Libye : la France a failli “casser la coalition”, selon un diplomate européen
En lançant une attaque trois heures avant le début de l’opération militaire en Libye, la France a bien failli faire capoter l’intervention de l’Otan, rapporte le journal quotidien américain The Washington Post.
Le 15 septembre 2011, Nicolas Sarkozy, sourire aux lèvres et mine des grands jours, débarque en Libye à Benghazi. Accompagné du Premier ministre britannique David Cameron, il se félicite du rôle « primordial » joué par la France dans la chute du régime de Kaddafi. La foule est en liesse : le peuple de Benghazi acclame le président français tel un héros.
La France a pourtant bien failli faire capoter l’opération en Libye, révèle lundi 31 octobre le Washington Post. Le 19 mars, trois heures avant le début officiel de la campagne aérienne, quatre avions français Rafales traversent la mer méditerranée et détruisent une colonne de tanks kaddafistes se dirigeant vers la ville de Benghazi alors encerclée. L’attaque a bien failli mettre un terme à l’alliance internationale censée venir sauver Benghazi d’un possible massacre.

U.N. council urges Libya to stem illicit arms flows
The U.N. Security Council on Monday urged Libya’s government to do everything possible to track down missing shoulder-fired missiles to keep them out of the hands of al Qaeda and other militant groups.
The appeal to stop the spread of loose Libyan arms was the thrust of a Russian-

drafted resolution, which highlighted the threat of man-portable surface-to-air missiles, dubbed MANPADS, — shoulder-launched rockets that can be used to shoot down planes and helicopters, making them a favorite among militant groups.

In Tripoli, NATO chief hails “free Libya”
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Monday hailed the end of the alliance’s military intervention in Libya, which helped bring about the death of deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi.
“It’s great to be in Libya, free Libya,” Rasmussen told a news conference in the capital

Tripoli. “We acted to protect you. Together we succeeded. Libya is finally free, from Benghazi to Brega, from Misrata to the Western Mountains and to Tripoli.”
He said he was proud of the part NATO had played in the seven-month insurgency against Gaddafi, in which NATO planes and ships turned their firepower on his forces.

Libya: revolutionaries turn on each other as fears grow for law and order
Hundreds of revolutionaries fought each other at a hospital in Tripoli early on Monday, in the biggest armed clash between allies since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi
The fighting fuelled growing fears that nobody is in control of thousands of swaggering armed men who are still based in Tripoli and that the country’s interim government will struggle to impose law and order.
Two people died from bullet wounds and at least seven fighters were injured during a battle that started when militia from the town of Zintan were stopped by guards from the Tripoli Brigade from entering the city’s Central Hospital to kill a patient.

Libya after Gaddafi: new freedoms and songs of revolution bring same old fears

In his second dispatch from Tripoli, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad follows the victors of the country’s civil war and finds that the new militias are motivated by vengeance and rivalry in equal measure
The military council of the Freemen of Libya Brigade sat around a table in an abandoned compound in Tripoli. Sunk deep into leather chairs designed for more prosperous times, they were contemplating the fate of a load of “cargo” they were about to receive.
“We have a big cargo coming. We need a big car,” said Essam, jovial with a shaved head and a long goatee.

The UN Security Council is urging Libyan authorities to prevent shoulder-fired missiles and other arms purchased by Muammar Gaddafi from getting into the hands of armed groups.

The Russian-drafted resolution adopted unanimously by the council on Monday also calls on the Libyan government to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles in coordination with international authorities.

Andrew Shapiro, the US assistant secretary of state, said earlier this month that Libya was believed to have about 20,000 such missiles in its arsenals before civil war began in March.

WORTHINGTON — Awad Abdulrahman sat on the couch at the home of a fellow Libyan friend Monday afternoon, the flag of his home country proudly displayed behind him.
Up until a few weeks ago, Abdulrahman was in Libya, fighting soldiers recruited by the

country’s dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.
He trained rebel forces to fire machine guns, guarded oil fields and ultimately saved his friends by throwing himself on a grenade. Abdulrahman returned to Worthington just 16 days before Gaddafi was captured in a drainage structure in Sirte and killed by rebels

Wounded Libyan Rebel Fighters to Receive U.S. Medical Care

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov 1, 2011 — The United States brought 24 wounded Libyan rebel fighters to a medical treatment center in Boston for advanced critical care that they could not receive in Libya.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the humanitarian assistance October 27, a week after Libyans ended the 42-year regime of dictator Moammar Qadhafi.

NATO ends Libya mission
More than seven months after the U.N. Security Council authorized NATO forces to protect demonstrators in Libya, the aerial bombing campaign operation that helped depose longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi ended here Monday at midnight.

But the Pentagon said Monday that the United States will continue monitoring Libya from the skies even after the end of formal NATO military operations.
“There will be some kind of overwatch role for a little while after the actual end,” Pentagon spokesman, Capt. John Kirby said. “We are still working with our NATO allies on that.” U.S. manned and unmanned aircraft played a key reconnaissance role in the Libya operation even after U.S. forces stopped taking the lead combat role.

The United Nations Security Council has expressed “concern” over the fate of the massive weapons stockpile built up in Libya under Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
The council called on Libya and its neighbours to stamp out the proliferation of looted arms.
It was worried they could fall into the hands of al-Qaeda and other militant groups.
Many weapons were destroyed in Nato operations, which ended at midnight on Monday.

Gaddafi loyalists thirst for revenge
Bani Walid – Members of Libya’s powerful Warfalla tribe say they are thirsting for revenge after their bastion Bani Walid was looted and pillaged by anti-Gaddafi fighters.

“Tomorrow is another day. We will get our revenge sooner or later,” said a Warfalla tribesman, pointing to shelled and burnt-out buildings in the oasis town, southeast of Tripoli.

Refusing to be filmed, and giving his name only as Suleiman, he said he fears the new regime’s fighters, who defeated Muammar Gaddafi’s beleaguered loyalists in Bani Walid two weeks ago after more than a month of fierce fighting.

Invisible Wounds: Libya’s Battle for Mental Health

While the 6.4 million Libyans try to recover from nine months of bloodshed, they also have to cope with the psychological aftermath of nearly 42 years of repression, leaving some experts bracing for an overwhelming need of mental-health services — which isn’t helped by a severe shortage of trained staff. In the hopes of staying ahead of a potential mental-health crisis, nongovernmental organizations like Doctors Without Borders and International Medical Corps are already taking steps to help the newly freed population recognize the problems it will have to face.

Counting the cost of Nato’s mission in Libya

As Nato ends its mission in Libya, just how many civilians lost their lives in the air strikes? As the BBC’s Jonathan Beale explains, we may never know.
The famous phrase, attributed to Mark Twain, is that there are "lies, damned lies and

statistics".
In war, establishing the truth is even harder.
As the dust settles on Nato’s seven-month mission over Libya, there are few reliable statistics.
No-one is really sure, at least for now, how much this war has cost in human lives.
Estimates of those killed – including pro-Gaddafi forces, “rebel” forces and civilians – currently vary between 2,000 and 30,000.

An interview with Hisham Matar
On 22 August, the day Libyan rebel forces took Tripoli, acclaimed author and son of Libya, Hisham Matar, opened an impassioned essay with, “We got rid of Muammar Qaddafi. I never thought I would be able to write these words. I thought it might have to be something like: ‘Qaddafi has died of old age’; a terrible sentence, not only because of what it means but also the sort of bleak and passive future it promises. Now rebel forces have reached Tripoli, we can say we have snatched freedom with our own hands, paid for it with blood. No one now will be more eager to guard it than us.”

RAF Marham welcomes back the last Tornados from operations over Libya

With a thundering roar the last seven Tornados to leave Italy after flying missions over Libya arrived back on home soil in Norfolk this morning.
The end of the United Nations operation to support rebel forces with air cover means the front line crews from RAF Marham are back on base and preparing for a couple of

weeks leave.
Station Commander Gp Capt ‘Rocky’ Rochelle was waiting alongside the runway as the formation of seven split low over Marham before coming into land to be greeted by family and colleagues from IX Sqn.
Two of the jets had a fast turnaround and headed off to Lossiemouth in Scotland where they are stationed, but for the Marham crews it was a welcome homecoming.
“It was a fantastic last mission for Operation Unified Protector and Ellamy. It’s a homecoming for the guys who worked extremely hard,” said Gp Capt Rochelle.
“They have been working all the hours that God sends to makes sure they get over

Libya Plans Law to Pave Way for Islamic Bond Sales: Arab Credit

Libya’s central bank is preparing a law to allow lenders and issuers to sell Islamic bonds as part of its efforts to develop banking services after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi.
The regulator has formed a committee with the country’s banks to prepare the law, Ezzedin Ashur, deputy director of research and statistics at the Tripoli-based central bank, said in a telephone interview yesterday. Libya has 15 banks, all of which have Shariah-compliant “windows,” he said.

Analysis: Libya’s NTC struggles to stay the “good guys”
Having picked a new prime minister, Libya’s fractious interim ruling council must now restore its own credibility, dented by unseemly haggling over Muammar Gaddafi’s rotting remains.
The nature of the man’s death – insulted, battered and abused before being shot dead – has done some damage to its standing, with many observers asking themselves, just who are the men who have replaced him?
“The good guys,” one Western diplomat insisted when asked that question in Tripoli last week.

islamist=fundamentalist. Member of hierachical organized religion based group with leading figure and dependant followers.

OmarAlMukhtar Omar Al Mukhtar
We know that many terms are used or created to stir up hate, fear-mongering, or cause confusion and harm. Let’s try to understand. #Islamist

If we take definition of @Seraf1na Islamist = fundamentalist = Member of hierachical organized religious based group ….

One who follows fundamentals of faith … like these “Fundamentalists” j.mp/rUNDc5 but we dont typically think of them as such

“Member
of Organized religious based group with leading figure” hmm like Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism?

So Muslims should be afraid 2follow a leader then? Like #Muhammad (saws) or have an Amir or Sheikh or leaders like @OmarAlMukhtar? #Islamist

Or Muslims should not organize in groups like during 5 daily prayers? Or not in community organizations or just not politically? #Islamist

Or should Muslims just modify their beleifs based on fear of the newest fear-mongering #Islamophobic catchphrase picked up in the media?

One who wants everyone to follow their religion should not be called an “Islamist” because Islam is free from what they claim

Islam explicit states there is no compulsion in Religion (a persons personal choice of faith) =) quran.com/2/256

What stings me, is that orthodox ppl are often mistaken to be extremists.

Foreign Secretary welcomes the appointment of a new Libyan Prime Minister
Foreign Secretary William Hague speaking following the appointment of Abdel- Rahim al-Kib as Libyan Prime Minister.

Speaking today the Foreign Secretary said:

“I welcome the appointment of Abdel-Rahim al-Kib as Prime Minister of Libya’s Transitional Government. This represents another important step forward for Libya as the country looks to build a new society after years of tyrannical misrule under Qadhafi. A future transitional government, headed by a credible Prime Minister, has a key role to play in creating a better Libya.

I look forward to working with Prime Minister Al-Kib as the Transitional Government develops its plans for elections and a new constitution, rebuilds the country and works to create a future that meets the legitimate needs and aspirations of all Libyans. In this regard, I welcome the new Prime Minister’s commitment to build a state which respects human rights”.

Gaddafi son Saadi wants arrest warrant dropped – lawyer
ALGIERS (Reuters) – Saadi Gaddafi, son of the former Libyan leader, has asked Interpol, via his lawyer, to revoke a request for his arrest on the grounds that Libya’s new rulers are not able to give him a fair trial.
Saadi, a businessman and former professional footballer, is in Niger after escaping across the border from Libya when National Transitional Council (NTC) forces captured the capital Tripoli in August.
Interpol has issued a “red notice” requesting that member states arrest Saadi with a view to extradition if they find him on their territory.

In a letter sent to the Interpol Secretary General, Saadi’s lawyer Nick Kaufman said the killings last month of Muammar Gaddafi and another son, Mo’tassim, made any extradition to Libya unsafe.

New Libyan PM LIVE: I see a country with men/women who have the capability to build a modern, civil state

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: What’s the most important challenge that you feel we need to deal with now?

New Libyan PM LIVE: I shared a few ideas with my colleagues in NTC yesterday

New Libyan PM LIVE: I wish to see a united libya, moving towards a future together, with equality in the law

New Libyan PM LIVE: We need to consider the rule of law

New Libyan PM LIVE: I see a clear challenge, which is bringing back normality to libya, especially to those injured in #Feb17

New Libyan PM LIVE: National dialogue and reconciliation very important

New Libyan PM LIVE: The oil sector and science research

New Libyan PM LIVE: Healthcare also a key priority

New Libyan PM LIVE: Corruption and transparency key challenges

New Libyan PM LIVE: We know the people want a transparent state

New Libyan PM LIVE: We are studying the transitional plan

New Libyan PM LIVE: Our foreign policy also offers some challenges

New Libyan PM LIVE: We need to find optimal balance between relationship of interim gov and legislative body

New Libyan PM LIVE: These are our challenges, we have no magical solutions, but we feel we are up to the challenges

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: Have you decided on any of the ministerial posts?

New Libyan PM LIVE: We have done some work in the NTC to study suitable candidates for the interim gov

New Libyan PM LIVE: We’re likely to have 22 ministers in the interim gov

New Libyan PM LIVE: We will have have many ministries working on all the challenges in unison

New Libyan PM LIVE: As for specific names of ministers, libya has many skilled men/women who can participate

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: What’s will the nature of the gov be? Compromise? Technocrats?

New Libyan PM LIVE: This is a short transitional period, 8 months, we actually wish to complete our task even quicker if possible

New Libyan PM LIVE: We want to make sure we complete our phase with right foundations for future gov

New Libyan PM LIVE: However my personal feeling is this gov should be a gov of technocrats

New Libyan PM LIVE: By that I mean we want gov to be free of loyalties to particular parties, ideologies, we want it to serve libya first

New Libyan PM LIVE – Some of the criteria we laid out for ministers in the new Libyan interim gov are:

New Libyan PM LIVE: 2nd they need to be suitably qualified, with experience and ability to create a team and achieve results
New Libyan PM LIVE: 3rd we want people with a clear conscience and no past history of corruption/crime

New Libyan PM LIVE: I would like to ask anyone that comes forward for a ministerial role to prove to us they have no history of corruption

New Libyan PM LIVE: 4th we don’t want anyone who was a figure in the gaddafi regime or have blood on their hands

New Libyan PM LIVE: And of course, we don’t want anyone with a history of corruption.

New Libyan PM LIVE: we will consider geography (region in Libya) as well as youth and women, we want women to have key role

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: How will you include the youth in the next gov?

New Libyan PM LIVE: I requested members of local NTC offices to put forward candidates for the interim gov

New Libyan PM LIVE: We have every confidence women can participate effectively in the gov

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: Again, I want to ask you about youth, they weren’t well represented previously

New Libyan PM LIVE: I assure everyone, we will not exclude any group or party in Libya from participation in the interim gov

New Libyan PM LIVE: The youth are foundation of our #Feb17 revolution, any suitable youth with required skills can be involved

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: Do you have any specific plans for dealing with the challenges?

New Libyan PM LIVE: We do yes, but I don’t really want to get into details on this just yet, we need to discuss this internally first.

New Libyan PM LIVE: In a future interview I hope to give you more details of our

specific plans to deal with issues

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: challenge of media is an important and difficult one, NTC’s PR efforts weren’t optimal, will this improve?

New Libyan PM LIVE: we had some tough conditions in the previous stage, we were in a state of revolution, there was some confusion

New Libyan PM LIVE: There weren’t really properly laid out plans for pr

New Libyan PM LIVE: Our plan going forward is to create a gov TV/Radio channel and paper to represent the state

New Libyan PM LIVE: Also each local gov office should have a radio/tv station paper to help communicate with the people

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: I’m concerned about the other organisations/institutions that are required

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: Will the same conditions apply to people running these type of organsations/institutions?

sorry guys, lost connection there for a few minutes, missed the answer

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question, 3 topics – 1) care for martyrs family 2) injured 3) security

New Libyan PM LIVE: for the injured and the families of the martyrs, we have already announced a ministry for this

New Libyan PM LIVE: We have had some success but we need to do a lot more for our injured and families of the martyrs of #Feb17

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: What about weapons proliferation?

New Libyan PM LIVE: First let me speak about about our freedom fighters, they were the ones that freed Libya

New Libyan PM LIVE: We will never forget the efforts of our freedom fighters and they want a secure, peaceful, advanced, respected Libya

New Libyan PM LIVE: If we agree on this point, I’m sure we can find a solution, we need to approach issue of weapons thoughtfully

New Libyan PM LIVE: Many freedom fighters want to be sure that if they hand in their weapons they want the state to continue on right path

New Libyan PM LIVE: We can address weapons proliferation issue with friendly discussions and negotiations

New Libyan PM LIVE: We will also be launching programs to bring freedom fighters into various state security apparatus/organisations

New Libyan PM LIVE: Many freedom fighters also have other skills backgrounds, we need to help and support them to return to their lives

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: How should the libyan citizen behave/think in this stage?

New Libyan PM LIVE: Libya will be built by the efforts of its citizens.

New Libyan PM LIVE: Many skilled Libyans were previously not allowed to participate in building their country

New Libyan PM LIVE: We need to empower Libyan citizens to play their role in rebuilding/building libya

New Libyan PM LIVE: What do you see Libya’s economic/political characteristics being?

New Libyan PM LIVE: We would like to create a free economy, neither extreme right or leftwing in our economic policy

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: How do you see the nature of the Libyan state? Central? Confederation? Etc

New Libyan PM LIVE: The constitution will determine the nature of the Libyan state, I can’t dictate this to the Libyan people

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: What do you see as the reasonable limit of criticism for the interim gov?

New Libyan PM LIVE: We have no limits, but we want criticism to be constructive, we need to find solutions, not just focus on firefighting

New Libyan PM LIVE: I’m personally not too bothered about criticism. If it’s constructive criticism we should listen to voice of the people.

New Libyan PM LIVE – Question: What’s the forum/mechanism for self-criticism/performance assessment of the new gov?

New Libyan PM LIVE: We shall be accountable to our programs/responsibilities, as long as we have the resources to deliver

New Libyan PM LIVE: our projects/plans/objectives will be transparent as they will have a publicized goal and time limit

New Libyan PM LIVE Question: How will you hear the voice of the people? Also tell me about transparency.

New Libyan PM LIVE: We need to go and meet with local authorities and visit universities, schools to hear people’s voices.

New Libyan PM LIVE: We are looking at technology as well, we plan to have an internet presence to publish our activity and plans

New Libyan PM LIVE: We’ll also open a channel of communication online for people to feedback to us

New Libyan PM LIVE: We are going to make serious plans and promise professional administration.

New Libyan PM LIVE praises the Libyan people and fighters.

New Libyan PM LIVE: The Libyan people need to be afforded the chance for a good education, health, a good life and success

New Libyan PM LIVE: We will use all our efforts in this short transitional phase to achieve as much as we can to put Libya on right path

New Libyan PM speaks on Libyan TV, focuses on transparency, inclusivity and says he plans to create an interim gov of technocrats.

Libya begins risky political transition

The head of Libya’s Transitional National Council (TNC) is set to arrive in Egypt on Tuesday for talks meant to help smoothen his country’s difficult transition towards stable democratic rule.
During his two-day visit, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the TNC chairman will seek Egypt’s support for reconstruction that is required in the aftermath of a devastating civil war between NATO backed forces and fighters loyal to the slain Libyan leader, Muammar Qadhafi.

Al-Keib and rebellion
The new Prime Minister is a businessman who has spent several years in exile. He is known to have contributed funds to support the rebellion against Qadhafi, playing a crucial role in backing an underground movement in the Libyan capital that played a crucial role in the fall of Tripoli.

New scientist
Libyan plan to trace mass graves and missing people

the country’s transitional government has already set up a commission that it says will ensure the transparent and orderly exhumation and identification of bodies from mass graves.
“It will take a few months to work out the number of people missing,” says Salim Al-Serjani, vice-president of the newly formed National Commission for Tracing and Identifying Missing Persons.
Speaking to New Scientist from Libya’s capital Tripoli, he said that 4000 to 5000 people went missing during the 42 years of Gaddafi’s dictatorship, on a crude estimate, and around 20,000 to 25,000 more are thought to have gone missing in the nine-month conflict that ended last week. “The old regime didn’t like to give out any information, so it will take a while to know more exact figures,” he said.

Secret teams guarded Gaddafi mustard gas during Libya war
Libyan and NATO secret agents kept watch over hidden stocks of mustard gas, stockpiled by ex-dictator Muammar Gaddafi, throughout the war which toppled him to prevent his forces using them.
While one stockpile was known to the United Nations, the new Libyan regime on Tuesday revealed the existence of two other, formerly unknown, sites with stocks prepared by Gaddafi.
One contained weapons ‘ready for immediate military use’, according to Libyan expert Yussef Safi ad-Din, in charge of the problem of dealing with the gas which causes serious chemical burns in the eyes, on the skin, and in the lungs.
Gaddafi revealed one site, in the oasis of Al-Jafra near Waddan in central Libya, but had carefully hidden from the UN the existence of two others.
Safi ad-Din said both secret sites had now been ‘securitised’ and posed no health risk.

How many 81-year-old retired Jewish florists in Brooklyn were pen pals with Col.

Moammar Gadhafi? At least one: Louis Schlamowitz.
The New York Post published a story Monday in which Schlamowitz, who has made writing to world leaders something of a hobby, calls the former Libyan dictator “a good pen pal.”
“I felt it was very nice of him to take the time to write back to me, because I’m nobody special," Schlamowitz said.
Schlamowitz says he first wrote to Gadhafi in 1969, after he took power in Libya.

Libya will not be governed by extremists, says new PM

In an exclusive interview on Tuesday Libya’s new interim Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib told RFI that worries over the introduction of Sharia law in Libya are unfounded. He says his new government will do its “best” to stop human rights abuses and investigate those that have already taken place.

“We’ve had some vacuum in the past few months,” he says. “The previous cabinet or executive office, they had lots of issues, challenges to deal with. I think we understand the situation better now. Once we have the government in place we will definitely do the best we can,” he says.

Where Qaddafi Failed, Islam Will Succeed
Let’s face it: Qaddafi was a failure.
He was looking for unity in all the wrong places: Arab unity, African unity, “third-world” unity.

In his doomed quest for unity, Qaddafi was a failed idealist.
“Arab”-ness is just another nationalism, another form of empty identity politics. “African-ness” and “Third Worldness” are no better. Africa has two thousand different languages and cultures. The Third World has even more.
Qaddafi also failed to survive and carve out a niche for himself as a head of state to be reckoned with. He failed to win the West as an ally, despite all his concessions and backroom deals.
In his doomed quest for power-through-accommodation, Qaddafi was a failed pragmatist.

Finally, in the most noble effort of his life, Qaddafi took up the cause of the Islamic gold dinar and silver dirham. In this he was a failed saviour.
The irony is that the real Grand Unity Project, fueled by the Islamic gold dinar and silver dirham, was right there in front of Qaddafi’s nose all along, only he couldn’t see it. It’s called Islamic unity.

U.S. takes credit for Libya’s no-fly zone
Washington led the diplomatic push at United Nations for the mandate eventually credited with ending Moammar Gadhafi’s reign, the U.S. envoy claims.
Britain and France early this year lobbied for a resolution at the Security Council that called for a no-fly zone over Libya as forces loyal to Gadhafi descended on rebel positions in Benghazi.
French officials at the time expressed frustration with Washington on the issue. But

after the Arab League backed the no-fly zone, Washington entered the debate by claiming the European draft was too weak.
“We led this thing,” said U.S. envoy to the United Nations Susan Rice in an interview with Foreign Policy magazine. “We put teeth in this mandate.”

Libya’s new prime minister is low-key technocrat

Abdul-Raheem al-Keeb, picked by Libya’s interim council to head a government tasked with managing a difficult transition from civil war to democracy, is a Tripoli-born academic who has spent decades abroad and has had scant political experience.
Until now he has had a low profile — when he emerged with 26 out of 51 votes cast by the National Transitional Council (NTC) late on Monday, bemused whispers filled the room.
Interim Oil Minister Ali Tarhouni, who had been the front-runner for the post, received only three votes.

Libya tensions show up in Bani Walid

Members of the same tribe stand on opposite sides of the divide in former stronghold of Muammar Gaddafi

Libya’s new interim prime minister has promised to make national reconciliation one of his top priorities, but in the town of Bani Walid, a former stronghold of Muammar Gaddafi, this may prove to be difficult.
The new head of the main hospital in Bani Walid is a pharmacist turned NTC fighter, and it is apparent that this is not a place where the anti-Gaddafi fighters are welcomed like heroes.
There is little communication between the fighters and the visitors, even if both belong to the same tribe.

In Libya, Fighting May Outlast the Revolution

Many of the local militia leaders who helped topple Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi are abandoning a pledge to give up their weapons and now say they intend to preserve their autonomy and influence political decisions as “guardians of the revolution.”

The issue of the militias is one of the most urgent facing Libya’s new provisional government, the Transitional National Council. Scores of freewheeling brigades of armed volunteers sprang up around the country and often reported to local military councils, which became de facto local governments in cities like Misurata and Zintan, as well as the capital, Tripoli.

I think having people refuse to give up arms in #Libya is a worrying but UNDERSTANDABLE trend. Instead of trying to disarm people… (cont)

.. the NTC should start taking concrete steps towards the formation of a real army, while allowing citizens wth arms to register them

People do not want to give up their weapons in a transitional stage where security and order haven’t been fully restored yet

Furthermore, not every armed crime or murder should be attributed to “revolutionaries fighting blah” – there are opportunists everywhere

American supermodel defends Gadhafi family, loses job

An American model who has appeared in ads for Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani and L’Oreal lost her biggest client Monday after she defended boyfriend Mutassim Gadhafi and the Gadhafi family in an interview with Italian media.

Vanessa Hessler, a blonde, long-legged 23-year-old Italian-American model, said that she had shared a “very beautiful love story” of four years with Mutassim Gadhafi, the 36-year-old son and heir of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi who died with his father in a last stand outside the Libyan city of Sirte on Oct. 21.

Hessler also said that the West had made a mistake in backing the rebels who ended Moammar Gadhafi’s 42-year reign. “We, France and the United Kingdom, financed the rebels but people don’t know what they are doing,” Hessler told Italian magazine Diva e Donna, adding that she is disgusted by what is happening in Libya and that “the Gaddafi family is not how they are being depicted, they are normal people.”

Turkey to sell Manavgat water to Libya
Veysel Eroglu said Libya was eager to purchase Manavgat Brook water, and Turkey had completed necessary preparations.

Turkey’s forestry and water works minister said on Wednesday that Turkey would sell Manavgat water to Libya.
Veysel Eroglu said Libya was eager to purchase Manavgat Brook water, and Turkey had completed necessary preparations.
“We can deliver Manavgat water at any time,” Eroglu told AA correspondent in an exclusive interview.
Eroglu said Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) had contacted Turkey and the two countries had reached a preliminary compromise.
Veysel Eroglu said Libya would undertake transportation costs.
Turkey and Israel had reached an agreement on Manavgat water in 2001 after long years of negotiations. Within the framework of the agreement signed by Zeki Cakan, then energy and natural resources minister of Turkey, Turkey agreed to sale 50 million cubic meters of water to Israel p.a. for 20 years.
Turkey suspended sale of Manavgat water to Israel due to its tense relations with Israel.

Interim PM says Libya government will be inclusive Libya’s new government will be open to all Libyans

Interview with New Libya PM Abdurrahim El-Keib by @ArmchairArab
November 2, 2011 — tony serve
8:40pm GMT: New Libyan PM about to speak in interview on Libya Al Ahraar TV channel (you can watch it at libya.tv).
New Libyan PM in Live interview praising the martyrs of #Feb17
Question: How do you see Libya today?
I see a country with men/women who have the capability to build a modern, civil state
Question: What’s the most important challenge that you feel we need to deal with now?
I shared a few ideas with my colleagues in NTC yesterday
I wish to see a united libya, moving towards a future together, with equality in the law
This gov is tasked with bringing to bear the desires that motivated the #Feb17th revolution
We need to focus in the injured and damaged buildings/cities
We need to focus on security and providing basic goods
We need to re-start the economy

We need to get the school system moving
We need to consider the rule of law
I see a clear challenge, which is bringing back normality to libya, especially to those injured in #Feb17
National dialogue and reconciliation very important
The oil sector and science research
Healthcare also a key priority
Corruption and transparency key challenges
We know the people want a transparent state
We are studying the transitional plan
Our foreign policy also offers some challenges
We need to find optimal balance between relationship of interim gov and legislative body
These are our challenges, we have no magical solutions, but we feel we are up to the challenges
Question: Have you decided on any of the ministerial posts?
We have done some work in the NTC to study suitable candidates for the interim gov
We’re likely to have 22 ministers in the interim gov
We will have have many ministries working on all the challenges in unison
As for specific names of ministers, libya has many skilled men/women who can participate
Question: What’s will the nature of the gov be? Compromise? Technocrats?
This is a short transitional period, 8 months, we actually wish to complete our task even quicker if possible
We want to make sure we complete our phase with right foundations for future gov
However my personal feeling is this gov should be a gov of technocrats
By that I mean we want gov to be free of loyalties to particular parties, ideologies, we want it to serve libya first
Some of the criteria we laid out for ministers in the new Libyan interim gov are:
2nd they need to be suitably qualified, with experience and ability to create a team and achieve results
3rd we want people with a clear conscience and no past history of corruption/crime
I would like to ask anyone that comes forward for a ministerial role to prove to us they

have no history of corruption
4th we don’t want anyone who was a figure in the gaddafi regime or have blood on their hands
And of course, we don’t want anyone with a history of corruption.
we will consider geography (region in Libya) as well as youth and women, we want women to have key role
Question: How will you include the youth in the next gov?
I requested members of local NTC offices to put forward candidates for the interim gov
We have every confidence women can participate effectively in the gov
Question: Again, I want to ask you about youth, they weren’t well represented previously
I assure everyone, we will not exclude any group or party in Libya from participation in the interim gov
The youth are foundation of our #Feb17 revolution, any suitable youth with required skills can be involved
Question: Do you have any specific plans for dealing with the challenges?
We do yes, but I don’t really want to get into details on this just yet, we need to discuss this internally first.
In a future interview I hope to give you more details of our specific plans to deal with issues
Question: challenge of media is an important and difficult one, NTC’s PR efforts weren’t optimal, will this improve?
we had some tough conditions in the previous stage, we were in a state of revolution, there was some confusion
There weren’t really properly laid out plans for pr
Our plan going forward is to create a gov TV/Radio channel and paper to represent the state
Also each local gov office should have a radio/tv station paper to help communicate with the people
Question: I’m concerned about the other organisations/institutions that are required
Question: Will the same conditions apply to people running these type of organsations/institutions?
sorry guys, lost connection there for a few minutes, missed the answer
Question, 3 topics – 1) care for martyrs family 2) injured 3) security
for the injured and the families of the martyrs, we have already announced a ministry

for this
We have had some success but we need to do a lot more for our injured and families of the martyrs of #Feb17
Question: What about weapons proliferation?
First let me speak about about our freedom fighters, they were the ones that freed Libya
We will never forget the efforts of our freedom fighters and they want a secure, peaceful, advanced, respected Libya
If we agree on this point, I’m sure we can find a solution, we need to approach issue of weapons thoughtfully
Many freedom fighters want to be sure that if they hand in their weapons they want the state to continue on right path
We can address weapons proliferation issue with friendly discussions and negotiations
We will also be launching programs to bring freedom fighters into various state security apparatus/organisations
Many freedom fighters also have other skills backgrounds, we need to help and support them to return to their lives
Question: How should the libyan citizen behave/think in this stage?
Libya will be built by the efforts of its citizens.

Libya: UN official urges quick international assistance for mine action

The United Nations official coordinating efforts to ensure that Libya is free from the threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW) following the recent conflict urged the international community to quickly provide the required assistance for the work to start.

Max Dyck, programme manager for the UN-led Joint Mine Action Coordination Team in Libya (JMACT), told a news conference at UN Headquarters that although Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) is aware it will have to fund the mine action effort, the interim authorities were not yet in a position to do so.

He said the release of Libya’s frozen funds from foreign countries will take time, and that it will also be a while before Tripoli has put in place the mechanisms to receive the funds, UN News Service reports.

“It’s gone take a while to get their systems up into a stage to be able to accept the funds and to be able to put that through to where it is needed,” said Mr. Dyck.

“If the nations of the world do not assist the Libyans now in trying to get to grips with this problem, nobody can come back in six months and complain when it winds up in places where they don’t want it to. Now is the time to be dealing with it, and now is the time that the world should be helping,” he said.

Hospital shootout leaves one dead

Groups of fighters involved in a personal feud exchanged fire at a major hospital, leaving one dead and five wounded over two days of battles, the hospital’s security chief said yesterday.
It was one of the most serious cases of personal score-settling by revolutionary forces since they toppled the regime of Muammar Gaddafi late last month, capturing and killing the former dictator.
Libya is awash in weapons, and the country’s interim leaders have promised repeatedly they would collect them, now that the eight-month civil war is over. However, the government has not followed through, and rival military commanders jockeying for position appear reluctant to be the first to have their fighters disarm.
The most recent incident began Sunday with a clash in a Tripoli neighborhood between fighters from the towns of Zintan and Misrata. A Zintan fighter was killed and another, from Misrata, was wounded and taken by his friends to Tripoli’s Central Hospital, said Abdel Nasser al-Mohandes, security chief at hospital.
Gunmen from Zintan followed their Misrata rivals to the hospital. One sneaked into the operating theater and fired one round, apparently trying to kill the wounded Misrata man, but was disarmed, al-Mohandes said.
On Monday, another armed clash erupted between the two sides outside the hospital, leaving four wounded, the security chief said. He said three Zintan fighters were arrested and that they had been drunk.
Last week, a woman from Tripoli’s once staunchly pro-Gadhafi Abu Salim neighborhood was killed after an argument with a Zintan fighter.
Libya’s interim leaders have tried to play down the risk of the massive presence of weapons, saying Libyans are a close-knit society bound by tribal laws. However, there has been a recent rash of violent score-settling by former rebel fighters.
Government spokesman Abdel-Hafiz Ghoga said the authorities are monitoring the incidents and would not tolerate what he called “deviation.” He did not present any practical steps for dealing with the problem.

I heard Iranian. Then someone corrected it to Saudi. Iranian FM is visiting tomorrow. Maybe he’ll bring sheep with him?

Iranian, Romanian or Saudi sheep. The Finns aren’t big sheep eaters really. It’s all pig or reindeer ;-)

Libya’s new PM, little-known technocrat facing huge tasks
An academic and a wealthy businessman, Keib spent decades abroad as an opponent of Moammer Kadhafi, before quickly joining the pro-democracy revolution that erupted in February and finally triumphed on October 20.Keib’s experience as a technocrat, his generous financial support for the National Transitional Council and the presentation he delivered to voting NTC members on Monday culminated in his election.
“The main aspects of his programme were the stability of the country, of course, the security file and the military file, which will be under the control… of the Interior Ministry,” said Fathi Baja, the NTC’s head of political affairs.“He also promised to provide for the basic needs of the Libyan people.” Keib won 26 out of 51 votes to become Libya’s new prime minister, seeing off four rival candidates, notably interim Oil Minister Ali Tarhuni and Idriss Abu Fayed, a Kadhafi opponent who was jailed by the former regime.

Libya’s Next Problem: Hundreds of Dueling Militias
Hundreds of Libyan militias struggled for months to topple dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Now, as one-time rebels struggle to transform their movement into a government and form a national army, they are finding that the militias themselves pose a problem, The Washington Post reported.

“Creating a new army is not going to be by an official statement or resolution. It has to come after a negotiation,” said Anis Sharif, a spokesman for Prime Minister Abdulhakim Belhadj.

Libya’s Prime Minister Abdurrahim al-Keib in profile
The National Transitional Council (NTC) elected him to the post on 31 October, with 26 of its 51 members voting for him.
Analysts say Mr Keib’s narrow victory over eight other candidates shows the deep divisions in the NTC – a coalition of rival factions that came together to overthrow ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed in his birthplace, Sirte, on 20 October.

Mr Keib succeeds Mahmoud Jibril, who lived up to the pledge he made during the bloody uprising that he would step down once Col Gaddafi’s 42-year rule ended.

Haytham al-Obeidi said there were tensions between fighters from eastern Libya, where army officers such as his father defected en masse, and those from the west, many of them irregulars who took on Gaddafi’s military, risking torture and death.
Another confrontation occurred Monday evening at Tripoli’s military airport, where revolutionaries from eastern Libya pulled their guns on the crew of a military aircraft to try to get it to fly them to Benghazi, said Tripoli militia members who guard the facility. The group from the east was arrested, they said.

She is also eager to get to work bringing the museum up to international standards and reopening it to the Libyan public—it has been closed since the revolution started in Benghazi on Feb. 17. Though the capital grows calmer every day, life is far from normal; armed men are ubiquitous and there is a serious shortage of cash.

Bullets, Lies & Video Files.

Libya has been subjected to decades of state-directed propaganda. And during this year’s armed uprising, the forces opposed to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s government fought lies with many lies of their own.
On the At War blog, a look at propaganda and the war in Libya, with a ghoulish example of a battlefield staple — the “exploding bullet” routine.
Watch the video, and see how this dead loyalist soldier was misused, framed by his accuser on allegations that were not difficult to disprove. The man had been dead only minutes when this performance unfolded. Do not think, though, that the dead were not props in pro-Qaddafi war theater, too. Both sides used corpses in their propaganda efforts.

Extradition Hearing of Libyan ex-PM Pushed Up
Baghdadi Mahmoudi, prime minister Libya until the fall of leader Moammar Gaddafi, will be tried for extradition next week, on November 8th, a sudden change that makes the possibility of Mahmoudi’s return to the still turbulent post-revolutionary country much more imminent.
Mahmoudi’s lawyer, Mabrouk Korchid, expressed discontent at the move, stating, ” I believe that there is a political deal. The Libyan authorities are trying their best to have him as soon as possible and there might be pressure on the Tunisian judiciary”. The lawyer expressed worry concerning the Tunisian court’s action, stating that it should not tarnish its reputation as “impartial and fair” by delivering his client.

Libya Steps Into A New Era

Libya steps into a new era. While the remainder of Gaddafi isn’t gone by any stretch of the imagination, the People of Libya are looking forward!

This week has week has been monumental:

NATO left Libya. I was impressed by all the tweets from Libya revolutionaries over the past week telling NATO good-bye and thanking them for their help over the past 8 months.

Aide has been flowing to towns like Sirite where last week residents were desperate for food and supplies. @worldloverpeace tweeted that one shop owner opened yesterday, and a first town meeting was held this week.

Abdurrahim El-Keib was appointed interim PM of Libya. He is a scientist (electrical engineer) and prior Professor at the University of Alabama for 20 years. Most recently he was a businessman living in Tripoli. He has impressed Libyans who tweeted about his straight up talk by saying “I believe everyone wants a Libya that’s positive and friendly, we will work from a stance of positivity.” He apparently promised that Gaddafi loyalists are off the consideration list for government appointments which was important to everyone who fought for freedom. His key initiatives surround healing, rebuilding and dealing with rehabilitation of tens of thousands of Freedom Fighters. Dr. El-Keib ask Libyan’s to submit their ideas to the NTC website email address. This seems to address concerns recently expressed that the NTC doesn’t hear the concerns of the people. Hope the NTC has a really big email inbox because after 42 years of being told to shut-up, Libyans have a lot to say!

Yesterday, a few Libyan’s peacefully protested outside the Libya Telecom office for better Internet service. One tweeter who was — apparently quite well informed — pointed out that “the UN recently stated access to the Internet was a basic human right”. This conversation turned to additional tweeting around what speed Libyan’s require for their personal and business use. Imagine the wonder just to be able to hold a protest in Libya. Isn’t FREEDOM great!

Described in a tweet conversation as a “nanny” state, Libya was the provider of general services under Gaddafi. The government determined what services would be provided, when, how much, and ultimately to whom. Ideas were discussed about possibilities of Libyan being able at some point to own their own ISP companies and

get the business out of the hand of the government. Also, there is strong advocacy for allowing Libyans to own their own businesses.

Libya’s people are PROUD that they have freed themselves from the atrocities of Gaddafi. Gaddafi is dead and they never have to fear him again. Children now have the opportunity to grow up knowing what it is like to live FREE!

It has been a great week in Libya!

Leo Brincat
Op Ed: Time for a reality check
While Libyans have not had a taste of democracy for almost half a century – which means that so far it is something completely alien to all those who may be 45 years old and under – in Tunisia’s case after years of oppressive dictatorship, the people could hopefully be already making their first steps towards the eventual fulfilment of their Arab Spring
It was a positive development that the first free elections in Tunisia were held at the same time that the Libyan people declared their liberation. But in both cases, it is now that the hard work begins, possibly in Libya even more so than in Tunisia itself.
In the case of the Libyans, while the daunting task of organising their first free election for more than four decades might seem difficult indeed, one cannot isolate such a mammoth task from the various tribal, Islamist and religious groupings and undercurrents at play.

Libyans wonder what dawns ahead

Libya: As NATO ended its Libya mission, alliance chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen mingled in a Tripoli hotel with former rebels and young women yearning for democracy after months of air strikes and street battles.

“Without you, this could not have been done,” Khaled Balaam, a 36-year-old former fighter from the eastern city of Benghazi, told Rasmussen. “We are greatful for the quick move. You were fast enough to save people,” Balaam, a baby diapers wholesaler by day, said of the air strikes that were launched in March to prevent Kadhafi from crushing the revolt.

Gaddafi son ‘hiding in desert’
Muammar Gaddafi’s son appears to have disappeared in the Sahara desert and could remain hidden for months as the International Criminal Court and Libya’s new rulers argue about who should try him.
Nothing has been heard of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi since sources said almost a week ago that Tuareg nomads were escorting him and that he was close to the Mali border.

In the area where Gaddafi is believed hiding, only Algeria is not a signatory. Algeria was a staunch supporter of Muammar Gaddafi and has given refuge to his wife, a daughter and two other sons, but now is trying to establish ties with Libya’s new leaders.

Ex-SAS quiet on Gadhafi bodyguard rumours
Former SAS soldier, bricklayer, reality television star and now New Plymouth District councillor John “Horse” McLeod is refusing to add bodyguard to Libya’s Gadhafi family to his resume.
Mr McLeod disappeared in July, telling his council colleagues he would be gone for 40 days but without saying why.

On his return he refused to say where he had been, but admitted to the Taranaki Daily News Libya was a good guess.
On Wednesday Mr McLeod again refused to reveal where he had been, despite revelations New Zealanders were among a group of ex-special forces soldiers who helped Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s son Saadi escape the country last month.
“I’m saying nothing at the moment. People can think what they like. I really don’t care what they think,” Mr McLeod said.

Commercial aviation in war-torn Libya is slowly coming back to normal.
Alitalia became the first European airline to resume flying to Libya, eight months after the Italian carrier suspended operations to the North African country that had been seized by a full-scale revolt and civil war for much of the year.
The flight, which left Rome Fiumicino airport Wednesday morning with 100 passengers on board, landed in Tripoli and was greeted by Italy’s new ambassador to the country, Goffredo Buccino, according to AFP.

Criminal court asks nations to prevent Saif Gaddafi from fleeing Libya

The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has said his office has information that former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi may try to flee Libya with the help of mercenaries.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, in his statement to the UN Security Council on the situation in Libya, said the court is urging nations to help prevent Gaddafi’s son from leaving Libya.
“We are also receiving information that a group of mercenaries may be endeavouring to facilitate his (Al-Islam Gaddafi) escape from Libya. We are calling upon States to do all they can to disrupt any such operation,” Moreno-Ocampo said.

Wonga Coup’ mercenaries fixed Gaddafi’s doomed last flight
Kim Sengupta reveals an amazing escape plan that ended in the dictator’s death – and in claims of treachery
An international operation to rescue Muammar Gaddafi from his besieged last refuge involved mercenaries who had taken part in the notorious “Wonga Coup” led by former SAS officer Simon Mann, The Independent has learnt.
Crause Steyl, a pilot and one-time business partner of Sir Mark Thatcher, had taken

part, along with the former prime minister’s son, in the failed attempt to overthrow the dictator of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea. He was asked, just after the Libyan dictator’s death, to fly stranded soldiers of fortune out of a mission “which had gone badly wrong”. (He declined to help.)

Danie Odendaal, one of the fighters, claimed he was with Gaddafi when the convoy was attacked. He has told South African media that three groups of South Africans were flown in to Libya via Dubai and Cairo to help the Gaddafi family under a deal done with Nato.

Libya’s historic treasures survive the revolution
One day, in the not too distant future, visitors may flock to see the giant white marble statues of the Roman emperors, Claudius and Augustus, that grace Tripoli’s National Museum.
Today the galleries that house them, and the ornate mosaics from the vast Roman site of Leptis Magna 120 km (75 miles) east of Tripoli, are completely deserted.
Outside the museum, at the edge of Martyr’s Square, a stall sells revolutionary souvenirs – necklaces and wristbands in the black, red and green of the new Libya.
But the arched wooden door to the museum, now festooned with graffiti proclaiming Libya “free”, is firmly shut.

Libya: Nato to be investigated by for war crimes
NATO forces are to be investigated by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes during the Libyan conflict.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the court’s chief prosecutor, told the United Nations yesterday that Nato troops would be investigated alongside rebel soldiers and regime forces for alleged breaches of the laws of war during the battle to overthrow Col Muammar Gaddafi.
As well as the original charges that Gaddafi and his close family perpetrated attacks on Libyan civilians, there are a series of complaints about the Western alliance and its allies in the National Transitional Council (NTC) under consideration.

Innovations in technology are changing the tactics of modern-day conflict, turning the cyberworld into a new frontline.

“If you have a few smart people and a good computer, then you can do a lot. You don’t need an aircraft, you don’t need tanks, you don’t need an army. You can penetrate

another country, create huge damage without even leaving your armchair."

And it is not just cyberwar that is a growing phenomenon. The internet has empowered cyberactivism, allowing people to share information and mobilise support to take direct action – both online and on the streets.

UN warns of increasing use of mercenaries
Expert group sees major expansion in military and security companies operating without regulation or accountability.

A UN expert group warned of an alarming resurgence in the use of mercenaries and a major expansion in military and security companies operating without regulation or accountability.
The five-member working group on the use of mercenaries said in a report to the UN General Assembly that mercenary forces in Libya and Ivory Coast reportedly were involved in committing serious human rights violations – as were some contractors for military and security companies working in Iraq and elsewhere.
Faiza Patel, who heads the working group, told a news conference on Tuesday that states should cooperate to eliminate the use of mercenaries and regulate the activities of military and security companies.
“Recent events in Africa clearly demonstrate that problems posed by mercenaries are still a live issue,” she said, adding that these hired foreign fighters are being used in new and novel ways.

The first and only time I saw him live was in Hilton Hotel, Abuja, when he came on a visit during the Obasanjo administration.

But I pity the people of Libya in all these. There was no justification to kill a fellow human being in cold blood after capturing him alive, let alone a leader.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo also said he was investigating whether the former Libyan leader and his spy chief ordered mass rapes as they battled an insurgency earlier this year. Gaddafi died shortly after his capture last month by the former rebels, now the government forces.

A fugitive wanted by the International Criminal Court, Muammar Gaddafi’s one-time heir apparent appears to have disappeared in the Sahara Desert’s ocean of dunes and could remain hidden for months in an area more than twice the size of Texas.

Saif al-Islam may be plotting a counterrevolution, scheming about a getaway to a friendly country, or negotiating a surrender to the ICC. Nothing has been heard of him since sources on October 28 said Tuareg nomads were escorting him the length of Libya and that he was close to the Mali border.

“My latest information is that they are not in Mali and they are not in Niger yet either,”

Malian legislator Ibrahim Ag Mohamed Assaleh said this week, adding to the mystery of his whereabouts.

ICC: Gaddafi son surrender is still under negotiation

The international war crimes court is still negotiating surrender terms with Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, the court’s prosecutor said yesterday.
The International Criminal Court has “received questions from individuals linked to Saif al-Islam about the legal conditions attaching to his potential surrender,” chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told the UN Security Council.
While Saif is worried that he could be handed over to Libya’s new government, Moreno-Ocampo highlighted fears that mercenaries were trying to help Gaddafi’s heir-apparent to escape.
He said however it was possible Libya’s new government could be given jurisdiction in

the case against Saif and Abdullah al-Senussi, the late dictator’s brother-in-law and

intelligence chief.

Saif’s representatives have asked questions such as what would happen to him if he

appeared before judges and the various conviction and acquittal possibilities, the prosecutor told the 15-member Security Council which referred the Libya case to the ICC.
The court had “clarified” that under its founding Rome statute “he may request the judges not to order his return to Libya after his conviction or acquittal”.
“Judges can also decide if he may be extradited to another state,” the prosecutor said.

Moreno-Ocampo said it was up to Saif and Senussi “to decide if they will surrender themselves, remain in hiding or try to escape to another country. It is up to the UN Security Council to ensure that they face justice for the crimes for which they are charged.”

Readout of the UN Secretary-General’s meetings in Libya
At the meeting with Chairman and the membership of the NTC, the Secretary-General said there was enormous goodwill around the world to help Libyans succeed in their transition to democracy, and that the United Nations would provide support through the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in every way it could and in any

way Libyans choose. Yet, he emphasized, it was only Libyans themselves who could do the hard work of rebuilding their country.
He was asked to unfreeze more Libyan funds held abroad and undertook to inform the Security Council of their urgent appeal. He also strongly urged the NTC and civil society to ensure greater representation of women and young people as institutions are built.
The Secretary-General underscored the need to form an interim government that is inclusive yet expert as soon as possible. He responded to the pleas for help with the forthcoming elections by pledging the UN’s full cooperation.
The Secretary-General, in his meeting with civil society emphasized the important role of the representatives of women, business and various social groups in building the new Libya. He urged them to press forward with their ambitions for building a new society in a spirit of cooperation, give and take, and a sense of inclusiveness, unity and solidarity.
He added that working to find consensus would require a great deal of pragmatism and compromise and listening to the views of others, especially during this very important initial phase.

In the days after Libya declared itself liberated, people were caught up in the euphoria of the moment. The bazaar in Tripoli’s old city was crowded, and people were enthusiastic about the future.

Belarusian mercenaries arrested in Libya
About three dozens of Belarusian servicemen have been detained in different parts of Libya during military operations.
Charter97.org has been informed about that by Mikalai Khalezin with a reference to a source in the National Transitional Council of Libya.
According to Khalezin, about 20 persons remain in custody, while 10 were killed during the seizure. Investigators are questioning the rest of the Belarusians. They are trying to find out how the Belarusian military had got into Libya and what they had been doing in the riot-hit country. According to the source, most of the detained were snipers.
We have asked Mikalai Khalezin to comment on these reports:

Mistreatment of detained Gadhafi loyalists alleged

Dozens of relatives of jailed Moammar Gadhafi loyalists protested outside a Tripoli prison Thursday, alleging detainees were being mistreated by former rebel fighters now in charge of the lockup.
A Libyan official, Mahmoud Shammam, said most prisons are still under the control of semi-autonomous groups of fighters, not the interim government.
Human rights groups have reported mistreatment of detainees in lockups run by former rebels, and Shammam, the information minister, acknowledged that “we have a lot of problems in the prisons.”

Med Crude-Urals strong, U.S. firms buy Libyan crude

LONDON, Nov 3 (Reuters) – Urals crude was steady on Thursday
with traders saying the strength of the sour grade was showing
little signs of easing even if the spread with the sweet grades
has narrowed dramatically in recent weeks.
“I don’t think this strength can last long. We will either
see a jump in values in sweet grades or Urals has to come down,”
said a trader with a Western major.
The spread between Urals and Azeri Light has narrowed to
around $3.5 a barrel from as high as $7 only a couple of months
ago although Libyan production volumes are still slow to return
to the market.

The Economist
Human rights in Libya
Bad habits
The new rulers must ensure that the victors do not imitate the vanquished
A MONTH before Muammar’s Qaddafi’s death, a group of young Libyans in Benghazi, where the revolution began, were debating justice and human rights. “Don’t send him to the International Criminal Court at The Hague,” one of them argued. “They cannot torture him there—and we need to know the truth about his crimes”. “Well, okay, but if he is tortured in Libya, it will give us a bad name”, said another participant. “No, no, you cannot torture anyone, anywhere, don’t you know that?” exclaimed a third. Then the oldest in the group, a 28-year-old engineer, pleaded: “Let us stop thinking about Qaddafi and the past and think about Libya’s future.” Then came a vote on the motion that “This house believes that Qaddafi and the others should be tried in Libya, not in The Hague”. The motion was defeated.
The debate was part of a week-long training scheme set up by a non-governmental Polish organisation, the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, at the request of two new groups in Benghazi.

Deputy PM praises RAF’s “magnificent” contribution to Libyan campaign during visit to Waddington in Lincolnshire

Mr Clegg was visiting RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire, to welcome home and pay tribute to those who had recently returned to the UK following the end of the eight month campaign.
Air and ground crews from RAF Marham were among those arriving back in Britain this week.
Addressing personnel gathered at Waddington, including Royal Navy and British Army

representatives, the Deputy Prime Minister said: “You have been protecting the Libyan people from the brutality of Colonel Gaddafi and his regime. Your skill, your
commitment and your bravery made the difference. You have saved countless lives and have performed magnificently in testing times.”
Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton described the air force’s contribution as an unqualified success and a reflection of the service’s unique ‘will-win’ ethos.

Iranian FM Leaves Istanbul for Libya
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi left Turkey for Libya to meet the country’s interim government officials on bilateral ties and the fate of Shiite Cleric Imam Musa Sadr.

Salehi, who was in Turkey to attend an international conference on Afghanistan in Istanbul, left the country for Tripoli, where he is due to meet with the National Transitional Council (NTC) officials.

On Tuesday, the newly appointed Libyan Prime Minister, Abdel Rahim al-Keib, welcomed Salehi’s visit to his country, and called for the expansion of the bilateral relations between Tehran and Tripoli.

“We welcome the visit by any foreign official, including the Iranian foreign minister, to Libya,” al-Keib told FNA on Tuesday, adding, “Naturally such trips will expand the bilateral ties (between Libya and other states).”

Libya and Palestine
A visitor to Libya now, be it to Benghazi or Tripoli, cannot help but make some comparisons between the Libyan revolution and the Palestinian Intifada.

Libyans are facing difficulties similar to those of the Palestinians regarding the tensions between local fighters and the leadership in the diaspora.
The new Libyan leadership appears poised not to allow this tension to derail the train of liberation. Mechanisms are being created by the National Transitional Council to ensure that these tensions are reduced to the minimum by strictly upholding the democratic processes that were agreed upon by all parties.
A Palestinian visitor to the new Libya is also struck by the high-level, genuine support for the Palestinian cause. While Libyans are not very happy with some other Arab regimes and people, when Palestine is mentioned, a totally different response is given. Fighters and non fighters alike express total support for the Palestinian cause and the aspirations of the Palestinian people.

The Economis
Swords into ploughshares
AS THE remains of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi were being transported from the drainage pipe near Sirte where he was found to a meat locker in Misrata, silversmiths in Tripoli’s old town were busy melting down Qaddafi memorial coins. Produced for the 10th anniversary of the “Al Fatih revolution”, the military coup that brought the 27-year-old captain Qaddafi to power in 1969, the coins were a reminder of a madness brought upon them for too long. They were precious only because of their metal. According to Abu Mohamed, who directed the operation, the silver will be used mostly by dentists. “Imagine ending up having a crown on your molar made of melted Abu Shafshufa (old fuzzyhead),” they cried. Wryly they joked: “For the last 42 years we opened our mouths only when on the dentist’s chair.”

Don’t waste time hoping for Western-style democracy in Libya

In Libya and most other countries in the Arab world, what we know as personal liberty is nonexistent. According to Freedom House’s 2011 “Freedom in the World” survey, as well as Amnesty International’s annual report for 2011, most North African and Middle Eastern countries are ranked either “repressive” or “not free.” Moreover, I believe that there’s little prospect for Arabs ever being free and that Western encouragement and hopes for democracy are doomed to failure and disappointment.

What should the West do about the gross violations of human rights so prevalent in North Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere? My short answer is to mind our own business.

RAF
Engineers Return From Libyan Campaign
60 Tornado aircraft engineers and support staff returned to RAF Lossiemouth last night from Gioia del Colle in Italy where they have been maintaining Tornado aircraft operating over Libya.

The majority of the Lossiemouth engineers deployed in July as part of the surge of Tornado aircraft that have been providing reconnaissance and armed over watch to assist with the campaign. The Tornado’s from RAF Marham in Norfolk and RAF Lossiemouth have been at the forefront of the coalition reconnaissance and strike missions. Gathering intelligence to precisely target strikes was a big part of the NATO effort; as the campaign progressed the former regime increasingly concealed troops, equipment and head quarters, often in civilian populated areas. The Tornado proved to be an excellent platform for this kind of work with its potent intelligence gathering capability and precision strike capability it was able find and destroy targets precisely without risking civilian casualties. One particular weapon used extensively was the British built Brimstone missile which has proved itself as a world class precision weapon.

The present and future are daunting enough for the wobbly authorities here, but then there is the tormented past to consider as well: four decades of state crimes whose wounds demand attention.

With mass murders, disappearances and public executions, the victims of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s People’s Court, Internal Security Agency and State Security Court number in the tens of thousands, human rights advocates here and abroad say. How will Libyans come to terms with their past?
Already, the provisional leaders are pondering options for exposing the long catalog of killings and torture, looking to models from South Africa, Europe and Latin America. They are motivated by a conviction, they say, that a new nation cannot be built unless light is shed on the dark corners of the old.

Libya: Pro-Gaddafi Prisoners Allegedly Mistreated

Dozens of relatives of jailed Moammar Gadhafi loyalists protested outside a Tripoli prison Thursday, alleging detainees were being mistreated by former rebel fighters now in charge of the lockup.
A Libyan official, Mahmoud Shammam, said most prisons are still under the control of semi-autonomous groups of fighters, not the interim government.
Human rights groups have reported mistreatment of detainees in lockups run by former rebels, and Shammam, the information minister, acknowledged that “we have a lot of problems in the prisons.”

Libye : “mission accomplie” pour la France, qui procède au retrait de ses forces

Après sept mois de guerre en Libye, la France procède au retrait de ses forces. Mais le coût total de l’opération militaire reste imprécis.
À l’heure ou elle achève le retrait de ses forces de Libye, l’état-major français en dresse un bilan positif et se félicite de son action, même si Paris a, selon les dires de certains diplomates, failli provoquer l’explosion en vol de la coalition anti-kaddafi.
Afin de « saluer l’action des militaires français et américains qui ont pris part aux opérations en Libye », le président français Nicolas Sarkozy participera avec son homologue américain Barack Obama à une cérémonie à l‘issue du sommet du G20 vendredi 4 novembre 2011, à Cannes.

I’m so over Gaddafi: U.S. model who boasted of passionate affair with dictator’s son spotted kissing a new man in Rome

The son of a ruthless dictator may be a tough act to follow, but the Italian-American former girlfriend of Mutassim Gaddafi is moving on, less than a month after her ex was killed alongside his dad.
Model Vanessa Heller, who was born in Italy but spent much of her childhood in Washington, DC, was spotted locking lips with a new man today in Rome.
The leggy blonde was photographed having lunch with 27-year-old Italian actor Francesco Montanari, and sharing a passionate kiss with him afterwards.

Libya looks set to chart moderate course on Islam
The threat of radical Islamic extremists coming to power in Libya was a spectre repeatedly invoked by Muammar Gaddafi and his supporters in order to delegitimise the Libyan revolution.
It was an argument that largely failed to convince the major international powers, who extended significant military and economic assistance to the Libyan opposition and ultimately helped bring them to power.

Libye: la brigade Al-Jazira, sa guerre du désert, ses amis français, le gaz
HOUN (Libye) – Après six mois de guerre du désert face à l’armée libyenne, la brigade Al-Jazira se repose dans l’oasis de Djofra (sud), pas mécontente d’avoir échappé au gaz innervant des forces de Mouammar Kadhafi et regrettant les quatre militaires français qui l’accompagnaient.

La paix est revenue et Ahmed Misrati, un combattant du nouveau régime, se remet de maux de ventre dus à un chameau indigeste.
A Sokna, une ville de l’oasis, “on a trouvé une ferme où Kadhafi avait un élevage de chameaux de course d’Arabie Saoudite, on m’a dit que celui qu’on a mangé valait deux millions de dollars. Mais on ne savait pas”, rigole le coquet jeune homme de 21 ans, en tee-shirt et keffieh roses.

Succès en Libye et contrainte budgétaire de l’OTAN
Vendredi à l’issue du Sommet du G20, Nicolas Sarkozy et Barack Obama doivent rendre hommage aux soldats de leurs pays ayant participé à l’opération de la coalition qui a provoqué la chute du colonel Mouammar Kadhafi en Libye. Mais l’OTAN ne peut pour autant crier victoire.
Le danois Anders Fogh Rasmussen a raison  : l’opération militaire en Libye est un succès «  historique  » pour l’Organisation du traité de l’Atlantique nord (OTAN) qu’il dirige depuis deux ans. Et l’on pourrait ajouter, pour la France et le Royaume-Uni, qui ont conjointement mené le plus gros des raids aériens contre les troupes fidèles au colonel Kadhafi. Sans oublier l’Amérique sans qui cette intervention n’aurait pas pu avoir lieu.

Libya revolution inspires “foundlings” over rights
A group of women abandoned by their families and housed in a shelter in Benghazi have been inspired by Libya’s revolt to push for personal freedoms in a society where they have few.

Known as “foundlings” because no one will care for them and they are not independent in the eyes of authorities, the twelve are banned from leaving a fenced compound without an escort. Officials say they fear for the safety of women on their own.
The group, mostly in their twenties, want more independence and better living conditions, and have now started to protest about their life as second-class citizens.

“It’s about respect — officials speak to us like we’re nothing and call us street people,” said Hind el-Huni. “We want freedom too.”

The 23-year-old has spent six of the last 10 years in the shelter in this eastern city after fleeing a brother and father with alcohol problems.

Police can detain people found on the street in Libya, including “foundlings” who leave the shelter. Amid the rapid changes of the post-Qaddafi era, the women hope to gain more rights despite their classification as orphans, divorcees, or illegitimate children.

Intisa Mustapha, a lawyer who has lived among the group at the shelter for a month for what she says are personal reasons, says the social system must change.

“Some try to kill themselves, others attempt escape,” the 38-year-old said. “They are not allowed to live outside if they don’t have a home or job.

“We have a problem with the administration — the whole group is treated as inferior people. Some arrive bearing signs of abuse from men.”

Living two and four to a room, the women say their monthly stipend of 130 dinars ($106) was cut during the uprising against dictator Muammar Qaddafi, and their food reduced to mainly eggs and cheese.

Administrators say they are treated very well, although some admit corruption has slowed the payment of benefits. Libya’s interim government says funds are not available for now.
’Problem girls’
“These girls are a problem,” said Souhair el-Barghathe, the home’s former director who resigned in protest at the disorder in state administration as the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) struggles to bring order to Libya.

“They live in five-star conditions but since the revolution everyone feels they deserve something,” she said.

“They don’t want to clean up after themselves anymore and the views of social workers are ignored… Some have also had problems in the courts.”

The shelter is a branch of Benghazi’s House for Social Protection, which provides homes for some 200 people, mostly orphans who are minors but also adults with nowhere else to go.

In a conservative society where women are rarely alone, most of the women do not want to leave the safety of the shelter but want more freedom to come and go as they please.

Two have small children living with them, and one says she is afraid to take her sick toddler to the hospital for fear he will be taken away from her.

The women fear their difficulties will be forgotten by the new government following the sudden end of Qaddafi’s rule.

Outside the offices of the NTC in Benghazi, the birthplace of Libya’s uprising, people queue daily to present grievances and demand funds for a variety of reasons.

During Reuters’ visit to the House for Social Protection, one man burst into the main office, shouting and tearing at his shirt to show frustration at social payments he called a pittance. Its employees sighed with resignation.

Khloud Magrehi, a 24-year-old who lives at the shelter after being disowned by her family, said the Libyan justice system is harsh on people it considers undesirables.

“I’d like to study, but I can’t have a life,” she said, tears in her eyes. “I had a pushing fight with someone and a prosecutor ordered me into a dark cell the size of a closet for 12 days, with no change of clothes or toilet.”

At least half of the twelve say their lives were better when Qaddafi was in power. Above all, they want to have a hand in finding solutions to their troubles.

“I don’t like what the prosecutors tell me,” said Hind el-Huni. “They said I was old enough to get married, so if I really wanted to leave (the shelter) I should find a husband.”

Ali Tarhouni: A Libyan leader speaks out
Changing Libya — its poverty, its joblessness, or its lack of economic growth — will require more than magic. But change is crucial: It will determine whether this vast, oil-rich country becomes a democracy — and a stable market for global corporations — or slides into chaos.
Right now both scenarios seem possible. At least 20,000 Libyans have been killed, many of them civilians. Neighborhoods stand shattered, from the oil refinery town of Zawiyah to the port cities of Misurata and Sirte, where rebels killed Qaddafi on Oct. 20.

PROUD Nick Clegg shakes hands with Lt Commander Chris Raynes as he visits an RAF base to hail British hero fliers for their role in ridding Libya of Colonel Gaddafi.
The Deputy PM said: "They played an absolutely vital role. Gaddafi was quite clear in his intentions to massacre innocent people.
“That was stopped and then reversed. It really would not have happened at all without this extraordinary British effort.”
At its peak the UK had 2,300 personnel, 37 aircraft — which flew more than 3,000 sorties — and four ships committed to the operation.

Libya struggles to secure loose weapons

More than two months after the fall of Tripoli, Libya’s new leaders are still struggling to secure massive weapons depots, stop the smuggling of munitions out of the country and disarm thousands of fighters who brought down Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.
The international community has offered to help, but also expects Libyans to step up. However, the interim leadership — in limbo until the formation of a new government mid-month — may not be up to the task. Libya’s temporary leader, responding to increasingly urgent international appeals, said he can’t do much because he lacks the funds.

I think it is too early to answer this question because I cannot imagine the new administration, the new power in Libya that will be united by a certain idea – political idea, ideological idea and so on, because there are a lot of differences inside the Transitional Government. I do believe and everybody began to understand that the main role in this new governmental coalition will belong to Islamic movement. It is not dangerous but it will create some problems because, look, several days ago or maybe a week ago or two weeks ago they declared that Libya will become an Islamic state. What does it mean, what kind of law will be used? They mentioned Shariah.

Resolution 1970, adopted even as atrocities were being perpetrated, represented an historic milestone in the fight against impunity.

Libya: Arab Women Working to Ensure They Share in New Freedoms
Tunisians, Egyptians and Libyans all hope their revolutions are steering their countries toward greater freedoms and opportunities. For women, there is a special hope that the profound transformations they are seeing will allow them meaningful participation. But there is also a fear that the “Arab Awakening” could actually cause them to be further marginalized by men.
One day after Libya interim leader Mustafa Adbul Jalil’s October 23 speech marking the liberation of Libya from Muammar Qadhafi’s rule, the Voice of Libyan Women organization expressed disappointment not only that Jalil had called for polygamy, but also that he had merely thanked women for being mothers, sisters and wives.
“Need we remind him of the countless women who got arrested, killed and raped during this revolution, who fed and clothed our troops, smuggled weapons in their cars, hid soldiers in their homes, allowed and encouraged their sons, husbands, brothers and even fathers to go and fight?” asked the organization in an October 24 Facebook post.
Libya’s new rulers need to “understand that simply because women did not have the same job as men in this revolution it was not a lesser job. This was a Libyan revolution made by Libyan men and women,” the organization said.

Inspectors to check new Libya chemical weapons

The organization that oversees the global ban on chemical weapons said Friday it will work with Libya’s new rulers to “verify and destroy” possible chemical weapons hidden from international inspectors by Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said in a statement that Libyan authorities informed it earlier this week of suspected chemical weapons caches beyond the stockpiles earlier declared by Gadhafi.

Libyan PM says disarming rebels could take months
Disarming former Libyan rebels could take months and weapons will not be taken by force, Libya’s new prime minister said in an interview broadcast Friday, signaling a shift from previous pledges of quick action.

Abdurrahim el-Keib also acknowledged that the National Transitional Council, which is to lead Libya to its first free election within eight months, has not yet established full control over the country, but said it is making progress. The NTC declared Libya liberated on Oct. 23, three days after the capture and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Libya: Pro-Gaddafi group targets hundreds for assassination
Tripoli, 4 Nov. (AKI) – A Libyan group loyal to the late dictator Muammar Gaddafi says it has a list of 500 names it has targeted for assassination.
“We are ready to initiate a campaign to eliminate all the leaders of the National Transitional Council, killing them one by one,” the Libyan Liberation Front (LLF) said in a message posted on several Arab-language web sites, referring to the leadership of the rebels who toppled Gaddafi and now govern Libya.
The group says it was responsible for the recent killing al-Amin al-Manfur al-Manfa, a former confident of Gaddafi son Saif al-Islam changed sides to become an official working for the Transitional Council.
The LLF threatened to expand its targets beyond the initial names.
“This is only the first list that we intend to draw up. There are names of all the traitors that deserve the death penalty,” it said.

Libyan diplomat unloads on Qatar

In recent weeks, however, some Libyan political figures have been ramping up their criticism of Qatar for allegedly favoring Islamist leaders like exiled cleric Ali Sallabi and Tripoli Brigade leader Abdel Hakim Belhaj, a former head of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, over more secular-minded folks, and for circumventing the NTC.
Until now, such criticism has been couched in polite, but firm terms: Thanks for helping liberate us, but you need to butt out now. Qatar even signed an agreement pledging non-interference in Libya’s internal affairs.

Today’s girls, tomorrow’s leaders: Young women share their ambitions with Al Arabiya

Bridging differences, honor killing, the Arab Spring, and overcoming prejudices were just some of the issues young women from 40 countries talked about at a panel discussion hosted by Al Arabiya TV in Boston on Thursday.

For the second year in a row Al Arabiya TV aired “Girl Talk”, a discussion about the aspirations and concerns of the young female participants of the Empower Peace Program, an initiative by an institute that specializes in training women in becoming leaders in their communities.

Participants this year were largely from the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and South Asia. Young women were paired with roommates, usually from another country or culture, and shared their stories about their experiences and lessons learned in front of a five-member panel.

In her latest book, No Higher Honor: A Memoir Of My Years In Washington, Rice describes how the eccentric dictator played a montage of video images of her. The clip was set to a tune, written by a Libyan composer, titled African Flower In The White House.

Fighting in the Fifth Dimension

Innovations in technology are changing the tactics of modern-day conflict, turning the cyberworld into a new frontline.

It has been called the ‘fifth dimension of warfare’. Along with land, sea, air and space – the cyberworld is increasingly becoming a new frontline.
Innovations in technology are changing the tactics of modern-day conflict. There are new tools in today’s arsenal of weapons. Helped by advances in electro-magnetics and modern information and communications technology, a new form of electronic warfare has been created. It is called cyberwar and is increasingly recognised by governments and the military as posing a potentially grave threat.
And it is not just cyberwar that is a growing phenomenon. The internet has empowered cyberactivism, allowing people to share information and mobilise support to take direct action – both online and on the streets.

Al Arabiya
Amnesty International urges Tunisia not to extradite Libyan ex-PM
Amnesty International urged Tunisia on Friday not to extradite Libyan ex-prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi back to his country, saying he risked being subject to “serious human rights violations.”

The London-based rights group has written to the Tunisian justice ministry to express its concerns about the 70-year-old, who was arrested on September 21 on Tunisia’s southwestern border with Algeria.

Mahmoudi, Libya’s premier until the final weeks of Muammar Qaddafi’s regime, was held under a warrant from the new authorities in Tripoli, and a Tunisian court is due to review their extradition request on Tuesday.
In the letter sent last Wednesday, “we said that Amnesty International believes that if he would be returned to Libya, he would at present face real risks, serious human rights violations, including torture … extra-judicial execution and unfair trial,” the group’s north Africa spokesman James Lynch told AFP.

“It’s about the risk to the person, it’s not about his particular crimes. It’s about the risks to him and the people like him being returned,” he said.

Shortly after Mahmoudi’s arrest, a Tunisian court sentenced him to six months in prison after finding him guilty of illegal entry. That decision was overturned on appeal.

Tunisia in August recognized Libya’s National Transitional Council as the country’s new authority and has committed itself to cooperation on security issues.

But Mahmoudi’s lawyer Mabrouk Kourchid said this week that his client fears for his life as the sole holder of Libyan state secrets since Qaddafi’s death on Oct. 20.

Libya’s rebels take revenge
SITTING in their home on the outskirts of Tripoli, a Libyan family is afraid. Their fear is that a knock on the door could come from the rebel militias that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
This situation is extraordinary. Only weeks ago, these people were enthusiastic supporters of the uprising against the Gaddafi regime. One of the members of the family sitting in the living room was a rebel fighter. He spent two days in a gunfight in Tripoli battling the bodyguards of Gaddafi’s son Mutassim, and still keeps a

Kalashnikov in the boot of his car.

Libya militias taking law into own hands

Many of the fighters that pushed Muammar Qaddafi from power have refused to stand down. Now, some of Libya militias are allegedly stealing and targeting Qaddafi supporters for revenge.

How do you ask a group of armed men if the rumors that they’re a gang of ordinary thieves are true? You begin with a joke
“Is it true that you guys stole an elephant from the Tripoli zoo, took it back to Zintan, and mounted an antiaircraft gun on its back?”
Mohamed Kor, a stern, bearded commander of the Zintan Brigade, can’t help but chuckle.
“I know we have a bad reputation,” he says in his office in Rigatta, a luxury beachfront compound in West Tripoli, where the fighters from Zintan have taken up residence. “We get called every day by people who say that fighters from Zintan are stealing. But it’s not true. These are common criminals who abuse the name Zintan because they think it will protect them. As soon as we catch them we will expose them to the world.”
And no, he adds, “the elephant really wasn’t us.”

Libya: explosive devices continue to kill and maim civilians

Although fighting has ceased in most places, civilians continue to be injured or killed regularly by explosive devices. In Bani Walid, and particularly in Sirte, where the highest concentration of ordnance is to be found and the humanitarian impact is the most serious, the ICRC is launching urgent campaigns to educate people about the risks.
“There have already been several confirmed casualties in Sirte, including an eight-year-old girl who lost her arm while playing with an explosive device,” said Guy Marot, an ICRC expert. “Our immediate goal is to ensure that further deaths and injuries among civilians are kept to an absolute minimum.” A high level of weapon contamination in farmlands and elsewhere in the area of Zlitan, west of Misrata, has caused approximately 30 casualties so far.

Catholic Weekend
Muslims gather for Hajj to pray for peace in roiling Arab world
As countless Muslims gather in Saudi Arabia this week for annual Hajj pilgrimage, they will be offering up prayers for peace that have recently torn apart the Arab world.

Some 2.5 million people are expected to participate in the five-day event that begins this Saturday. The event will focus on Mecca, Islam’s holiest site and the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad.

This year’s observance is taking place during a time of unprecedented political and social change. Autocratic rule has been toppled in the nations of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Uprisings have also shaken the regimes of Yemen, Bahrain and Syria.

Hajj is typically a time to seek forgiveness for one’s sins and meditate on the faith. However, the recent tumult will be weighing heavily on the minds of many pilgrims.

“The situation in Yemen is tragic and I pray to God to end this crisis very soon,” Adil Mohammed al-Saidi, who has taken part in anti-government protests there, says. “I hope that President Ali Abdullah Saleh, his forces and supporters put an end to this situation.”

The nation of Syria has had one of the bloodiest government crackdowns against protesters. The United Nations says some 3,000 people have been killed since the revolt began in mid-March.

Khalaf Jumaa al-Hamidi, a father of five from Aleppo, Syria, says he has asked for peace in his homeland. “We pray to God that security be revealed in our country and other Islamic countries,” he said.

Youssef Issa Askar from Libya hailed the end of the Khadafi regime and is urging patience as the country’s new rulers try to create a state out of the rubble of Khadafi’s rule.

“We lived 40 years of oppression, slavery and injustice,” he said outside Mecca’s Grand Mosque, with his identification card bearing the red, green and black flag of the revolution. “I’d like to address the Libyan people who were patient all these 40 years and tell them to be patient one or two more years so that the security is maintained and the situation is better.”

The oldest and most sacred ritual of Islam, Hajj is a required observance among every able-bodied Muslim who can financially afford the trip that all must perform once in their lifetime. The trek brings together the many countries that make up the 1.3 billion Muslims worldwide.

The pilgrimage is intended to cleanse the soul of sin and to win absolution by tracing the footsteps of the Prophet Mohammed and Abraham, whom Muslims view as a forefather of Islam.

It culminates when the pilgrims gather on Mount Arafat where the Prophet Mohammed

is said to have given his last sermon 14 centuries ago. During the ritual Muslims believe God will grant whatever prayers they make.

#RevolutionMemories The uncertainty about Brega front progress before it was liberated

bilal H.B.
#RevolutionMemories is a touchy subject i choose not speak about because as much as i have Great memories i still remember my dead friends.

I remember when it was cold at night 2KM from Brega we used to sing missing our moms, Dark/sweet times indeed

At day in Brega it was hot really hot TOO hot some times we just try to survive the hot weather not the enemy rockets

I remember when my eye issues started i didn’t tell anyone until one day i woke up and everything was completely blurred now that was scary

I remember when i was in Sirte and got injured(Again)it was a very bad day for us i screamed my lungs out and i was scared 4 the first time

At ben Jawad i was there when they betrayed the FFs i remember some guys were crying and why did they betray us! we were nice back then.

I told if i start talking about #RevolutionMemories only bad memories will come I’m trying my best to put this Rev behind me.

How can a country with 6 million population take over and headline the news? No country can, unless it’s #Libya!

In just 15 days #HumanRights reported the death of 6000 Libyans in the Rev and the war haven’t even started! and some dare to question us!

Did any one mention that #Libya is now the most talked about country in 2011 and BTW we didn’t go to war with America!

Every leader know his country better than any one that’s why Gaddafi had deals with mercenaries because he knew #Libyans would turn on him.

And because Gaddafi knew his people he also prepared militias that will only protect him and weakened the official Libyan army #Libya

Some may say there are struggles between Islamic parties and Liberals i don’t deny it but i reply show me a country without left and right?

JomanaCNN jomana karadsheh
been back in #Tripoli for a week now.. still very surreal …almost everything changed. #Libya

slowly meeting up with people i had met before…

It’s nice to be able to go around the city without sneaking around :)

people seem happier than i recall, streets alive, notorious pre-rev traffic back&most ppl speak to us! but there r challenges ahead

SA mercenaries in the Mad Dog’s war
The murmurs of South African involvement in the botched escape of fallen despot Muammar “Mad Dog” Gaddafi are becoming too loud to ignore. SIMON ALLISON sifts through the reports and rumours surrounding local guns-for-hire and their doomed Libyan adventure.
Let’s start with what we know for sure – because after that it all gets a bit murky. On 20 October a convoy containing deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi sped out of his hometown of Sirte. The convoy was targeted by Nato warplanes. It halted. Gaddafi left his vehicle, and sought cover in a storm drain, where he was captured by forces aligned with Libya’s National Transitional Council and subsequently killed. He may or may not have been tortured and executed, but that’s a mystery for another time.

Libya designates committee to follow up on Sadr case

The Libyan authorities have designated the country’s Higher Security Committee to follow up on the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr, the director general of the Foreign Affairs Ministry Haissam Joumaa said Friday.
The National News Agency reported that Jomaa had briefed Foreign Affairs Minister Adnan Mansour about his recent visit to Libya as part of the ministry’s delegation to follow up on the case of Sadr, the influential Shiite leader who disappeared in 1978 while on a visit to Libya along with two companions.
The delegation traveled to Libya on Oct. 23, days after deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was indicted by Lebanon’s Judicial Council over the disappearance of Sadr, was captured and killed by rebels.

Jomaa was quoted as saying that the Libyan authorities were “determined to pursue the case to the fullest.”

Obama: Libya Mission Underscores NATO’s Effectiveness
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2011 – The Operation Unified Protector mission in Libya demonstrated that NATO remains the world’s most effective alliance, President Barack Obama said today as he and French President Nicolas Sarkozy praised the men and women who carried it out.
Speaking alongside Sarkozy at France’s Cannes City Hall following the Group of 20 economic summit, Obama recognized the solidarity their two countries and NATO showed as they protected the Libyan people from Moammar Gadhafi’s brutality.
“The United States was proud to play a decisive role, especially in the early days, taking out Libyan air defenses and conducting precision attacks that stopped the regime in its tracks,” Obama said.

The way the mission was conducted underscored NATO’s effectiveness and set a standard for the future, he said.
“We acted quickly, in days,” the president said. “And whether contributing forces or command staff, every single one of NATO’s 28 members played a role.”
Eighteen nations, including Arab states, provided forces to the operation, he said.
“And in an historic first, our NATO allies, including France, and especially the extraordinary leadership of President Sarkozy, helped us to conduct 90 percent of our strike missions,” Obama said.
This showed more nations bearing the burdens and costs of peace and prosperity, he said. “And that’s how our alliance must work in the 21st century,” he added.

Libyan women savor new freedoms after revolution
Like many Libyan women, Siham el-Zentani was consumed by family responsibilities, staying at home to care for her four teenage children. But when she saw the TV images of Libyan refugees fleeing Moammar Gaddafi’s troops this year, she announced to her husband that she had a new mission. “I want to go,” she said.
Within weeks, the 54-year-old Benghazi resident recalled, she was hiking into the western mountains with two female friends, their backpacks stuffed with cash they had collected to help displaced Libyans and anti-Gaddafi rebels.

Women in Libya and the Arab Spring

On November 2, the Subcommittee on International Operations and Organizations, Human Rights, Democracy, and Global Women’s Issues and the Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South Central Asian Affairs organized a testimony for the Senate Foreign Relations committee on the role of women in the Arab Spring.
As part of the panel representing civil society viewpoints, I took the opportunity to focus on the specific role of Libyan women, and the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead of them during the nation building process.
As the Director of the United States Institute of Peace’s programs on Iraq, Iran and North Africa, I have been able to bring a cross comparative view point to the work in Libya.

Libyans Seek Secular Security Chief
Top Libyan rebel commanders who toppled the Gadhafi regime have held secret meetings over the previous week to solve the thorny questions of who should lead a new national army and how to disarm the country’s dizzying number of armed regional militias, according to four officials who attended the meetings.

No choice has yet been made about Libya’s new defense leadership, these officials say. But, many of the approximately two dozen participants in these meetings have aligned around a short list of candidates without significant links to the country’s Islamist fighting groups to lead the new armed forces and to fill the post of defense minister. Among the handful of names are a respected dissident ex-military officer and a controversial Libyan who lived in the U.S. and is believed to have close ties to American defense agencies.

Quick history lesson on Cyrene (Shahat) an ancient Greek/Roman town in East Libya (Cyrenaica) #Libya, so feel free to look away now :p

Cyrene, aka the ‘Athens of Africa’ was founded in 630BC by settlers from the island of Thera (Santorini) led by Battus I #Libya #Cyrene

Cyrene became one of the richest and most important cities in the Mediterranean exporting the herb ‘Silphium’ #Libya #Cyrene

Silphium was said to cure almost anything however Overgrazing combined with overharvesting is said to have led to it’s extinction #Cyrene

Legend has it that the Oracle in Santorini sent a colony to ‘Libya’ due to overpopulation in the island, they settled in Cyrene (shahat)

Tripolis (Tripoli) refers to the 3 cities (now one big city) in the East the region was refered to as pentapolis (the 5 cities)

The Pentapolis was named by the Greeks referring to 5 cities in the East which are the following (I’ll need a new tweet :p )

The ancient greeks who settled in Cyrene also founded a new city named Euesperides

in 525BC, this was used as a port to the capital Cyrene

The name Euesperides was given due to the fertility of the land in this area (associations with the garden of Hesperides)

Euesperides was renamed to Berenice after the daughter of Cyrenean Governor Magas.

Berenice was later renamed again, this time to Hesperides after the guardians of the mythic western paradise

Hesperides was now under Roman rule and prospered becoming more important than Cyrene (shahat) and Barca (Marej)

In 1042AD Arab tribes had migrated to East Libya from Taif, Al Hijaz. Hesprides is now seen on the map referred to as Ibn Ghazi

This name Ibn Ghazi was most likely named after a noble man (Ghazi) who lived in this city

In 1578 AD the Turks had arrived, This city now referred to as Beni Ghazi (sons of Ghazi) it was now under Ottoman rule

Benghazi was said to be the most impoverished of the Ottoman provinces. Thus the people in this city referred to it as Benghazi al Mujahida

In both 1854 and 1874 Benghazi was devastated by bubonic plague. The title Benghazi Al Mujahida stuck

1911 the Italians invade, The resistance under Omar Mokhtar starts in Benina (just outside Benghazi) The region suffers tremendously

On 1 June 1949, emir Idris declared the “independence” of Cyrenaica from Benghazi after a long war with the Italians

The states of Tripolitania and Fezzen also gaining freedom agree to join Cyrenaica with it’s Emir acting as a king to all 3 states

So, on 24 December 1951 a new country is born, The United Kingdom of Libya. The

declaration of Independence announced in Benghazi

On the 1st Sept 1969 Gaddafi announces his rule over Libya from a radio station in Benghazi, a bloody 42 years was to follow

On the 15th Feb 2011 the first protests start in Benghazi which would bring down the dictator after 42 long years in power

On the 23rd October 2011 Liberation of Libya once more is announced from Benghazi

Tunisie : les similitudes avec la Libye dans les moyens de censure des communications

Depuis la chute de Tripoli, des journalistes, des enquêteurs et d’anciens employés de la compagnie libyenne Libya Telecom et Technologie (LTT) sont sortis de leur silence et ont expliqué en détails la façon dont le gouvernement libyen surveillait les réseaux internet et téléphonique.
Ces récits démontrent la complexité de la relation entre des sociétés étrangères spécialisées dans l’IT et le régime Kadhafi, rappelant des relations similaires avec les régimes répressifs de Tunisie, d’Egypte, deSyrie et de bien d’autres encontre au Moyen Orient et ailleurs.
Dans le cas de la Libye, il est maintenant clair qu’avant que ne débute la rébellion, le régime avait comme priorité la surveillance et le collecte de données plutôt que sur le filtrage. Avec le début de la guerre, le régime de Kadhafi s’est précipité afin de mettre en place des technologies de filtrage et de blocage, et a fait appel à des spécialistes étrangers pour attaquer les sites et les communications de l’opposition.

I heard NTC imported 800K sheep for Eid. If you think about what that is worth in money you’ll be shocked.

Now a tiny sheep is worth 500LD, the 800K = 400M LD that is enough to heal all our wounded FF. That’s ajir to me :)

Files show convicted arms dealer’s Libyan ties

— Records found in Moammar Gadhafi’s former intelligence headquarters show that British officials apparently warned the Libyan government in 2003 about its dealings with Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer just convicted on federal conspiracy charges.
The documents, which indicate Bout was trying to expand his operations in Libya, add fresh intrigue to questions about whether he played a role in Gadhafi’s rush to bolster weapons caches in the years before the recent uprising that drove him from power.

Arab world’s hard work has just begun
I’ve had the moving and educational experience of spending a few days in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, studying the narratives and lessons of the civil rights movement in the United States. Simultaneously, I have kept an eye on the Arab world that is trying to make its own transition from a condition of autocracy and mass citizen rights denials to one of greater equality and human dignity.

I will write in my next column on the many parallels I see between the American civil rights struggle and the two relevant struggles throughout our region: the citizen revolts in several Arab countries and the continuing Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation, colonization and subjugation.

Libyan Chemical Weapons Stockpiles Intact, Say Inspectors — The Guardian
Chemicals declared under 2004 convention are in depot in south-east Libya, and further stocks may have been found.

Libya’s stockpiles of mustard gas and chemicals used to make weapons are intact and were not stolen during the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, weapons inspectors have said.

The Hague-based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said destruction of the materials would resume as soon as possible. However, it said the Libyan authorities had advised it on 1 November that further stocks of what are believed to be chemical weapons had been found, and that Libya would make a new declaration of its stocks soon.

War on you
Western Mercenaries and Corporations Pouring Into Libya

Western security firms – a polite term for mercenary outfits – are cramming planes into Libya to make the country safe for an invasion of western capitalists, the real beneficiaries of NATO’s war. So frenzied is the crush of war capitalists and their hired gunmen seeking to cash in on the Libyan catastrophe, the New York Times tell us a $5 cab ride from Tripoli’s airport to downtown hotels now costs $800. The head of the U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce calls it a “gold rush,” as officials of the government established by force of NATO airpower lay out the red carpet for the foreign hordes. Libya’s nominal new rulers in the Transitional National Council are in a rush to sell off the nation’s birthright before they’ve even got it in their hands.

Libya dispatch: as lawlessness spreads, are the rebel ‘good guys’ turning bad?
Abdul Mojan’s moment of realisation came when the good guys threw him into the boot of their car, slammed it shut and drove off with him a prisoner inside.
When they finally stopped and hauled him out, he asked them: “What are you doing? I’m a revolutionary just like you! I’ve never supported Gaddafi.’”
But the former rebels didn’t care. They had taken a liking to the new office block in western Tripoli that Mr Mojan managed and they wanted the keys and ownership documents. He tried to reason with them, pointing out that there were plenty of government buildings standing empty.

50 wounded Libyans to receive treatment in Denmark

Denmark will treat 50 Libyans injured during the conflict in Libya, the Foreign Ministry

said here Friday.
Libya’s National Transitional Council requested the Danish government to provide the specialized treatment required by the individuals, the ministry said in a statement.
The 50 patients will be flown to Denmark in an Air Force Hercules cargo aircraft that is specially outfitted transport the sick and wounded. They will then be taken for treatment at the university hospitals in the cities of Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense, the statement added.
“I am glad we have the opportunity to help at least some of the many people wounded in Libya. It is indeed tragic that so many have been hurt,” said the foreign minister, Villy Søvndal, in the statement.

The Point
Libya and the Left

In late March of 2011, a massacre was averted—not just any ordinary massacre, mind you. For had Qaddafi and his forces managed to crush the Libyan rebellion in what was then its stronghold, Benghazi, the aftershocks would have reverberated well beyond eastern Libya. As Tom Malinowski of Human Rights Watch wrote, “Qaddafi’s victory—alongside Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s fall—would have signaled to other authoritarian governments from Syria to Saudi Arabia to China that if you negotiate with protesters you lose, but if you kill them you win.” Qaddafi’s defeat seemed to send a message to American politicians and media instead. Contrasting Obama’s handling of Libya with Clinton’s handling of the Balkans, Malinowski observed that “Presidents get more credit for stopping atrocities after they begin than for preventing them before they get out of hand.”

American writer from Md. who joined Libyan rebel fighters returning to US after Gadhafi’s fall

LINTHICUM, Md. — An American writer is returning home Saturday after spending more than five months in solitary confinement in Libyan prisons, then joining the rebel forces who opposed dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Earlier this year, 32-year-old Matthew VanDyke was working in Baltimore on a book and film about a motorcycle trip across the Middle East and southeast Asia when he decided to witness the uprising in Libya. He disappeared during a day trip to Brega in March.

When will begin Jihad in Libya?
One of the biggest questions that caused this year’s serious worries among Western experts was the question of how uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, which are called the Arab Spring, would affect the al-Qaeda movement, wrote Jewish analyst Aaron Zelin on his blog.

Some said that the Arab Spring was an event that “discredited” al-Qaeda, because the Muslim masses were only for shedding off the yoke of dictatorial regimes and the provision of freedom. However, another part of the experts quickly realized that the Arab Spring was a good opportunity for the supporters of Jihad to take matters into their own hands.

Libyan women savor new freedoms after revolution
TRIPOLI, Libya — Like many Libyan women, Siham el-Zentani was consumed by family responsibilities, staying at home to care for her four teenage children. But when she saw the TV images of Libyan refugees fleeing Moammar Gaddafi’s troops this year, she announced to her husband that she had a new mission. “I want to go,” she said.

The interim government is paying for the pilgrimage by those who lost family members in the uprising.

This year, in the first Hajj since the revolution, every pilgrim selected to make the journey by Libya’s interim government is someone who lost a family member in the battle against former leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The Transitional National Council is also funding the trip of those selected.

Kadhafi’s grandiose war machine rusted in the desert
Crumbling jet fighters and rusted tanks, commanded by yes-men rather than competent officers: this is the picture of a grandiose but decrepit war machine emerging after Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi’s downfall.
Kadhafi dreamt of becoming the leader of a united Africa and spent billions of dollars building up the continent’s biggest arsenal.
His huge spending spree, totally out of proportion with the needs of a nation with Libya’s population, highlighted the “excesses and delusions of grandeur suffered by the Guide of the Revolution,” Karim Bitar, of the French Institute of International and Strategic Studies (IFRIS), told AFP.
The army that Kadhafi inherited from King Idriss, when he overthrew the monarchy in a bloodless coup in 1969, was not insignificant — Libya had been involved in a border conflict with Sudan and Chad from 1963.
But Libya’s huge oil revenues allowed Kadhafi to shell out on supersonic warplanes, tanks by the thousands, missiles and astronomical quantities of munitions.

Tripoli eases toward normalcy despite cash shortages
The Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha is just around the corner, but Ismail doubts he can afford a sheep, whose sacrifice and sharing with family, friends and the poor is central to the feast.
Prices in the Libyan capital have “skyrocketed, and I don’t have access to all the money in my bank account,” says the father of five.
“If I buy the sheep, I won’t have any money left for the rest of the month.”
Tripoli and the regime of strongman Moamer Kadhafi fell at the end of August, and life has begun returning to normal in the Mediterranean seaside capital.
But Ismail’s plight is common in an economy where cash is still short and where, after thousands of migrant workers fled during months of fighting, there is a serious labour shortage.
At the same time, many of the foreign investors who also fled the violence have yet to return.

This is a must read:

sharon_lynch
i will share something with you that took me by surprise, but he says it better than i. i learned very recently that my late bf’s brother, who writes for a cambodian newspaper, was in misrata in june. here is how he remembers his time in libya: "Yes, despite all the media hype, and the dubious idea of the righteousness of war, these rebels were truly Romantic heroic figures – unbelievably so, despite the inevitable atrocities that were and still will be, no doubt, committed by them in the conflict – the courage of these young men, and their sense of belief, made me ashamed of my own lack of these qualities…….
While the rockets came screeching in (I can never forget this eerie sound), or, perhaps more terrifyingly, the mortar or tank shells exploded nearby without warning – or for that matter that vicious but softly melodious whistling sound of simple bullets flying just overhead, so strangely familiar from cowboy movies – the rebels would yell “Allah akbar”, at least whenever Gadafi’s soldiers (or simply “Gadafi” as they called them) failed to hit someone or something substantial, and beaming, they would hold up some piece of deadly looking and still smouldering piece of shrapnel that had just pinged off

some wall nearby and landed at our feet – while Dan and whoever else he might be with, more often than not his somewhat more experienced Finnish war-photographer friend, cowered for cover with that wince on the face you make when someone big is about to hit you and you try to courageously hide the overpowering feeling of “please not today, God”, the shebab (“young boys” as they called the rebels there) would laugh uproariously at us, standing straight up in the line of fire, saying to us “Don’t worry, my friends, Allah is with us!” – then they would yell “Allah Akbar” again – yes, they really do this – and fire back at “Gadafi” teasing his much higher firepower into firing on them again – whereupon they’d say “Come, my friends, best we leave now – Gadafi will be shooting back soon when he gets our position”. .this heroism and laughing in the face of death – and also, bizarrely, the farcical nature of life – was summed up by the leader of one of these shebab militia groups – with their beautiful home-made No.8 wire (that’s a NZ term, Sharon – “rough and ready made – inelegant but effective” – no better term i can think of) weapons, which any kiwi farmer would surely admire: General Ali – he led a shebab group on the western front of Misurata – at the time the only way in or out was by boat as Gadafi still had the whole city surrounded and was still firing rockets into the city ever day at random, murdering and terrorising the population (ironically one landed in the city harbour, right in front of our eyes, about 100 metres away from the fishing boat i was on, when i finally left the city for Benghazi – it looked amazingly graceful and incandescent as it floated in) – although the city was way safer then than when TH and CH were there – the actual fighting and frontline was 20 or so KMs out of the city by then – however the inner city almost looked like Dresden in ‘45. I spent most of my time with this wonderful group of fine young rebels, with that most ironic hilarious Arab sense of humour. General Ali – ex-jet fighter pilot with Gadafi’s airforce, and then in charge of airforce intelligence in Tripoli, had defected when the revolution began, and had, in legendary manner which has become famous there, fled on foot all the way from Tripoli to Misurata to join the rebellion. He spoke in an eccentric English like a Clint Eastwood who had smoked way too many cigarettes – unbelievable voice – and carried a blue soccer referee’s whistle and wore a matching base-ball cap at all times, along with, of course, his AK47: “You see this whistle – it is secret weapon – it more valuable than machine gun. It is psychological warfare – when Gadafi hear this, he tremble in boots.” Rather hilariously, when out on patrol, and the shells were coming in, no one seemed to be able to hear the General’s whistle as he blew on it ferociously to give commands to his troops, so everyone just kept on firing merrily at will in whatever direction they thought best. While telling us to keep down, they would dramatically leap up from cover and fire away with their machine guns and rocket propelled grenades just like in those old war movies. But the biggest cowboy of them all was the over 60 year old general, who would lead his ’boys" shooting from the hip – or even more dramatically, with his AK47 held sideways over his head, ganster-rapper style – swaggering out into the line of fire and letting Gadafi have it, never deigning to run back like the others, but calmly walking back into cover, saying with a smile “OK boys, we better be off now – Gadafi is going to be very angry after that one”. A warm and wonderful host – he always ensured

we got the best of the food and told us we were completely safe with him, and that was his priority – he said he would die to protect us, and I believe him – the faith and conviction of these men! A few days after i got back to cambodia, i heard the news that General Ali was killed by a rocket while out on patrol. Several of his men were badly injured in the same attack. Apparently they all managed to drag themselves out of their hospital beds, much to the dismay of their doctors, to attend the funeral……"

Muslim arabs prepare for Eid al-Adha
Muslims all over the world are gearing up to celebrate Eid al-Adha, also known as the festival of sacrifice, with family and friends on Sunday.

In the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, families hit the shops to buy clothes for their children, while the local fairground was being readied to welcome the next few days of fun for families.

While Sunnis celebrate Eid on Sunday, Shiite Iraqis will observe the holiday on Monday.

Meanwhile, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, shoppers flocked to the markets to purchase sweet treats and nuts to offer to visiting friends and relatives, while residents of the Gaza Strip, browsed for potential sheep to slaughter, an important ritual during Eid al-Adha.

The tradition of sacrificing an animal during this holiday commemorates the time when God ordered Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismael but changed the order at the last minute to a sheep instead.

Libyans have another reason to celebrate, following the death of former leader Muammer Qaddafi, as they mark the first Eid free of his rule.

They too were shopping for sacrificial animals ahead of the holidays, despite the high costs.

“Look at this shop selling sheep. I think it’s too expensive for the price. A small animal costs 400 to 700 Libyan dinar (approximately $300 to $500). This is too expensive for me because my salary is around 350 dinar.” (approximately $270 ) said Mustafa al-Abusefi, a customer.

Although the ritual of slaughtering a sacrificial animal during Eid is mandated to those who can afford it, many Muslims want to be able to participate in this tradition.

Accord entre le CNT et le Niger sur le sort des réfugiés pro-Kadhafi
Une délégation du Conseil national de transition (CNT) libyen était ce jeudi 3 novembre 2011 à Niamey où elle a rencontré le chef de l’État nigérien. Les discussions ont porté sur la sécurisation des frontières nigéro-libyenne, de la sécurité dans le Sahara mais aussi du sort des pro-Kadhafi qui ont trouvé refuge au Niger. Parmi eux, le fils de l’ancien Guide libyen, Saaidi Kadhafi, des généraux et l’ancien chef de la sécurité. Le CNT et la présidence nigérienne semblent s’être entendus sur les différents points, comme le confirme Mohamed Bazoum, ministre des Affaires étrangères. Le Niger a reconnu le CNT le 27 août 2011, bien avant la mort du colonel Kadhafi. (*) Une délégation ministérielle nigérienne devrait se rendre très prochainement en Libye à l’invitation des nouvelles autorités.

Cette dernière opération, très délicate, pourrait prendre des mois.

My friend, the fixer
Reporting on the uprising in Libya, Patrick Cockburn recruited an idealistic Tripoli hotel worker as his guide. Shortly before Gaddafi’s fall, Ahmed Abdullah al-Ghadamsi was killed. This is his tribute

I first met Ahmed Abdullah al-Ghadamsi in Tripoli last August about seven weeks before he was killed in one of the last battles of the Libyan war.
I was staying in the Radisson Blu, a large hotel that overlooks the harbour and

overfilled with journalists who had poured into the Libyan capital after the rebels captured it. There were still frequent bursts of firing and very few cars in the streets because people thought it was too dangerous to go out and there was an acute shortage of petrol.

Libyan revolution opens door for Islamic finance
Libya’s civil war devastated its economy and banking system. But the revolution has created conditions for strong growth of an industry which made little headway under former dictator Muammar Gaddafi: Islamic finance.
Announcing the country’s liberation to a cheering crowd in Benghazi last week, the head of the new government made few concrete pledges of economic policy. But one of them was to promote Islamic finance, which prohibits the lending of money for interest and other practices violating religious principles.
“We as a Muslim nation have taken Islamic Shariah as the source of legislation, therefore any law that contradicts the principles of Islam is legally nullified,” said National Transitional Council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil. “We are working to establish Islamic banks that are far from interest.”

It was early in the Libya mission when Italian authorities picked up the distress call. By the next morning, HMCS Charlottetown had gone from enforcing an arms embargo to providing humanitarian assistance.

It was March and at the time the Canadian frigate was operating off the coast of Tripoli, part of a ring of NATO warships tasked with making sure weapons and ammunition didn’t get into the country and the hands of Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
But when the Italians relayed the distress call to NATO commanders, who in turn ordered the Canadian frigate to investigate, the Charlottetown’s crew leaped into action.

Libya’s property issues
DHAHRA Street in central Tripoli isn`t much to look at. On one side is the state-owned Mellitah oil company. Opposite is an unprepossessing three-storey block of faded stucco where Wissam al-Aqari`s little grocer`s shop occupies the corner unit.

What catches the eye these days is an Arabic sentence scrawled across a wall next to the shop: “This building is the rightful property and inheritance of Muhammed al-Jafairya.”
Such claims of ownership can be seen all over Tripoli and across the country. Just how the original owners will get back — or be compensated for — the billions worth of lost properties is one of the toughest questions facing Libya`s new rulers.

Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha

Millions of Muslims around the world celebrate Eid, as Hajj pilgrims begin their journey.

Millions of Muslims around the world are celebrating the annual Eid al-Adha holiday, which coincides with the second day of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam.
Eid al-Adha, or the “Feast of the Sacrifice”, is one of the biggest events in the Muslim calendar, marking Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his own son as an act of obedience to God. At the last minute, God intervened, and gave Abraham a ram to sacrifice instead.
Traditionally, Muslims sacrifice an animal at Eid and share the meat with their families, neighbours, and people less fortunate than themselves.

Libya: Belarusian President Lukashenko says NATO ‘did worse than the Nazis’

MINSK (BNO NEWS) — Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who is often called the last dictator of Europe, has described the NATO-led operation in Libya as ‘vandalism’ and said the multinational alliance did ‘worse than the Nazis.’

When asked what he thought about the situation in Libya, Lukashenko told reporters that he saw NATO’s operation as an ‘act of 21st century vandalism.’ “How can we view this? Extremely negative. How can we regard the actions of NATO forces in Libya? As a violation of the mandate of the UN Security Council.”
Lukashenko, who described the UN Security Council as ‘stupid’ and ‘brainless’, accused the UN and NATO of helping ‘aggressors’ in Libya. “During the aggression, the country’s leadership has been murdered, not only Muammar Gaddafi,” he said. “Besides, he was killed by NATO special forces. They mocked him, tortured him, raped the injured man, broke his arms and then killed him. They did worse than the Nazis in their time.”

Files show convicted arms dealer’s Libyan ties
WASHINGTON (AP) — Records found in Moammar Gadhafi’s former intelligence headquarters show that British officials apparently warned the Libyan government in 2003 about its dealings with Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer just convicted on federal conspiracy charges.
The documents, which indicate Bout was trying to expand his operations in Libya, add fresh intrigue to questions about whether he played a role in Gadhafi’s rush to bolster weapons caches in the years before the recent uprising that drove him from power.

Deadly Racism in Post-Gaddafi Libya
In the aftermath of the Libyan revolution against Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, many black Sub-Saharan African migrants and dark skinned Libyans continue to be the target of attacks by armed “revolutionaries”. While race has long been a dividing line in the predominantly Arab country, “the atrocities attributed to black mercenaries during the uprising against Gaddafi, as well as the allegiance some regions populated by dark-skinned Libyans showed him in the war, have given the race question a new and deadly currency,” according Joseph Logan of IOL News.

With Muammar Gaddafi’s death a line has been drawn under his regime, though the fog of war is far from cleared. In the meantime, it has become politically expedient to decry the relationship fostered since 2003 between the last British government and Gaddafi’s regime.
Former prime minister Tony Blair, officers from the British secret intelligence service, the London School of Economics (in the news again last week): all have been criticised for the personal relationships they built with senior Libyans, to the extent of being accused of turning a blind eye to human rights and other abuses.

The East African
Lessons from Libya for the wretched of the earth
The fall of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi and the inhuman manner of his death, was not because he did not spend money buying weapons to shoot down Nato planes.
Those who sell weapons to Third World countries, however friendly and however oil-rich the country in question might be, never sell them the state of the art.
They never sell weapons they cannot jam, or destroy. Even the experts who come to install them are more loyal to their countries and fellow Westerners than to us — the wretched of the earth, who produce what we don’t consume and consume what we don’t produce and feel proud.
But before we learn from Libya, let us look at just three African stories.

THE former professor who emerged last week as the surprise choice for Libyan Prime Minister says his toughest challenge will be the future of thousands of young men who have been traumatised by a war that took them within days from classrooms and jobs to the frontline.
“These kids saw their brothers and friends killed,” said Abdulrahim el-Keib, an electrical engineer. He was elected by the national transitional council, whose executive officers will remain Libya’s de facto government until he names his cabinet in a fortnight.

Libyan refugee rescue reveals Canadian crew’s ability to adapt

Time at sea off Libyan coast took some unexpected turns for frigate, Lee Berthiaume writes
It was early in the Libya mission when Italian authorities picked up the distress call. By the next morning, HMCS Charlottetown had gone from enforcing an arms embargo to providing humanitarian assistance.
It was March and at the time the Canadian frigate was operating off the coast of Tripoli, part of a ring of NATO warships tasked with making sure weapons and ammunition didn’t get into the country and the hands of Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
But when the Italians relayed the distress call to NATO commanders, who in turn ordered the Canadian frigate to investigate, the Charlottetown’s crew leaped into action.

UN envoy warns of missing Libya arms
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Some weapons depots in Libya have still not been secured properly, and “much has already gone missing” from unguarded sites, the top U.N. envoy in Libya said in an interview Sunday.
Preventing more weapons from being smuggled out of country will be difficult, considering the nature of the vast desert nation’s borders, the envoy, Ian Martin, told The Associated Press.
“That has to be a priority now, to secure what still remains in Libya,” he said. “Over time, the international community can assist Libya and its neighbors with that, but I am afraid there is not a quick and easy solution to that problem.”

Libye : célébrations de l’Aïd au goût amer à Syrte

Syrte, réduite à l‘état de ruine. Dans la ville natale de Mouammar Kadhafi, dernière cité libyenne à avoir libérée, l’heure n’est pas vraiment à la fête en ces célébrations de l’Aïd. Il faut dire que les habitants manquent cruellement de tout, à commencer par l’eau, l‘électricité et surtout le gaz. Difficile dans de telles conditions, de profiter au mieux de ce premier Aïd al-Kebir de l’après-Kadhafi

Dans la cour extérieure de la grande mosquée de Bamako, la capitale du Mali, une femme en niqab noir fait la promotion post mortem de Kadhafi en trimbalant une imposante photo encadrée du «roi des rois traditionnels d’Afrique». «Même si on me propose 15.000 francs CFA (20€) je ne donne pas!» annonce-t-elle, exaltée. «Pourquoi on devrait être contre lui alors qu’il nous a fait que du bien?», demande-t-

Fall of Gaddafi opens a new era for the Sahara’s lost civilisation

The late Muammar Gaddafi was fond of insisting on the links between his republic and sub-Saharan Africa. He was less interested, however, in celebrating the black African civilisation that flourished for more than 1,500 years within what are now Libya’s borders, and that was barely acknowledged in the Gaddafi-era curriculum.
Now, however, researchers into the Garamantes – a “lost” Saharan civilisation that flourished long before the Islamic era – are hoping that Libya’s new government can restore the warrior culture, mentioned by Herodotus in his Histories, to its rightful place in Libya’s history.

No ‘major’ role for NATO in post-Qaddafi Libya, says alliance chief
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview with Al Arabiya broadcast Sunday that he didn’t foresee any “major” role for the alliance in post-conflict Libya but added that individual states could play a role with the new rulers in Tripoli with bilateral agreements.

“We have terminated our operations and I don’t foresee any major NATO role in the post-conflict period. Of course, individual allies and individual nations can assist the national transitional council if the council requests their assistance,” Rasmussen told Al Arabiya from Brussels.
The NATO chief said the alliance was concerned about reports that thousands of portable missiles had disappeared in Libyan arms depots and repeated calls for the National Transitional Council to prevent the spread of arms or their positional acquisition by terrorist groups like al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

“The United Nations Security Council has clearly stated that it is now the responsibility of the National Transitional Council to make sure that weapons are properly controlled and secured [so] I hope that the NTC will allow international inspectors to look closer into that,” Rasmussen said.

Regarding statements previously made by NTC head Mustafa Abdul Jalil that the Islamic Shariah law will be the new Libya’s source of legislation, the NATO chief said he was “confident that the NTC will remain committed to the basic principles of democracy and human rights, including women’s rights and the rights of minorities.

“Democracy is more than just the rule of the majority. True democracy is also respect for human rights, protection of minorities; it is pluralism. It is also the protection of women’s rights,” he said.

“We know from experience that societies that allow women to participate openly and actively in public life and in the labor market are flourishing countries while it hampers progress and development in a country if half of the population, the women, are excluded from the public life.

“I can’t stress enough how important it is to include women in the development of the new Libya, but again that is not NATO’s business.”

Libyan oil strike may be resolved
THE appointment of a new chairman at Libya’s Waha Oil may help end a strike at the country’s largest oil operation.
But it remained to be seen if the nomination would be accepted by the Transitional National Council (TNC), which has ruled Libya since the ousting of strongman Muammar Gaddafi. The council blocked an earlier attempt at a change in the company’s leadership.
In an interview, Omar Shakmak, the deputy in charge of oil at Libya’s oil and finance ministry, confirmed the appointment and acknowledged that “there was some disturbance over management” at Waha. He did not give the name of the proposed new chairman.

New Chairman May Pave Way To End Of Libya Oil Strike

LONDON (Dow Jones) A new chairman has been appointed for Libya’sWaha Oil Co., the deputy oil minister said Saturday, a move that may finally end a crippling strike at the North African country’s largest oil operation.
But it remains to be seen if the nomination will be accepted by the National Transitional Council, which has ruled Libya since the ouster of strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi. The council blocked an earlier attempt at a change in the company’s leadership.

In an interview, Omar Shakmak, the deputy in charge of oil at Libya’s oil and finance ministry, confirmed the appointment and acknowledged “there was some disturbance over management” at Waha. He did not give the name of the proposed new chairman.
Workers went on strike in September to protest the leadership of Waha’s Chairman Bashir Elashahab, who allegedly had ties to the Gadhafi regime. Ending the strike at Waha would lift a key hurdle to the resumption of Libyan oil production. Before Libya’s civil conflict, Waha produced more than 350,000 barrels of crude oil a day. Its partners are U.S. companies Marathon Oil Corp. ( MRO), ConocoPhillips (COP) and Hess Corp. (HES).
But a move last month by Oil and Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni to dismiss Elashahab was blocked by the NTC.
Waha further faces the challenge of restarting the war-damaged Es-Sider port, from which its oil is normally shipped to global markets. But National Oil Co.’s Chairman Nuri Berruien said this week he expected the facility could be repaired by early December.

LINTHICUM, Md. — An American writer who went missing in Libya for months returned to the United States on Saturday night, telling reporters he went to the north African nation to participate in the uprising against dictator Moammar Gadhafi and was on a reconnaissance mission when he was captured.
But Matthew VanDyke, 32, said his mother and girlfriend didn’t know when he set off from Baltimore for Libya that his goal was to support the revolution.
“You don’t tell your mother that you’re going to go fight in a war,” he said. “When I got out of (a Libyan) prison, I was going to finish what I came to do. So the past several weeks I’ve been in combat on the front lines in Sirte fighting Gadhafi’s forces.”

Mansour Daou is known as the “Black Box” of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime — like an aircraft’s data recorder, he knows some of Libya’s darkest secrets.
And as one of Gadhafi’s top security officials, who remained at his side until the final hours, Daou has a unique insight into the astonishing downfall of Africa’s longest-serving leader.
Now in an interview with CNN he describes how the dictator, who was once of the world’s most feared leaders, was forced to scavenge for food and hide in abandoned houses in the coastal city of Sirte.
“He was very worried and erratic — this could be because he was afraid,” Daou said.

What will happen to Libya now that Gaddafi is gone? After “aiding” the rebels and arming them, NATO pulled out immediately following the brutal death of Gaddafi. Now, Libya is left with no government, no protection, and groups of rebels with nothing to do.

Recent events in Libya should raise alarm bells about the threat to Africa’s hard won right to self-determination, former president Thabo Mbeki said on Saturday.

“I must state this categorically that those who have sought to manufacture a particular outcome out of the conflict in Libya have propagated a poisonous canard aimed at discrediting African and AU opposition to the Libyan debacle.”
He said this was done on the basis that the African Union and the rest of “us” had been “bought by Colonel Gadaffi with petro-dollars”, and felt obliged to defend his continued misrule.

This involved the warship enforcing the no-fly zone and conducting embargo operations to prevent arms reaching pro-Gaddafi forces by sea.
Mr Hammond is set to be on board the Type 42 destroyer as it returns to its home base of Portsmouth, Hampshire, having set sail in March.

Joy, grief and hope at Libya’s feast of sacrifice

Post-Gaddafi, Libyans sense both hope and anxiety during the Eid holiday, and insist politicians not squander war dead’s sacrifice.
MISRATA, Libya – Joy was tinged by past sadness, hope mingled with anxiety for the future as Libyans thronged their mosques at dawn on Sunday to celebrate one of the great festivals of the Muslim year, Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice.

Nowhere was the emotion and religious symbolism more acute than in Misrata. The city suffered heavy losses resisting a siege by the army of Muammar Gaddafi. Local forces, which took credit for last month’s capture of the ousted strongman that ended in his death, are pushing for a big say in the new Libya.

Men streamed away from dawn prayers at the imposing mosque in Misrata’s Zorugh neighborhood, preparing to feast on sheep slaughtered in a ritual inspired by Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to God.

We are happy," said Mohammed Bashir, a 40-year-old merchant in the prosperous suburb as he exchanged handshakes with friends and neighbours, all dressed in fresh robes and new clothes for Eid. “But we are crying for our children we lost in the war.”

“This Eid is different – we killed Gaddafi,” laughed Ali Sheikh, 86, his English spiced with a rich Texan drawl acquired over decades working for American firms drilling for Libyan oil.

“Now we’re all going home to kill our lambs. It’s gonna be OK. We can fix this country real fast.”

And it was here, in the tumultuous months of civil war, that the ragtag rebel forces established their provisional government and primitive, yet effective, media center from which to tell foreign journalists about their “fight for freedom.”

Rights to remain silent: US quiet on Libyan human rights

Libya’s post-Gaddafi world is showing a lurch towards radical Islam, with strict Sharia law and Al-Qaeda flags in evidence there. But are the US and NATO truly concerned about it?
Not so long ago, the US media presented Libyan rebels as freedom-loving folks, yearning for democracy.
After Gaddafi’s killing the narrative changed, with major news outlets raising questions about the atrocities committed by the rebels and their devotion to hardline Islam.
Sharia law, which is now being introduced in Libya, is considered to be, for the most part, incompatible with democratic values, especially when it comes to women’s rights.

NTC Frees Libyan Prisoners on Eid al-Adha
In Libya, the National Transitional Council is releasing hundreds of prisoners, many suspected Gaddafi loyalists, ahead of a major religious festival of Eid al-Adha. The four-day Islamic holiday known as the Festival of the Sacrifice that follows hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, and marks Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael.

But the NTC says it is still holding alleged foreign mercenaries from Chad, Niger and Mali, because they have yet to be brought before the courts.

Hundreds of prisoners, many of them suspected Al Qathafi loyalists and caught with the former Libyan leader’s forces on the final days of battle, were set free from several jails across Libya by the National Transitional Council on the occasion of the Muslim world’s major religious festival of

From the Misurata jail alone, some 200 priosners were rleased. Hundreds more were set free in other cities across the country to face a new Libya without the Libyan dictator. The prisoners told BBC they were treated well and nobody tried to beat them.

The freed prisoners were all Libyans, who either assisted or fought with the Al Qathafi forces. The Libyan authorities have said they are halso holding alleged mercenaries, African nationals. They say there are little signs that they intend to release them soon. The question of mercenaries is a very sensitve one.

Ibrahim Mohammed al Saksik, the deputy prison director said that other than Libyan they were holding prisoners from Chad, Niger and Mali. They are not being released but they still need to be processed by the courts.

Eid al-Adha is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep – to sacrifice instead. Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims.

NATO’s Noble Words Go for Naught
BERLIN — When the NATO secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, addressed a gathering of defense experts last month in Berlin, his speech was called “Principles and Power.”

Mr. Rasmussen’s argument was that the legitimacy of the NATO alliance rested on a unique combination of those two elements. “Our principles demand that we protect our populations and inspire those who desire freedom,” he said at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.
“And when the cause is just, and the legal basis strong, we can put power behind our principles to protect them. When we have the responsibility to take action, we also have the ability to take action. And when we have to act, we do.”

Martin: Only Libyan Interim Leaders can Determine Speed of Elections Timetable

(Ian Martin = head of the new United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL)).

Accelerating the election timetable in Libya depends on its interim leaders who are bound to make important political decisions said the UN Envoy to Libya early this
week.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Ian Martin said the coming vital elections timetable "is going to be quite difficult, but depends first and foremost on the speed with which they (interim leaders) can reach the political decisions.”

Echoing statements by members of various UN organizations who have been recently in libya assessing the political situation in the country, Martin said “we can’t determine" how or when these same interim leaders can reach those decisions.

Martin said other fundamental decisions, including on the preferred electoral system, have not yet been made.

The National Transitional Council (NTC) last week chose a new prime minister, Abdurrahim el-Keib, who is to form a transitional government by mid-month.

The Executive Council which was formed in February which was led by Mahmoud Jibril had failed to meet the expectations of the Libyan people both at the transparency level and at the level of accomplishing of important tasks.

El-Keib would need to pick qualified and hard working ministers who can work with him on the reconstruction of the political scene and prepare for sound elections. Libyans have not had practiced elections for the last 42 years under the oppressive dictatorship of Gaddafi.

Martin is worried about weapons depots in Libya that have still not been secured properly, and “much has already gone missing” from unguarded sites.

“Over time, the international community can assist Libya and its neighbors to secure these weapons, but I am afraid there is not a quick and easy solution to that problem,” Martin told the AP.
Underling the importance of the problem, Martin said the unsecured weapons remain a “very, very serious cause for concern.” He said they include shoulder-held missiles, mines and ammunition.

“It’s clear that much has already gone missing from unsecured locations and that there are still locations which have not been properly secured,” he said.

Libyan officials said last week that they had discovered two new sites with chemical weapons that had not been declared by Gaddafi regime when it announced it stopped pursuing non-conventional weapons in December 2003. The officials also said that they found around 7,000 drums of raw uranium.

But Martin said the latest discoveries have been secured and what remains is how to dispose of them.

In September 19, Ian Martin, a human rights activist, was chosen by the UN to head the new United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Libya with objective to help Libya with the transition to democracy.

The UN also appointed Finland’s Georg Charpentier , an expert on Africa, as Martin’s deputy.

The Arab Spring, chronicled Tweet by Tweet

Social media powered up the Arab Spring and has created a new space for how history will remember its events.

Every revolution has multiple narratives – from city blocks to city halls, from the streets and from the state But what tends to survive is the official version – often shaped by whatever state or government either survives or is formed after the dust has settled.
Even though the shape of things to come remains quite blurry in Tunisia, Egypt and Syria, it’s far too soon to tell what the power structures will in fact look like, what level of reform they deliver and if those reforms will satisfy the cries of those who took to the streets calling for change.
One thing, however, is clear: The recollection of these revolutions, uprisings or periods of unrest (call them what you will) will not be left to official, state records – they have already been chronicled, largely by the people themselves.
This might well be the first time that people living under autocratic rule have managed to document their struggles and movement on almost the most micro level imaginable, leaving a long digital trail of Tweets, Facebook posts, Audioboo recordings, YouTube videos, blogs and so much more.

Five of the Arab Spring’s most influential Tweeters on the post 9/11 world

The revolutions themselves have complex roots, nourished by decades-long grievances ranging from economic stagnation to political repression. But the protests themselves were mobilized by a savvy group of young activists who used Twitter as a tool to both inspire and reflect the Arab street. While none consider themselves to be revolutionary leaders – many balk at the suggestion – their young voices have emerged as prominent fixtures of the uprisings. We asked five for their views on politics, religion and economics in the new Middle East.

Dirty money

Why does the international banking system make it so easy for corruption to flourish?

The recent uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa have revolved around one common theme – a popular desire for freedom from repression.
But there has often been an economic undercurrent too. The lavish lifestyles enjoyed by dictators have fuelled widespread anger at the way national assets have been looted for the benefit of the few.
So what happens to all this wealth once it is spirited out of the country? Can it ever be recovered? And why does the international banking system make it so easy for corruption to flourish?

We asked veteran financial journalist, Steve Levinson, to look for answers.

La révolution en Libye a transformé de jeunes chômeurs sans avenir en héros bons à marier.
JANZOUR, Libye – Côté vie amoureuse, la Libye de Mouammar Kadhafi n’était pas une sinécure pour Ahmed Nori Faqiar, chauffeur de camion célibataire de 33 ans. Si ses parents avaient pu lui payer le dentiste, cela n’aurait pas nui à son aspect physique. Le manque de ressources l’a forcé à vivre dans la maison de son enfance jusqu’à l’âge adulte. Un mariage, un foyer à lui, des enfants —cela faisait bien longtemps que ce Libyen maigre et nerveux s’était endurci pour arrêter d’y croire.

Gaddafi gave terrorist $28 Million for attacks- Libyan Official
Cairo, Asharq Al-Awsat- Dr Ibrahim Quwaydir, a Libyan official who previously held the post of secretary general of the Arab Labor Organization, has revealed that approximately 148 of the late Muammar Gaddafi’s senior loyalists are in Egypt and can engage in clandestine political action against the Libyan revolution. This is particularly possible, he said, because, according to available information, it was highly likely that they were in possession of $10 billion of Libyan funds. Quwaydir said that before his death, the late Col Muammar Gaddafi earmarked $28 million to a group of terrorists to carry out assassinations in Libya and abroad under the motto of “revenge after the fall of the regime.”
Quwaydir called on the Libyan people to adopt the slogan “the people’s legitimacy” instead of the “revolution’s legitimacy,” noting that the revolution’s legitimacy slogan was a ploy through which Gaddafi ruled Libya for 42 years. We do not want to hear that slogan again. He played down the danger of Islamists and tribalism in the political process.
In reply to a question by Asharq Al-Awsat before leaving Cairo for Libya this week, on whether there was still fear of Gaddafi’s loyalists carrying out attacks against the revolution, Dr Quwaydir said: “Fear of Gaddafi’s loyalists still stands.” He added that 148 senior loyalists of Gaddafi live in Egypt. They fled Libya when they sensed that the fall of the Libyan regime was imminent. He added: “Those loyalists may cause disturbances in Libya in view of Egypt’s proximity to Libya. So we must watch them.” He called for further security coordination between Libya and Egypt and for stopping any secret political activity against the Libyan revolution.

Quwaydir said that the wealth of Gaddafi’s senior loyalists in Egypt was estimated at approximately $10 billion, noting that these funds belonged to the Libyan people. He proposed establishing a joint defense committee of Libyans and Egyptians to file suits against Gaddafi’s loyalists in Libya and Egypt to restore the Libyan people’s funds.
Asked if Gaddafi’s loyalists in Libya or abroad could cause disturbances to the Libyan revolution or the new government, Dr Quwaydir said: "We do not rule out the possibility of those loyalists causing disturbances in Libya. We have to recall in this regard that Gaddafi held a meeting at Al-Aziziyah stronghold in Tripoli about six months ago. International terrorists affiliated with what was known in Gaddafi’s era as the “International Gathering” attended that meeting in which Gaddafi put forward a plan under the name of “revenge after the fall of the regime.” He earmarked $28 million to implement that plan, which envisioned carrying out bombings in Libyan cities as well as in the Arab and European cities that supported the 17 February uprising.
Quwaydir adds that establishing security in Libya is “very important at this time, and some may think that achieving security is difficult, particularly protecting the border because Libya is a very large country.” He added that the agreement with Libya’s friends at the conference recently held in Qatar was sound. He said: “It is inevitable to reinforce the new security apparatus in Libya and supply it with the most advanced technologic means to safeguard security and the homeland until the new Libyan authorities can ensure internal security.”
Quwaydir’s name was among four others as candidates for the post of prime minister before the Transitional National Council last week entrusted Abdel Rahim al-Kib with forming a government. Quwaydir said that he “fully believed that the new government should not include ministers who served in Gaddafi’s regime even if they took side with the revolution from the start. This will ensure that the Libyans will not have to face what happened in Tunisia and Egypt.”
Quwaydir called on the new Libyan government to place several priorities on its agenda, including security, training border guards, tending to the families of the martyrs and wounded, “particularly because a large number of the injured are limbless.” He said that the government should be “trusted” as this would assure the people that there were new faces in the government capable of orchestrating the transitional process without having to repeat the Egyptian and Tunisian experiences, where a number of ministers of the former regimes were kept in the governments.
Discussing the problem of the revolutionary brigades and the proliferation of arms in Libya, Quwaydir said that no one could deny that the efforts made by the revolutionaries complemented the people’s revolution. He added that it was easy to solve this problem, proposing to the new rulers to give the revolutionaries an opportunity to have a say in the formation of the Defense Ministry. He added: “I propose holding a meeting with the chairmen of the military councils in Libya so they can choose a defense minister and his deputies.”

The guns of Libya
Muammar Gaddafi is dead and Libya is free, but it seems unlikely that this country can return to normal anytime soon. Heavily armed militias continue to operate semi-autonomously and guns are everywhere. The war has made thousands of young men — engineering students, day labourers, mechanics — into conquerors. They will have a difficult time returning to their previous lives. Collecting arms and keeping the swaggering young fighters under control presents a daunting challenge to a fledgling government.

suit le dossier.

Chargées d’épauler les rebelles, les troupes de Doha se sont d’abord déployés à Tobrouk puis ensuite à l’ouest dans le djebel Nefoussa, où le chef d’état-major qatarien, le général Hamad ben Ali al-Attyiah (en photo ci-dessus) s’est rendu à plusieurs reprises. A titre de comparaison, la France avait infiltré seulement quelques dizaines de commandos issus des Forces spéciales.

Satellites reveal lost cities in Libya

Satellite imagery has revealed evidence of a lost Saharan civilisation in Libya’s south-western desert.
With the fall of Gaddafi opening the way for archaeologists to explore the country’s pre-Islamic heritage, a British team has discovered more than 100 fortified farms and villages with castle-like structures and several towns, most dating from between AD 1 and 500.
The cities were built by a little-known ancient civilisation called the Garamantes, who turn out to be far more advanced and historically significant than ancient sources suggested.
The University of Leicester team has identified the mud brick remains of castle-like complexes, with walls still standing up to four metres high. They’ve also found traces of dwellings, cairn cemeteries, associated field systems, wells and sophisticated irrigation systems.
“These settlements had been unremarked and unrecorded under the Gaddafi regime,” says project leader David Mattingly.

With the euro zone seemingly running out of friends, it may be time to get more creative about where the bloc finds fresh funds.

China, previously seen as most likely to stump up, has complained about lack of detail about how to leverage the fund.
But Middle East countries that could afford to chip in include not just the Gulf economies, but oil producers Libya and Algeria, according to Stephen Murphy, a managing director at Egyptian private equity firm Citadel Capital.

Libya is hoping to put its darkest times behind it. This week the NATO operation which helped overthrow the regime of Muammar Gaddafi officially ended and Libya now has an interim government. But amidst all the ‘congratulatory backslapping’ at NATO, some are still wondering why NATO intervened so decisively in Libya, but refuses to do so in Syria.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretary general, speaks about the successful intervention in Libya and why NATO has no intention to intervene in Syria.
“The conditions for such an operation are not fulfilled, there is no United Nations mandate to protect the civilian population, there is no support from the region, and I think Libya and Syria are two different cases. I strongly condemn the security forces crackdown on the civilian population in Syria and I urge the political leadership in Syria

to listen to the people to introduce democracy, and I also think it could facilitate such a process if the Arab League, if countries in the region put a maximum of pressure on the Syrian leadership."

HMS Liverpool homecoming marks end of UK action to protect Libyan civilians

The return home of one of Britain’s longest serving warships has brought to an end the UK’s involvement in the military campaign to protect civilians during the revolution in Libya.
The destroyer HMS Liverpool sailed into Portsmouth after seven months deployed in the Mediterranean, firing a 15-gun salute to a crowd of more than 1,000 that had gathered on the seawalls to cheer it back into port.
Though the ship is more than 30 years old, the type-42 destroyer had never fired its guns in anger before being sent to the Libyan coast, where it helped to enforce the no-fly zone and the arms embargo.
The campaign also marked the first time a Royal Navy vessel was fired upon since the Falklands conflict.

En plus de tous ses avions de combat disponibles, son porte-avions, ses deux bâtiments de commandement porte-hélicoptères et ses forces spéciales au sol.
Les SNA ont été engagés durant huit mois, soit avant le feu vert de l’ONU pour l’intervention aérienne. Le premier est parti dès la fin février collecter le renseignement préalable à la décision de lancer les premières frappes sur les colonnes kadhafistes à Benghazi, le 19 mars.

The decline of British human rights

As Libya cried “liberation!” and captured its dictator, as Tunisia held its exemplary democratic elections, and as Syria and Yemen fight on relentlessly, we are living in captivating times. After seeing millions of people creating their own freedom, I have regained my faith in humanity. Viewed through the lens of human rights, there are

generations who have been subject to totalitarianism, torture and enslavement by their dictators, with repressed civic and political aspiration – who now have broken free, against all odds.
In a world more interconnected than ever, the breeze of freedom has crossed continents – outside St Paul’s Occupy LSX is posted a sign: “Tahrir Square, City of London.” Yet, as I discuss freedom with my North African democracy-longing peers, doubts emerge. Can contemporary British democracy lay claim to any moral superiority, given its recent record? Does anybody care, anyway? As many are entranced by the transitional rebalancing of human rights abroad in countries such as Tunisia, it is all too easy to assume that all is well at home. Awkwardly, it is not – the

past decade has seen the depressing opposite in Britain.

We are learning month-by-month about our political elite’s complicity in torture since 9/11 – awkwardly for the former Labour government, those tortured, such as Abdul Hakim Belhaj, were instrumental for the liberation of a nation, and a further case of secret rendition that alleges the kidnap of an innocent detainee with British ministerial authorisation (an admission from our very own security services) utterly beggars belief. Since July 7, 2005, we have witnessed spying on innocent students and minorities targeted for their ethnicity by stop-and-search laws. That, since 2005, we risk imprisonment for protesting outside parliament without gaining prior police permission is laughable in comparison with the hundreds of thousands who marched on their political centres.

Libya will wait until a new government is in place before pushing for the release of more Libyan assets frozen abroad, an official with the country’s stabilization group said.
“We are in a comfortable financial situation for the next nine months, so we decided it’s best to wait” until Libya regains political stability, Wafik Shater, head of financial affairs for the group, said in an interview in Dubai.

Libya: Many IDPs return but concerns persist for certain displaced groups
The armed conflict in Libya, which has led to the end of the 41-year rule of Muammar Qadhafi, has caused several waves of internal displacement. The repeated advances and retreats of both pro-Qadhafi and opposition forces left cities and villages deserted, with civilians increasingly bearing the impact of the combat. The death of Qadhafi in late October enabled Libya to enter a new phase of political reconstruction.

The total number of internally displaced people (IDPs) in late October was still uncertain. In late September, between 100,000 and 150,000 people were believed to be internally displaced. However, the fluidity of the situation, the limited access to areas of fighting and to in-country information sources, and the lack of comprehensive monitoring of IDP movements have made information difficult to verify.

Royal Navy engineer relives coming under fire in Libya

A sailor from Hampshire who was serving on board a warship in Libya has told of his

fear when his vessel was fired upon.
HMS Liverpool has just returned to Portsmouth from the Mediterranean where it became the first Royal Navy ship to come under fire since the Falklands conflict in 1982.
Marine engineer Daniel Smowton, who is from Southampton, said: "I was scared the first time we were fired upon because I didn’t know where the missile would land and I remember thinking it could hit where I was down in the steering gear compartment.

“Thankfully it missed.”

In Libya, Often It’s Young Men Who Don’t Want Women Empowered
Mustafa Abdul Jalil’s liberation speech on Oct. 23 raised eyebrows in the west with his comments that Sharia law would be the basis for a new Libya’s legislation and that polygamy would therefore be allowed.

What do Libyans say?
Hatam, a dentist in his late 20s, has also been working as a translator for some western journalists.

Hatam complained that one of the things Moammar Gadhafi did was to try to “make women powerful and equal to men.” He said that was wrong, and people would not accept that. “Men wear the trousers,” he said with a confident smile.

Several other young men, who all looked like they could be standing in line at a club in London or Paris, all said similar things — that men run the show and women take a back seat.

But men in their 50s and 60s like Bey and other elites have argued that women need

to play a larger role in the political future of Libya.

Sharia in Libya: Implications for Human Rights and the Rule of Law
After the long awaited capture and controversial killing of Muammar Gaddafi, Chairman Mustafa Abdul-Jalil of the National Transitional Council (NTC) declared national liberation in Benghazi on Sunday October 23, 2011. An important part of this statement, which has continued to stir controversy among political analysts and human rights activists across the world, is the announcement that Sharia will prevail in the liberated Libya.

Travellers allegedly rob €200k of CIA money that spook gave Libyan rebel living in Ireland.

According to police sources a well known gang of Irish travellers are in the middle of a holy war – after liberating €200,000 cash destined for Libyan ‘rebels.’ In a tale worthy of the John le Carre thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the travelers are said to have hit the jackpot when they robbed a home in Dublin’s Firhouse.

As well as a haul of family jewels, they stumbled upon €200,000 in €500 bills hidden in the hot press. But the homeowner was well-known Irish Libyan ‘freedom fighter’ Mahdi al-Harati, who was one of the leaders of the bloody revolt against Gaddafi.

Ancient Libyan civilisation arouses interest
Muammar Gaddafi was fond of insisting on the links between his republic and sub-Saharan Africa. He was less interested, however, in celebrating the black African civilisation that flourished for more than 1,500 years within what are now Libya’s borders, and that was barely acknowledged in the Gaddafi-era curriculum.

Now, however, researchers into the Garamantes – a “lost” Saharan civilisation – are hoping that Libya’s new government can restore the warrior culture, mentioned by Herodotus in his Histories, to its rightful place in Libya’s history.

It has been prompted by new research – including through the use of satellite imaging – which suggests that the Garamantes built more extensively and spread their culture more widely than previously thought.
The research has confirmed the view of Herodotus that the Garmantes were a “very great nation”.
Describing the recent finds as “extraordinary” in a paper, Professor David Mattingly of the University of Leicester argues that the discoveries demonstrate that substantial trade across the Sahara long pre-dated the Islamic era.

Castles of ‘lost cities’ revealed in Libyan desert
New evidence of a lost civilization in an area of the Sahara in Libya has emerged from images taken by satellites.
“It is like someone coming to England and suddenly discovering all the medieval castles. These settlements had been unremarked and unrecorded under the (Moammar) Gadhafi regime,” said project leader David Mattingly, professor of Roman archaeology at the university. The fall of the regime has opened up Libya to more exploration by archaeologists of its pre-Islamic heritage.
These “lost cities” were built by a little-known ancient civilization called the Garamantes, whose lifestyle and culture was far more advanced and historically significant than ancient sources had suggested.

Explain like a kid
Why Gaddafi was killed.
Gaddafi was the ruler of Libya. The people didn’t vote him to be leader, he took over by intimidation. When he was the leader, he was very very mean to anyone who didn’t want him to be the ruler. He even killed people who weren’t on his side, like protesters! Also, as the ruler of Libya, Gaddafi was in control of the oil exported from the country and he made a lot of money selling it. However, he didn’t share this large wealth with the people of Libya, even though many of them were very poor. All of these things made people very angry, and they wanted to make him pay for killing the protesters and keeping all the oil money for himself and his family, so they became violent and killed him.

They were also determined to behave according to the principle and practice that “might is right” and to sideline the principle of self-determination.

Lessons from Libya: A Crash Course in Idealism

Great change is in the cards for Libya in the wake of the eight-month Libyan Civil War, which culminated in the death of Muammar al-Qaddafi and the end of his forty-plus-years dictatorial reign on October 20. Many questions still remain about the conflict itself and where the Libyan people are to navigate from here on.
Despite the obvious absence of Qaddafi as a direct threat to the Libyan people, it does not necessarily indicate that Qaddafi as a leader is now out of the minds of the majority of the population. Pro-Qaddafi loyalists still exist in Libya and in bordering states and threaten Libya’s quest for stability. Though it is hard to imagine that this threat is long-term, it must be noted that continued fighting will make it much harder for Libyan leaders to establish peace and maintain order, especially considering that even without Qaddafi loyalists, Libya is a highly factionalized state.

Polygamy in Libya

Leader’s remarks anger women, concern allies

A Libyan leader’s reference to marriage in a recent speech has disturbed women in that country as well as human rights officials.
In a speech declaring the success of the Libyan revolution, interim leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil called for a more pious nation and a stronger focus on Islamic law. He also seemed to invite unrestricted polygamy.
Mr. Abdul-Jalil suggested that a law restricting polygamy would be abolished. The law, passed during the reign of Moammar Gadhafi, allowed polygamy only if the first wife agreed to it. That kept the practice rare.
Yet Mr. Abdul-Jalil’s point was that Islamic law, Shariah, “allows polygamy.” Therefore, he said, “This law is contrary to Shariah and must be stopped.”

Secretary Clinton Delivers Keynote at National Democratic Institute’s 2011 Democracy Awards Dinner

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered keynote remarks at the National Democratic Institute’s Democracy Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., on November 7, 2011. During the event, Secretary Clinton said:

“…What a year 2011 has been for freedom in the Middle East and North Africa. We have seen what may well have been the first Arab revolution for democracy, then the second, then the third. And in Yemen, people are demanding a transition to democracy that they deserve to see delivered. And Syrians are refusing to relent until they, too, can decide their own future.

Now, in Tunis, Cairo, and a newly free Tripoli, I have met people lifted by a sense that their futures actually do belong to them. In my travels across the region, I have heard joy, purpose, and newfound pride.

The White House
Readout of the President’s Meeting with NATO Secretary General Rasmussen

The President welcomed NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to the Oval Office earlier today. The President thanked the Secretary General for his strong and effective leadership during NATO’s seven month operation in Libya, Operation

Unified Protector. The President and the Secretary General agreed that by acting quickly and decisively NATO saved the lives of thousands of Libyan civilians. The President and the Secretary General also discussed goals for the May 20-21 NATO Summit, which the President will host in Chicago, including taking further steps to ensure that NATO has the defense
capabilities it needs to meet 21st century security threats. They agreed that the Chicago Summit should seek to further broaden and deepen NATO’s relationships with non-NATO partner nations. Additionally, the President and the Secretary General discussed the important progress made by the NATO-led ISAF mission in Afghanistan, and how the Chicago Summit might shape the next major phase of transition in Afghanistan, consistent with the Lisbon Summit goals and the President’s June 22 speech on Afghanistan.

Internet Misrata, #Libie steeds slower. Nu 19 minuten voor download 1.7mb. Maar er is wel genoeg eten, vrede, winkels vol – ook belangrijk

slecht nieuws = nieuws, goed nieuws= geen nieuws. En zo hoort het ook!!! :)

Ok, in NL kent niemand dit verhaal, maar zeer interessant: In 1978 verdween leider van Libanese shiieten in Libie na ontmoeting met Kadafi

Libanon woedend na verdwijning imam, die Musa Sadr heet. in 1978 verbrak Libanon diplomatieke betrekkingen met Libie, ruzie duurt tot heden

Khadafi heeft altijd ontkend iets te maken te hebben met verdwijning van Musa Sadr, beweerde dat Sadr vliegtuig had genomen naar Italie

Nu komt het – Ik was erbij toen Kadafi topman aan @jenanmoussa vertelde wie Musa Sadr vermoordde. Met Eng vertaling: akhbar.alaan.tv/video/world-news/Gaddaf...

Kadafi topman is Ahmad Ramadan, wordt op geheime plek Libie vastgehouden. Mooi dat er na 33 jaar nu dan schot zit in zaak Musa Sadr

Ramadan bevindt zich in handen rebellen. Ontmoeting op geheime plek was spannend. Telefoontjes,nerveuze rebellen, gordijnen dicht,alles snel

precies, zoooo getekend. 40 jaar rechterhand khadaffi en dan alles afgelopen in 1 dag…

gevolg van 40 jaar absolute macht en dan binnen een dag alles verliezen. denk soort van fysiek reactie op persoonlijk drama

echt, de gasten die in dit interview worden genoemd hebben hem gedood na ontmoeting met Khadaffi

Hier wiki van zaak-Musa Sadr, zou zich goed lenen voor film script: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_al-Sadrb

Iraanse filmmaker blijkt al bezig met verfilmen van leven Musa Sadr: via @Mariquon: edition.presstv.ir/detail/55254.html

Interview over Musa Sadr staat nu ook op youtube, incl engelse ondertiteling: http://www.youtube.com/user/alaantube#p/u/7/jkPpH6kXh_4

Gaddafi gave terrorist $28 Million for attacks- Libyan Official

who previously held the post of secretary general of the Arab Labor Organization, has revealed that approximately 148 of the late Muammar Gaddafi’s senior loyalists are in Egypt and can engage in clandestine political action against the Libyan revolution. This is particularly possible, he said, because, according to available information, it was highly likely that they were in possession of $10 billion of Libyan funds. Quwaydir said that before his death, the late Col Muammar Gaddafi earmarked $28 million to a group of terrorists to carry out assassinations in Libya and abroad under the motto of “revenge after the fall of the regime.”

Three questions on Libya

A six month NATO-aided rebellion in Libya has advanced on the capital, Tripoli, in an effort to oust 42-year leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, comments on three key issues.
What’s next for Libya and the national council?

You mentioned Egypt and Tunisia. What do the Libyan developments mean for the

Arab Spring?

What about the Western powers – notably France, Britain and the US – where does the ‘success’ in Libya take them?

What I Lost in Libya
While covering the Libyan civil war, the author was seized by Muammar Qaddafi’s forces and held in captivity with two colleagues; a third was killed. This is the story of how an academic found herself imprisoned in Tripoli.

Tuesday, April 5, started off as an exceptionally successful day. We had located the ever-changing front line of the Libyan civil war, a conflict we had come from all over the world to cover. Before the day was over, it would be exceptional in another way entirely—brutal, heartbreaking—as our initial success made us forget the cardinal rule of war reportage: don’t die.

RT
Will NATO remain after Libyan war?
Russian political scientist Igor Panarin believes that the Libyan campaign, which ended October 31, demonstrated the weakness of NATO and revealed the military bloc’s potential to collapse. In his article for RT, the analyst explains his view.
Will NATO still be there in 2016? Seems like a stupid question at first. Nothing is threatening NATO and nobody is questioning the bloc’s further existence. That, however, is just the first impression…
Driving up to the NATO campus in the outskirts of Brussels for the first time, I was slightly surprised to find that the image created over decades of zealous propaganda differed quite a lot from the real picture. In real life, this set of gray, drab-looking, totally identical buildings is puzzling at best. Are we looking at a ‘paper tiger’, whose might has been overblown by the global media? Is it just that 5 thousand NATO bureaucrats simply need to make a living… and to justify their existence? Besides, they must like living in Brussels as well.

FP
Black Flag
A mysterious Islamist banner has been popping up across the Middle East, from Benghazi to Lebanon. Is it a simply a sign of faith or the battle flag of al Qaeda?

Recent days have seen a spate of stories about a mysterious flag appearing in Benghazi, Libya: a black banner that reads “No god but God” in distinctive white lettering with what could be a reproduction of the Prophet Mohammad’s seal underneath.

Many supporters of al Qaeda have adopted the ISI’s flag as their own and use it as an emblem for the wider jihadi movement. Its appearance in Benghazi certainly raises questions about the sympathies of some within the movement that ousted Muammar

al-Qaddafi, adding to widespread reports of fighters sympathetic to al Qaeda among the rebels.
Nevertheless, the appearance of the flag in other Arab countries is not necessarily evidence of growing support for al Qaeda or terrorist group’s presence. It could just as easily be youth taking advantage of their newfound freedom to scare their elders, or repressed Salafis using the most shocking symbol possible to voice their anger in public

FACTBOX-Arab Spring momentum in Middle East, North Africa
The National Transitional Council (NTC) is struggling to deal with some of the country’s more remote areas such as the restive town of Sabha following the death of

Muammar Gaddafi.
However, Gaddafi loyalists have little hope of reinstalling the dictator’s regime, with his armed forces crushed and his family in exile or dead.
Gaddafi and his son Mo’tassim were buried in a secret desert location on Oct. 25, five days after the deposed Libyan leader was captured, killed and his body put on public display.
Gaddafi’s death allowed the NTC to declare Libya’s “liberation” on Oct. 23 and meant an end to eight months of war.

He gave no explanation for the decision, Mahmudi’s legal team said.
During the hearing, dozens of Libyans rallied outside the courthouse demanding the extradition of the man they called the “third tyrant of Libya” after fallen strongman Moammar Gadhafi and his son Seif al-Islam.

Economist
Problems from hell, solutions from purgatory
MICHAEL BERUBE has a piece up analysing the attitudes of those on the American left who bitterly attacked the Obama administration’s participation in the NATO military

intervention in Libya. It may seem hardly worth addressing the issue, since the truly anti-interventionist left is a small minority with virtually no access to or influence on the making of American foreign policy. Nevertheless, it is disappointing that a segment of America’s left has reacted with such vituperative bile to the US involvement in Libya.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will keep production levels stable into early 2012 as some members cut supplies to accommodate the return of exports from Libya, its Secretary-General said.
Nations have reduced output and will continue to do so as Libya boosts crude output to 800,000 barrels a day by the end of the year, from 530,000 a day currently, Abdalla el-Badri said today in an interview in Vienna. OPEC, responsible for about 40 percent of global oil output, will probably keep pumping about 30 million barrels a day for the rest of this year and several months of 2012, he said.

Tunisia approves extradition of Libya’s ex-PM

Court rules Baghdadi al-Mahmudi, Gaddafi’s prime minister until fall of Tripoli, should be handed to Libyan authorities.
A Tunis appeals court has approved a request by the new Libyan authorities for the extradition of the country’s former prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmudi, according to court officials.
Mahmudi, who was former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s prime minister until the fall of Tripoli in August, had been held in Tunisia since September following his arrest near the Algerian border.
Mahmudi and human rights groups including Amnesty International had expressed concerns that the 70-year-old risked being subject to “serious human rights violations” if he was returned to Libya.
During the hearing, dozens of Libyans rallied outside the courthouse demanding the extradition of the man they called the “third tyrant of Libya” after Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam.

New Libya faces mountain of grievances
Moammar Gadhafi’s intelligence service killed Nadia Seif’s husband for plotting to assassinate the dictator, seized her villa, then held her for seven months in a tiny cell where she says she was raped twice by a guard.
The 59-year-old and others brutalized by Gadhafi’s regime now demand that their tormentors be put on trial, but swift justice seems unlikely. Libya has just emerged from a traumatic civil war that piled new grievances onto the old ones of nearly 42 years of Gadhafi rule. Tens of thousands have been killed, wounded and displaced in eight months of fighting that ended with the tyrant’s capture and death in late October.

Libya mission ends, Airmen come home
11/8/2011 – MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. (AFNS) — Airmen from the 22nd Air Refueling Wing here are returning home from Operation Unified Protector with more than 3,000 sorties and 29,170 hours flown.
In March 2011, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 established a no-fly zone and NATO forces conducted ground strikes in coordination with rebel advances.

Air Mobility Command officials deployed 400 Airmen with nearly 75 percent of those being guardsmen and reservists.

Arms control in Libya

More than two months after the fall of Tripoli, Libya’s new leaders are still struggling to secure massive weapons depots, stop the smuggling of munitions out of the country and disarm thousands of fighters who brought down Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.
The international community has offered to help, but also expects Libyans to step up.
However, the interim leadership – in limbo until the formation of a new government mid-month – may not be up to the task. Libya’s temporary leader, responding to increasingly urgent international appeals, said he can’t do much because he lacks the funds.

I was contacted today by the son of Taha Ben Amer, one of three men accused by Ramadan as responsible for death of Moussa Sadr. #libya (1/4)

Meeting in #tripoli w/revolutionary fighter- he ordered green tea but called it liberation tea. 1 of best post-rev lines I’ve heard. #libya

Son claims father Taha Ben Amer had nothing 2 do with killing Moussa Sadr because “my father died 5 months b4 disappearance of Sadr.” (2/4)

I spoke again 2 Ramadan, asked about death of Taha Ben Amer. Ramadan said: “I’m sure, saw it with my own eyes & have documents 2 prove it."

These are words of top #Gaddafi aide,not mine. I’m looking for men & families Ramadan mentioned & would be happy to listen to their account.

My mom says there are 8 lanes of cars waiting to get through Ras Jdeir… it’s almost midnight and there are no rest rooms around! :(

Op Ed: R2P , RIP

The decision by the U.N. Security Council and NATO to end military operations in Libya on Oct. 31 concludes what appears to be the most successful foreign humanitarian intervention since the quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq soured much of the Western public on such undertakings. At first glance, the intervention in Libya looks like a textbook case of how the new U.N. doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) was supposed to work. The doctrine’s supporters had hoped that it would codify the obligations of outside powers to intervene — through nonmilitary means whenever possible, but with lethal force if necessary — when a tyrannical regime threatens to slaughter its own people.
