctions Committee to unfreeze 1.5 billion euros ($2.16 billion) of a total 7.6 billion euros in assets parked in French banks.
“We have to help the National Transitional Council because the country is devastated, the humanitarian situation is difficult and there’s a lack of water, electricity and fuel,” Juppe said.
AP
Libyan rebels have captured Moammar Gadhafi’s foreign minister, a rebel official said Thursday.
Ahmed Said, an adviser to the interior minister in the rebels’ interim government, confirmed that the foreign minister had been captured but he did not identify him by name.
“We cannot give you details, but I can confirm that he is in custody,” Said said.
A week ago, Gadhafi’s Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told British broadcaster Channel 4 that Gadhafi’s 42-year rule was over.
Reuters
Ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is believed to be in the desert town of Bani Walid, about 150 (95 miles) southeast of Tripoli, a top military commander of Libya’s interim council said on Thursday.
Abdel Majid, the coordinator of the Tripoli military operations room, told Reuters “someone we trust” had said Gaddafi had gone there with his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi three days after Tripoli fell last week.

Al Jazeera’s James Bays in #Tripoli: #Libya’s former Foreign Minister Obeidi does not know where Gaddafi is.
Russia recognised the NationalTransitional Council (NTC) as Libya’s legitimate authorities on Thursday, moving to increase its influence in postwar reconstruction and protect its economic interests in the oil-producing North African nation.
“The Russian Federation recognises the National Transitional Council as the current authorities and takes note of its declared reform programme, which calls for the development of a new constitution, the holding of general elections and the formation of a government,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. – Reuters
Algeria’s foreign minister says his government is certain that al-Qaeda’s north African branch has obtained weapons on the black market that has flourished during the civil war in neighboring Libya.
Mourad Medelci says that countries across north Africa have seen proof “on the ground” that al-Qaeda has taken advantage of the instability in Libya to procure new
weapons with which to expand its activities.
“It’s not just a worry or a feeling, it’s a certainty,” Medelci said in an interview on French radio station Europe 1.
Medelci is in Paris to participate in an international conference seeking to map Libya’s future.
The diplomat said that Libya is “vulnerable” during its transition to al-Qaeda members taking refuge within its borders. – Reuters

‘From Libya, Thank You America!’
Americans are not often heroes in the Arab world, but as nonstop celebrations unfold here in the Libyan capital I keep running into ordinary people who learn where I’m from and then fervently repeat variants of the same phrase: “Thank you, America!”
As I was walking back from Green Square (now renamed “Martyrs’ Square”) to my hotel on Wednesday morning, a car draped in the victorious Libyan flag pulled up and offered me a lift. “I just want you to feel welcome here,” explained the driver, Sufian al-
Gariani, a 21-year-old salesman. He beamed when he heard where I was from and declared: “Thank you, Americans. Thank you, President Obama.”

Firms Aided Libyan Spies
TRIPOLI—On the ground floor of a six-story building here, agents working for Moammar Gadhafi sat in an open room, spying on emails and chat messages with the help of technology Libya acquired from the West.
Libya is one of several Middle Eastern and North African states to use sophisticated technologies acquired abroad to crack down on dissidents. Tech firms from the U.S., Canada, Europe, China and elsewhere have, in the pursuit of profits, helped regimes block websites, intercept emails and eavesdrop on conversations.
Amesys in 2009 equipped the center with “deep packet inspection” technology, one of the most intrusive techniques for snooping on people’s online activities, according to people familiar with the matter.
On Feb. 15 of this year, as anti-government demonstrations kicked off in Benghazi, Libyan telecom official Bashir Ejlabu convened a meeting in Barcelona with officials from Narus, the Boeing unit that makes Internet monitoring products, according to a person familiar with the meeting. “The urgency was high to get a comprehensive system put in place,” the person said.

American college kid joins Libya rebels for one ‘sick vacation’
‘This is one of the few real revolutions,’ says Chris Jeon. ‘I just thought I’d come check it out.’ Is he worried about his safety? ‘I believe in destiny,’ he says.
Why is he here?
“This is one of the few real revolutions,” he said. “I just thought I’d come check it out.”
It’s an unusual summer break for a college student, especially for a math major at University of California, Los Angeles, who says he spent his last spring break in Quebec. But Mr. Jeon is near the front lines of a conflict that has already taken thousands of lives, and is likely to cost many more if rebels launch a planned assault on Mr. Qaddafi’s hometown of Sirte.

Not Good Haters: Libya’s Amazigh Minority
Ann Marlowe
After a cumulative two months in Libya, I’ve come to believe that the fears of an Iraq-style post-Qaddafi fragmentation are misplaced. Many Libyans express the wish to kill Qaddafi—but not his fighters. This augurs well for the future of this closely knit, small-population country. Even ethnic tensions here are at a lower key, with the Berber minority seeking cultural freedom but not separatism.

Negotiations between the National Transitional Council NTC and the tribes of Harawa and Sirte, reportedly include some Gaddafi loyalists. Both groups have laid out a series of conditions:
- The Magharba tribe based in the Bin Jawad area have been given the role of negotiating on behalf of the NTC.
- The tribes of Sirte and Harawa want guarantees that Libya’s fighters will not loot, burn public building or search housese.
- The NTC wants all weapons that Gaddafi dstributed to the tribes, handed over.

Clinton calls on UN seat for the NTC
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today that the NTC should be given the country’s United Nations seat but they should also work with their former foes.
Addressing a meeting of world powers on Libya, Clinton also said that the NATO military campaign which supported the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi should carry on as long as civilians are under threat, despite his overthrow.
Clinton said foreign governments would watch closely to make sure the National Transition Council (NTC) holds to its promises to establish a fair democracy.
United Nations sanctions on Libya should start to be lifted in a responsible way and the new leaders awarded Libya’s U.N. seat, she said.
“The work does not end with the end of an oppressive regime,” Clinton told the “Friends of Libya” conference hosted by France and Britain.
“Winning a war offers no guarantee of winning the peace that follows. What happens in the coming days will be critical.”
Clinton met with NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil before the talks with high-level delegations from 60 countries and world bodies to map out Libya’s political and economic reconstruction after Gaddafi’s overthrow. .
With Gaddafi loyalists still putting up scattered but strong resistance and the fugitive strongman still on the run, Clinton said it was too early to end the NATO-led military mission.
“We must see our military mission through to its conclusion. Coalition military operations should continue as long as civilians remain under threat of attack,” Clinton said in prepared remarks distributed to journalists.
In a nod to the lessons of Iraq, where the dissolution of Saddam Hussein’s military following his overthrow was seen as a central factor behind the country’s ensuing violence, Clinton said Libya’s new leaders should work together even with those who once opposed them.

Gaddafi asks loyalists to ‘resist aggression’
Muammar Gaddafi has urged his supporters to keep up their resistance to the uprising in Libya that has forced him into hiding, the Syria-based Al-Rai television channel said.
The toppled leader asked his supporters to continue what he called “struggle against foreign aggression” and said those against him were divided, he was quoted as saying in a message.
He vowed again not to surrender, saying he would carry on fighting, the pro-Gaddafi television channel said.
“Even if you cannot hear my voice, continue the resistance,” Gaddafi said.
“We will not surrender. We are not women and we are going to keep on fighting,” the message said.
Gaddafi called on his supporters to set Libya alight, vowed that his backers would not give up, he said in the message.
“Let there be a long fight and let Libya be engulfed in flames.” He said the “balance of power is now leveled as all tribes are now armed”.
The pro-Gaddafi station carried written extracts from a message from the fallen leader, saying it would be broadcast later.
Gaddafi’s location
The fugitive leader was speaking on the 42nd anniversary of the military coup that toppled King Idris and brought him to power in 1969 when he was a 27-year-old army captain.
There have been conflicting reports about Gaddafi’s location since his Tripoli compound was overrun on August 23.
A senior military commander of the Libyan interim leadership said Gaddafi was in a desert town outside Tripoli, along with his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, planning a fight-back.
All three fugitives are wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
Abdel Majid Mlegta, co-ordinator of the Tripoli military operations room, told Reuters news agency “someone we trust” had said Gaddafi had fled to Bani Walid, 150km southeast of the capital.
He said Ali al-Ahwal, Gaddafi’s coordinator for tribes, was also in Bani Walid, a stronghold of the powerful Warfalla tribe, Libya’s biggest tribe among a population of six million, but many say their loyalty is divided.
“We are capable of ending the crisis but military action is out of the question right now,” Mlegta said.
“We cannot attack this tribe because many of our brigades in Benghazi and Zintan are from Bani Walid. The sons of Bani Walid hold the key.”
An Algerian newspaper said Gaddafi was in the border town of Ghadamis and had tried to call Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to appeal for refuge.
Bouteflika would not take the call, even though Algeria gave sanctuary to Gaddafi’s wife and three of his children when they crossed the border on Monday.

NATO statement at end of #libya conference in Paris…
The NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen attended the International Conference on Libya in Paris on 1 September 2011. During the meeting, the Secretary General emphasised that “we are determined to continue our mission for as long as attacks and threats continue, but not a day longer than necessary.”
The Secretary General praised the successful implementation of the UN mandate. “From the very beginning, our mission has been to protect the Libyan people”, he said, “we have managed to prevent a massacre and countless lives have been saved”.
“Today, the future of Libya is in the hands of the Libyan people”, Mr. Rasmussen said, insisting that this future would have to rest on reconciliation, unity and rule of law, not on repression, division and injustice. While the United Nations will hold the leading role in supporting the Libyan people and the National transitional Council throughout that
process, NATO stands ready to play a supporting role, if and when so requested.

In Tripoli, Celebrating More Than Ramadan’s End
The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr is always a time of joyous celebration in the Islamic world. The holiday’s arrival means that Ramadan, the long month of daytime fasting, is over, and friends and family gather to exchange gifts and share meals.
As it began Wednesday in Tripoli, the holiday carried even greater resonance this year because of the rebel takeover of the Libyan capital.
“It’s the big Eid this year,” says resident Alaa al-Najaa. “In my life, I haven’t seen the people before like that, especially the children.”
Now, Libyans are looking toward the future without dictator Moammar Gadhafi — and they describe feelings of both hope and fear.

Report: Gadhafi’s son was ready to sign peace treaty with Israel after Libya fighting
According to Austrian politician David Lasar, Seif al-Islam was also willing to act as middleman to secure the release of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit
An Austrian politician says one of Muammar Gadhafi’s sons told him Libya was ready to sign a peace treaty with Israel once the fighting in his country ended.
David Lasar also said Thursday that Seif al-Islam, Gadhafi’s longtime heir apparent, also told him he was ready to act as a middleman to secure the release of an Israel soldier held for more than four years by Hamas, the Palestinian faction controlling Gaza.
Lasar, a Vienna municipal political with the rightist Freedom Party, was in Libya last month on a trip coordinated between his party and Ayoub Kara, an Israeli deputy minister.
Lasar is Jewish, while Kara is a Druse, and both occasionally assume positions and take on missions that are unusual for their government or party.

Libya crisis: Inside the notorious Abu Salim jail
Colonel Gaddafi has called for Libya to be “engulfed in flames” in an audio message carried by a loyalist TV channel.
In Tripoli, human rights workers are trying to salvage records from inside Libya’s most notorious prison, Abu Salim.
Over the course of several decades, thousands of Libyans are said to have been jailed and tortured in the prison by members of the Gaddafi regime.

This was to demonstrate to those forces which persist in prolonging the conflict that their positions are known & capable of being targeted.

10 minutes ago, I was visiting with 3 women from Misrata in a Tunis hospital. We heard cries of pain from a room down the hall. 2 of us went to investigate.
A Western-looking woman comes out of the room as we approach.
My Misrata friend tells me she’s from Tripoli
The lady tells me the guy in pain is her brother.
She asks where I’m from. I say America.
Then she says she doesn’t care what
Then she scowls even more and says, she doesn’t care what I do, she hates me.
She says her brother is here because of my gov’t. To make the US happy. #libya
She says again, looking me straight in the eye as she pulls her green sweater closed, “I hate you.”
My Misrata friend pulls me away.
Apparently the injured guy is kataib, and this family supports #Gaddafi.

got here a couple days ago with wounds and fractures all over his body from a missile fired by #Gaddafi forces at Babalazizya
After we visited for awhile, I stepped out to the hall with my friend. His eyes were red & he wasn’t his normal self today.
Then he tells me his older brother (31) died today in Dafniya. Some sort of incident handling grenades or small bombs. #libya
His older brother fought in Misrata from the beginning. And fought at Babalazizya. And returned to Misrata. Only to die in
Dafniya today, while temporarily away from the fighting. My friend says he can’t tell his younger brother yet. Tomorrow.

Qaddafi Family Members Taken to Algeria by South Africans, New Age Reports
Some members of Muammar Qaddafi’s family were taken to Algeria from Libya by a team of 35 former South African special forces operatives who were paid $15,000 each for the operation, Johannesburg’s New Age newspaper said, citing an unidentified person who was asked to take part in the mission but declined.

Russia counts Libya losses after Kadhafi fall
MOSCOW — Russia’s firms stand to lose billions of dollars of deals in the new Libya, especially in the arms industry, after refusing to side with rebels in the battle with its old ally Moamer Kadhafi.
The Kremlin has refused to join Western powers in celebrating the rapid sweep into Tripoli by NATO-backed rebels and has also shown no sign of recognising the National Transitional Council as the legitimate authorities.
Russia had cultivated ties with Kadhafi since the Soviet era and joined the international stampede to the country’s energy riches once he unexpectedly renounced weapons of mass destruction in 2003.
The strategy involved massive arms sales that Kadhafi could pay off through contracts to develop energy deposits and a rail link between Tripoli and what became the rebel capital in Benghazi.

Aljazeera
A brigade of the Warfalla tribe prepares to do a battle in Bani Walid, a Gaddafi stronghold which is also made up of the same tribe, our correspondent reports from the western mountains of Libya.
When asked how they feel about engaging in a battle, basically with their own people, the brigadesmen replied:
During Gaddafi’s time, tribes were important but now tribalism is dead in Libya. It is no longer relevant because Libya is all one tribe.
The brigade tells Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton that the battle will take place in Bani Walid, regardless of the National Transitional Council’s extension on Thursday of an earlier deadline for Gaddafi loyalists to surrender.
Switzerland
Switzerland is seeking United Nations permission to unfreeze some of the Libyan assets it blocked after the start of the uprising against Moammar Gaddafi. Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey said on Thursday that Switzerland wanted to hand over as soon as possible $420 million (SFr334 million) belonging to Libyan public entities “for the benefit of the Libyan people”.
Turkey
Turkey has decided to reopen its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli as of Friday
and appointed Ali Kemal Aydin as its new ambassador, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.
AFP
World leaders unblocked USD 15 billion in funds to help Libya’s victorious rebels rebuild their shattered country as fugitive strongman Muammar Gaddafi called for guerrilla warfare.
42 years to the day since Gaddafi stormed to power in a coup, senior envoys from over 60 countries met the leaders of the revolution that overthrew him to endorse the fledgling regime and offer practical support.
AFP
A council tasked with drafting a constitution for Libya should be elected within eight months ahead of presidential and legislative polls in early 2013, a rebel leadership official says.
“We have outlined a clear road plan, a transition period of about 20 months,” Guma al-Gamaty, the representative of the National Transitional Council (NTC) in Britain, told BBC radio.
Gamaty said the process of transition was already under way and the NTC would move properly to Tripoli within a few days. For the first eight months, the council would lead Libya, at the end of which time a council of about 200 people should have been directly elected, Gamaty said.
“This council … will take over and oversee the drafting of a democratic constitution that should be debated and then brought to a referendum,” he said.
Within a year of the council being put in place, final parliamentary and presidential elections should take place.
“So we have eight months and a year that will take us to final elections with both parliamentary and presidential elections,” Gamaty said.
“And then hopefully by the end of about 20 months the Libyan people will have elected the leaders they want to lead their country.”
EU
The European Union has lifted sanctions imposed on 28 Libyan entities, including ports, energy companies, banks and the national airline.
The partial lifting of the punitive action, which was imposed in the wake of the Qadhafi regime’s violent suppression of anti-government uprising, was published in the bloc’s official journal on Friday.
Libya’s Economic and Social Development Fund, the National Commercial Bank, Gumhouria Bank, Sahara Bank, First Gulf Libyan Bank, one British-registered company, Tekxel, and the Jawaby Property Investment fund are among companies removed from EU’s blacklist. Read full story here.

Libya’s Zoo struggles to keep animals alive
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The body of a gazelle lies near an empty feeding bin, flies swarming around the corpse. A male lion growls angrily, leaping toward the front of his cage when a rare visitor approaches the bars.
This is life in the Tripoli Zoo, which has found itself a casualty of the war to oust Moammar Gadhafi.
Once one of the city’s best-loved family destinations, today it is 110 dusty acres of listless animals and overgrown, sunburned grass. Empty bullet casings are scattered everywhere. A patch of black grass near the monkey cage shows where a rocket-propelled grenade hit. A turtle cage is cracked by gunfire, garbage is piled everywhere and three forlorn hippopotamuses hang their heads in a filthy pit, standing next to a shallow pool of fetid water. Because of the city’s water shortage, the zoo’s skeleton staff can only clean the animals’ cages every four or five days.

‘Huda the executioner’ – Libya’s devil in female form
When Colonel Gaddafi hanged his first political opponent in Benghazi’s basketball stadium, thousands of schoolchildren and students were rounded up to watch a carefully choreographed, sadistic display of the regime’s version of justice.
They had been told they would see the trial of one of the Colonel’s enemies.
But instead a gallows was dramatically produced as the condemned man knelt in the middle of the basketball court, weeping and asking for his mother, hands bound behind his back.

Purported Gadhafi message says Libyan capital moved to his birthplace
“We are ready for a long, drawn-out war,” said Syrian television Al-Rai’s broadcast of a message from a man purported to be Gadhafi.
He said he has moved the Libyan capital to his native Sirte, where anti-Gadhafi forces were waiting on the outskirts for orders to attack.
The messages warned that Gadhafi’s fighters in Sirte were heavily armed and prepared to fight to the death.
Meanwhile, anti-Gadhafi forces on the outskirts of Sirte and Bani Walid have cut off supplies into the cities and amassed weaponry for heavy battle.

Miles away from the crowded gatherings in the capital’s Martyr’s Square, a middle-aged man idly cycles through a largely deserted road in Tripoli.
You cannot miss his dazed look as he slowly winds through the open road against the traffic lane with an infectious smile firmly plastered on his face.
Further down the road, the walls have transformed into public canvases, where young men are eagerly leaving their artistic mark as they paint the red, black and green colours of the pre-Gaddafi monarchy flag. Alongside it are catch-phrases of revolutionary fervour.
The spirit of sheer elation at newly found freedoms is hard to ignore.

Final Chase: RT in Gaddafi’s top secret bunker
Time is running out for Colonel Gaddafi and his loyalists to agree to a peaceful surrender. The Libyan rebels have extended their deadline for his forces to lay down arms to avoid further bloodshed. NATO has vowed to stay in the country until the end of conflict and urged Libya’s interim authorities to negotiate a peaceful solution. Western leaders, discussing Libya’s future in Paris, have agreed to unfreeze Gaddafi assets, with the EU saying it will lift some of the sanctions imposed on the country. Meanwhile, Colonel Gaddafi, whose whereabouts is still unknown, has been recorded recently saying he’s ready to fight a long guerrilla war.
RT’s Maria Finoshina delved deeper underground in one of Gaddafi’s bunkers, thought
to be one of the hubs on his escape route.

Algeria moves Gaddafi’s family to capital
The Algerian authorities have decided to move members of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s family to the capital, Algiers, over safety concerns, the Egyptian website Al-Ahram said on Friday.
Gaddafi’s wife Safia, daughter Aisha, and two sons – Muhammad and Hannibal arrived in Algerian southeastern border zone on August 29. Clashes between opponents and die-hard supporters of the Gaddafi regime are taking place on the Libyan side of the border. Gaddafi’s family members will be under house arrest in the capital.
Gaddafi wife and children were taken to Algeria by a team of 35 former South African Special Forces operatives, who were paid $15,000 each for the operation, Johannesburg’s New Age newspaper said on Friday. The paper cited an unidentified person who was asked to take part in the mission, but declined.
The Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) is demanding the extradition of Gaddafi’s family from Algeria.
Gaddafi’s only daughter Aisha, has given birth to a girl since arriving in Algeria. Regional news reports suggest her pregnancy was a major factor in the decision by the Algerian authorities to grant the group refuge.

Rebel forces press toward Gadhafi’s hometown
TRIPOLI, Libya — Rebel forces are advancing toward Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown despite the extension of the deadline for the town’s surrender, rebel officials said Friday, as a U.N. officials warned that Libya faces critical but short-term shortages of drinking water, food and other supplies.
While fighting has subsided in much of Libya, including the capital Tripoli, the six-month civil war between rebels and Gadhafi’s forces disrupted supply lines and damaged infrastructure across the country, leaving many people in need of help.

Libya: Secret Past No Secret
Soon after the Libyan capital fell to the rebels, the most important symbols of Qaddafi’s regime collapsed, too, particularly the intelligence service department.
Libyan citizens were forbidden to pass by the building housing the department unless they had business there; it contains countless numbers of important files and documents considered to be confidential.
Al Arabiya walked in the corridors and offices of the building, which had been bombed by NATO forces; nothing was left of Qaddafi’s intelligence apparatus but remnants.
One Libyan man said that people had always been afraid to pass in front of the building, but now it is under the control of a group of rebels.

The Tripoli Uprising
The inside story of Libya’s underground revolutionaries as they organized, hid out, waited, and finally liberated the capital city.
TRIPOLI, Libya – One night late last month, in a sweltering apartment deep in the heart of Tripoli, a group of men gathered around the television to watch the evening news. The program was carried on Libya al-Ahrar, a Doha-based news channel beaming into Libya in support of the revolution. At precisely 8:30 p.m., after the breaking of the Ramadan fast and as locals were streaming to the mosques, the message these men were waiting for came: “Truly, we have granted you a clear victory,” the newscaster said, before signing off for the night.

Al Arabiya
On Thursday, Muammar Qaddafi issued an audio message urging those loyal to him to fight; he also vowed to prevent any oil exports from the country and said “a war of gangs and urban warfare” is guaranteed.
The audio message, broadcast, on Al Arouba and Arrai television news, aired after world leaders agreed to free up billions of dollars of frozen assets to help rebuild Libya.
“You will not be able to pump oil for the sake of your own people. We will not allow this to happen,” Qaddafi said.
The statement was released on the 42nd anniversary of Qaddafi’s overthrowing of King Idris, which brought him to power in 1969.
Qaddafi is in hiding and a bounty of $1.6 million hangs over his head. Nonetheless, he also urged his supporters to continue fighting against the National Transitional Council and foreign powers.
“Get ready for a long war that was brought upon you. The occupation cannot continue this war in the long run. The occupation will weaken day by day and the resistance will grow stronger day by day. Get ready for a gang war, a war of gangs, urban warfare, guerrilla warfare and a war of bees that sting and run away and return to sting once more,” Qaddafi said.
Qaddafi’s whereabouts are unknown, and he has been on the run since his Tripoli compound was raided, on August 23.
According to the interim National Transitional Council, Qaddafi is said to be hiding with his son Seif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi in Bani Walid, a desert town outside the capital,
All three men are wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes.
Qaddafi’s Academy for Bodyguards
This military jacket is all that is left of the memories of Amira, a young woman who studied at the police officers academy before joining Muammar Qaddafi’s Revolutionary Guards. Amira, who had resigned from her post before the uprising began, had said that the job of being Qaddafi’s bodyguards attracted poor women who had no other source of income available to them.

Libya’s new leaders order provincial fighters out of Tripoli
TRIPOLI: Libya’s new leaders have called on fighters from elsewhere in the country to leave the capital and go home, interim interior minister Ahmed Darrad told AFP on Friday.
“Tripoli is free and everyone should leave this town and go back to their own towns,” he said.
“Starting Saturday there will be a large number of security personnel and policemen who will go back to work,” said Darrad.
“Now the revolutionaries of Tripoli are able to protect their own city.”
The demand represents a first effort to defuse possible tensions between Tripoli’s freshly-emerged revolutionaries and the scores of hardened fighters who poured in from other surrounding towns to topple Moamer Qadhafi’s regime
“The responsibility for securing Tripoli should be in the hands of the sons of Tripoli,” Abdullah Naqir, head of the newly formed military council of Tripoli also told AFP on Friday.
“We are grateful for the work of brigades from Misrata, Zintan and elsewhere, but as soon as we finish organising our own ranks they should go and rest.”

Cameron attacks ‘armchair generals’
David Cameron has insisted the “armchair generals” who have criticised the Government’s defence cuts had been proved wrong by operations in Libya.
Despite continued claims that the Nato campaign had exposed the limits of British military resources, the Prime Minister said the UK had punched “above our weight”.
In a forceful rebuke to those who have doubted the wisdom of British intervention in Libya given recent defence cuts, he said: "A lot of armchair generals who said you couldn’t do it without an aircraft carrier, they were wrong.
“A lot of people who said Tripoli is completely different to Benghazi, the two don’t get on, they were wrong. People who said this is all going to be an enormous swamp of Islamists and extremists, they were wrong. People who said we were going to run out of munitions, they were wrong.”
Mr Cameron dismissed claims that the US saw Britain as a “weak ally” and stressed that the RAF had carried out about a fifth of all strike sorties against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces.

American joins ranks of Libya’s rebels
TRIPOLI, Libya – When the war started in Libya, Jamal Abed was working in the restaurant of a hotel in San Antonio. Just over six months later, the 28-year-old Libyan American was among the victorious rebel fighters who stormed Tripoli and took over the capital.
The son of a Libyan father and a Mexican mother, Abed was born and raised in the USA. A political science major at the University of Texas, he played football in middle school and high school and hung out with a Hispanic crowd.
But as he saw the Egyptian revolution unfold on the television at the restaurant where he worked, he knew that he had to head back to the country that his father had left in 1964.

Updated | Jibril warns of ‘infiltration of Gaddafi thugs’ on Maltese soil
Jibril, who is the second in command at the Transitional National Council of post-Gaddafi Libya, has held talks in Malta on his return from Paris after Thursday’s ‘Friends of Libya’ conference.
Jibril said security was of extreme importance for both Malta and Libya, and proposed a joint committee between the two countries to address security concerns on immigration and “possible infiltration of Gaddafi thugs on Maltese soil to create instability.”
Jibril, accompanied by Libya’s new Justice Minister Mohammed Al-Alagi and TNC Minister for media Mahmoud Shamam, held talks with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi at Castille and addressed a press conference before attending a working dinner.

Right of Return
As Muammar Qaddafi falters, representatives of Libya’s expatriate Jewish community are on a quixotic quest to become part of the country’s new governmen
Exactly one year ago, a Libyan Jew named Raphael Luzon returned to his native land for the first time in 43 years. It wasn’t a simple family vacation: It was the anniversary of Libya’s Independence—Sept. 1, 1969—when a 27-year-old army officer named Muammar Qaddafi staged a bloodless coup against King Idris, who had ruled the country since its independence from Great Britain in 1951. Luzon, the leader of a
Libyan Jewish exile organization based in the United Kingdom, was invited by Qaddafi himself.

Women celebrate fall of Gaddafi in Tripoli
Thousands of woman, who have often been absent for much of the fighting, gather in capital to celebrate fall of regime
housands of women have gathered in Martyrs’ square in the Libyan capital of Tripoli to add their voices to the chorus of celebrations marking an end to the rule of Muammar Gaddafi.
Women have often been publically absent during the revolution, but they used the occasion on Friday evening to take part in what has been called the “million women march”.
Al Jazeera’s Anita McNaught, reporting from Tripoli, said: “This is a family night, it is a night for women to come and say thank you to their men for helping liberate their country they tell us.”
McNaught said unlike many celebratory occasions in previous weeks, the gathering was peaceful, with no rifles or guns being fired.

How Libya Seems to Have Helped the CIA with Rendition of Terrorism Suspects
A treasure trove of hundreds of thousands of secret documents uncovered by TIME and several other news organizations in the Libyan capital on Friday apparently reveals that the CIA and Britain’s MI6 maintained a close — even intimate — relationship with their Libyan counterparts dating as early as 2002, before the CIA had set up a “permanent” mission in Libya (which, according to the documents, began in 2004). United Nations sanctions were lifted in September 2003. U.S. economic sanctions ended in Sept. 20, 2004.

Algiers, ready to recognize the CNT
Algeria has sought Thursday to phase out its ambiguities on Libya, ensuring at an international conference in Paris that it is ready to recognize the Libyan transitional authorities and excluding hosting Muammar Gaddafi.
Invited by French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the international conference “friends of Libya,” the Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci began rallying from Algiers to the majority of the international community.
The Libyan National Transitional Council (CNT) “announces a new government representing all regions of the country,” noted the minister. “When this will be done, we will recognize it,” he said on French radio Europe 1, a few hours before the opening of the conference at the Elysee Palace.
Algeria is the only country in North Africa that has not recognized the representative body of the rebellion. Displaying a “strict neutrality” in the conflict tearing her neighbour, she was especially accused of supporting the ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi and gave a sense of growing isolation in front of the momentum created by the Arab revolution.
Algiers “has in all this an ambiguous attitude, it’s the least we can say,” noted Thursday French Minister of Foreign Affairs Alain Juppe.
Mourad Medelci said he had already spoken on the phone with the number two of CNT Mahmoud Jibril and that a meeting with its president, Mustapha Abdeljalil, was planned on the sidelines of the Paris conference.
“The CNT is the bearer of the will for emancipation and greater freedom of the Libyan people,” said Mourad Medelci, adding that Algeria was particularly hampered by foreign military intervention, led by France and Great Britain which led to the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
“If we had a problem with how the issue was addressed, this problem is mainly due to the fact that we are sensitive about the issue of sovereignty,” he said.

Seif al-Islam Qaddafi near Tripoli and sees victory, says his spokesman
Muammar Qaddafi’s son Seif al-Islam has been travelling around close to Tripoli, meeting tribal leaders and preparing to retake the Libyan capital, his spokesman said on Friday.
In a telephone call to Reuters in Tunisia from what he said was a “southern suburb of Tripoli,” Moussa Ibrahim derided the ability of the National Transitional Council to run the country after its rebel fighters forced Gaddafi into hiding and said their Western backers should negotiate with the ousted leader.
And he mocked “the irony” that NATO was now allied to an Islamist fighter who once had contact with al-Qaeda and to whom the new government has given military command of the capital.

Secret files have been unearthed by The Independent in Tripoli that reveal the astonishingly close links that existed between British and American governments and Muammar Gaddafi.
The documents chart how prisoners were offered to the Libyans for brutal interrogation by the Tripoli regime under the highly controversial “rendition” programme, and also how details of exiled opponents of the Libyan dictator in the UK were passed on to the regime by MI6.

Libya: An Update of MSF’s Activities
As teams from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins San Frontières (MSF) continued to evaluate medical facilities in Tripoli, they noted some improvements. Health staff are slowly returning to their hospitals and clinics. Patients have more access to facilities. The supply of water, medicine, electricity and fuel is slowly resuming, and MSF was able to send 20 tons of relief supplies into the city by boat—primarily medical supplies, water, and medicine.
The fighting in the capital created a huge need for surgical interventions, but the MSF medical and surgical teams that were supporting the emergency room and intensive care unit at Tripoli Central hospital saw the number of wounded patients decrease in recent days to the point where their assistance was no longer needed. That said, due to the earlier fighting, there is still a backlog of patients in city hospitals waiting for secondary surgical interventions. To help address the need, an MSF surgical team started working alongside local health personnel to operate on orthopedic cases at the Ben Ashour clinic in central Tripoli on September 1.
Additionally, an MSF psychologist is working in Tripoli Central hospital providing mental health support to medical staff and working with the psychiatry department, organizing training sessions on psychological first aid for nurses and volunteers.
Also in the capital, an MSF medical team is carrying out consultations at two sites where approximately 1,000 migrants have sought refuge; most of their medical complaints are linked to the deplorable living conditions in the ad hoc camps. The majority of people are staying in makeshift shelters without water, food, electricity or access to proper health care. They say they live in constant fear and are being intimidated and harassed by unidentified armed men. Most of the patients also suffer from psychosomatic complaints and show signs of stress due to extreme anxiety. Two MSF psychologists are setting up a mental health program in the camp.
Elsewhere in the country: In Zintan, the mental health program continues to work both in health facilities and in the community. MSF is also preparing to support the gynecological-obstetrics unit of the hospital with an OB/GYN, a midwife, and an anesthesist.
In Yefren, MSF is still supporting the hospital and is preparing to launch a small mental health support program. MSF is running a mental health program in Misrata, providing medical—and in particular, post operative care—and mental health activities for
prisoners in the military and civilian prisons and supporting Zliten Hospital with staff and materials. Two other MSF programs in Misrata hospitals are carrying out emergency surgery and trauma-related second-line surgery, in addition to physiotherapy for wounded patients who’ve undergone surgery. Lastly, MSF is providing psychological support to medical staff and patients in Benghazi.

At cemetery for Gadhafi fighters, grisly work goes on
MISRATA, Libya — A rudimentary cemetery sits on a sand dune overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Under headstones fashioned from cinder blocks lie the bodies of more than 700 men who Libyan revolutionaries say were killed fighting for former leader Moammar Gadhafi.
On Friday morning, the volunteers who perform Islamic burial rites and inter the bodies
arrived to find what’s become a common scene since the cemetery opened in March: Outside the wall lay the bodies of nine men, riddled with bullet wounds. They had been left there overnight, presumably by revolutionary fighters. Where they had been killed was unclear.

Turkey to reopen embassy in Libya
Turkey has decided to reopen its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli as of today and appointed Ali Kemal Aydin as its new ambassador, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.
World leaders agreed on Thursday to free up billions of dollars’ worth of frozen Libyan assets to help the country’s interim rulers restore vital services and start rebuilding after a six-month war that ended Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year rule.
Turkey, which once had close ties with Gaddafi, is expected to take a leading role in efforts to rebuild Libya, eyeing billion dollar deals and hoping to extend its influence in north Africa.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in February that NATO intervention in Libya was “out of the question”, but Ankara shifted its position as Gaddafi grew more isolated internationally.
It reluctantly backed NATO operations, called on Gaddafi to step down and recognised his opponents, the National Transitional Council, as the legitimate government. Ankara has provided the NTC with $300 million in cash, loans and other aid.
The foreign ministry said the new ambassador left Ankara on Thursday and was travelling via Tunisia to Tripoli.

Russia
Russia has invited members of Libya’s interim government to Moscow to discuss the future of Russian energy contracts in the country, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday.
“We will discuss all of this,” Lavrov told reporters after being asked about the fate of Russian oil contracts agreed with Libya’s deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi. “They (Libya’s interim government) offered to hold contacts, and we have invited their respective representatives to Moscow, at their request.”
“We will discuss all this with them.”
Indonesia
Indonesia said it supported Libya’s peaceful transition towards democracy following the downfall of Moamer Kadhafi.
“Indonesia supports the National Transitional Council in Libya in carrying out the
peaceful transition towards democracy,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said in a statement on Saturday.
Natalegawa said the process of the democratic transition must reflect the wishes and aspirations of Libyans.
“In the end, a political process which grants Libyans the chance to decide their own future is the best solution in resolving the issues in Libya,” he said.
APLibyan security agency documents seen by AP indicate intimate cooperation between Moammar Gadhafi’s ousted regime and British and American intelligence.
While the documents provide new details, reports of such cooperation have surfaced before. Libyan Muslim extremists have tried to kill Gadhafi, and have held senior al-Qaida positions.
Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, commander of the anti-Gadhafi force that now controls Tripoli, is the former leader of an Islamic group who says he was tortured by CIA agents at a secret prison, then sent to Libya.
Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch, which found the documents in a Libyan security agency building, says they indicate American officials were sometimes present during interrogations — something the United States has denied.
NTC
NTC leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil, who returned to Libya on Friday following a meeting with international leaders in Paris, confirmed that the relocation will take place soon.
‘With God’s will, we will go to Tripoli in the next week, but before we go we salute the people and revolutionaries of Benghazi,’ he said in comments reported by BBC News.
BBC reporter Jon Leyne explained the NTC now believes Tripoli is safe enough to house its headquarters and has the money to operate from the capital.

The discovery of Chris Jeon
This is the moment Kristen Chick, of the Christian Science Monitor, and I found Chris Jeon at the front-line town of An Nawfiliyah in Libya. On the right is our translator, Jamal, who was trying to help him communicate with his rebel brethren for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn’t capture footage of him firing an AK-47 in the air – we tried to duck out of the scene at that moment because it wasn’t clear he knew what he was doing with the gun…
At the moment this was filmed, I had no idea who he was or where he was from, hence my question to Kristen: “Who is this guy?”

Libya, Syria and the Middle East on the agenda for EU Foreign Ministers meeting
Foreign Secretary William Hague attended an informal meeting of EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs – the “Gymnich” on 2-3 September in Sopot, Poland
Libya was high on the agenda. Speaking to Sky News while in Sopot, the Foreign Secretary talked about the situation on the outskirts of Sirte, saying that the National Transitional Council are extremely conscious of the need to avoid civilian casualties:
“There are many places that they have gained militarily over the course of the conflict, particularly in the last two weeks: the towns on the outskirts of Tripoli and then Tripoli itself – very importantly, the actual capital city. And they have done that without causing civilian casualties.
“The threat to civilian life, the indiscriminate attacks on civilians or the murder of prisoners has always come, so far as we can see, from the remnants of the Qadhafi regime and I’m sure that will continue to be the case.”
He said that the National Transitional Council want to avoid an unnecessary battle:
“That is why they have been negotiating with the tribes around Sirte. That is why they – and all of us – would much prefer the remaining forces loyal to the remnants of the regime to lay down their arms. They are in a fairly hopeless military position so it is time for the conflict to stop.”
Syria and the Middle East Peace Process were also on the agenda, as well as the EU’s Eastern Partnership, and EU initiatives towards the southern neighbourhood.
Foreign ministers of EU candidate countries also attended parts of the meeting.
The Gymnich format derives its name from a castle in Western Germany where the first informal meeting of EU Ministers was held in 1974. The informality of the meeting refers to the fact that while engaging in a free and in-depth discussion on a limited number of topics, the Ministers do not draw up any formal, written conclusions.

Apologies for the Twitter silence today, comms issue. For those asking about the American it wasn’t Chris Jeon, but he is still here.
For those wondering Chris Jeon is a student from LA who rides around with the day tripping rebels behind the front line, not the real army
The American I ran in to yesterday was heading to join the rebel army at the front & not at all pleased to see a member of the press
We know there are NATO special forces operating at the front line with rebel soldiers in a number of roles including directing NATO strikes.

During a news conference in Tripoli, Ali Tarhouni, the interim oil minister, was asked if Gaddafi was in the town of Bani Walid, as NTC military commanders have said they believe, Tarhouni said only: “As for Gaddafi himself…we know where he is.”

HOW #BaniWalid FELL: “There was a surprise movement this afternoon,” #Tripoli ’s rebel military commander, Abdul Hakim Belhaj, said. “The #Gaddafi brigades appear to have abandoned their checkpoints.”
“The radio station is under the control of the revolutionary people, and flags have been put up on a lot of the high buildings in Bani Walid.”
Belhaj said the approaches to the town were not yet fully secure, but estimated that 90% of Bani Walid was now backing the rebels.
Three of Gaddafi’s sons – Mutassim, #Saif al-Islam and Saadi – are believed to have been staying in the military bases, while the Warfalla tribe, which controls Bani Walid, debated their future. Rebel officials in #Tahouna and #Tripoli had told tribal leaders that the town would soon be attacked if the tribe did not surrender the Gaddafis.
The impetus for the apparent departure seemed to be a local uprising, which saw green loyalist flags torn down and regime checkpoints on Bani Walid’s outskirts evacuated. It was not immediately clear whether the uprising was localised to one area, or had spread to other parts of Bani Walid.
Rebels were planning to send forays into town to test the mood of the people, who had largely been loyal to the ousted Gaddafi regime since the fall of Tripoli. They had expected to confront 500-600 loyalist soldiers with about 2,000 rebels.
Residents had, in recent days, given the leaders of Tahouna’s rebel brigade regular updates on the whereabouts of Saif al-Islam and Mutassim, suggesting cracks in tribal solidarity. Tribal leaders had earlier told rebels they felt bound by custom to protect their guests.
If military units carrying the Gaddafi sons have fled, they have few places to run to. The main road south-west is controlled by rebels after about 60 miles, meaning it is likely they would be forced to take a more difficult escape route through barren landscapes which become ever more treacherous the further south they go.
More troubling for any overland escape is that it would be detectable by #Nato surveillance aircraft, which could track every move. Nato continues to play an active role in Tripoli and in the hunt for Colonel Gaddafi, with the RAF bombing six targets in Bani Walid over the past week.
Gaddafi is believed to have spent time in the town eight days ago before heading south. His whereabouts are unknown, but Nato and rebel officials believe he is hiding somewhere in an area from the southern town of #Sabha to the #Algeria n border – a vast tract of land on the fringes of the Sahara desert, where he can count on the protection of #Tuareg tribesmen":

We waded, ankle-deep, through discarded Bond Street clothes, beneath six-deck chandeliers, past gilt-lined sofas. Near the front door, not far from the banqueting suite, was the cage for the family’s pet tiger.
Matouk Mohammed Matouk may be the prime suspect in the murder of WPc Yvonne Fletcher — but as one of Libya’s top officials, he ticked all the boxes of the Gaddafi lifestyle.
His enormous, square house, in the country outside Tripoli, is surrounded by a vineyard, unusual in a state were alcohol is banned: but then Mr Matouk has made a career of bending the rules. The Daily Telegraph spent the afternoon there, prising open the private world of one of Muammar Gaddafi’s most hated and feared enforcers.

Rumors that Gaddafi and Son might have escaped from BaniWalid. No known destination.
My contact from FF who are stationary on outskirts says they have FF scouts inside, still no confirmation on final status.

A call from Benghazi (relative) says they got similar news from BaniWalid. Independence flags high, not removed and no battle. Puzzling!!!

Britain to ship $1 billion in banknotes to Libya
Britain will ship the remainder of $1.5 billion in frozen Libyan funds to Benghazi within a week, a senior official in the rebel government said on Friday, helping its new rulers to pay public workers and restore order in the war-torn country.
A portion of the funds amounting to around 280 million Libyan dinars, or around $234 million, reached Benghazi this week already by airplane.
The money is part of a consignment of freshly printed Libyan dinars worth about $1.5 billion ordered by Qaddafi from British printing firm De La Rue Plc but blocked by Britain in March after he began a violent crackdown on protests.
Many of the delivered notes still bear the face of the deposed leader, whose image elsewhere in the eastern city of Benghazi is openly mocked in graffiti.
“Most of it is coming by sea to Benghazi. It will come in a week’s time and it will be the rest of the $1.5 billion,” Fathi Baja, head of the National Transitional Council committee for political and international affairs told Reuters.
“We need lots of finances.”
Now that NTC forces have overthrown Qaddafi, Britain is releasing the money to ease a cash crunch. The remainder will be delivered shortly, Foreign Secretary William Hague said.
A second NTC member told Reuters that the British money already received was now in the central bank vault and would soon be distributed to commercial banks.
“We need a portion of money in hard currency (non-Libyan) to open up credit to buy oil products. At the same time we need Libyan currency for banks to pay government salaries,” said Mustafa el-Huni, NTC representative for Jufra in southern Libya.
The shortage of hard cash has been a problem throughout the conflict, with long lines often forming outside banks as people sought to take out their money.
International powers met in Paris on Thursday and agreed to make $15 billion immediately available to the new leaders, putting to the test their ability to govern and restore order in a country with beleaguered public services and a glut of heavy weapons. It is not clear yet how the money will be transferred to Libya.
“Education and security − these will take a large chunk of the money,” said Baja, referring to the $15 billion.
Libya’s schools are due to start on September 17, despite bombed-out classrooms, scarce transport and a curriculum based on Qaddafi’s green book – an account of his views of the world.
A portion of the money would be allocated to giving medical care and limb replacements to victims of land mines.
Libyan Council Cautious on Tripoli
BENGHAZI, Libya—The Libyan rebels’ governing body said on Saturday it would stay in this eastern stronghold and only partially relocate to Tripoli as long as much of the country’s interior and south remained in Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s grip, warning that the longtime leader and his sons still posed a serious threat even for the recently gained capital.
Meanwhile, Libya’s national soccer team made history on Saturday flying from Benghazi to Cairo to face Mozambique in the qualifiers of the African Nations Cup under the banner of the rebel flag.
“Danger should be expected as long as Moammar Gadhafi remains inside Libya,” the president of the rebel’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, told
reporters here a day after his return from Paris where the French government hosted a major international conference on Libya.
“His sons are still issuing threats day after day and as such there’s an expected danger and caution is in place,” added Mr. Abdul Jalil, referring to a call by Col. Gadhafi’s son Seif el-Islam this week for loyalists to wage an insurgency against the rebels.

Institutional corruption investigations underway
Investigations are underway to expose any institutional corruption in Libya and cities that have not joined the revolution have been given a one week notice to do so, head of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdel Jalil said in a press conference on Saturday.
“At this time there has been some information on financial corruption within institutions will investigate this matter and report the names,” said Abdel Jalil.
He added that cities that have not joined the revolution will be given a one week notice to do so and that the NTC has no plans to collect arms from revolutionaries Tripoli. “There is no mandate from the NTC to collect arms,” he said.

Friends of Libya” meeting in New York Sept 20
A second “Friends of Libya” conference will be held in New York on Sept. 20 to help with reconstruction after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said on Saturday.
Western powers met the National Transitional Council (NTC), in Paris on Thursday in a first “Friends of Libya” conference. They handed over $15 billion of Gaddafi’s foreign assets to start the rebuilding job.
“The conference will be on Sept. 20,” Frattini told reporters on the margins of a conference.
Frattini reiterated that Italy would maintain its role as Libya’s leading partner in the oil sector.
“It has always been so and will continue that way. We confirm all our commitments,” he said.
Italian oil and gas group Eni is Libya‘s biggest foreign oil operator, producing about 270,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2010.
The state-controlled company, in Libya since 1959, has oil production contracts in force to 2042 and gas contracts to 2047.
“I see that other countries too, such as Russia, are engaged in confirming their oil contracts in Libya. What is important is that Italy remains the leading foreign partner in the country,” Frattini said.
Some analysts are concerned that Eni could lose assets or opportunities in the long run if Italy’s hesitancy in supporting the new government early in the conflict leads to a backlash.
Eni has said it hopes to restart gas exports from Libya by mid-October. Libya provides about 12 percent of Italy’s gas needs.

Khamis Gaddafi and the mystery of Jeremy Bowen’s notebook
Colonel Gaddafi’s son and most feared military commander appears to have planned his last-ditch defence of the regime in the back of a notebook taken from the BBC correspondent Jeremy Bowen
Khamis Gaddafi, or one of his close military aides, wrote reminders to himself in the black-covered, A5-sized book as he planned what seem to be the final battles
The notebook contains chilling lists of named individuals to be “searched for,” and presumably detained or murdered.
The book was recovered last Friday from the wreckage of a military convoy led by Khamis, in which he was apparently killed.
It was shown to The Sunday Telegraph by rebel commanders who carried out the attack on the convoy.
In the front of the book, meanwhile, are Mr Bowen’s earlier notes about the frustrations of life in pre-revolutionary Libya, and the challenges of reporting under strict supervision. On one page, Mr Bowen appears to have written a prisoner’s wall chart, crossing off the days until he is out of Libya.
He said last night: "It is very curious. I lost this book on a government-organised bus trip to Misurata in April.

Libya: Khadafy family life revealed in the aftermath
Algeria said this week that it had allowed a two-vehicle caravan of Col. Muammar Khadafi’s relatives, including his second wife and three of his children, into the country. The flight of his relatives provides new evidence of surrender by the Khadafi clan as rebels tighten their hold on Tripoli, the capital.

Gadhafi’s Ukrainian nurse talks about life with ’Daddy
In the Ukraine house where she grew up, Oksana Balinskaya’s hazel eyes transfixed on television images of Moammar Gadhafi.
He was now a fallen leader, a fugitive sought for justice. He had been known as the ruthless leader of a pariah state, a butcher, a delusional man divorced from reality.
But Balinskaya, 25, who served as one of Gadhafi’s five Ukrainian nurses for nearly two years, had always seen him in a different light.

Libya Rebels Poised to Attack Kadafi’s Stronghold
“Negotiations are over, and we are waiting for orders” to attack, said Mohammed al-Fassi, a rebel commander at a staging area about 45 miles from Bani Walid. “We wanted to do this without bloodshed, but they took advantage of our timeline to protect themselves.”
Libyan rebels are poised to attack one of Moammar Kadafi’s remaining strongholds, saying Sunday that surrender talks have collapsed.

Aljazeera
Libyan fighters who said they had tried to negotiate a peaceful transfer of power of Bani Walid, a key city still controlled by supporters of fugitive leader Muammar Gaddafi, have told Al Jazeera that talks had reached a stalemate and that the final push is going to happen in the next 24 hours.
According to members of the National Transitional Council, the talks failed mid-day on
Sunday after numerous attempts to move forward with a bloodless handover of control.
“Their time is over,” said Mahmoud Abdul Aziz, a political analyst and one of those on the negotiation team. “The push is going to happen in the next 24 hours.”
China
China is obstructing the release of Libya’s frozen assets, the head of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdel Jalil said in a news conference on Saturday. “China is obstructing the release of Libya’s frozen assets,” said Abdel Jalil, adding that Libyan rebel leader Mahmoud Jibril had earlier met with a representative of the Chinese government to further understand this “unexpected position”. It was not immediately clear what the precise complaint to Beijing was. China has not joined Western powers in formally recognising the NTC as the legitimate authority in Libya, but it has acknowledged its “important role” in the country following the overthrow last week of Muammar Gaddafi.
South Korea
South Korea will this week reopen its embassy in Tripoli which closed in May, and construction firms will also soon resume work thanks to the improved security situation, a report said Sunday. Diplomats who have been staying in neighbouring Tunisia during the conflict, including ambassador Jo Dae-Sik, will return to the Libyan capital this week, Yonhap news agency said, citing a government official.
Cuba
Cuba has announced the withdrawal of its ambassador and diplomatic mission in Libya and reiterated that it does not recognize the rebels’ transitional government.It also has denounced the NATO military intervention that helped drive Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi into hiding, saying the bombing killed “thousands” of civilians. It warned that NATO’s conduct could create similar conditions for an outside militaryintervention in Syria, which has been roiled by popular protests as well. Cuba is a longtime ally of Libya, and former leader Fidel Castro was outspoken in his
criticism of the uprising against Gadhafi in the early days of the conflict. He has not commented publicly on Gadhafi’s fall.The announcement came in a Foreign Ministry communique on Saturday.
BBC
Hundreds of troops loyal to Libya’s interim government are closing in on one of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi’s few remaining strongholds. Fighters have moved in on Bani Walid from three sides, warning Gaddafi loyalists to surrender or be attacked.
The desert town hit the headlines last month as rumours spread that two of Col Gaddafi’s sons had travelled through it as they fled south from Tripoli.
Some reports say Gaddafi family members may still be in the town.
On Saturday, the head of Libya’s interim governing NTC said its soldiers were also laying siege to Col Gaddafi’s birthplace in Sirte, as well as Jufra and Sabha. National Transitional Council Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil said the towns were being given humanitarian aid, but had one week to surrender “to avoid further bloodshed”.

Post-Gaddafi Tripoli: How Libya’s Civil Servants Are Holding It Together
When a pick-up truck laden with C-5 explosives accidently blew up after hitting a pothole last week in the ritzy Tripoli neighborhood of Gargaresh, residents witnessed something unexpected. Within minutes of the explosion, three fire trucks arrived on the scene to extinguish the blaze. “In my entire life I never saw anything like it,” says Kamal Mansur. “The fire squad responded and put the fire out quickly. Before the revolution, no one ever wanted to work for former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Now everyone wants to work to build a new Libya.”

Main sticking point in negotiations – human rights abuses by pro-G forces in BW. Negotiators have promised fair trials if they surrender.
Main example of human rights abuses in BW is a massacre committed 25th May by pro-G in the town. Video on YouTube I’m told. #Libya

Talks have collapsed in Bani Walid – main negotiator. Said Moussa Ibrahim was negotiating, had unrealistic position.
Negotiator says anti-G have compromised, have nothing more to offer. Pro-G wanted to go to meeting with weapons.
Negotiator says pro-G are not powerful in BW, would be easily beaten by anti-G forces – but they want to avoid all bloodshed now.
Negotiators now referring up to military commanders for next moves. Could be military advance. Rebels now at edge of BW.
Plight of civilians in BW now main concern.

Geheim rapport: Megrahi is niet dader aanslag Lockerbie
Door Daan de Wit
De uitspraak in de Lockerbie-zaak is gebaseerd op leugen en bedrog en de veroordeelde Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi kan niet de dader zijn. Dat blijkt uit de onthulling van een geheim deel van een officieel onderzoeksrapport.
Read in Dutch:
www.deepjournal.com/p/43/a/nl/2987.html.
Here is the English translation:
Secret report: Megrahi is not the Lockerbie bomber
By Daan de Wit
The verdict in the Lockerbie case is based on lies and deception, and the man convicted of the crime, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, cannot be the perpetrator. This appears from revelations contained in a secret section of an official report.
Back in July, Mega wrote: ’You’ll just have to take my word for it that this case represents the worst injustice perpetrated by the courts that I’ve encoutered in 22 years as a journalist.’
In a letter dating roughly to 2008 that was recently discovered in the headquarters of the Libyan intelligence services and directed at a Gaddafi advisor, al-Megrahi writes that he is innocent.

‘Gaddafi must face trial in Libya’
Muammar Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for the crimes committed under his rule, the NTC spokesman in London said on Sunday, regardless of the International Criminal Court charges against him.
The ICC, based in The Hague, has issued an arrest warrant against Gaddafi for crimes against humanity committed during the Libyan uprising, along with warrants for his son Seif al-Islam and his intelligence chief.
But Guma al-Gamaty, the National Transitional Council co-ordinator in Britain, said Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for a catalogue of crimes since he seized power in 1969.
“The ICC will only put Gaddafi on trial for crimes committed over the last six months,” Gamaty told BBC television.
“Gaddafi is responsible for an horrific catalogue of crimes committed over the last 42 years, which he should stand for and answer for and he can only answer for those in a proper trial in Libya itself.”
He said that it would be up to the court to determine whether a death sentence was appropriate for Gaddafi, but added: “The court will be fair and just and will meet all international standards.
“International monitors from human rights organisations and other reputable organisations and the UN will be allowed to monitor things.
“It will be a fair trial – something that Gaddafi has never offered any Libyans who criticised him over the last 42 years.”
Gamaty also said that the expired NTC offer for Gaddafi to stay in Libya under supervision if he gave up fighting would not be revived.
“The time has definitely passed for that. This was offered to him by the NTC months ago, some three, four months ago, and he never took it up,” he said.
“Also it’s going to be very difficult for Gaddafi and his sons now to find a safe haven or a country that will take them,” he added.
Due to the ICC arrest warrants, “their choices are now very, very limited. The only thing they can face now is if they are apprehended, they will be arrested, they will be treated humanely.
“They will be kept safe and then they will have to face a trial and answer for all the crimes they have been responsible for.”

Jihadists plot to take over Libya
U.S. steps up surveillance of suspects among rebels
Jihadists among the Libyan rebels revealed plans last week on the Internet to subvert the post-Moammar Gadhafi government and create an Islamist state, according to U.S. intelligence agencies.
U.S. officials said spy agencies are stepping up surveillance of Islamist-oriented elements among Libyan rebels. A government report circulated Tuesday said extremists were observed “strategizing” on Internet forums about how to set up an Islamist state in Libya after the regime of Col. Gadhafi is defeated.

Negotiator says they are waiting for decisions from NTC in Tripoli / Benghazi in terms of military action, but nothing yet.
Saturday deadline isn’t taken into consideration around Bani Walid – negotiator says that is only Sirte. ATOW no specific deadline here.
Chief BW political negotiator: there are no longer any talks with pro-Gaddafi forces in Bani Walid, but we’re talking to locals.
Negotiator: situation in Bani Walid is a catastrophe – no food, water, electricity or communications. We are getting supplies in.
Negotiator: only difference between y’day and today – fighters are positioned 17km from BW rather than 30km.
Negotiator: Any decision to go in militarily not my decision – that will happen at national, international & local council level.
Negotiator: any decision to wait might be at least partly because some of national leadership have relatives in BW, want to avoid bloodshed.
Negotiator – Dr Abdullah Kanshil – says there are 8 high-ranking Gaddafi personnel in Bani Walid, including Musa Ibrahim. #Libya

Malta Today:
What happened August 21?
EXCLUSIVE | Rebels stormed Palm City in hunt for Gaddafi
As rebels entered Tripoli, Maltese expats witnessed a gun battle between NTC forces and Gaddafi loyalists in the heart of Corinthia’s luxury resort of Palm City. But Gaddafi’s sons and possibly also the Colonel himself had already evacuated for fear of a NATO attack.
Libyan rebel fighters stormed the Maltese-owned Palm City residential complex in the outskirts of Tripoli, and searched for Col. Gaddafi and his sons Seif al-Islam, Hannibal, Saadi and Mohammed.
Maltese eyewitnesses told MaltaToday that on the evening of Sunday 21 August, some 200 fully-armed rebel fighters shot their way through the gates of the Corinthia-owned luxury residential resort in Janzour in search of the Gaddafis, just one hour after the Bab Al-Aziziya compound had fallen.
Palm City has now been partly taken over by rebel forces, and its garages used as an ammunitions depot.
A Maltese expat tweeted from Janzour that night that the rebels were convinced that the Gaddafis had evacuated Palm City as soon as they got wind of an imminent NATO bombing.
But while a spokesman for the Corinthia Group denied any suggestion that the Gaddafis had in fact sojourned in Palm City, eyewitness reports place Col. Gaddafi at the complex on 30 July – 16 days before the fall of Tripoli.
The eyewitness tweeted as follows: “No one of the G family was there for three weeks, but the last one out was Hannibal, but they rebels thought they were there, doors smashed open…”
He added in another tweet: “the night the G’s left Palm was evacuated on a rumour of a direct attack. The attack never happened but they the Gaddafis never returned.”
The Maltese expat said that “D gs were Seif, Hannibal and Saadi. One night G himself stayed there 100 Pc. They were ok with d Maltese.”
MaltaToday is reliably informed that the rebels focused their search on a villa at the far end of the huge residential complex, where luggage was found strewn all over the place, while food and drinks were also found left on tables.
The source also mentioned an unconfirmed report of an incident where a drunk Hannibal Gaddafi attacked his own bodyguard: “An incident known is Hannibal drink and kicking arse one of his bodyguards and throwing him into a pool without water breaking his leg from three parts sic.”
Other tweets from around the Janzour area reported a fierce gun battle between rebel forces and Gaddafi loyalists between Sunday 21 and Monday 22 August.
One of the tweeters sent out the registration plates of the Chevrolets in which Gaddafi loyalists fled Palm City, while another said that looting was taking place inside the complex during a gun battle with rebels.
But as the dust settled, the rebel forces from the National Transitional Council who entered the compound in search of the Gaddafis, took over the complex and turned it into their temporary military headquarters.
Eyewitnesses told MaltaToday that rebel fighters unloaded large boxes containing weapons and ammunition off Libyan army trucks into Palm City’s garages – anything from small handguns, to AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades have been stocked in the complex’s underlying garages.
The same eyewitness said rebel commanders inside Palm City had told him they are expected to vacate Palm City, because Benghazi leaders are to set up their interim government there.
MaltaToday is informed that negotiations were underway in Benghazi between Corinthia’s senior management and the NTC to have Palm City cleared of unauthorised personnel.

Saadi Gaddafi, a son of Muammar Gaddafi, blamed his high-profile brother for the collapse of talks with Libya’s new rulers on abandoning one of the last remaining loyalist bastions, CNN television reported late on Sunday.
Saadi told CNN in a telephone interview that an “aggressive” speech broadcast by his brother, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, a few days ago had led to the breakdown in negotiations, paving the way for an attack. The town southeast of Tripoli is one of the last strongholds of pro-Gaddafi fighters where at least one of the ousted despot’s sons is reputed to be hiding.
Asked about his location, Saadi said he is “a little bit outside” of Bani Walid but had been moving around, CNN reported. He said he had not seen his father or brother for two months.
Saadi said he is “neutral” but remains “ready to help negotiate a cease-fire,” CNN said.
China
Chinese arms firms offered to sell weapons worth about $200m to Muammar Gaddafi’s beleaguered forces in July, two newspapers reported.
Following an earlier report in the Globe and Mail, the New York Times reported on Monday that documents found abandoned in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, indicated that Chinese companies offered to sell rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles and other arms to Gaddafi’s forces, despite bans on such sales.
“We have hard evidence of deals going on between China and Gaddafi, and we have all the documents to prove it,” a rebel military spokesman, Abdulrahman Busin, told the Times.
Reuters could not verify the reports or the documents cited, and some officials told the Times report they were sceptical or uncertain. A “senior NATO diplomat in Brussels discounted the report as highly unlikely”, and members of a United Nations overseeing sanctions on Libya said “nothing about arms dealings with China had been brought to their attention”, said the Times report.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has not publicly commented on the reports.
China
Chinese companies have not provided Libya with any “military products”, China’s foreign ministry said Tuesday, after reports of Beijing offering weapons to the ousted Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi.
Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper reported on Sunday that Beijing offered huge stockpiles of weapons to Kadhafi during the final months of his regime and held secret talks on shipping them through Algeria and South Africa.
“Chinese companies have not provided military products to Libya in any direct or indirect form,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told journalists.
AP
Rebel reinforcements are arriving outside one of Moammar Gadhafi’s last strongholds in Libya, even as the forces arrayed against the toppled dictator give the town a chance to surrender and avoid a fight.
Thousands of rebels surround Bani Walid, a desert town southeast of the capital. Gadhafi has been on the run since losing his capital last month.
A small rebel convoy arrived Monday at a checkpoint about 40 miles (70 kilometers) from Bani Walid. Ismail al-Gitani says the fighters were part of a larger force he commands and that he was ordered to reinforce the northern approaches to Bani Walid.
He refused to say how many fighters he had brought.
Another rebel commander, Mohammed al-Fassi, says the door is still open for negotiations over the town’s surrender.
Aljazeera
Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton reports on developments from near Bani Walid:
Rebels have pushed to within 7km of the centre of Bani Walid. They exchanged fire with some of the Gaddafi’s forces. But they have since retreated a little bit instead of setting up a defensive position there, and the reason for that is, we have more talks..
He said that another group had come forward from the centre of Bani Walid saying that they are completely separate from the others that wanted to talk yesterday when it all broke down..
The rebels yet again have said we will stall going any further, they have pulled back from that 7km mark, they are static there now and they are waiting yet again to see if they can come to any agreement..
They are very concerned that there could very well be civilians who are killed, so they are willing to talk to just about anybody that puts their hands up and says they represent anything to do with the pro-Gaddafi forces..

More reporters than NTC fighters at Tarhuna-Bani Walid front line #Libya
Palm Maple
Following Reuters & Guardian reports on info from inside #BaniWalid, I’m worried a HUGE trap is being prepared for FF. Residents claims that B-Wild has only a small number of Gaddafi troops in town. This MIGHT be accurate or not, BUT the Reuters & Guardian reports claim that they have info from sources inside the city. These sources confirm that thousands of the city residents are armed & still loyal to Gaddafi. My interpretation of this is that these thousands of armed ‘civilian’ people are just waiting to receive FF and then ambush & massacre them. IF NTC is to send forces into B-Walid, then, they should send OVERWHELMING forces with another overwhelming force outside the city as a backup. This is not only to avoid treachery, but also, to
spare Libya another negative historic incident that could haunt the history of the country for decades to go and cause years of inter-tribe problems.

Hugo Chavez
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez has urged Muammar Gaddafi to “resist” and said he was certain the ousted Libyan strongman, whose whereabouts are unknown, is not thinking of leaving the country.
“Nobody knows where Gaddafi is,” said Chavez in a telephone interview with the state-run VTV television, adding, “I am sure he is very far from thinking about leaving Libya.”
“What he has to do is resist and hopefully that resistance will make it possible to find the path of peace and to defeat the path of war,” said Chavez.
Libyan rebels were threatening Monday to attack Bani Walid, a loyalist stronghold where at least one of Gaddafi’s sons was believed to be hiding.
Gaddafi himself has not been seen since rebels stormed Tripoli on August 20, although as recently as Thursday he aired audio messages calling on his supporters to prepare for guerrilla war.
Chavez, Gaddafi’s main ally in Latin America, has defended the Libyan strongman since the start of the uprising against his four decade old rule in February, accusing NATO of using the conflict to gain control over Libya’s oil.
On Monday, Chavez called on the so-called BRICS group of newly emerging economic powers, leftist Latin American governments and African states to join forces
to stop the “barbarity” unleashed by NATO in Libya.
“We have to go on a more coordinated counter-offensive to arrest this barbarity,” he said, without elaborating. Chavez, who is battling cancer, emerged last week from a military hospital after undergoing a third round of chemotherapy treatment. He did not rule out a need for a fourth round.

Libye – Le chef des brigades sécuritaires de Kadhafi arrivé au Niger
Une dizaine de personnes proches de Mouammar Kadhafi dont Mansour Daw, chef des brigades sécuritaires sont rentrées dimanche à Agadez (nord Niger) venant de Libye, a appris lundi l’AFP de source touareg.
Les autres personnes dont l’identité n’a pas été révélée, sont arrivées sur le territoire nigérien en compagnie de Agaly Alambo, figure de la révolte Touareg, et ont rejoint lundi Niamey, la capitale du pays, selon la même source.

Tuareg Leaders in Niger and Mali Urge Tuareg in Libya to Work With NTC
Tuareg leaders in Niger and Mali are urging Tuareg fighters in Libya to abandon Moammar Gadhafi and work with the country’s new leaders.
The change of power in Libya could further destabilize Africa’s Sahelian region, where
al-Qaida affiliated terrorists are already active.
Tuareg legislators from Mali and Niger say Libya’s interim council has promised not to target Tuareg members of the Gadhafi army.
By urging those fighters to join Libya’s new leaders, Sahelian governments are hoping to avoid a mass movement south that would worsen conditions in an already food-insecure region and could benefit al-Qaida affiliated terrorists.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the detention in Libya of 23 Ukrainian specialists who arrived to work at Libyan oil-industry facilities.
“Unfortunately, we are compelled to confirm that 23 Ukrainian citizens have been detained in Libya,” Oleh Voloshyn, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s Information Policy Department, said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
All of them are civilian specialists who have arrived in Libya to work at oil-industry facilities, he said.
“The Ukrainian Embassy has gotten one of them freed. Checks are being conducted in relation to the others,” Voloshyn said.
“The Libyan authorities have not brought any official charges against the Ukrainian citizens,” he said.

Libya to send 260 prisoners home to Niger
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya is allowing more than 260 prisoners from neighbouring Niger to return home on Monday, Libyan state news agency Jana reported. Some international organisations have assailed Libya for what they said was its harsh treatment of citizens of other African countries who end up in detention there, either as prisoners or illegal immigrants.
Last month, OPEC member Libya signed an agreement on judicial cooperation with the military junta running Niger, which is a major exporter of uranium.
“The 111 prisoners from Niger had left Metigua airport (outside Tripoli) early today to return home under the judicial cooperation agreement between the two countries,” Jana reported.
Jana quoted a Libyan official as saying that 150 other prisoners from Niger will leave Libya later on Monday.
“There are more prisoners from Niger in Libyan jails who are due to be returned home when the required procedures are completed,” Jana quoted an unnamed official as adding.
Jana gave no more details and did not say what the fate of 12 Niger citizens awaiting execution in Libya would be.

Bani Walid’s own rebels wait at gates of city
TARHOUNA, Libya — Ahmed Momen’s aunts kicked him out of their home in Bani Walid and he was called an infidel by his friends for joining the Libyan uprising.
Today the 22-year-old medical student and volunteer medic at a rebel check point 70 kilometers north of Bani Walid sits anxiously awaiting the order to start pushing into his hometown.
“I tried to convince my family that Moammar Gadhafi only spread ignorance and poverty in Bani Walid and for them to join the revolution,” Momen said.
His argument while visiting from Tripoli several months ago resulted in his aunts throwing him out of their house.
“I couldn’t believe it, I was crying over it,” he said. “I hope to forgive them after this.”
Today, enough Bani Walid residents are sticking with Gadhafi to keep the town out of rebel hands. But Bani Walid and its main tribe, the Warfala, have a history of opposing Gadhafi. A 1993 coup attempt that started in Bani Walid and Misrata was swiftly crushed.

Water returning to parts of Tripoli
The deputy mayor of Tripoli says tap water is flowing again in most parts of the capital after a two-week outage that disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands people.
NTC officials have said the outage was caused by sabotage by retreating loyalists of Muammar Gaddafi.
It was not immediately if the water was back for good and if all damage has been repaired.
The deputy mayor, Usama el-Abed, told The Associated Press that the flow of water to most Tripoli neighborhoods was restored today.
For the past two weeks, Tripoli’s nearly 2 million residents have survived on brackish water from wells and drinking water delivered by trucks and ships from neighboring countries.

NATO: Bombing of Libya most accurate ever
NATO’s top official says the bombing campaign against Libya is unique due to the unprecedented precision of the alliance’s airstrikes.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said today that no air operation in history had been so accurate and so careful in avoiding civilians casualties.
NATO has conducted 22,000 sorties, including over 8,000 strike missions, since the first attacks were launched in March.
Fogh Rasmussen says the alliance had degraded a war machine built up over more than 40 years, and that the airstrikes would continue until “the threat is over for good.”
NATO has been criticized for overstepping its limited U.N. mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect threatened civilians.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to welcome an investigation into “significant” accusations that the UK security services became “too close” to Libya.
Documents discovered in Tripoli following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorial regime appear to suggest that the UK traded information with Libya in return for intelligence extracted from terror suspects under interrogation in Libyan prisons.
MI6 has been implicated in having certain people tortured, violating British law. This was supposed to have been done durring the tenure of Tony Blair. Anita says the finding speaks of a moral vacum at the heart of British government.

NATO to continue until NTC ensures security
NATO’s bombing campaign against Libya has been unique in history due to the unprecedented precision of the alliance’s airstrikes but it has also highlighted shortcomings in the arsenals of its European members, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said today
Fogh Rasmussen also said the attacks would continue until Libya’s opposition National Transition Council is able to ensure security throughout the country and would not stop even if Muammar Gaddafi is captured.
“What will play a crucial role is the capability of the National Transition Council to actually ensure effective protection of the civilian population, because that’s the key in our UN mandate,” he said.
Fogh Rasmussen said that NATO has been implementing the mandate with “unprecedented precision.”
“No comparable air operation in history has been so accurate, and so careful in avoiding harm to civilians,” he said.
NATO has conducted 22,000 sorties, including over 8,000 strike missions, since the first attacks were launched in March.
Gadhafi’s regime frequently claimed civilians were killed in the airstrikes leading up to the fall of the Tripoli, but the reports have not been independently confirmed until now.
Russia and China have accused the alliance for overstepping its U.N. Security Council mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians. African Union nations, which pushed for a negotiated solution to the war, have said that the NATO-led bombing bombings had undermined their peace efforts.
The Libyan campaign also exposed deep rifts within the Western military alliance itself. Only eight of the alliances 28 members agreed to participate.
Fogh Rasmussen said that although European allies and Canada led the effort, the mission could not have been accomplished without capabilities which only the U.S. military could offer, such as drones, intelligence and refueling and transport aircraft.
“Let me put it bluntly, those capabilities are vital for all of us,” he said. “More allies
should be willing to obtain them.”
The alliance plans to formulate a set of proposals ahead of the alliance’s summit in May in Chicago on how to improve pooling and sharing of resources among member states whose defense budgets have been steadily shrinking at a time of economic austerity.

#AlQaeda offshoot acquires Libyan air missiles, says EU. Have Libya’s weapons fallen in the wrong hands?
At a news conference marking the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, de Kerchove said that while the threat of strikes by mainstream Al-Qaeda followers had decreased, AQIM was taking root both on the Arab peninsula and in Africa, posing a mounting threat.
“It is a group that is Africanizing and seeking to extend its area of influence,” he said.
Like other Al-Qaeda affiliates in Pakistan and elsewhere, AQIM had gained support
among locals by using ransom money and possibly drug-related income to fund social services unavailable from cash-strapped African governments.

Basically, Breaking news update from Sebha
Mercenaries from Darfur are present in the ‘Pipe’ factory north of Sebha. They number about 300. They are heavily armed with AA guns!
Families and members of the Gaddadfa tribe are fleeing in large numbers, escaping to Niger, after emptying the Central Bank Reserve.
NATO have attacked Mas3ud Abdulhafid C&C centre in Sebha. It was the ‘South Factory’ – Masna3 Aljanub.
As a result, Mas3ud Abdulhafid held a meeting of Gaddadfa members (G-goons) and told them explicitly that the regime was finished.
He told them that he was planning on escaping to Niger. However, the younger members in the meeting did not want to surrender.
After Mas3ud Abdulhafid left for Niger, Sebha lost its ‘leading authority’ and there is now no central or regime control in the city.
An officer from the Gaddadfa tribe told FF that the mercenaries from Darfur was only there to provide a safe escape route for G-goons.
The Humanitarian situation in the city is getting worse by the day. There will be a crisis in approx. a week.
These were all events that had occurred yesterday.
Currently, families from the tribe are still fleeing. But the mercenaries are the problem. FF only have light weapons!
I should clarify that the water that returned to Tripoli was a result of FFs from Shati from Hassawna tribe. They lost 3 matyrs.
They attacked the Gaddafi troops that had control of the GMMR control switch in ‘Jebel Hasawna’ …
The truth of the matter, is that Gaddafi’s tribe is giving up as the fight is pointless, not that they are losing to SebhaFF
When Bani Walid and Sirte fall, it will end I believe, as it seems, they do not want a last stand in Sebha.

Shell has one of the oldest relationships with Syria dating back to 1949.8 It produces
with its joint venture partners an average 100,000 bpd. Total formed its Syrian operation in 1988 and in 2008 renewed its partnership sharing agreement with Syria during French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s visit to Syria confirming France’s continued interest in the company’s activities in the country. Total produces an average 27,000 bpd from its fields around Deir ez Zour.18 A more recent entrant into the Syrian oil sector, who has increased oil production levels, is United Kingdom’s Gulfsands Petroleum. At the beginning of 2011, its oil fields produced 20,700 bpd.19 Gulfsands has been controversially linked with Syrian tycoon Rami Makhlouf, a cousin of the Syrian president and a focus of the 2011 Syrian protests, who owns a 5.7 percent stake in the company.10 Other international players include: Canada’s Suncor, Poland’s Kulczyk, US-Eygptian firm IPR, Croatia’s INA, Russia’s Stroytransgas, and Triton Singapore.8

The team includes staff from the FCO and DFID. It will join a small FCO-led advance party that deployed to Tripoli last week.
The arrival of this team marks another significant step in the UK’s relations with the new Libya, and reflects the progress the NTC has made in improving security and
stability on the ground. It will help strengthen relations with the NTC authorities and support their efforts to rebuild Libya. The team will also liaise with international organisations in order to help address humanitarian needs in Tripoli and the surrounding areas."

Libyan spy files detail Gadhafi regime’s collapse
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — As the uprising grew against Moammar Gadhafi, secret reports from his vaunted intelligence service flowed back to Tripoli. Some were mundane – how agents erased anti-regime graffiti. Others were more deadly – a spy volunteered to poison rebel leaders’ food and drink.
The reports grew more desperate as the Libyan rebellion veered into civil war: Military leaders in the western mountains were disregarding orders; troops in the city of
Misrata ran out of ammunition, turning the situation into “every man for himself.”

Is anyone paying attention to the rise and rise of Qatar?
The country’s quick backing of the Libyan rebel council was the behaviour of a reliable international relations player.
The man standing next to Cameron, Sarkozy and Merkel in the recent pictures at the Elysee Palace to mark the first ‘Friends of Libya’ meeting is the Emir of Qatar. Back in March Qatar was first, after France, in publically recognising the Libyan Opposition group, the National Transitional Council. Qatar then went on to not only provide military support for the NATO operation in Libya, but also played a proactive mediation role with members of the Arab League in gathering support for the NATO intervention.
Qatar has also shown strong political leadership, willingness and influence in bilateral
relations with its Arab neighbours throughout the Arab Spring — from rumours of having frozen their investments in Syria, to public messages of support for the opposition in Syria and Yemen — though Qatar’s role may not always seem consistent, as with Bahrain.

We passed by a huge demo in martyrs square in Zawiya earlier, ill try to upload pictures.
There are pretty long queues for getting out of Libya at Ras Ijdir, but no queues to get in.
Last night there was a 12 hour wait at Ras Ijdir to get into Tunisia
There are long queues for petrol along the road from Tunisia to Tripoli, and there is no diesel at all available.
very long queues, unclear why people were leaving
Central Zawiya is a complete wreck, yet there were thousands of people in martyrs square where there’s a stage like the Benghazi one
it was a celebration demo, songs, flag waving etc.
Power is available in almost all the areas of Tripoli, and wimax is functioning too, though it is slow.
Algeria closes Libya border
Algeria on Sunday (September 4th) announced the temporary closure of all border crossing points with Libya as a security precaution.
“A new situation has been created by the Libyan crisis, notably through the arms flow and the massive exodus of people from this country,” Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci said.
The issue will be discussed at a September 7th-8th security meeting in Algiers, which will bring together officials from Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Algeria.
“Based on the nature of the relations between our two countries, we can only say that the relationship between us will improve with the return of stability to Libya,” Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia said Sunday on the sidelines of the opening of Parliament’s autumn session.

NATO PRESS RELEASE:
We will complete our mission, NATO Secretary General says
The NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen attended the International Conference on Libya in Paris on 1 September 2011. During the meeting, the Secretary General emphasised that “we are determined to continue our mission for as long as attacks and threats continue, but not a day longer than necessary.”
The Secretary General praised the successful implementation of the UN mandate. “From the very beginning, our mission has been to protect the Libyan people”, he said, “we have managed to prevent a massacre and countless lives have been saved”.
“Today, the future of Libya is in the hands of the Libyan people”, Mr. Rasmussen said, insisting that this future would have to rest on reconciliation, unity and rule of law, not on repression, division and injustice. While the United Nations will hold the leading role in supporting the Libyan people and the National transitional Council throughout that process, NATO stands ready to play a supporting role, if and when so requested.
Prior to the Conference, Mr. Rasmussen visited the base of the “Force Océanique Stratégique” on l’Aîle Longue (Finistère) together with the Minister of Defence, Mr. Gérard Longuet. On 2 September, he will meet with French President Sarkozy, as well as with French Foreign Alain Juppé to discuss a wide range of NATO-related issues, including Libya and Afghanistan.

Large numbers of Special Air Service (SAS) officers are using ships docked off the Libyan coast to launch searches for the elusive strongman and his network of supporters, a source in the country told the news provider.

Cardiff surgeon Nizar Mhani’s role in Libyan uprising
A surgeon from south Wales has spoken of his role at the forefront of the Libyan uprising.
Nizar Mhani, 30, left Cardiff for the Libyan capital Tripoli in February to “play his part” in overturning Col Gaddafi’s 42-year grip on the country.
After running a campaign of civil disobedience, Mr Mhani went underground after being publicly denounced and hunted by security forces.
He told BBC Radio Wales he had “a real urge” to be part of Libya’s history.
Mr Mhani spoke as the new interim leaders of Libya urged loyalist troops in their few remaining strongholds to surrender, and speculation spread about Col Gaddafi’s whereabouts.

Libya: The triumphalism of the US media
No doubt, the US and its NATO proxies tipped the military balance in favour of the Benghazi-based rebels. It’s hard for any government to defend itself when denied the use of its own airspace as enemy missiles and bombs blast away its infrastructure over the course of more than 20,000 sorties.
Still, it was Libyans who took the biggest risks and paid the highest price. They deserve the credit.

Aljazeera
The US has played a key role in the battle to end Muammar Gaddafi’s rule over Libya.
But Al Jazeera has uncovered evidence that influential Americans have been trying to help Gaddafi cling to power.
The officials involved are a member of the Congress and a former ambassador.
The documents were found in the offices of Libyan intelligence building, which was abandoned as Libyan fighters took over Tripoli.
Deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam has vowed on an Arabic TV channel to continue resistance, Reuters news agency reported.
He said Sirte has more than 20,000 armed youths.
“We would like to tell our people that we are well and good. The leader is fine. We are ready to fight. I tell our men to strike back against the rats,” he is quoted as saying on pro-Gaddafi TV.
China’s top official newspaper warned Western powers to let the United Nations lead post-war reconstruction in Libya, saying that Beijing would seek to defend its economic stake after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi, Reuters reported.
The People’s Daily laid bare Beijing’s qualms about the influence the US, European powers and NATO may claim in post-war Libya.
UK
Britain’s Royal Air Force flew in crates of freshly printed bank notes worth $227 million to Libya on Wednesday to help its new rulers pay public workers and banks to replenish cash machines.
The cash — 280 million Libyan dinars — is part of a consignment of new notes worth about $1.5 billion ordered from British printing company De La Rue Plc by Muammar Gaddafi which was blocked by Britain in March in one of the first moves to pressure the Libyan leader into easing a crackdown on protests.
Now National Transitional Council forces have overthrown Gaddafi, Britain is releasing the cash to ease the country’s cash flow problems. The remainder of the money will be delivered “shortly,” Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement
Saadi
Saadi Al-Gaddafi has said in a TV interview that he had his father’s authorisation to talk to National Transitional Council NTC to stop the bloodshed in Libya.
“We acknowledge that they (the NTC) represent a legal party, but we are also the government and a legal negotiating party,” he said.
Reuters
World leaders meet in Paris on Thursday to discuss Libya’s future, with hosts France and Britain hoping to show that a costly military campaign can lead to a political transition that avoids the mistakes of Iraq.
Big powers, gathered to coordinate the political and economic reconstruction of the oil-producing North African state, will also be jostling over business interests there.
Libya’s interim council has promised rewards for those who took a lead role in backing the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi.
“The objective is to turn the page and get behind the new authority,” a French government source said.
Russia
Russia recognised the NationalTransitional Council (NTC) as Libya’s legitimate authorities on Thursday, moving to increase its influence in postwar reconstruction and protect its economic interests in the oil-producing North African nation.
“The Russian Federation recognises the National Transitional Council as the current authorities and takes note of its declared reform programme, which calls for the development of a new constitution, the holding of general elections and the formation of a government,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
France
France has got approval to release 1.5 billion euros ($2.16 billion) of Libyan assets to help the country’s interim ruling council rebuild the country, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Thursday.
Juppe, interviewed on RTL radio shortly before the start of an international conference on Libya in Paris, said the situation in Libya had largely stabilised and it was time now to help the interim rulers after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
France revealed on Wednesday that it had asked the United Nations Sanctions Committee to unfreeze 1.5 billion euros ($2.16 billion) of a total 7.6 billion euros in assets parked in French banks.
“We have to help the National Transitional Council because the country is devastated, the humanitarian situation is difficult and there’s a lack of water, electricity and fuel,” Juppe said.
AP
Libyan rebels have captured Moammar Gadhafi’s foreign minister, a rebel official said Thursday.
Ahmed Said, an adviser to the interior minister in the rebels’ interim government, confirmed that the foreign minister had been captured but he did not identify him by name.
“We cannot give you details, but I can confirm that he is in custody,” Said said.
A week ago, Gadhafi’s Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told British broadcaster Channel 4 that Gadhafi’s 42-year rule was over.
Reuters
Ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is believed to be in the desert town of Bani Walid, about 150 (95 miles) southeast of Tripoli, a top military commander of Libya’s interim council said on Thursday.
Abdel Majid, the coordinator of the Tripoli military operations room, told Reuters “someone we trust” had said Gaddafi had gone there with his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi three days after Tripoli fell last week.

Algeria’s foreign minister says his government is certain that al-Qaeda’s north African branch has obtained weapons on the black market that has flourished during the civil war in neighboring Libya.
Mourad Medelci says that countries across north Africa have seen proof “on the ground” that al-Qaeda has taken advantage of the instability in Libya to procure new
weapons with which to expand its activities.
“It’s not just a worry or a feeling, it’s a certainty,” Medelci said in an interview on French radio station Europe 1.
Medelci is in Paris to participate in an international conference seeking to map Libya’s future.
The diplomat said that Libya is “vulnerable” during its transition to al-Qaeda members taking refuge within its borders. – Reuters

Firms Aided Libyan Spies
TRIPOLI—On the ground floor of a six-story building here, agents working for Moammar Gadhafi sat in an open room, spying on emails and chat messages with the help of technology Libya acquired from the West.
Libya is one of several Middle Eastern and North African states to use sophisticated technologies acquired abroad to crack down on dissidents. Tech firms from the U.S., Canada, Europe, China and elsewhere have, in the pursuit of profits, helped regimes block websites, intercept emails and eavesdrop on conversations.
Amesys in 2009 equipped the center with “deep packet inspection” technology, one of the most intrusive techniques for snooping on people’s online activities, according to people familiar with the matter.
On Feb. 15 of this year, as anti-government demonstrations kicked off in Benghazi, Libyan telecom official Bashir Ejlabu convened a meeting in Barcelona with officials from Narus, the Boeing unit that makes Internet monitoring products, according to a person familiar with the meeting. “The urgency was high to get a comprehensive system put in place,” the person said.

American college kid joins Libya rebels for one ‘sick vacation’
‘This is one of the few real revolutions,’ says Chris Jeon. ‘I just thought I’d come check it out.’ Is he worried about his safety? ‘I believe in destiny,’ he says.
Why is he here?
“This is one of the few real revolutions,” he said. “I just thought I’d come check it out.”
It’s an unusual summer break for a college student, especially for a math major at University of California, Los Angeles, who says he spent his last spring break in Quebec. But Mr. Jeon is near the front lines of a conflict that has already taken thousands of lives, and is likely to cost many more if rebels launch a planned assault on Mr. Qaddafi’s hometown of Sirte.

Not Good Haters: Libya’s Amazigh Minority
Ann Marlowe
After a cumulative two months in Libya, I’ve come to believe that the fears of an Iraq-style post-Qaddafi fragmentation are misplaced. Many Libyans express the wish to kill Qaddafi—but not his fighters. This augurs well for the future of this closely knit, small-population country. Even ethnic tensions here are at a lower key, with the Berber minority seeking cultural freedom but not separatism.

Negotiations between the National Transitional Council NTC and the tribes of Harawa and Sirte, reportedly include some Gaddafi loyalists. Both groups have laid out a series of conditions:
- The Magharba tribe based in the Bin Jawad area have been given the role of negotiating on behalf of the NTC.
- The tribes of Sirte and Harawa want guarantees that Libya’s fighters will not loot, burn public building or search housese.
- The NTC wants all weapons that Gaddafi dstributed to the tribes, handed over.

Gaddafi used the Syrian-owned Arrai channel to broadcast a voice message where he called on his supporters to set Libya alight and vowed his supporters would not give up. “Let there be a long fight and let Libya be engulfed in flames,” said Gaddafi ”We will not give up. We are not women. We will continue fighting.”

The Dutch prime minister’s office announced that it has requested the United Nations sanctions bureau to release frozen Libyan funds.

Clinton calls on UN seat for the NTC
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today that the NTC should be given the country’s United Nations seat but they should also work with their former foes.
Addressing a meeting of world powers on Libya, Clinton also said that the NATO military campaign which supported the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi should carry on as long as civilians are under threat, despite his overthrow.
Clinton said foreign governments would watch closely to make sure the National Transition Council (NTC) holds to its promises to establish a fair democracy.
United Nations sanctions on Libya should start to be lifted in a responsible way and the new leaders awarded Libya’s U.N. seat, she said.
“The work does not end with the end of an oppressive regime,” Clinton told the “Friends of Libya” conference hosted by France and Britain.
“Winning a war offers no guarantee of winning the peace that follows. What happens in the coming days will be critical.”
Clinton met with NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil before the talks with high-level delegations from 60 countries and world bodies to map out Libya’s political and economic reconstruction after Gaddafi’s overthrow. .
With Gaddafi loyalists still putting up scattered but strong resistance and the fugitive strongman still on the run, Clinton said it was too early to end the NATO-led military mission.
“We must see our military mission through to its conclusion. Coalition military operations should continue as long as civilians remain under threat of attack,” Clinton said in prepared remarks distributed to journalists.
In a nod to the lessons of Iraq, where the dissolution of Saddam Hussein’s military following his overthrow was seen as a central factor behind the country’s ensuing violence, Clinton said Libya’s new leaders should work together even with those who once opposed them.

Pro al-Gaddafi left 29 detainees to suffocate while locked inside metal containers in the sweltering June heat in north-western Libya, Amnesty International has discovered. Nineteen of the detainees died as a result of the ordeal.
Three survivors have described how al-Gaddafi loyalists tortured them and then imprisoned them along with 26 others in two cramped
cargo containers on 6 June at a construction site in al-Khums, 120 km east of Tripoli.

Gaddafi asks loyalists to ‘resist aggression’
Muammar Gaddafi has urged his supporters to keep up their resistance to the uprising in Libya that has forced him into hiding, the Syria-based Al-Rai television channel said.
The toppled leader asked his supporters to continue what he called “struggle against foreign aggression” and said those against him were divided, he was quoted as saying in a message.
He vowed again not to surrender, saying he would carry on fighting, the pro-Gaddafi television channel said.
“Even if you cannot hear my voice, continue the resistance,” Gaddafi said.
“We will not surrender. We are not women and we are going to keep on fighting,” the message said.
Gaddafi called on his supporters to set Libya alight, vowed that his backers would not give up, he said in the message.
“Let there be a long fight and let Libya be engulfed in flames.” He said the “balance of power is now leveled as all tribes are now armed”.
The pro-Gaddafi station carried written extracts from a message from the fallen leader, saying it would be broadcast later.
Gaddafi’s location
The fugitive leader was speaking on the 42nd anniversary of the military coup that toppled King Idris and brought him to power in 1969 when he was a 27-year-old army captain.
There have been conflicting reports about Gaddafi’s location since his Tripoli compound was overrun on August 23.
A senior military commander of the Libyan interim leadership said Gaddafi was in a desert town outside Tripoli, along with his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, planning a fight-back.
All three fugitives are wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
Abdel Majid Mlegta, co-ordinator of the Tripoli military operations room, told Reuters news agency “someone we trust” had said Gaddafi had fled to Bani Walid, 150km southeast of the capital.
He said Ali al-Ahwal, Gaddafi’s coordinator for tribes, was also in Bani Walid, a stronghold of the powerful Warfalla tribe, Libya’s biggest tribe among a population of six million, but many say their loyalty is divided.
“We are capable of ending the crisis but military action is out of the question right now,” Mlegta said.
“We cannot attack this tribe because many of our brigades in Benghazi and Zintan are from Bani Walid. The sons of Bani Walid hold the key.”
An Algerian newspaper said Gaddafi was in the border town of Ghadamis and had tried to call Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to appeal for refuge.
Bouteflika would not take the call, even though Algeria gave sanctuary to Gaddafi’s wife and three of his children when they crossed the border on Monday.

NATO statement at end of #libya conference in Paris…
The NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen attended the International Conference on Libya in Paris on 1 September 2011. During the meeting, the Secretary General emphasised that “we are determined to continue our mission for as long as attacks and threats continue, but not a day longer than necessary.”
The Secretary General praised the successful implementation of the UN mandate. “From the very beginning, our mission has been to protect the Libyan people”, he said, “we have managed to prevent a massacre and countless lives have been saved”.
“Today, the future of Libya is in the hands of the Libyan people”, Mr. Rasmussen said, insisting that this future would have to rest on reconciliation, unity and rule of law, not on repression, division and injustice. While the United Nations will hold the leading role in supporting the Libyan people and the National transitional Council throughout that
process, NATO stands ready to play a supporting role, if and when so requested.

In Tripoli, Celebrating More Than Ramadan’s End
The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr is always a time of joyous celebration in the Islamic world. The holiday’s arrival means that Ramadan, the long month of daytime fasting, is over, and friends and family gather to exchange gifts and share meals.
As it began Wednesday in Tripoli, the holiday carried even greater resonance this year because of the rebel takeover of the Libyan capital.
“It’s the big Eid this year,” says resident Alaa al-Najaa. “In my life, I haven’t seen the people before like that, especially the children.”
Now, Libyans are looking toward the future without dictator Moammar Gadhafi — and they describe feelings of both hope and fear.

Report: Gadhafi’s son was ready to sign peace treaty with Israel after Libya fighting
According to Austrian politician David Lasar, Seif al-Islam was also willing to act as middleman to secure the release of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit
An Austrian politician says one of Muammar Gadhafi’s sons told him Libya was ready to sign a peace treaty with Israel once the fighting in his country ended.
David Lasar also said Thursday that Seif al-Islam, Gadhafi’s longtime heir apparent, also told him he was ready to act as a middleman to secure the release of an Israel soldier held for more than four years by Hamas, the Palestinian faction controlling Gaza.
Lasar, a Vienna municipal political with the rightist Freedom Party, was in Libya last month on a trip coordinated between his party and Ayoub Kara, an Israeli deputy minister.
Lasar is Jewish, while Kara is a Druse, and both occasionally assume positions and take on missions that are unusual for their government or party.

In Tripoli, human rights workers are trying to salvage records from inside Libya’s most notorious prison, Abu Salim.
Over the course of several decades, thousands of Libyans are said to have been jailed and tortured in the prison by members of the Gaddafi regime.
Jeremy Bowen reports from Tripoli.

10 minutes ago, I was visiting with 3 women from Misrata in a Tunis hospital. We heard cries of pain from a room down the hall. 2 of us went to investigate.
A Western-looking woman comes out of the room as we approach.
My Misrata friend tells me she’s from Tripoli
The lady tells me the guy in pain is her brother.
She asks where I’m from. I say America.
Then she says she doesn’t care what
Then she scowls even more and says, she doesn’t care what I do, she hates me.
She says her brother is here because of my gov’t. To make the US happy. #libya
She says again, looking me straight in the eye as she pulls her green sweater closed, “I hate you.”
My Misrata friend pulls me away.
Apparently the injured guy is kataib, and this family supports #Gaddafi.

After we visited for awhile, I stepped out to the hall with my friend. His eyes were red & he wasn’t his normal self today.
Then he tells me his older brother (31) died today in Dafniya. Some sort of incident handling grenades or small bombs. #libya
His older brother fought in Misrata from the beginning. And fought at Babalazizya. And returned to Misrata. Only to die in
Dafniya today, while temporarily away from the fighting. My friend says he can’t tell his younger brother yet. Tomorrow.

Qaddafi Family Members Taken to Algeria by South Africans, New Age Reports
Some members of Muammar Qaddafi’s family were taken to Algeria from Libya by a team of 35 former South African special forces operatives who were paid $15,000 each for the operation, Johannesburg’s New Age newspaper said, citing an unidentified person who was asked to take part in the mission but declined.

Russia counts Libya losses after Kadhafi fall
MOSCOW — Russia’s firms stand to lose billions of dollars of deals in the new Libya, especially in the arms industry, after refusing to side with rebels in the battle with its old ally Moamer Kadhafi.
The Kremlin has refused to join Western powers in celebrating the rapid sweep into Tripoli by NATO-backed rebels and has also shown no sign of recognising the National Transitional Council as the legitimate authorities.
Russia had cultivated ties with Kadhafi since the Soviet era and joined the international stampede to the country’s energy riches once he unexpectedly renounced weapons of mass destruction in 2003.
The strategy involved massive arms sales that Kadhafi could pay off through contracts to develop energy deposits and a rail link between Tripoli and what became the rebel capital in Benghazi.

A brigade of the Warfalla tribe prepares to do a battle in Bani Walid, a Gaddafi stronghold which is also made up of the same tribe, our correspondent reports from the western mountains of Libya.
When asked how they feel about engaging in a battle, basically with their own people, the brigadesmen replied:
During Gaddafi’s time, tribes were important but now tribalism is dead in Libya. It is no longer relevant because Libya is all one tribe.
The brigade tells Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton that the battle will take place in Bani Walid, regardless of the National Transitional Council’s extension on Thursday of an earlier deadline for Gaddafi loyalists to surrender.
Switzerland
Switzerland is seeking United Nations permission to unfreeze some of the Libyan assets it blocked after the start of the uprising against Moammar Gaddafi. Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey said on Thursday that Switzerland wanted to hand over as soon as possible $420 million (SFr334 million) belonging to Libyan public entities “for the benefit of the Libyan people”.
Turkey
Turkey has decided to reopen its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli as of Friday
and appointed Ali Kemal Aydin as its new ambassador, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.
AFP
World leaders unblocked USD 15 billion in funds to help Libya’s victorious rebels rebuild their shattered country as fugitive strongman Muammar Gaddafi called for guerrilla warfare.
42 years to the day since Gaddafi stormed to power in a coup, senior envoys from over 60 countries met the leaders of the revolution that overthrew him to endorse the fledgling regime and offer practical support.
AFP
A council tasked with drafting a constitution for Libya should be elected within eight months ahead of presidential and legislative polls in early 2013, a rebel leadership official says.
“We have outlined a clear road plan, a transition period of about 20 months,” Guma al-Gamaty, the representative of the National Transitional Council (NTC) in Britain, told BBC radio.
Gamaty said the process of transition was already under way and the NTC would move properly to Tripoli within a few days. For the first eight months, the council would lead Libya, at the end of which time a council of about 200 people should have been directly elected, Gamaty said.
“This council … will take over and oversee the drafting of a democratic constitution that should be debated and then brought to a referendum,” he said.
Within a year of the council being put in place, final parliamentary and presidential elections should take place.
“So we have eight months and a year that will take us to final elections with both parliamentary and presidential elections,” Gamaty said.
“And then hopefully by the end of about 20 months the Libyan people will have elected the leaders they want to lead their country.”
EU
The European Union has lifted sanctions imposed on 28 Libyan entities, including ports, energy companies, banks and the national airline.
The partial lifting of the punitive action, which was imposed in the wake of the Qadhafi regime’s violent suppression of anti-government uprising, was published in the bloc’s official journal on Friday.
Libya’s Economic and Social Development Fund, the National Commercial Bank, Gumhouria Bank, Sahara Bank, First Gulf Libyan Bank, one British-registered company, Tekxel, and the Jawaby Property Investment fund are among companies removed from EU’s blacklist. Read full story here.

Libya’s Zoo struggles to keep animals alive
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The body of a gazelle lies near an empty feeding bin, flies swarming around the corpse. A male lion growls angrily, leaping toward the front of his cage when a rare visitor approaches the bars.
This is life in the Tripoli Zoo, which has found itself a casualty of the war to oust Moammar Gadhafi.
Once one of the city’s best-loved family destinations, today it is 110 dusty acres of listless animals and overgrown, sunburned grass. Empty bullet casings are scattered everywhere. A patch of black grass near the monkey cage shows where a rocket-propelled grenade hit. A turtle cage is cracked by gunfire, garbage is piled everywhere and three forlorn hippopotamuses hang their heads in a filthy pit, standing next to a shallow pool of fetid water. Because of the city’s water shortage, the zoo’s skeleton staff can only clean the animals’ cages every four or five days.

In Libya, Former Enemy Is Recast in Role of Ally
Abdel Hakim Belhaj had a wry smile about the oddity of his situation.
Lumpur airport, where he was subjected to extraordinary rendition on behalf of the United States, and sent to Thailand. His pregnant wife, traveling with him, was taken away, and his child would be 6 before he saw him.
In Bangkok, Mr. Belhaj said, he was tortured for a few days by two people he said were C.I.A. agents, and then, worse, they repatriated him to Libya, where he was thrown into solitary confinement for six years, three of them without a shower, one without a glimpse of the sun.
Tripoli, and, he says, is a grateful ally of the United States and NATO.

‘Huda the executioner’ – Libya’s devil in female form
When Colonel Gaddafi hanged his first political opponent in Benghazi’s basketball stadium, thousands of schoolchildren and students were rounded up to watch a carefully choreographed, sadistic display of the regime’s version of justice.
They had been told they would see the trial of one of the Colonel’s enemies.
But instead a gallows was dramatically produced as the condemned man knelt in the middle of the basketball court, weeping and asking for his mother, hands bound behind his back.

Libya’s transitional council outlines 20-month democratic roadmap
A council tasked with drafting a constitution for Libya should be elected within eight months, and presidential and legislative polls would take place in early 2013, a rebel leadership official said Friday.
“We have outlined a clear road plan, a transition period of about 20 months,” Guma al-Gamaty, the National Transitional Council’s representative in Britain, told BBC radio.
He said the process of transition was already under way and that the NTC would relocate to Tripoli within a few days.
For the first eight months the council would lead Libya, at the end of which time a council of about 200 people would have been directly elected, Gamaty said.
“This council … will take over and oversee the drafting of a democratic constitution, that should be debated and then brought to a referendum,” he said.
Within a year of the council being put in place, final parliamentary and presidential elections should take place, he said.
“So we have eight months and a year that will take us to final elections with both parliamentary and presidential elections,” said Gamaty.
“And then hopefully by the end of about 20 months the Libyan people will have elected the leaders they want to lead their country.”

Purported Gadhafi message says Libyan capital moved to his birthplace
“We are ready for a long, drawn-out war,” said Syrian television Al-Rai’s broadcast of a message from a man purported to be Gadhafi.
He said he has moved the Libyan capital to his native Sirte, where anti-Gadhafi forces were waiting on the outskirts for orders to attack.
The messages warned that Gadhafi’s fighters in Sirte were heavily armed and prepared to fight to the death.
Meanwhile, anti-Gadhafi forces on the outskirts of Sirte and Bani Walid have cut off supplies into the cities and amassed weaponry for heavy battle.

Libyans celebrate their freedom as they mourn the dead
Miles away from the crowded gatherings in the capital’s Martyr’s Square, a middle-aged man idly cycles through a largely deserted road in Tripoli.
You cannot miss his dazed look as he slowly winds through the open road against the traffic lane with an infectious smile firmly plastered on his face.
Further down the road, the walls have transformed into public canvases, where young men are eagerly leaving their artistic mark as they paint the red, black and green colours of the pre-Gaddafi monarchy flag. Alongside it are catch-phrases of revolutionary fervour.
The spirit of sheer elation at newly found freedoms is hard to ignore.

Final Chase: RT in Gaddafi’s top secret bunker
Time is running out for Colonel Gaddafi and his loyalists to agree to a peaceful surrender. The Libyan rebels have extended their deadline for his forces to lay down arms to avoid further bloodshed. NATO has vowed to stay in the country until the end of conflict and urged Libya’s interim authorities to negotiate a peaceful solution. Western leaders, discussing Libya’s future in Paris, have agreed to unfreeze Gaddafi assets, with the EU saying it will lift some of the sanctions imposed on the country. Meanwhile, Colonel Gaddafi, whose whereabouts is still unknown, has been recorded recently saying he’s ready to fight a long guerrilla war.
RT’s Maria Finoshina delved deeper underground in one of Gaddafi’s bunkers, thought
to be one of the hubs on his escape route.

Algeria moves Gaddafi’s family to capital
The Algerian authorities have decided to move members of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s family to the capital, Algiers, over safety concerns, the Egyptian website Al-Ahram said on Friday.
Gaddafi’s wife Safia, daughter Aisha, and two sons – Muhammad and Hannibal arrived in Algerian southeastern border zone on August 29. Clashes between opponents and die-hard supporters of the Gaddafi regime are taking place on the Libyan side of the border. Gaddafi’s family members will be under house arrest in the capital.
Gaddafi wife and children were taken to Algeria by a team of 35 former South African Special Forces operatives, who were paid $15,000 each for the operation, Johannesburg’s New Age newspaper said on Friday. The paper cited an unidentified person who was asked to take part in the mission, but declined.
The Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) is demanding the extradition of Gaddafi’s family from Algeria.
Gaddafi’s only daughter Aisha, has given birth to a girl since arriving in Algeria. Regional news reports suggest her pregnancy was a major factor in the decision by the Algerian authorities to grant the group refuge.

Rebel forces press toward Gadhafi’s hometown
TRIPOLI, Libya — Rebel forces are advancing toward Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown despite the extension of the deadline for the town’s surrender, rebel officials said Friday, as a U.N. officials warned that Libya faces critical but short-term shortages of drinking water, food and other supplies.
While fighting has subsided in much of Libya, including the capital Tripoli, the six-month civil war between rebels and Gadhafi’s forces disrupted supply lines and damaged infrastructure across the country, leaving many people in need of help.

Libya: Secret Past No Secret
Soon after the Libyan capital fell to the rebels, the most important symbols of Qaddafi’s regime collapsed, too, particularly the intelligence service department.
Libyan citizens were forbidden to pass by the building housing the department unless they had business there; it contains countless numbers of important files and documents considered to be confidential.
Al Arabiya walked in the corridors and offices of the building, which had been bombed by NATO forces; nothing was left of Qaddafi’s intelligence apparatus but remnants.
One Libyan man said that people had always been afraid to pass in front of the building, but now it is under the control of a group of rebels.

The Tripoli Uprising
The inside story of Libya’s underground revolutionaries as they organized, hid out, waited, and finally liberated the capital city.
TRIPOLI, Libya – One night late last month, in a sweltering apartment deep in the heart of Tripoli, a group of men gathered around the television to watch the evening news. The program was carried on Libya al-Ahrar, a Doha-based news channel beaming into Libya in support of the revolution. At precisely 8:30 p.m., after the breaking of the Ramadan fast and as locals were streaming to the mosques, the message these men were waiting for came: “Truly, we have granted you a clear victory,” the newscaster said, before signing off for the night.

There’s a leftover Gaddafi-era poster down the street from the hotel: “Democracy is the people controlling themselves.” #Tripoli
Al Arabiya
On Thursday, Muammar Qaddafi issued an audio message urging those loyal to him to fight; he also vowed to prevent any oil exports from the country and said “a war of gangs and urban warfare” is guaranteed.
The audio message, broadcast, on Al Arouba and Arrai television news, aired after world leaders agreed to free up billions of dollars of frozen assets to help rebuild Libya.
“You will not be able to pump oil for the sake of your own people. We will not allow this to happen,” Qaddafi said.
The statement was released on the 42nd anniversary of Qaddafi’s overthrowing of King Idris, which brought him to power in 1969.
Qaddafi is in hiding and a bounty of $1.6 million hangs over his head. Nonetheless, he also urged his supporters to continue fighting against the National Transitional Council and foreign powers.
“Get ready for a long war that was brought upon you. The occupation cannot continue this war in the long run. The occupation will weaken day by day and the resistance will grow stronger day by day. Get ready for a gang war, a war of gangs, urban warfare, guerrilla warfare and a war of bees that sting and run away and return to sting once more,” Qaddafi said.
Qaddafi’s whereabouts are unknown, and he has been on the run since his Tripoli compound was raided, on August 23.
According to the interim National Transitional Council, Qaddafi is said to be hiding with his son Seif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi in Bani Walid, a desert town outside the capital,
All three men are wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes.
Qaddafi’s Academy for Bodyguards
This military jacket is all that is left of the memories of Amira, a young woman who studied at the police officers academy before joining Muammar Qaddafi’s Revolutionary Guards. Amira, who had resigned from her post before the uprising began, had said that the job of being Qaddafi’s bodyguards attracted poor women who had no other source of income available to them.

Hannibal’s horrors: Others tell stories similar to burned nanny’s
Shweyga Mullah gestures a greeting to her visitors at Tripoli’s burn hospital. Her head wrapped in fresh bandages, her frail body under a red fleece blanket, Mullah is slowly regaining her dignity.
“Shweyga is not the only one,” he said, describing a Sudanese man who was also scalded with water after he burned an undershirt he was ironing.
He said the foreign staff bore the brunt of the abuse.
Another foreign nanny contacted CNN and described Aline Gadhafi as a “sadist” and a “psychologically sick” woman.

Libya’s new leaders order provincial fighters out of Tripoli
TRIPOLI: Libya’s new leaders have called on fighters from elsewhere in the country to leave the capital and go home, interim interior minister Ahmed Darrad told AFP on Friday.
“Tripoli is free and everyone should leave this town and go back to their own towns,” he said.
“Starting Saturday there will be a large number of security personnel and policemen who will go back to work,” said Darrad.
“Now the revolutionaries of Tripoli are able to protect their own city.”
The demand represents a first effort to defuse possible tensions between Tripoli’s freshly-emerged revolutionaries and the scores of hardened fighters who poured in from other surrounding towns to topple Moamer Qadhafi’s regime
“The responsibility for securing Tripoli should be in the hands of the sons of Tripoli,” Abdullah Naqir, head of the newly formed military council of Tripoli also told AFP on Friday.
“We are grateful for the work of brigades from Misrata, Zintan and elsewhere, but as soon as we finish organising our own ranks they should go and rest.”

Cameron attacks ‘armchair generals’
David Cameron has insisted the “armchair generals” who have criticised the Government’s defence cuts had been proved wrong by operations in Libya.
Despite continued claims that the Nato campaign had exposed the limits of British military resources, the Prime Minister said the UK had punched “above our weight”.
In a forceful rebuke to those who have doubted the wisdom of British intervention in Libya given recent defence cuts, he said: "A lot of armchair generals who said you couldn’t do it without an aircraft carrier, they were wrong.
“A lot of people who said Tripoli is completely different to Benghazi, the two don’t get on, they were wrong. People who said this is all going to be an enormous swamp of Islamists and extremists, they were wrong. People who said we were going to run out of munitions, they were wrong.”
Mr Cameron dismissed claims that the US saw Britain as a “weak ally” and stressed that the RAF had carried out about a fifth of all strike sorties against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces.

American joins ranks of Libya’s rebels
TRIPOLI, Libya – When the war started in Libya, Jamal Abed was working in the restaurant of a hotel in San Antonio. Just over six months later, the 28-year-old Libyan American was among the victorious rebel fighters who stormed Tripoli and took over the capital.
The son of a Libyan father and a Mexican mother, Abed was born and raised in the USA. A political science major at the University of Texas, he played football in middle school and high school and hung out with a Hispanic crowd.
But as he saw the Egyptian revolution unfold on the television at the restaurant where he worked, he knew that he had to head back to the country that his father had left in 1964.

An extensive media group of dozens of domestic and satellite radio and TV channels, newspapers and magazines vanished, leaving Col Gaddafi with severely limited choices.

MISRATA, Libya, Sept 2 (Reuters) – NTC forces in Libya’s third biggest city of Misrata said on Friday they were reinforcing security to intercept supporters of Muammar Gaddafi trying to infiltrate the area from their haven in nearby Sirte.
Leaders of the National Transitional Council (NTC) have said they would wait another week before attacking remaining Gaddafi strongholds such as his hometown Sirte and Bani Walid, both named as possible hiding places of the fugitive former Libyan leader.

Jibril, who is the second in command at the Transitional National Council of post-Gaddafi Libya, has held talks in Malta on his return from Paris after Thursday’s ‘Friends of Libya’ conference.
Jibril said security was of extreme importance for both Malta and Libya, and proposed a joint committee between the two countries to address security concerns on immigration and “possible infiltration of Gaddafi thugs on Maltese soil to create instability.”
Jibril, accompanied by Libya’s new Justice Minister Mohammed Al-Alagi and TNC Minister for media Mahmoud Shamam, held talks with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi at Castille and addressed a press conference before attending a working dinner.

Right of Return
As Muammar Qaddafi falters, representatives of Libya’s expatriate Jewish community are on a quixotic quest to become part of the country’s new governmen
Exactly one year ago, a Libyan Jew named Raphael Luzon returned to his native land for the first time in 43 years. It wasn’t a simple family vacation: It was the anniversary of Libya’s Independence—Sept. 1, 1969—when a 27-year-old army officer named Muammar Qaddafi staged a bloodless coup against King Idris, who had ruled the country since its independence from Great Britain in 1951. Luzon, the leader of a
Libyan Jewish exile organization based in the United Kingdom, was invited by Qaddafi himself.

Thousands of woman, who have often been absent for much of the fighting, gather in capital to celebrate fall of regime
housands of women have gathered in Martyrs’ square in the Libyan capital of Tripoli to add their voices to the chorus of celebrations marking an end to the rule of Muammar Gaddafi.
Women have often been publically absent during the revolution, but they used the occasion on Friday evening to take part in what has been called the “million women march”.
Al Jazeera’s Anita McNaught, reporting from Tripoli, said: “This is a family night, it is a night for women to come and say thank you to their men for helping liberate their country they tell us.”
McNaught said unlike many celebratory occasions in previous weeks, the gathering was peaceful, with no rifles or guns being fired.

A treasure trove of hundreds of thousands of secret documents uncovered by TIME and several other news organizations in the Libyan capital on Friday apparently reveals that the CIA and Britain’s MI6 maintained a close — even intimate — relationship with their Libyan counterparts dating as early as 2002, before the CIA had set up a “permanent” mission in Libya (which, according to the documents, began in 2004). United Nations sanctions were lifted in September 2003. U.S. economic sanctions ended in Sept. 20, 2004.

Algiers, ready to recognize the CNT
Algeria has sought Thursday to phase out its ambiguities on Libya, ensuring at an international conference in Paris that it is ready to recognize the Libyan transitional authorities and excluding hosting Muammar Gaddafi.
Invited by French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the international conference “friends of Libya,” the Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci began rallying from Algiers to the majority of the international community.
The Libyan National Transitional Council (CNT) “announces a new government representing all regions of the country,” noted the minister. “When this will be done, we will recognize it,” he said on French radio Europe 1, a few hours before the opening of the conference at the Elysee Palace.
Algeria is the only country in North Africa that has not recognized the representative body of the rebellion. Displaying a “strict neutrality” in the conflict tearing her neighbour, she was especially accused of supporting the ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi and gave a sense of growing isolation in front of the momentum created by the Arab revolution.
Algiers “has in all this an ambiguous attitude, it’s the least we can say,” noted Thursday French Minister of Foreign Affairs Alain Juppe.
Mourad Medelci said he had already spoken on the phone with the number two of CNT Mahmoud Jibril and that a meeting with its president, Mustapha Abdeljalil, was planned on the sidelines of the Paris conference.
“The CNT is the bearer of the will for emancipation and greater freedom of the Libyan people,” said Mourad Medelci, adding that Algeria was particularly hampered by foreign military intervention, led by France and Great Britain which led to the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
“If we had a problem with how the issue was addressed, this problem is mainly due to the fact that we are sensitive about the issue of sovereignty,” he said.

Seif al-Islam Qaddafi near Tripoli and sees victory, says his spokesman
Muammar Qaddafi’s son Seif al-Islam has been travelling around close to Tripoli, meeting tribal leaders and preparing to retake the Libyan capital, his spokesman said on Friday.
In a telephone call to Reuters in Tunisia from what he said was a “southern suburb of Tripoli,” Moussa Ibrahim derided the ability of the National Transitional Council to run the country after its rebel fighters forced Gaddafi into hiding and said their Western backers should negotiate with the ousted leader.
And he mocked “the irony” that NATO was now allied to an Islamist fighter who once had contact with al-Qaeda and to whom the new government has given military command of the capital.

Moussa Koussa’s secret letters betray Britain’s Libyan connection
Secret files have been unearthed by The Independent in Tripoli that reveal the astonishingly close links that existed between British and American governments and Muammar Gaddafi.
The documents chart how prisoners were offered to the Libyans for brutal interrogation by the Tripoli regime under the highly controversial “rendition” programme, and also how details of exiled opponents of the Libyan dictator in the UK were passed on to the regime by MI6.

Libya: An Update of MSF’s Activities
As teams from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins San Frontières (MSF) continued to evaluate medical facilities in Tripoli, they noted some improvements. Health staff are slowly returning to their hospitals and clinics. Patients have more access to facilities. The supply of water, medicine, electricity and fuel is slowly resuming, and MSF was able to send 20 tons of relief supplies into the city by boat—primarily medical supplies, water, and medicine.
The fighting in the capital created a huge need for surgical interventions, but the MSF medical and surgical teams that were supporting the emergency room and intensive care unit at Tripoli Central hospital saw the number of wounded patients decrease in recent days to the point where their assistance was no longer needed. That said, due to the earlier fighting, there is still a backlog of patients in city hospitals waiting for secondary surgical interventions. To help address the need, an MSF surgical team started working alongside local health personnel to operate on orthopedic cases at the Ben Ashour clinic in central Tripoli on September 1.
Additionally, an MSF psychologist is working in Tripoli Central hospital providing mental health support to medical staff and working with the psychiatry department, organizing training sessions on psychological first aid for nurses and volunteers.
Also in the capital, an MSF medical team is carrying out consultations at two sites where approximately 1,000 migrants have sought refuge; most of their medical complaints are linked to the deplorable living conditions in the ad hoc camps. The majority of people are staying in makeshift shelters without water, food, electricity or access to proper health care. They say they live in constant fear and are being intimidated and harassed by unidentified armed men. Most of the patients also suffer from psychosomatic complaints and show signs of stress due to extreme anxiety. Two MSF psychologists are setting up a mental health program in the camp.
Elsewhere in the country: In Zintan, the mental health program continues to work both in health facilities and in the community. MSF is also preparing to support the gynecological-obstetrics unit of the hospital with an OB/GYN, a midwife, and an anesthesist.
In Yefren, MSF is still supporting the hospital and is preparing to launch a small mental health support program. MSF is running a mental health program in Misrata, providing medical—and in particular, post operative care—and mental health activities for
prisoners in the military and civilian prisons and supporting Zliten Hospital with staff and materials. Two other MSF programs in Misrata hospitals are carrying out emergency surgery and trauma-related second-line surgery, in addition to physiotherapy for wounded patients who’ve undergone surgery. Lastly, MSF is providing psychological support to medical staff and patients in Benghazi.

At cemetery for Gadhafi fighters, grisly work goes on
MISRATA, Libya — A rudimentary cemetery sits on a sand dune overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Under headstones fashioned from cinder blocks lie the bodies of more than 700 men who Libyan revolutionaries say were killed fighting for former leader Moammar Gadhafi.
On Friday morning, the volunteers who perform Islamic burial rites and inter the bodies
arrived to find what’s become a common scene since the cemetery opened in March: Outside the wall lay the bodies of nine men, riddled with bullet wounds. They had been left there overnight, presumably by revolutionary fighters. Where they had been killed was unclear.

The negotiatons in Bani Walid are completely separate from the negotiations going on in Sirte, a field commander near Bani Walid told Turton.
“They hope that they will not have to liberate Bani Walid, because they think it will cause further bloodshed. They are hope that a surrender will not be on the cards.”

Turkey to reopen embassy in Libya
Turkey has decided to reopen its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli as of today and appointed Ali Kemal Aydin as its new ambassador, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.
World leaders agreed on Thursday to free up billions of dollars’ worth of frozen Libyan assets to help the country’s interim rulers restore vital services and start rebuilding after a six-month war that ended Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year rule.
Turkey, which once had close ties with Gaddafi, is expected to take a leading role in efforts to rebuild Libya, eyeing billion dollar deals and hoping to extend its influence in north Africa.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in February that NATO intervention in Libya was “out of the question”, but Ankara shifted its position as Gaddafi grew more isolated internationally.
It reluctantly backed NATO operations, called on Gaddafi to step down and recognised his opponents, the National Transitional Council, as the legitimate government. Ankara has provided the NTC with $300 million in cash, loans and other aid.
The foreign ministry said the new ambassador left Ankara on Thursday and was travelling via Tunisia to Tripoli.

Russia
Russia has invited members of Libya’s interim government to Moscow to discuss the future of Russian energy contracts in the country, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday.
“We will discuss all of this,” Lavrov told reporters after being asked about the fate of Russian oil contracts agreed with Libya’s deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi. “They (Libya’s interim government) offered to hold contacts, and we have invited their respective representatives to Moscow, at their request.”
“We will discuss all this with them.”
Indonesia
Indonesia said it supported Libya’s peaceful transition towards democracy following the downfall of Moamer Kadhafi.
“Indonesia supports the National Transitional Council in Libya in carrying out the
peaceful transition towards democracy,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said in a statement on Saturday.
Natalegawa said the process of the democratic transition must reflect the wishes and aspirations of Libyans.
“In the end, a political process which grants Libyans the chance to decide their own future is the best solution in resolving the issues in Libya,” he said.
APLibyan security agency documents seen by AP indicate intimate cooperation between Moammar Gadhafi’s ousted regime and British and American intelligence.
While the documents provide new details, reports of such cooperation have surfaced before. Libyan Muslim extremists have tried to kill Gadhafi, and have held senior al-Qaida positions.
Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, commander of the anti-Gadhafi force that now controls Tripoli, is the former leader of an Islamic group who says he was tortured by CIA agents at a secret prison, then sent to Libya.
Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch, which found the documents in a Libyan security agency building, says they indicate American officials were sometimes present during interrogations — something the United States has denied.
NTC
NTC leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil, who returned to Libya on Friday following a meeting with international leaders in Paris, confirmed that the relocation will take place soon.
‘With God’s will, we will go to Tripoli in the next week, but before we go we salute the people and revolutionaries of Benghazi,’ he said in comments reported by BBC News.
BBC reporter Jon Leyne explained the NTC now believes Tripoli is safe enough to house its headquarters and has the money to operate from the capital.

This is the moment Kristen Chick, of the Christian Science Monitor, and I found Chris Jeon at the front-line town of An Nawfiliyah in Libya. On the right is our translator, Jamal, who was trying to help him communicate with his rebel brethren for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn’t capture footage of him firing an AK-47 in the air – we tried to duck out of the scene at that moment because it wasn’t clear he knew what he was doing with the gun…
At the moment this was filmed, I had no idea who he was or where he was from, hence my question to Kristen: “Who is this guy?”

Libya, Syria and the Middle East on the agenda for EU Foreign Ministers meeting
Foreign Secretary William Hague attended an informal meeting of EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs – the “Gymnich” on 2-3 September in Sopot, Poland
Libya was high on the agenda. Speaking to Sky News while in Sopot, the Foreign Secretary talked about the situation on the outskirts of Sirte, saying that the National Transitional Council are extremely conscious of the need to avoid civilian casualties:
“There are many places that they have gained militarily over the course of the conflict, particularly in the last two weeks: the towns on the outskirts of Tripoli and then Tripoli itself – very importantly, the actual capital city. And they have done that without causing civilian casualties.
“The threat to civilian life, the indiscriminate attacks on civilians or the murder of prisoners has always come, so far as we can see, from the remnants of the Qadhafi regime and I’m sure that will continue to be the case.”
He said that the National Transitional Council want to avoid an unnecessary battle:
“That is why they have been negotiating with the tribes around Sirte. That is why they – and all of us – would much prefer the remaining forces loyal to the remnants of the regime to lay down their arms. They are in a fairly hopeless military position so it is time for the conflict to stop.”
Syria and the Middle East Peace Process were also on the agenda, as well as the EU’s Eastern Partnership, and EU initiatives towards the southern neighbourhood.
Foreign ministers of EU candidate countries also attended parts of the meeting.
The Gymnich format derives its name from a castle in Western Germany where the first informal meeting of EU Ministers was held in 1974. The informality of the meeting refers to the fact that while engaging in a free and in-depth discussion on a limited number of topics, the Ministers do not draw up any formal, written conclusions.

HOW #BaniWalid FELL: “There was a surprise movement this afternoon,” #Tripoli ’s rebel military commander, Abdul Hakim Belhaj, said. “The #Gaddafi brigades appear to have abandoned their checkpoints.”
“The radio station is under the control of the revolutionary people, and flags have been put up on a lot of the high buildings in Bani Walid.”
Belhaj said the approaches to the town were not yet fully secure, but estimated that 90% of Bani Walid was now backing the rebels.
Three of Gaddafi’s sons – Mutassim, #Saif al-Islam and Saadi – are believed to have been staying in the military bases, while the Warfalla tribe, which controls Bani Walid, debated their future. Rebel officials in #Tahouna and #Tripoli had told tribal leaders that the town would soon be attacked if the tribe did not surrender the Gaddafis.
The impetus for the apparent departure seemed to be a local uprising, which saw green loyalist flags torn down and regime checkpoints on Bani Walid’s outskirts evacuated. It was not immediately clear whether the uprising was localised to one area, or had spread to other parts of Bani Walid.
Rebels were planning to send forays into town to test the mood of the people, who had largely been loyal to the ousted Gaddafi regime since the fall of Tripoli. They had expected to confront 500-600 loyalist soldiers with about 2,000 rebels.
Residents had, in recent days, given the leaders of Tahouna’s rebel brigade regular updates on the whereabouts of Saif al-Islam and Mutassim, suggesting cracks in tribal solidarity. Tribal leaders had earlier told rebels they felt bound by custom to protect their guests.
If military units carrying the Gaddafi sons have fled, they have few places to run to. The main road south-west is controlled by rebels after about 60 miles, meaning it is likely they would be forced to take a more difficult escape route through barren landscapes which become ever more treacherous the further south they go.
More troubling for any overland escape is that it would be detectable by #Nato surveillance aircraft, which could track every move. Nato continues to play an active role in Tripoli and in the hunt for Colonel Gaddafi, with the RAF bombing six targets in Bani Walid over the past week.
Gaddafi is believed to have spent time in the town eight days ago before heading south. His whereabouts are unknown, but Nato and rebel officials believe he is hiding somewhere in an area from the southern town of #Sabha to the #Algeria n border – a vast tract of land on the fringes of the Sahara desert, where he can count on the protection of #Tuareg tribesmen":

Andrew Gilligan reports from the home of Matouk Mohammed Matouk, the prime suspect in the murder of WPc Yvonne Fletcher, and finds lurid wallpaper, a cage for a pet tiger and piles of arms documents
We waded, ankle-deep, through discarded Bond Street clothes, beneath six-deck chandeliers, past gilt-lined sofas. Near the front door, not far from the banqueting suite, was the cage for the family’s pet tiger.
Matouk Mohammed Matouk may be the prime suspect in the murder of WPc Yvonne Fletcher — but as one of Libya’s top officials, he ticked all the boxes of the Gaddafi lifestyle.
His enormous, square house, in the country outside Tripoli, is surrounded by a vineyard, unusual in a state were alcohol is banned: but then Mr Matouk has made a career of bending the rules. The Daily Telegraph spent the afternoon there, prising open the private world of one of Muammar Gaddafi’s most hated and feared enforcers.

Britain to ship $1 billion in banknotes to Libya
Britain will ship the remainder of $1.5 billion in frozen Libyan funds to Benghazi within a week, a senior official in the rebel government said on Friday, helping its new rulers to pay public workers and restore order in the war-torn country.
A portion of the funds amounting to around 280 million Libyan dinars, or around $234 million, reached Benghazi this week already by airplane.
The money is part of a consignment of freshly printed Libyan dinars worth about $1.5 billion ordered by Qaddafi from British printing firm De La Rue Plc but blocked by Britain in March after he began a violent crackdown on protests.
Many of the delivered notes still bear the face of the deposed leader, whose image elsewhere in the eastern city of Benghazi is openly mocked in graffiti.
“Most of it is coming by sea to Benghazi. It will come in a week’s time and it will be the rest of the $1.5 billion,” Fathi Baja, head of the National Transitional Council committee for political and international affairs told Reuters.
“We need lots of finances.”
Now that NTC forces have overthrown Qaddafi, Britain is releasing the money to ease a cash crunch. The remainder will be delivered shortly, Foreign Secretary William Hague said.
A second NTC member told Reuters that the British money already received was now in the central bank vault and would soon be distributed to commercial banks.
“We need a portion of money in hard currency (non-Libyan) to open up credit to buy oil products. At the same time we need Libyan currency for banks to pay government salaries,” said Mustafa el-Huni, NTC representative for Jufra in southern Libya.
The shortage of hard cash has been a problem throughout the conflict, with long lines often forming outside banks as people sought to take out their money.
International powers met in Paris on Thursday and agreed to make $15 billion immediately available to the new leaders, putting to the test their ability to govern and restore order in a country with beleaguered public services and a glut of heavy weapons. It is not clear yet how the money will be transferred to Libya.
“Education and security − these will take a large chunk of the money,” said Baja, referring to the $15 billion.
Libya’s schools are due to start on September 17, despite bombed-out classrooms, scarce transport and a curriculum based on Qaddafi’s green book – an account of his views of the world.
A portion of the money would be allocated to giving medical care and limb replacements to victims of land mines.
Libyan Council Cautious on Tripoli
BENGHAZI, Libya—The Libyan rebels’ governing body said on Saturday it would stay in this eastern stronghold and only partially relocate to Tripoli as long as much of the country’s interior and south remained in Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s grip, warning that the longtime leader and his sons still posed a serious threat even for the recently gained capital.
Meanwhile, Libya’s national soccer team made history on Saturday flying from Benghazi to Cairo to face Mozambique in the qualifiers of the African Nations Cup under the banner of the rebel flag.
“Danger should be expected as long as Moammar Gadhafi remains inside Libya,” the president of the rebel’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, told
reporters here a day after his return from Paris where the French government hosted a major international conference on Libya.
“His sons are still issuing threats day after day and as such there’s an expected danger and caution is in place,” added Mr. Abdul Jalil, referring to a call by Col. Gadhafi’s son Seif el-Islam this week for loyalists to wage an insurgency against the rebels.

Institutional corruption investigations underway
Investigations are underway to expose any institutional corruption in Libya and cities that have not joined the revolution have been given a one week notice to do so, head of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdel Jalil said in a press conference on Saturday.
“At this time there has been some information on financial corruption within institutions will investigate this matter and report the names,” said Abdel Jalil.
He added that cities that have not joined the revolution will be given a one week notice to do so and that the NTC has no plans to collect arms from revolutionaries Tripoli. “There is no mandate from the NTC to collect arms,” he said.

Friends of Libya” meeting in New York Sept 20
A second “Friends of Libya” conference will be held in New York on Sept. 20 to help with reconstruction after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said on Saturday.
Western powers met the National Transitional Council (NTC), in Paris on Thursday in a first “Friends of Libya” conference. They handed over $15 billion of Gaddafi’s foreign assets to start the rebuilding job.
“The conference will be on Sept. 20,” Frattini told reporters on the margins of a conference.
Frattini reiterated that Italy would maintain its role as Libya’s leading partner in the oil sector.
“It has always been so and will continue that way. We confirm all our commitments,” he said.
Italian oil and gas group Eni is Libya‘s biggest foreign oil operator, producing about 270,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2010.
The state-controlled company, in Libya since 1959, has oil production contracts in force to 2042 and gas contracts to 2047.
“I see that other countries too, such as Russia, are engaged in confirming their oil contracts in Libya. What is important is that Italy remains the leading foreign partner in the country,” Frattini said.
Some analysts are concerned that Eni could lose assets or opportunities in the long run if Italy’s hesitancy in supporting the new government early in the conflict leads to a backlash.
Eni has said it hopes to restart gas exports from Libya by mid-October. Libya provides about 12 percent of Italy’s gas needs.

Khamis Gaddafi and the mystery of Jeremy Bowen’s notebook
Colonel Gaddafi’s son and most feared military commander appears to have planned his last-ditch defence of the regime in the back of a notebook taken from the BBC correspondent Jeremy Bowen
Khamis Gaddafi, or one of his close military aides, wrote reminders to himself in the black-covered, A5-sized book as he planned what seem to be the final battles
The notebook contains chilling lists of named individuals to be “searched for,” and presumably detained or murdered.
The book was recovered last Friday from the wreckage of a military convoy led by Khamis, in which he was apparently killed.
It was shown to The Sunday Telegraph by rebel commanders who carried out the attack on the convoy.
In the front of the book, meanwhile, are Mr Bowen’s earlier notes about the frustrations of life in pre-revolutionary Libya, and the challenges of reporting under strict supervision. On one page, Mr Bowen appears to have written a prisoner’s wall chart, crossing off the days until he is out of Libya.
He said last night: "It is very curious. I lost this book on a government-organised bus trip to Misurata in April.

Algeria said this week that it had allowed a two-vehicle caravan of Col. Muammar Khadafi’s relatives, including his second wife and three of his children, into the country. The flight of his relatives provides new evidence of surrender by the Khadafi clan as rebels tighten their hold on Tripoli, the capital.

Gadhafi’s Ukrainian nurse talks about life with ’Daddy
In the Ukraine house where she grew up, Oksana Balinskaya’s hazel eyes transfixed on television images of Moammar Gadhafi.
He was now a fallen leader, a fugitive sought for justice. He had been known as the ruthless leader of a pariah state, a butcher, a delusional man divorced from reality.
But Balinskaya, 25, who served as one of Gadhafi’s five Ukrainian nurses for nearly two years, had always seen him in a different light.

“Negotiations are over, and we are waiting for orders” to attack, said Mohammed al-Fassi, a rebel commander at a staging area about 45 miles from Bani Walid. “We wanted to do this without bloodshed, but they took advantage of our timeline to protect themselves.”
Libyan rebels are poised to attack one of Moammar Kadafi’s remaining strongholds, saying Sunday that surrender talks have collapsed.

Aljazeera
Libyan fighters who said they had tried to negotiate a peaceful transfer of power of Bani Walid, a key city still controlled by supporters of fugitive leader Muammar Gaddafi, have told Al Jazeera that talks had reached a stalemate and that the final push is going to happen in the next 24 hours.
According to members of the National Transitional Council, the talks failed mid-day on
Sunday after numerous attempts to move forward with a bloodless handover of control.
“Their time is over,” said Mahmoud Abdul Aziz, a political analyst and one of those on the negotiation team. “The push is going to happen in the next 24 hours.”
China
China is obstructing the release of Libya’s frozen assets, the head of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdel Jalil said in a news conference on Saturday. “China is obstructing the release of Libya’s frozen assets,” said Abdel Jalil, adding that Libyan rebel leader Mahmoud Jibril had earlier met with a representative of the Chinese government to further understand this “unexpected position”. It was not immediately clear what the precise complaint to Beijing was. China has not joined Western powers in formally recognising the NTC as the legitimate authority in Libya, but it has acknowledged its “important role” in the country following the overthrow last week of Muammar Gaddafi.
South Korea
South Korea will this week reopen its embassy in Tripoli which closed in May, and construction firms will also soon resume work thanks to the improved security situation, a report said Sunday. Diplomats who have been staying in neighbouring Tunisia during the conflict, including ambassador Jo Dae-Sik, will return to the Libyan capital this week, Yonhap news agency said, citing a government official.
Cuba
Cuba has announced the withdrawal of its ambassador and diplomatic mission in Libya and reiterated that it does not recognize the rebels’ transitional government.It also has denounced the NATO military intervention that helped drive Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi into hiding, saying the bombing killed “thousands” of civilians. It warned that NATO’s conduct could create similar conditions for an outside militaryintervention in Syria, which has been roiled by popular protests as well. Cuba is a longtime ally of Libya, and former leader Fidel Castro was outspoken in his
criticism of the uprising against Gadhafi in the early days of the conflict. He has not commented publicly on Gadhafi’s fall.The announcement came in a Foreign Ministry communique on Saturday.
BBC
Hundreds of troops loyal to Libya’s interim government are closing in on one of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi’s few remaining strongholds. Fighters have moved in on Bani Walid from three sides, warning Gaddafi loyalists to surrender or be attacked.
The desert town hit the headlines last month as rumours spread that two of Col Gaddafi’s sons had travelled through it as they fled south from Tripoli.
Some reports say Gaddafi family members may still be in the town.
On Saturday, the head of Libya’s interim governing NTC said its soldiers were also laying siege to Col Gaddafi’s birthplace in Sirte, as well as Jufra and Sabha. National Transitional Council Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil said the towns were being given humanitarian aid, but had one week to surrender “to avoid further bloodshed”.

Post-Gaddafi Tripoli: How Libya’s Civil Servants Are Holding It Together
When a pick-up truck laden with C-5 explosives accidently blew up after hitting a pothole last week in the ritzy Tripoli neighborhood of Gargaresh, residents witnessed something unexpected. Within minutes of the explosion, three fire trucks arrived on the scene to extinguish the blaze. “In my entire life I never saw anything like it,” says Kamal Mansur. “The fire squad responded and put the fire out quickly. Before the revolution, no one ever wanted to work for former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Now everyone wants to work to build a new Libya.”

Marginally closer to BW now but still around 70km mark. Negotiations are still under way. Priority now is to avoid casualties we are told.
Key political negotiator here told us his source said Saif al-Islam left BW yesterday. Military chief here thinks he is still in town.
Main sticking point in negotiations – human rights abuses by pro-G forces in BW. Negotiators have promised fair trials if they surrender.
Main example of human rights abuses in BW is a massacre committed 25th May by pro-G in the town. Video on YouTube I’m told. #Libya

Last time I was at Djerba airport, some wiseguy customs dude tried telling me it was illegal to leave Tunisia with Tunisian currency
Luckily I didn’t have any on me, though others did and got scammed bigtime. Funnily, he picked only on the Libyans.
So, don’t fall for the Tunisian departure currency removal scam.
All the other Tunisians I met were extremely helpful and accommodating though
I asked another airport official who told me its legal to leave with normal amounts.
also funny how the “rule” was applied to Libyan/Arab passengers only.
About to take off, next tweet from Djerba.

Talks have collapsed in Bani Walid – main negotiator. Said Moussa Ibrahim was negotiating, had unrealistic position.
Negotiator says anti-G have compromised, have nothing more to offer. Pro-G wanted to go to meeting with weapons.
Negotiator says pro-G are not powerful in BW, would be easily beaten by anti-G forces – but they want to avoid all bloodshed now.
Negotiators now referring up to military commanders for next moves. Could be military advance. Rebels now at edge of BW.
Plight of civilians in BW now main concern.

Geheim rapport: Megrahi is niet dader aanslag Lockerbie
Door Daan de Wit
De uitspraak in de Lockerbie-zaak is gebaseerd op leugen en bedrog en de veroordeelde Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi kan niet de dader zijn. Dat blijkt uit de onthulling van een geheim deel van een officieel onderzoeksrapport.

Here is the English translation:
Secret report: Megrahi is not the Lockerbie bomber
By Daan de Wit
The verdict in the Lockerbie case is based on lies and deception, and the man convicted of the crime, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, cannot be the perpetrator. This appears from revelations contained in a secret section of an official report.
Back in July, Mega wrote: ’You’ll just have to take my word for it that this case represents the worst injustice perpetrated by the courts that I’ve encoutered in 22 years as a journalist.’
In a letter dating roughly to 2008 that was recently discovered in the headquarters of the Libyan intelligence services and directed at a Gaddafi advisor, al-Megrahi writes that he is innocent.

‘Gaddafi must face trial in Libya’
Muammar Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for the crimes committed under his rule, the NTC spokesman in London said on Sunday, regardless of the International Criminal Court charges against him.
The ICC, based in The Hague, has issued an arrest warrant against Gaddafi for crimes against humanity committed during the Libyan uprising, along with warrants for his son Seif al-Islam and his intelligence chief.
But Guma al-Gamaty, the National Transitional Council co-ordinator in Britain, said Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for a catalogue of crimes since he seized power in 1969.
“The ICC will only put Gaddafi on trial for crimes committed over the last six months,” Gamaty told BBC television.
“Gaddafi is responsible for an horrific catalogue of crimes committed over the last 42 years, which he should stand for and answer for and he can only answer for those in a proper trial in Libya itself.”
He said that it would be up to the court to determine whether a death sentence was appropriate for Gaddafi, but added: “The court will be fair and just and will meet all international standards.
“International monitors from human rights organisations and other reputable organisations and the UN will be allowed to monitor things.
“It will be a fair trial – something that Gaddafi has never offered any Libyans who criticised him over the last 42 years.”
Gamaty also said that the expired NTC offer for Gaddafi to stay in Libya under supervision if he gave up fighting would not be revived.
“The time has definitely passed for that. This was offered to him by the NTC months ago, some three, four months ago, and he never took it up,” he said.
“Also it’s going to be very difficult for Gaddafi and his sons now to find a safe haven or a country that will take them,” he added.
Due to the ICC arrest warrants, “their choices are now very, very limited. The only thing they can face now is if they are apprehended, they will be arrested, they will be treated humanely.
“They will be kept safe and then they will have to face a trial and answer for all the crimes they have been responsible for.”

U.S. steps up surveillance of suspects among rebels
Jihadists among the Libyan rebels revealed plans last week on the Internet to subvert the post-Moammar Gadhafi government and create an Islamist state, according to U.S. intelligence agencies.
U.S. officials said spy agencies are stepping up surveillance of Islamist-oriented elements among Libyan rebels. A government report circulated Tuesday said extremists were observed “strategizing” on Internet forums about how to set up an Islamist state in Libya after the regime of Col. Gadhafi is defeated.

Negotiator says they are waiting for decisions from NTC in Tripoli / Benghazi in terms of military action, but nothing yet.
Saturday deadline isn’t taken into consideration around Bani Walid – negotiator says that is only Sirte. ATOW no specific deadline here.
Chief BW political negotiator: there are no longer any talks with pro-Gaddafi forces in Bani Walid, but we’re talking to locals.
Negotiator: situation in Bani Walid is a catastrophe – no food, water, electricity or communications. We are getting supplies in.
Negotiator: only difference between y’day and today – fighters are positioned 17km from BW rather than 30km.
Negotiator: Any decision to go in militarily not my decision – that will happen at national, international & local council level.
Negotiator: any decision to wait might be at least partly because some of national leadership have relatives in BW, want to avoid bloodshed.
Negotiator – Dr Abdullah Kanshil – says there are 8 high-ranking Gaddafi personnel in Bani Walid, including Musa Ibrahim. #Libya

Malta Today:
What happened August 21?
EXCLUSIVE | Rebels stormed Palm City in hunt for Gaddafi
As rebels entered Tripoli, Maltese expats witnessed a gun battle between NTC forces and Gaddafi loyalists in the heart of Corinthia’s luxury resort of Palm City. But Gaddafi’s sons and possibly also the Colonel himself had already evacuated for fear of a NATO attack.
Libyan rebel fighters stormed the Maltese-owned Palm City residential complex in the outskirts of Tripoli, and searched for Col. Gaddafi and his sons Seif al-Islam, Hannibal, Saadi and Mohammed.
Maltese eyewitnesses told MaltaToday that on the evening of Sunday 21 August, some 200 fully-armed rebel fighters shot their way through the gates of the Corinthia-owned luxury residential resort in Janzour in search of the Gaddafis, just one hour after the Bab Al-Aziziya compound had fallen.
Palm City has now been partly taken over by rebel forces, and its garages used as an ammunitions depot.
A Maltese expat tweeted from Janzour that night that the rebels were convinced that the Gaddafis had evacuated Palm City as soon as they got wind of an imminent NATO bombing.
But while a spokesman for the Corinthia Group denied any suggestion that the Gaddafis had in fact sojourned in Palm City, eyewitness reports place Col. Gaddafi at the complex on 30 July – 16 days before the fall of Tripoli.
The eyewitness tweeted as follows: “No one of the G family was there for three weeks, but the last one out was Hannibal, but they rebels thought they were there, doors smashed open…”
He added in another tweet: “the night the G’s left Palm was evacuated on a rumour of a direct attack. The attack never happened but they the Gaddafis never returned.”
The Maltese expat said that “D gs were Seif, Hannibal and Saadi. One night G himself stayed there 100 Pc. They were ok with d Maltese.”
MaltaToday is reliably informed that the rebels focused their search on a villa at the far end of the huge residential complex, where luggage was found strewn all over the place, while food and drinks were also found left on tables.
The source also mentioned an unconfirmed report of an incident where a drunk Hannibal Gaddafi attacked his own bodyguard: “An incident known is Hannibal drink and kicking arse one of his bodyguards and throwing him into a pool without water breaking his leg from three parts sic.”
Other tweets from around the Janzour area reported a fierce gun battle between rebel forces and Gaddafi loyalists between Sunday 21 and Monday 22 August.
One of the tweeters sent out the registration plates of the Chevrolets in which Gaddafi loyalists fled Palm City, while another said that looting was taking place inside the complex during a gun battle with rebels.
But as the dust settled, the rebel forces from the National Transitional Council who entered the compound in search of the Gaddafis, took over the complex and turned it into their temporary military headquarters.
Eyewitnesses told MaltaToday that rebel fighters unloaded large boxes containing weapons and ammunition off Libyan army trucks into Palm City’s garages – anything from small handguns, to AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades have been stocked in the complex’s underlying garages.
The same eyewitness said rebel commanders inside Palm City had told him they are expected to vacate Palm City, because Benghazi leaders are to set up their interim government there.
MaltaToday is informed that negotiations were underway in Benghazi between Corinthia’s senior management and the NTC to have Palm City cleared of unauthorised personnel.

Saadi Gaddafi, a son of Muammar Gaddafi, blamed his high-profile brother for the collapse of talks with Libya’s new rulers on abandoning one of the last remaining loyalist bastions, CNN television reported late on Sunday.
Saadi told CNN in a telephone interview that an “aggressive” speech broadcast by his brother, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, a few days ago had led to the breakdown in negotiations, paving the way for an attack. The town southeast of Tripoli is one of the last strongholds of pro-Gaddafi fighters where at least one of the ousted despot’s sons is reputed to be hiding.
Asked about his location, Saadi said he is “a little bit outside” of Bani Walid but had been moving around, CNN reported. He said he had not seen his father or brother for two months.
Saadi said he is “neutral” but remains “ready to help negotiate a cease-fire,” CNN said.
China
Chinese arms firms offered to sell weapons worth about $200m to Muammar Gaddafi’s beleaguered forces in July, two newspapers reported.
Following an earlier report in the Globe and Mail, the New York Times reported on Monday that documents found abandoned in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, indicated that Chinese companies offered to sell rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles and other arms to Gaddafi’s forces, despite bans on such sales.
“We have hard evidence of deals going on between China and Gaddafi, and we have all the documents to prove it,” a rebel military spokesman, Abdulrahman Busin, told the Times.
Reuters could not verify the reports or the documents cited, and some officials told the Times report they were sceptical or uncertain. A “senior NATO diplomat in Brussels discounted the report as highly unlikely”, and members of a United Nations overseeing sanctions on Libya said “nothing about arms dealings with China had been brought to their attention”, said the Times report.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has not publicly commented on the reports.
China
Chinese companies have not provided Libya with any “military products”, China’s foreign ministry said Tuesday, after reports of Beijing offering weapons to the ousted Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi.
Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper reported on Sunday that Beijing offered huge stockpiles of weapons to Kadhafi during the final months of his regime and held secret talks on shipping them through Algeria and South Africa.
“Chinese companies have not provided military products to Libya in any direct or indirect form,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told journalists.
AP
Rebel reinforcements are arriving outside one of Moammar Gadhafi’s last strongholds in Libya, even as the forces arrayed against the toppled dictator give the town a chance to surrender and avoid a fight.
Thousands of rebels surround Bani Walid, a desert town southeast of the capital. Gadhafi has been on the run since losing his capital last month.
A small rebel convoy arrived Monday at a checkpoint about 40 miles (70 kilometers) from Bani Walid. Ismail al-Gitani says the fighters were part of a larger force he commands and that he was ordered to reinforce the northern approaches to Bani Walid.
He refused to say how many fighters he had brought.
Another rebel commander, Mohammed al-Fassi, says the door is still open for negotiations over the town’s surrender.
Aljazeera
Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton reports on developments from near Bani Walid:
Rebels have pushed to within 7km of the centre of Bani Walid. They exchanged fire with some of the Gaddafi’s forces. But they have since retreated a little bit instead of setting up a defensive position there, and the reason for that is, we have more talks..
He said that another group had come forward from the centre of Bani Walid saying that they are completely separate from the others that wanted to talk yesterday when it all broke down..
The rebels yet again have said we will stall going any further, they have pulled back from that 7km mark, they are static there now and they are waiting yet again to see if they can come to any agreement..
They are very concerned that there could very well be civilians who are killed, so they are willing to talk to just about anybody that puts their hands up and says they represent anything to do with the pro-Gaddafi forces..

Following Reuters & Guardian reports on info from inside #BaniWalid, I’m worried a HUGE trap is being prepared for FF. Residents claims that B-Wild has only a small number of Gaddafi troops in town. This MIGHT be accurate or not, BUT the Reuters & Guardian reports claim that they have info from sources inside the city. These sources confirm that thousands of the city residents are armed & still loyal to Gaddafi. My interpretation of this is that these thousands of armed ‘civilian’ people are just waiting to receive FF and then ambush & massacre them. IF NTC is to send forces into B-Walid, then, they should send OVERWHELMING forces with another overwhelming force outside the city as a backup. This is not only to avoid treachery, but also, to
spare Libya another negative historic incident that could haunt the history of the country for decades to go and cause years of inter-tribe problems.

An inspiring story of citizen journalism
One fate was quickly remembered: that of computer engineer turned citizen journalist Mohammed ‘Mo’ Nabbous. He came to the world’s attention on February 19 with an emotional interview given to the BBC from a rooftop in Benghazi, four days after the Libyan uprising began in Benghazi:
He remarked “I’m not afraid to die, I’m afraid to lose the battle,” adding, “That’s why I want the media to see what’s going on.”

Hugo Chavez
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez has urged Muammar Gaddafi to “resist” and said he was certain the ousted Libyan strongman, whose whereabouts are unknown, is not thinking of leaving the country.
“Nobody knows where Gaddafi is,” said Chavez in a telephone interview with the state-run VTV television, adding, “I am sure he is very far from thinking about leaving Libya.”
“What he has to do is resist and hopefully that resistance will make it possible to find the path of peace and to defeat the path of war,” said Chavez.
Libyan rebels were threatening Monday to attack Bani Walid, a loyalist stronghold where at least one of Gaddafi’s sons was believed to be hiding.
Gaddafi himself has not been seen since rebels stormed Tripoli on August 20, although as recently as Thursday he aired audio messages calling on his supporters to prepare for guerrilla war.
Chavez, Gaddafi’s main ally in Latin America, has defended the Libyan strongman since the start of the uprising against his four decade old rule in February, accusing NATO of using the conflict to gain control over Libya’s oil.
On Monday, Chavez called on the so-called BRICS group of newly emerging economic powers, leftist Latin American governments and African states to join forces
to stop the “barbarity” unleashed by NATO in Libya.
“We have to go on a more coordinated counter-offensive to arrest this barbarity,” he said, without elaborating. Chavez, who is battling cancer, emerged last week from a military hospital after undergoing a third round of chemotherapy treatment. He did not rule out a need for a fourth round.

Libye – Le chef des brigades sécuritaires de Kadhafi arrivé au Niger
Une dizaine de personnes proches de Mouammar Kadhafi dont Mansour Daw, chef des brigades sécuritaires sont rentrées dimanche à Agadez (nord Niger) venant de Libye, a appris lundi l’AFP de source touareg.
Les autres personnes dont l’identité n’a pas été révélée, sont arrivées sur le territoire nigérien en compagnie de Agaly Alambo, figure de la révolte Touareg, et ont rejoint lundi Niamey, la capitale du pays, selon la même source.

Tuareg Leaders in Niger and Mali Urge Tuareg in Libya to Work With NTC
Tuareg leaders in Niger and Mali are urging Tuareg fighters in Libya to abandon Moammar Gadhafi and work with the country’s new leaders.
The change of power in Libya could further destabilize Africa’s Sahelian region, where
al-Qaida affiliated terrorists are already active.
Tuareg legislators from Mali and Niger say Libya’s interim council has promised not to target Tuareg members of the Gadhafi army.
By urging those fighters to join Libya’s new leaders, Sahelian governments are hoping to avoid a mass movement south that would worsen conditions in an already food-insecure region and could benefit al-Qaida affiliated terrorists.

Twenty-three Ukrainian civilian specialists detained in Libya

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the detention in Libya of 23 Ukrainian specialists who arrived to work at Libyan oil-industry facilities.
“Unfortunately, we are compelled to confirm that 23 Ukrainian citizens have been detained in Libya,” Oleh Voloshyn, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s Information Policy Department, said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
All of them are civilian specialists who have arrived in Libya to work at oil-industry facilities, he said.
“The Ukrainian Embassy has gotten one of them freed. Checks are being conducted in relation to the others,” Voloshyn said.
“The Libyan authorities have not brought any official charges against the Ukrainian citizens,” he said.

Libya to send 260 prisoners home to Niger
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya is allowing more than 260 prisoners from neighbouring Niger to return home on Monday, Libyan state news agency Jana reported. Some international organisations have assailed Libya for what they said was its harsh treatment of citizens of other African countries who end up in detention there, either as prisoners or illegal immigrants.
Last month, OPEC member Libya signed an agreement on judicial cooperation with the military junta running Niger, which is a major exporter of uranium.
“The 111 prisoners from Niger had left Metigua airport (outside Tripoli) early today to return home under the judicial cooperation agreement between the two countries,” Jana reported.
Jana quoted a Libyan official as saying that 150 other prisoners from Niger will leave Libya later on Monday.
“There are more prisoners from Niger in Libyan jails who are due to be returned home when the required procedures are completed,” Jana quoted an unnamed official as adding.
Jana gave no more details and did not say what the fate of 12 Niger citizens awaiting execution in Libya would be.

Bani Walid’s own rebels wait at gates of city
TARHOUNA, Libya — Ahmed Momen’s aunts kicked him out of their home in Bani Walid and he was called an infidel by his friends for joining the Libyan uprising.
Today the 22-year-old medical student and volunteer medic at a rebel check point 70 kilometers north of Bani Walid sits anxiously awaiting the order to start pushing into his hometown.
“I tried to convince my family that Moammar Gadhafi only spread ignorance and poverty in Bani Walid and for them to join the revolution,” Momen said.
His argument while visiting from Tripoli several months ago resulted in his aunts throwing him out of their house.
“I couldn’t believe it, I was crying over it,” he said. “I hope to forgive them after this.”
Today, enough Bani Walid residents are sticking with Gadhafi to keep the town out of rebel hands. But Bani Walid and its main tribe, the Warfala, have a history of opposing Gadhafi. A 1993 coup attempt that started in Bani Walid and Misrata was swiftly crushed.

Water returning to parts of Tripoli
The deputy mayor of Tripoli says tap water is flowing again in most parts of the capital after a two-week outage that disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands people.
NTC officials have said the outage was caused by sabotage by retreating loyalists of Muammar Gaddafi.
It was not immediately if the water was back for good and if all damage has been repaired.
The deputy mayor, Usama el-Abed, told The Associated Press that the flow of water to most Tripoli neighborhoods was restored today.
For the past two weeks, Tripoli’s nearly 2 million residents have survived on brackish water from wells and drinking water delivered by trucks and ships from neighboring countries.

NATO: Bombing of Libya most accurate ever
NATO’s top official says the bombing campaign against Libya is unique due to the unprecedented precision of the alliance’s airstrikes.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said today that no air operation in history had been so accurate and so careful in avoiding civilians casualties.
NATO has conducted 22,000 sorties, including over 8,000 strike missions, since the first attacks were launched in March.
Fogh Rasmussen says the alliance had degraded a war machine built up over more than 40 years, and that the airstrikes would continue until “the threat is over for good.”
NATO has been criticized for overstepping its limited U.N. mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect threatened civilians.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to welcome an investigation into “significant” accusations that the UK security services became “too close” to Libya.
Documents discovered in Tripoli following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorial regime appear to suggest that the UK traded information with Libya in return for intelligence extracted from terror suspects under interrogation in Libyan prisons.
MI6 has been implicated in having certain people tortured, violating British law. This was supposed to have been done durring the tenure of Tony Blair. Anita says the finding speaks of a moral vacum at the heart of British government.

NATO to continue until NTC ensures security
NATO’s bombing campaign against Libya has been unique in history due to the unprecedented precision of the alliance’s airstrikes but it has also highlighted shortcomings in the arsenals of its European members, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said today
Fogh Rasmussen also said the attacks would continue until Libya’s opposition National Transition Council is able to ensure security throughout the country and would not stop even if Muammar Gaddafi is captured.
“What will play a crucial role is the capability of the National Transition Council to actually ensure effective protection of the civilian population, because that’s the key in our UN mandate,” he said.
Fogh Rasmussen said that NATO has been implementing the mandate with “unprecedented precision.”
“No comparable air operation in history has been so accurate, and so careful in avoiding harm to civilians,” he said.
NATO has conducted 22,000 sorties, including over 8,000 strike missions, since the first attacks were launched in March.
Gadhafi’s regime frequently claimed civilians were killed in the airstrikes leading up to the fall of the Tripoli, but the reports have not been independently confirmed until now.
Russia and China have accused the alliance for overstepping its U.N. Security Council mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians. African Union nations, which pushed for a negotiated solution to the war, have said that the NATO-led bombing bombings had undermined their peace efforts.
The Libyan campaign also exposed deep rifts within the Western military alliance itself. Only eight of the alliances 28 members agreed to participate.
Fogh Rasmussen said that although European allies and Canada led the effort, the mission could not have been accomplished without capabilities which only the U.S. military could offer, such as drones, intelligence and refueling and transport aircraft.
“Let me put it bluntly, those capabilities are vital for all of us,” he said. “More allies
should be willing to obtain them.”
The alliance plans to formulate a set of proposals ahead of the alliance’s summit in May in Chicago on how to improve pooling and sharing of resources among member states whose defense budgets have been steadily shrinking at a time of economic austerity.

#AlQaeda offshoot acquires Libyan air missiles, says EU. Have Libya’s weapons fallen in the wrong hands?
At a news conference marking the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, de Kerchove said that while the threat of strikes by mainstream Al-Qaeda followers had decreased, AQIM was taking root both on the Arab peninsula and in Africa, posing a mounting threat.
“It is a group that is Africanizing and seeking to extend its area of influence,” he said.
Like other Al-Qaeda affiliates in Pakistan and elsewhere, AQIM had gained support
among locals by using ransom money and possibly drug-related income to fund social services unavailable from cash-strapped African governments.

Basically, Breaking news update from Sebha
Mercenaries from Darfur are present in the ‘Pipe’ factory north of Sebha. They number about 300. They are heavily armed with AA guns!
Families and members of the Gaddadfa tribe are fleeing in large numbers, escaping to Niger, after emptying the Central Bank Reserve.
NATO have attacked Mas3ud Abdulhafid C&C centre in Sebha. It was the ‘South Factory’ – Masna3 Aljanub.
As a result, Mas3ud Abdulhafid held a meeting of Gaddadfa members (G-goons) and told them explicitly that the regime was finished.
He told them that he was planning on escaping to Niger. However, the younger members in the meeting did not want to surrender.
After Mas3ud Abdulhafid left for Niger, Sebha lost its ‘leading authority’ and there is now no central or regime control in the city.
An officer from the Gaddadfa tribe told FF that the mercenaries from Darfur was only there to provide a safe escape route for G-goons.
The Humanitarian situation in the city is getting worse by the day. There will be a crisis in approx. a week.
These were all events that had occurred yesterday.
Currently, families from the tribe are still fleeing. But the mercenaries are the problem. FF only have light weapons!
I should clarify that the water that returned to Tripoli was a result of FFs from Shati from Hassawna tribe. They lost 3 matyrs.
They attacked the Gaddafi troops that had control of the GMMR control switch in ‘Jebel Hasawna’ …
The truth of the matter, is that Gaddafi’s tribe is giving up as the fight is pointless, not that they are losing to SebhaFF
When Bani Walid and Sirte fall, it will end I believe, as it seems, they do not want a last stand in Sebha.

Syria oil Petroleum Company, a joint venture established in 1985, which currently includes the SPC at 50 percent ownership, Anglo-Dutch Shell at 32 percent, and the remainder held by Himalaya Energy Syria, a consortium of China National Petroleum Company and India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation.13 Another important consortium is Deir Ez Zor Petroleum Company, owned by SPC and France’s Total. Shell has one of the oldest relationships with Syria dating back to 1949.8 It produces
with its joint venture partners an average 100,000 bpd. Total formed its Syrian operation in 1988 and in 2008 renewed its partnership sharing agreement with Syria during French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s visit to Syria confirming France’s continued interest in the company’s activities in the country. Total produces an average 27,000 bpd from its fields around Deir ez Zour.18 A more recent entrant into the Syrian oil sector, who has increased oil production levels, is United Kingdom’s Gulfsands Petroleum. At the beginning of 2011, its oil fields produced 20,700 bpd.19 Gulfsands has been controversially linked with Syrian tycoon Rami Makhlouf, a cousin of the Syrian president and a focus of the 2011 Syrian protests, who owns a 5.7 percent stake in the company.10 Other international players include: Canada’s Suncor, Poland’s Kulczyk, US-Eygptian firm IPR, Croatia’s INA, Russia’s Stroytransgas, and Triton Singapore.8

NATO Bombing of Libya most accurate ever
NATO’s bombing campaign against Libya has been unique in history due to the unprecedented precision of the alliance’s airstrikes but it has also highlighted shortcomings in the arsenals of its European members, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says.
Fogh Rasmussen also said on Monday the attacks would continue until Libya’s opposition National Transition Council is able to ensure security throughout the country and would not stop even if Muammar Gaddafi is captured.
‘What will play a crucial role is the capability of the National Transition Council to actually ensure effective protection of the civilian population, because that’s the key in our UN mandate,’ he said.
Fogh Rasmussen said NATO has been implementing the mandate with ‘unprecedented precision’.
‘No comparable air operation in history has been so accurate, and so careful in avoiding harm to civilians,’ he said.
NATO has conducted 22,000 sorties, including more than 8000 strike missions, since the first attacks were launched in March.
Gaddafi’s regime frequently claimed civilians were killed in the airstrikes leading up to the fall of the Tripoli, but the reports have not been independently confirmed until now.
Russia and China have accused the alliance for overstepping its UN Security Council mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians.
African Union nations, which pushed for a negotiated solution to the civil war, have said the NATO-led bombing bombings had undermined their peace efforts.
The Libyan campaign also exposed deep rifts within the Western military alliance itself. Only eight of the alliances 28 members agreed to participate.
Fogh Rasmussen said although European allies and Canada led the effort, the mission could not have been accomplished without capabilities which only the US military could offer, such as drones, intelligence and refuelling and transport aircraft.
‘Let me put it bluntly: those capabilities are vital for all of us,’ he said. ‘More allies should be willing to obtain them.’
The alliance plans to formulate a set of proposals ahead of the alliance’s summit in May in Chicago on how to improve pooling and sharing of resources among member states whose defence budgets have been steadily shrinking at a time of economic austerity.

Libya rebels long-range battle for Sirte
There are still several pockets of pro-Gaddafi resistance in Libya
National Transitional Council forces have moved into position around Bani Walid, 150km (95 miles) south-east of the capital Tripoli.
Bani Walid is one of four towns and cities still controlled by Gaddafi forces.
The others are Jufra, Sabha and Col Gaddafi’s birthplace in Sirte.
The BBC’s Paul Wood reports from outside the town of Sirte.

UK Special Representative to Libya Arrives in Tripoli
Foreign Secretary William Hague says Britain has re-established a diplomatic mission in Tripoli.
The Foreign Secretary said:
“Britain has re-established a diplomatic mission in Tripoli. A diplomatic team, lead by acting UK Special Representative Dominic Asquith, arrived in Tripoli today on an RAF flight. The team includes staff from the FCO and DFID. It will join a small FCO-led advance party that deployed to Tripoli last week.
The arrival of this team marks another significant step in the UK’s relations with the new Libya, and reflects the progress the NTC has made in improving security and
stability on the ground. It will help strengthen relations with the NTC authorities and support their efforts to rebuild Libya. The team will also liaise with international organisations in order to help address humanitarian needs in Tripoli and the surrounding areas."

Libyan spy files detail Gadhafi regime’s collapse
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — As the uprising grew against Moammar Gadhafi, secret reports from his vaunted intelligence service flowed back to Tripoli. Some were mundane – how agents erased anti-regime graffiti. Others were more deadly – a spy volunteered to poison rebel leaders’ food and drink.
The reports grew more desperate as the Libyan rebellion veered into civil war: Military leaders in the western mountains were disregarding orders; troops in the city of
Misrata ran out of ammunition, turning the situation into “every man for himself.”

Is anyone paying attention to the rise and rise of Qatar?
The country’s quick backing of the Libyan rebel council was the behaviour of a reliable international relations player.
The man standing next to Cameron, Sarkozy and Merkel in the recent pictures at the Elysee Palace to mark the first ‘Friends of Libya’ meeting is the Emir of Qatar. Back in March Qatar was first, after France, in publically recognising the Libyan Opposition group, the National Transitional Council. Qatar then went on to not only provide military support for the NATO operation in Libya, but also played a proactive mediation role with members of the Arab League in gathering support for the NATO intervention.
Qatar has also shown strong political leadership, willingness and influence in bilateral
relations with its Arab neighbours throughout the Arab Spring — from rumours of having frozen their investments in Syria, to public messages of support for the opposition in Syria and Yemen — though Qatar’s role may not always seem consistent, as with Bahrain.

Just arrived in #Tripoli after a safe and easy journey from Tunisia through Ras Ijdir
We passed by a huge demo in martyrs square in Zawiya earlier, ill try to upload pictures.
There are pretty long queues for getting out of Libya at Ras Ijdir, but no queues to get in.
Last night there was a 12 hour wait at Ras Ijdir to get into Tunisia
There are long queues for petrol along the road from Tunisia to Tripoli, and there is no diesel at all available.
very long queues, unclear why people were leaving
Central Zawiya is a complete wreck, yet there were thousands of people in martyrs square where there’s a stage like the Benghazi one
it was a celebration demo, songs, flag waving etc.
Power is available in almost all the areas of Tripoli, and wimax is functioning too, though it is slow.
Algeria closes Libya border
Algeria on Sunday (September 4th) announced the temporary closure of all border crossing points with Libya as a security precaution.
“A new situation has been created by the Libyan crisis, notably through the arms flow and the massive exodus of people from this country,” Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci said.
The issue will be discussed at a September 7th-8th security meeting in Algiers, which will bring together officials from Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Algeria.
“Based on the nature of the relations between our two countries, we can only say that the relationship between us will improve with the return of stability to Libya,” Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia said Sunday on the sidelines of the opening of Parliament’s autumn session.
