David Cameron on military chiefs who question length of Libya mission: “There are times I think: ‘You do the fighting, I’ll do the talking’”

AJE:
NATO said it has lost an unmanned helicopter drone over Libya but denied a Libyan state television report that it was a manned Apache aircraft

A NATO statement said the “unmanned autonomous helicopter drone” was on a intelligence surveillance mission over Libya and lost contact with its command centre.

“We are looking into the reasons behind the incident,” NATO military spokesman Wing Commander Mike Bracken said in the statement

He denied a Libyan state television report that a NATO Apache attack helicopter came down over Libya. “NATO confirms it has not lost any attack helicopter,” he said.

NATO officials declined to identify the nationality or type of the aircraft, but NATO sources said the alliance has been operating the MQ-8 Fire Scout helicopter drone, made by U.S. firm Northrop Grumman , over Libya.

The aircraft is the first reported lost by NATO over Libya since took over the air strike mission on March 31.

A US F-15E fighter jet taking part in pre-NATO-led strikes on Libya by a Western coalition crashed in March. Its crew ejected safely and the United States blamed a mechanical failure for the crash.

China welcomes Libyan opposition leader – San Jose Mercury News j.mp/juHARr #libya #feb17
www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18...

BEIJING—Engaging Libya’s powerful opposition will be important in resolving the crisis in the North African country, China said Tuesday, underscoring Beijing’s growing role as mediator and delivering another setback to dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks as Libyan rebel leader Mahmoud Jibril began a two-day visit to Beijing.
Jibril chairs the executive board of the Transitional National Council, the umbrella organization of rebel groups trying to unseat Gadhafi.
China stayed on the sidelines for months after the revolt against Gadhafi’s government erupted in mid-February, but has recently stepped up efforts to promote a settlement.
Hong said the council had “already become an important political power in Libya,” and that China was poised to engage with it and “other relevant parties” to help find a political solution to the crisis.
Hong said China had no agenda in the dispute, and was supporting the efforts of others, such as the African Union, in resolving it.

FEATURE-Children in Libya’s rebel east await end of war
June 21, 2011
Posted in News, Week Commencing: June 20 | 11:23

• With schools still closed, children wander streets
• University to remain shut until Gaddafi goes
• Teachers unpaid, rebels say school books need rewrite
  BENGHAZI, Libya, June 21 (Reuters) – Ruwid Omar, a Libyan boy with a mop of sun-kissed hair, spends his days roaming the streets of Benghazi singing rebel songs, waving opposition flags and chatting to foreign visitors in fluent English.
  “I lived in Manchester for eight years with my parents before. But I like Benghazi better actually,” he said, squinting in the bright sun outside Benghazi’s courthouse building — a symbol of Libya’s revolt against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
  “I like the revolution. We are here (in the square) all day or at home watching TV,” added the 14-year-old.
  Schools have been closed in Libya’s rebel-held east since the start of the uprising in February, and children like Ruwid have been largely left to their own devices.
  Keen to distract students from a deadlocked war, the rebel leadership based in the sprawling coastal city wants to reopen schools and universities as soon as possible.
  But that is proving hard. Security remains a concern in a city awash with firearms, and rebel leaders have given no firm timeline as to when education might resume.
  Before, the curriculum was packed with classes praising “our dear Brother Leader”. Pupils spent hours studying the Green Book, a collection of Gaddafi’s ramblings on life and politics.
  Schools were designed in a way that discouraged children and teachers from asking questions and challenging authority.
  Rebels want to change that, even though weeding out Gaddafi sayings from textbooks and reshaping the curriculum will take time. Retraining teachers, long used to following orders rather than their professional instincts, is also tough.
  “We hope to reopen them soon,” rebel education minister Suleiman al-Sahli told Reuters. “We are still discussing this.”
  Restarting schools and universities will highlight the rebel authority’s resolve to bring back normality to a city scarred by fighting. But teachers said they did not expect that to happen any time soon as the war drags on listlessly into a fifth month.
  “We cannot start our studies until the (Gaddafi) regime collapses completely,” said Dr Bubaker F. Shareia, executive general director of Benghazi’s Garyounis University. “No one knows when this will happen.”

SHABAB:
“RAISE YOUR HEADS”
Some Benghazi schools have opened unofficially — part of a broader grassroots movement that has seen volunteers set up civilian committees to tackle issues from security to education in a city prey to lawlessness and sporadic violence.
At the Fatma az-Zahra school, volunteers gather pupils several times a week to explain to them what is happening in their home city, and teach some basic lessons.
Sitting in the shade of the school’s patio festooned with rebel flags, children chanted “We are Libyans, raise your heads, be proud” and “Muammar, you will see what we can do to you”.
Their voices echoed around the school’s empty corridors. In one classroom, an English language textbook was left lying open on the side of a desk by an open window, its pages flapping in the wind blowing in from the Mediterranean.
“People in Tripoli are not as friendly as people in Benghazi,” was scribbled on one page under an exercise called “Compare places in Libya”.
“There is no school now so we just come here to draw and make songs against Muammar,” said Nur Alhuda Ali, a 13-year-old girl. “Before I didn’t know about Gaddafi but after the revolution I can see that everyone hates him. So Gaddafi must be a very bad person. Otherwise why would everyone hate him?”
Some said their parents made them study at home to compensate for the lack of official schooling.
History was distorted under Gaddafi’s rule, creating a peculiar universe in which Libya was juxtaposed against a hostile world trying to destroy its post-colonial achievements.
Many textbooks on social studies will now have to be rewritten completely, rebels say. To achieve this, university professors have set up a research centre to tackle issues such as the overhaul of textbooks. But the process is not easy.
“We’re trying to figure out what we need to fix and how to do it,” said Omar Salabi, a senior figure there. “There was no civil society before. We have to change the way people think.”
Many students are away, having taken up arms to fight Gaddafi troops on the front line. At least 100 students from Garyounis University have been killed and many more are missing.
Money is another problem in a sector which relies on state salaries. With oil output at a standstill, the rebel authority is broke, and no wages were paid at Garyounis University in May.
Pointing at the walls of his office dotted with nail holes where Gaddafi portraits used to hang, Dr Shareia said people were determined to make it work despite all the difficulties.
“When I look at my students I can see they are different. In the past they were nervous,” he said. “Now they are happy to discuss things. They are helpful. It’s nice to see how people can change. I think it’s because they have hope.”

Libyan rebel leader in Beijing
China says it’s trying to help both sides find a solution
Kathleen E. McLaughlinJune 21, 2011 06:02
A top leader in the movement trying to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is in Beijing this week for talks, but China says it’s not taking sides in the dispute.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Mahmoud Jibril, chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council, would be in Beijing Tuesday and Wednesday this week. A spokesman for the Chinese ministry said the visit was part of China’s effort to help find a solution in Libya. China, which earlier this month hosted Libya’s foreign minister, has a big financial stake in the outcome, largely because of oil. Around 35,000 Chinese workers, mainly employed in oil, were reportedly evacuated from Libya when fighting broke out.

Qaddafi Tanks Deprived of Diesel as Ships Shunning Libya: Freight Markets
www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-21/qadda...

No vessel delivered the fuel to Qaddafi-controlled ports since February, according to five oil-product traders and three shipbrokers interviewed by Bloomberg. The country, once Africa’s third-largest crude producer, normally got four shipments a month, they said. One vessel holds 34 million liters (9 million gallons), enough to fill all Libyan tanks 18 times over, based on data from IHS Jane’s, a military analysis company.

UK’s Cameron says can stay in Libya as long as needed

LONDON, Juno 21 (Reuters) – Britain can keep up its military intervention in Libya as long as is needed, British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday, following comments from senior UK military chiefs who have questioned long Britain could sustain its military.
“I’m absolutely confident that we can keep this pressure up, (that) we can maintain this mission for as long as is necessary,” Cameron told a news conference.
“Time is on our side, not on Gaddafi’s side,” he added.

Libya: Gaddafi continues to elude Nato’s grasp

ANDREW NORTH:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-1385...
Nato has been bombing Libya for longer than it did Serbia in 1999 during the Kosovo conflict. But so far it is no closer to meeting the West’s goals of stopping Col Muammar Gaddafi attacking his own people or ending his 42-year rule.
Instead, the alliance finds itself on the defensive over civilian casualties, with rumblings of discontent on both sides of the Atlantic over the operation’s legality and cost.
With the mercurial Col Gaddafi demonstrating yet again his ability to stay in power, the Obama administration increasingly sounds like it is preparing for a long haul.
“No one knows what will bring this to an end,” a senior US official involved with Libya policy told the BBC.

Maj. Gen. Abd-al-Fattah Yunis al-Ubaydi: “Freedom Fighters” are really close on Sirte. We have formed secret cells in Tripoli.
voicefreelibya.blogspot.com/2011/06/maj...

Maj. Gen. Abd-al-Fattah Yunis al-Ubaydi, chief-of-staff of Libya’s liberation army, said that “Freedom Fighters” are really closing in on Sirte and liberating it from the security brigades with Tripoli next in line. He stressed the need to secure rear in Ajdabiyah which is the main artery of the eastern region towards Tobruk, Al-Kufrah or Benghazi: “we must secure it completely. Our forces our now ready and our preparations are complete”.
Later, Yunis stressed situation in Tripoli: “the Freedom Fighters in Tripoli have formed secret cells and are undertaking spectacular operations. The media blackout, however, has affected their impact. However, they are launching formidable and spectacular secret operations. It is a wonderful secret war. Al-Qadhafi soldiers have been on the streets for five months now without proper food, proper sleep, and proper showers, in addition to air strikes. Their morale is low”..

Yunis made a statement to “all heroes of Tripoli”: “do not repeat what had happened in Benghazi. Following the uprising, the regime’s persecution of people led them to destroy everything including police departments, army camps. We are recommending that army and police officers in Tripoli, along with civilians, to try and preserve public property. The rehabilitation of camps in Benghazi and the eastern region require dozens of millions of dollars. Some people even torched massive ships in Susah and Al-Shahhat. Some others even trashed MIG jets. This is a call to all the heroes of Tripoli to please preserve their country. This is the Libyan people’s money. It does not belong to Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi nor Mustafa Abd-al-Jalil”.

La vicenda libica implica dei “temi seri che richiedono un’approfondita valutazione” e non discussioni impostate su interrogativi come “se uscire subito (dalla missione internazionale, ndr), ritardare o far slittare i tempi” perché “non è in questi termini che si deve affrontare il ruolo dell’Italia nel mondo”. E’ per questo – ha spiegato stamane il ministro Franco Frattini che il 6 luglio -‘il Consiglio Supremo di Difesa, presieduto dal Capo dello Stato, affronterà il caso libico più in generale’

HRW-Libya: Government Using Landmines in Nafusa Mountains
shabablibya.org/news/hrw-report-libya-g...
June 21, 2011
Posted in News, Press Release | 14:38

Placement of More Than 150 Antipersonnel Mines Confirmed
(Cairo, June 21, 2011) – Libyan government forces placed more than 150 antipersonnel landmines in at least one location in the Nafusa Mountains, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch visited the site, inspected mines that had been removed, and interviewed the rebel fighters who removed them.
“These antipersonnel landmines pose a huge threat to civilians,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “More than 150 countries have banned landmines, but Libya continues to defy this global trend.”
Human Rights Watch has confirmed government use of five types of landmines in six separate locations in Libya, including the use of antipersonnel and antivehicle landmines near Ajdabiya.
This is the first confirmed use of landmines in the Nafusa Mountains, in the far western part of Libya.
The mines found in the mountains are a Brazilian-made antipersonnel mine, the T-AB-1. The mines were placed about 10 miles north of the town of Zintan in a place called Khusha (coordinates N 32º 02.448′, E 012º 12.710′), apparently to defend government positions further north.
The T-AB-1 plastic antipersonnel mine has a low metal content and is therefore difficult to detect once placed, Human Rights Watch said.In addition to its antipersonnel properties, the T-AB-1 can be used as a fuze for an antivehicle mine with the same name.
When Libyan government forces placed the antipersonnel landmines remains unclear. Armed opposition forces in the Nafusa Mountains said that rebel fighters discovered the mines on or around June 1, 2011, and removed 169 of them. Human Rights Watch inspected the disassembledmines in Zintan.
The de facto opposition authority in Libya, the National Transitional Council, formallypledged on April 28 not to use antipersonnel and antivehicle landmines, and to destroy all landmines in its possession.
“We hope the rebels will respect their promise not to use landmines and will destroy all mines in their possession,” Goose said.
Government forces have placed T-AB-1 antipersonnel landmines in other areas during the conflict. In May, researchers from Amnesty International documented the use of the mine at two places in the Tammina neighborhood of Misrata, a residential area southeast of the city’s center.
Libya is one of 37 nations that have not joined the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. A total of 156 nations are parties to the treaty, and another two have signed but not yet ratified.
The Mine Ban Treaty comprehensively bans the use, production, and transfer of all antipersonnel mines, requires destruction of stockpiles within four years and clearance of mined areas within 10 years, and calls for assistance to landmine victims. In recent years, the only government forces that have continued to lay antipersonnel mines are Burma’s.
“The use of antipersonnel mines in the Libya conflict is endangering civilians and will continue to do so after the fighting has stopped,” Goose said.

All Confused On the Western Front: NATO and Libya’s Rebels Don’t Jibe
www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,...

The chief problem plaguing both NATO and the rebels is lack of coordination. Rebel leaders complain that they must jump through hoops to reach NATO officials. Field commanders requesting air strikes and relaying troop movements have no direct communication with the alliance’s military command in the region, much less headquarters in Brussels, which must issue the ultimate orders. Instead, they call their senior officers via satellite phone at a rebel command center in Benghazi. The officers then relay the information to NATO officials in the same building, who only then contact Brussels. The byzantine process squanders valuable time in a war where seconds are precious.

ArmchairArab
Experience is good, but Mr Tarhouni brings a sense of openness and accountability that’s very important for future Libya.

URGENT: Wounded Hero in Misrata!
by Libyan Youth Movement on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 7:38am
Source: ‘My Free Libya’ Facebook Group
Asalamualikum Warahmatu-Allahu Wa Barakatu,
A 25 year old young man named Tariq Jibril was fighting in the front lines in Misrata when a grad missile struck right next to him. He suffered a concussion and now is in desperate need of surgery on his brain. The operation however is going to cost 12,000 libyan dinars. We have raised some of this money but are in desperate need of some more. His brothers and all of his friends are all in the front lines fighting in Misrata.

We talked to his brothers on the phone and they sent this message out to those who help Tariq: في البداية أود تعبير عن شكري و نقل شكر عائلة المريض عن إستعدادكم للوقوف و مد يد المساعدة لأنقاض هذا المريض علما أن أخوته الباقين قد إتصلوا بي عن طريق هاتف الثورية من جبهة مصراتة و كلفوني بنقل هذه الرسالة لكل من نمد يد المساعدة لأخوانه الثوار"من جهزا غازي فقد غرا" . أما بالنسبة للمريض فقد قمنا بنقله لمصحة البحيرة قمنا بجراحة أخذ عينة ثم سيتم نقله لمصحة سكرة لإجراء العملية وقيمتها 12000 دت

If you can or know anyone who can donate to help Tariq please message me on facebook Amina Al-Leebeya or email zentanrelief@gmail.com.

You may also call 407-970-3939.
Pictures of the doctor’s papers and Tariq’s passport are available if you need to make sure this is true.
Please please do all you can to help him.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

Gaza,(Alresalah.ps)—A Palestinian family of four members was killed in a shelling by NATO at sites in the Libyan capital, Tripoli on Monday night.
www.alresalah.ps/eng/?action=showdetail...
The ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ramallah pointed out on Tuesday that the International Red Cross got informed of the victims. The family used to live in Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus before moving to Tripoli.
It is not the first time for NATO’s bombing to kill civilians in Libya, justifying such incidents as mistakes taking place due to lack of information

I’m thinking about this………
Since when did this family live in Tripoli?
Do we have names? And if we do, are those family members living in Palestine?
This can’t be anti west propaganda can it?
Would g take a Patestinian family for staging?
This is a strange coincidence……of all the ppl living in Tripoli, a Palestinian family who just came from a refugee camp gets hit by NATO……….

While the United States has stepped back from a leading role in the strike mission NATO took over on March 31, it has continued to provide essential assets, including reconnaissance planes, air-to-air refueling planes and armed drones.
However, U.S. law prohibits U.S. armed forces from being involved in military actions for more than 60 days without congressional authorisation, with a 30-day pullout period. Boehner says these 90 days are up on Sunday.

MID EAST-Foreign policy:
Expellus Assadum!

Libya should be enough to demonstrate this hard reality.I’m actually optimistic about Libya — the diplomatic and military trends all clearly favor the rebels, the NTC has come together into an impressive government-in-waiting, and international consensus has remained reasonably strong. But even if Libya ends well, the reality is that it has taken months under nearly the best possible conditions. It isn’t just that the President used his magic words.The Libya operation had widespread regional and international support, UN authorization, direct military involvement in a favorable environment for airpower, and an organized and effective opposition on the ground with a viable political leadership. And it has ground on for months.

RAPPEL RESUME DES CRIMES DE KADHAFI

A partir de 1969, pendant 42 ans, Kadhafi va briser d’innombrables personnes à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de la Libye.
Pendaisons publiques, parfois supervisées par lui-même, d’opposants, par exemple des étudiants ayant manifesté, pendus devant leurs professeurs et camarades pour l’exemple.
Les pendaisons étaient souvent retransmises à la télévision, ainsi que les interrogatoires dans lesquels chacun – notamment la famille et les enfants du détenu – pouvait voir ce que l’on risquait en s’opposant.
Des membres de la famille étaient parfois obligés de dire à la télévision leur désaccord avec leur père, frère, enfant opposants.
Les opposants – et à défaut leurs proches – étaient souvent kidnappés, et disparaissaient sans laisser de trace. Que de familles n’ont plus eu de nouvelles, du jour au lendemain, de leurs proches disparus, souvent exécutés sans jugement ou morts sous la torture. Les méthodes de torture des geôles de Kadhafi sont bestiales, perverses, humiliantes, violentes, issues d’une imagination morbide. Elles laissent parfois les gens dans un état d’abrutissement dont ils ne sortent plus.

La liste des vies brisées, des enfants traumatisés, des familles anéanties, mises au ban, est très longue.

Kadhafi soutient financièrement et logistiquement les régimes sanguinaires et les mouvements terroristes de par le monde. Il est le cerveau, en 1986, de l’attentat contre une discothèque à Berlin en Allemagne. En 1988, attentat contre le vol 103 de la Pan Am, au-dessus de Lockerbie. 1989, attentat du vol 772 de l’UTA qui s’écrase au Niger…
Même quand il n’est pas l’instigateur de l’attentat, il le célèbre : en 1985, il salue les attentats à l’aéroport de Rome et de Vienne, les qualifiant d’héroïques. Plusieurs personnes sont tuées et Kadhafi exprime son vœu de voir d’autres attaques du même genre être perpétrées.

En 1980, le régime de Kadhafi inaugure l’ère des “Chiens Errants”, politique d’assassinats des dissidents à l’étranger. Kadhafi affirme que les assassinats doivent être effectués en dehors de la Libye, et qu’ils sont nécessaires et obligatoires, même pendant le hadj, pèlerinage musulman à la ville sainte de La Mecque. Plusieurs seront abattus sur leur lieu de travail, voire dans la rue (Royaume Uni, Allemagne, Egypte, Chypre…).
Parfois il y a d’autres victimes non ciblées au départ :
- les agents Kadhafi tentent d’empoisonner Farj Ghesouda Shaban et son épouse britannique au Royaume-Uni, mais les enfants du couple manquent de mourir à leur place.
- les forces de Kadhafi font feu sur une foule pacifique devant l’ambassade de Libye au Royaume-Uni, pour viser un opposant. La policière anglaise Yvonne Fletcher meurt.

En 1995, le congrès du peuple a approuvé les “lois de purification”, la légalisation de l’amputation, de la flagellation et d’autres formes de torture comme punition.

Les punitions collectives sont également pratiquées. Par exemple en 1993, quand il inflige une punition collective aux familles de Beni Walid, qui a connu un soulèvement. Maisons démolies, expropriations, tirs, écoliers expulsés…

Punitions collectives et exécutions de masse, comme le massacre, en 1996 de plus de 1200 prisonniers politiques à la prison Abu Salim à Tripoli. Pendant des années, le gouvernement nie ce massacre. Beaucoup de familles attendent encore des informations sur leurs proches.
Il ne suffit pas d’être opposant pour être attaqué : en 1996, l’ordre est donné de tirer sur les supporters de foot à Tripoli, car la foule a hué son fils Saadi. 20 à 50 tués et de très nombreux blessés.

Les familles ne peuvent avoir de nouvelles de leurs proches enlevés, où est-il, vivant ou mort, pourquoi ? Aucune réponse, et il vaut mieux ne pas insister en posant les question.
Le régime de Kadhafi empêche Amnesty International de rencontrer des familles de victimes du massacre d’Abou Salim, en leur interdisant l’accès à l’aéroport.

Un sentiment d’impunité règne dans la famille Kadhafi puisque les fils se livrent à des actes psychopathiques y compris à l’extérieur du pays.

Quand les libyens se révoltent en 2011, on connaît la réaction du régime : tirer sur les manifestants, installer des snipers sur les toits, engager des mercenaires, distribuer du Viagra en incitant au viol de femmes, d’enfants et d’hommes comme arme de guerre, enlever les manifestants blessés des hôpitaux, interdire aux médecins de soigner les manifestants, attaquer des villes et villages en tirant au hasard, les affamer en tuant le bétail, empoisonnant les puits, bloquant le ravitaillement…
Les nouvelles récentes sont accessibles, les organisations humanitaires internationales ont fait de nombreux constats, accessibles sur leurs sites.

Libya: Teaching Trauma Surgery Management Durin

In the rebel-controlled city of Misrata, in Libya, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is running a surgery program in two facilities—Abbad Hospital and Kasr Ahmed Hospital. Between March and May 2011, the city was a battleground between forces loyal to ruler Muammar Gaddafi and anti-Gaddafi rebels. MSF surgeon David Nott was there and he described his experience.
What was specific about your mission in Misrata?
It was very much a teaching mission—it was the first time I did this sort of teaching. In any other mission, you do the job on your own, but in Misrata, I was able to disseminate my knowledge.
Libyan surgeons and doctors in Misrata were all very skilled in their own specialty, however they had no proper trauma training.
When watching in the operating theater or the triage areas of Abbad Hospital, I felt that although the staff was doing quite good work, significant improvements could be made regarding, for example, the initial management of the airway breathing and circulation and stopping a catastrophic hemorrhage. They did not have enough experience or knowledge to deal with those kinds of problems. And I decided to teach the correct operative way of managing trauma surgery because normal day-to-day surgery is different from trauma surgery.
How did you organize the training?
In London, I teach trauma surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons and I did the same course in Misrata—in English, as they were all speaking English.
I had a lot of information and videos on a USB stick on how to do proper procedures. So I gave lectures on management of trauma: initial management and operative management. I showed, for instance, videos on how to do fasciotomies. After lectures, we would use the knowledge and information acquired in the operating theatre.
Mike, another MSF surgeon, used the information and the videos to give the same lectures in Kasr Ahmed Hospital where MSF is also working. Every day from 2:30 pm to 4 pm, I would give a lecture to around 40 people—surgeons, anaesthetists, medical students, emergency doctors, and triage doctors.
Were you were doing surgery as well?
I did the training all the time I stayed in Misrata, for three weeks. And I did surgery as well in Abbad Hospital, in the mornings, late afternoons, and in evenings. It was trauma surgery—but not that much because most wounded were referred to Al Hikma Hospital, the Misrata trauma center—and mainly post-conflict surgery. We were doing a lot of flap plastic surgery (incorporating skin flaps) and skin grafts. We treated fighters as well as civilians with fragmentation wounds or gunshot wounds. There is one thing I noticed—all patients were treated the same way, regardless of the side there were fighting for.

Endless gas lines on the road into Tripoli
TRIPOLI, Libya – What you see before you cross the border from Tunisia to Libya tells you a lot.
For about two miles approaching the border crossing, vendors sell everything from tires to electronics, but white-plated Libyan cars only stop at the shops selling gasoline. Gasoline in jugs and barrels are loaded into the trunks of cars and onto flatbeds. In Libya they have run dry.
On the two and half hour journey to Tripoli, gas lines are endless. Some run five miles long with cars divided into lanes, bumper to bumper.

In Libya, the fight near the port city of Misrata is continuing to rage as forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi fired a rocket attack into the centre of the city.
The assault comes as the rebels are slowly expanding their control after months of standoff.
One target is now to liberate the town of Zliten but each advance has been thwarted.

German prosecutors on Tuesday opened a formal inquiry against #Gaddafi over alleged crimes against humanity tinyurl.com/5wuwsld #Libya #ICC
BERLIN (BNO NEWS) — German prosecutors on Tuesday opened a formal inquiry against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi over alleged crimes against humanity, the DPA news agency reported.
The federal investigation will gather evidence for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. On May 16, ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo requested an arrest warrant against three Libyan top officials.
The United Nations-backed court is still considering the evidence against Gaddafi, one of his sons, and Abdullah Al Sanousi, the head of Libya’s Intelligence agency, for alleged crimes against humanity committed since last February when anti-government protests began.

Al-Azhar begins efforts to stop bloodshed in Libya
www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/470254
Grand Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, head of Al-Azhar, the highest-ranking religious institution in the Sunni Muslim world, met on Tuesday with a delegation of Libyan religious scholars in an effort to bring an end to the crisis in Libya, which has been continuing since February.
The brutal repression of peaceful protests by Colonel Muammar Qadhafi’s regime since 17 February prompted the international community to intervene in order to stop the killing of civilians.
On 19 March, an international military alliance began implementing a United Nations Security Council resolution imposing an air embargo on Libya and a military campaign to reduce the ability of Qadhafi’s troops to attack those calling for a change of regime.
Al-Tayeb called for the creation of a council of elders comprised of Libyan scholars and thinkers to develop optimal solutions that enable the Libyan people to freely choose their own leaders.
He also invited the conflicting parties to meet at Al-Azhar in order to reach agreement on an immediate cease fire, suggesting that the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference should attend that meeting.

“Now is not the time” – Ibrahim Jibreil
cyrenaica.tumblr.com/post/6736375454/no...

“Now is not the time” has become the favorite phrase of those who do not want the rest of Libya to know what they are up to, adhere to any sense of transparency, or simply are not fully aware of what is happening around them.

But…if we are fighting for justice, democracy and the rule of law, I’d say, now IS the time. If we want to protect this precious freedom for which thousands of our young people are paying with their lives, I would say, there is no better time than the present time.

Libyan oil exports could reach 355,000 bpd soon
Libyan crude exports could hit 355,000 barrels a day (bpd) in the short term from the rebel-controlled East, and that level is unlikely to prevent prices from heading higher in the second half of the year, United States bank Goldman Sachs said in a report.

Exports from the North African producer could touch 585,000 bpd from additional shipments from fields in the west if there was a change in the government, the report dated Tuesday said.

Libyan oil production fell from 1.58 million bpd in January to just 100,000 bpd in May, while exports have stopped entirely, according to the International Energy Agency

George Osborne refuses to reveal cost of Libyan operations
Chancellor’s stance follows comments by Danny Alexander that intervention would reach ‘hundreds of millions’ of pounds
George Osborne has refused to be drawn on the cost of the Libyan intervention, following comments at the weekend by Danny Alexander that it would reach “hundreds of millions” of pounds.
The chancellor and his chief secretary to the Treasury, both present in the Commons, were pressed to confirm the figure by the shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, during Treasury questions. Balls said that in March the government had said the operation would cost “tens of millions not hundreds of millions”. Instead it was announced there will be a Ministry of Defence statement next week.

Say what you will, it’s a war in Libya
The Obama administration, in trying to get around the War Powers Act, has assaulted the very meaning of the word ‘war.’

The Obama administration has come up with a remarkable justification for going to war against Libya without the congressional approval required by the Constitution and the War Powers Act of 1973.

American planes are taking off, they are entering Libyan airspace, they are finding their targets, they are dropping bombs, and the bombs are killing and injuring people and destroying things. One can see this as a good war or a bad war, but surely it is a war.

Jonah Goldberg: Libya and America’s commitment problem
President Obama’s missteps on the War Powers Act have created a dangerous leadership vacuum at home and abroad.
Suddenly and sadly, the Libyan war may be one of the most consequential adventures in recent American history.

Libya’s not important because it is vital to our national security. Nor is it a particularly significant country. It’s important solely because the Washington establishment, led by President Obama, made it important.

Tema: Desde el 31 de marzo de 2011 la OTAN se ha hecho cargo de las operaciones militares en Libia derivadas de las resoluciones 1070 y 1973 del Consejo de Seguridad de Nacionales Unidas.
Resumen: La OTAN se hizo cargo de las operaciones militares en Libia a partir del 31 de marzo de 2011, 12 días después de que comenzaran bajo mando estadounidense primero, y de una coalición internacional después. El relevo vino obligado por la incapacidad de los miembros de la coalición para relevar a EEUU y estuvo acompañado de divergencias sobre el papel que debía tener la OTAN en la gestión militar de la crisis, unas divergencias que no han cesado de evidenciarse aunque, poco a poco, la OTAN ha ido haciéndose con el mando y el control de las operaciones.

Tema: La OTAN viene desarrollando operaciones navales en el Mediterráneo desde su creación, aunque en los últimos años han tenido mayor notoriedad sus actividades relacionadas con la lucha contra el terrorismo desde 2001 y para respaldar el embargo de armas a Libia en 2011.
Resumen: La OTAN siempre ha tenido interés por el Mediterráneo, por lo que ha mantenido en ese mar una estructura de mando, contado con agrupaciones navales, realizado ejercicios navales y llevado a cabo operaciones militares reales para imponer el embargo naval en los conflictos de Bosnia y Kosovo, luchar contra el terrorismo o la piratería y, ahora, llevar a cabo otro embargo marítimo frente a Libia. Este ARI describe la evolución de la estructura de mando y fuerzas, así como de las operaciones navales hasta llegar a la operación Unified Protector con la que se impone el embargo marítimo a Libia.

Pressure Mounts on NATO as Drone Helicopter Goes Missing in Libya

Senate Resolution Authorizing US Libya Mission Introduced
A resolution authorizing limited U.S. military engagement in Libya has been introduced in the Senate. The Obama administration says no such authorization is needed, but that it would welcome the statement of bipartisan support for the mission.

If adopted, the resolution authorizes limited use of U.S. forces in Libya for one year. It specifies the U.S. military will play a supporting role in the NATO-led campaign, and that no American ground troops will be deployed in Libya.

China, Libyan Rebels Hold More Talks
Libya National Transitional Council Chairman Mahmud Jibril arrived in Beijing at noon Tuesday for two days of talks with anxious Chinese leaders keen to see an end to the bloody conflict.

Beijing has important economic interests in the North African state, including much needed oil that helps keep China’s economic boom going.

Jibril is expected to meet with China’s Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, although the foreign ministry released few details ahead of their talks.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told journalists Tuesday that China views the National Transitional Council as an important political force in domestic Libyan politics.

NATO Says Compound Attack in Libya Was ‘Legitimate Target’
NATO on Tuesday offered surveillance evidence to show it carried out an airstrike on a “high-level” command center in Libya, despite Libyan government claims it was a civilian target.

NATO spokesman Mike Bracken said in Naples that Monday’s strike hit a “control node” in Surman that was used to carry out attacks on civilians. He showed photos of the targeted building, whose roof housed 17 satellite dishes that Bracken said were used in coordinating attacks.

Libyan rebels found and removed more than 150 of these antipersonnel landmines, the Brazilian-made T-AB-1, which government forces had placed north of Zintan in the Nafusa Mountains.

Libyan government forces have also placed the T-AB-1 landmine in Misrata. The T-AB-1 plastic antipersonnel mine has a low metal content and is therefore difficult to detect.

UK premier David Cameron disputes military chiefs on Libya. By Ray Moseley
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his military chiefs are in open conflict over the sustainability of Britain’s bombing campaign against the Libyan regime of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi.

And the British government is failing to come clean with the public about the costs of the operation.

After a second military commander was reported on Tuesday to have expressed reservations about the campaign, Mr. Cameron showed his displeasure in a meeting with journalists.

“There are moments I wake up and read the newspapers and think, I tell you what, you do the fighting and I’ll do the talking,” he said.

The Star’s editorial | Freeloading days are over for NATO
American enthusiasm for the 62-year-old North Atlantic Treaty Organization is, rightly, fading.
On one level, this is a difficult truth to acknowledge: For much of the last six decades, NATO has been an unqualified success.
But times and finances have changed, yet NATO remains primarily an American burden. Too many European nations use this umbrella to provide their security at U.S. expense. When NATO was a counterbalance to an aggressive Soviet Union, and Europe was rebuilding from the devastation of World War II, the imbalance made sense. It no longer does, however.

Beginning of the End for NATO?

BERLIN — The U.S. defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, knows how to speak his mind. In a speech on Friday in Brussels, his last in Europe before he leaves office, Mr. Gates lambasted NATO.
Mr. Gates warned the Europeans that unless they improved their military capabilities, spent more on defense and pooled resources, NATO faced “the very real possibility of collective military irrelevance.”

In a panel held as part of the Presidential Conference in Jerusalem, Amos Yadlin said Israelis share the values protesters in the Arab world are fighting for.

Former head of Military Intelligence, Amos Yadlin, said Wednesday that he believes the events in the Arab world will ultimately benefit Israel.
In a panel titled “Looking toward Tomorrow: Trends, Challenges and Decisions,” held during the second day of Shimon Peres’ Presidential Conference in Jerusalem, Yadlin said that “the long-term changes in the Arab world are a great opportunity for Israel… The values that they fought over in Tahrir Square are our values. The fact that Arabs are attacking their own regimes and not Israel is historic.”

Euronews:
Pro-Gaddafi forces step up attacks on Misrata
Fighting has intensified around the Libyan city of Misrata. It has come under heavy fire from forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who have launched rockets at the city.
The opposition had managed to drive out the army in mid-May, breaking the siege, but over the last few days Gaddafi’s forces have renewed their efforts to take back the city. So far, only neighbourhoods on the outskirts have been hit, however, the Libyan army is better trained and equipped than the rebels it is fighting.
Meanwhile, the Italian Foreign Minister is calling for an end to all fighting so that humanitarian aid can be delivered.
Zlitan is still under siege by government forces and despite their attempts, the opposition have not been able to push further west.
Libyan state television showed images of what appeared to be part of a NATO aircraft, saying it was a downed Apache helicopter. A NATO spokesman said contact had been lost with an unmanned drone helicopter in a surveillance operation. Unverified reports also claim shelling by NATO naval ships in Zlitan has killed dozens of civilians. The accusation comes after NATO admitted on Sunday to killing innocent people in airstrikes on Tripoli. A rebel spokesman says the NATO strikes have been hitting loyalist military targets in Zlitan almost every day.

NIZ response to open letter to Cynthia McKinney from Palestinians:
Niz June 22, 2011 at 6:44 am
Well, a rather interesting response to the letter.
1- You call him ‘brother leader’ very early on, clearly establishing that you are not objective on the matter.
2- Gadaffi did not create the Libyan State, not in its current form, nor in any form. Libya existed before Gaddafi, and will exist long after his downfall. The only reason he may be attributed to Libya ‘in its current form’ is because he has been leader for 42 years. An unprecedented number of years to lead a country.
3- You condemn peninsula arab leaders for their links to western governments and how they spend money on material things on their travels to the west. Have you not seen images of Gaddafi meeting European and American leaders in his tent in Libya in recent years? Have you not seen the images of Saif, Saadi, Muaatasim in European nightclubs, drunk, surrounded by women? The images are common all over the public domain. Take the time to look them up.
4- You state that peninsula arab leaders have ‘neglected the plight of their people’. You are correct. But is Gadaffi an exception. Have you been to Tripoli and seen the districts of Hadba Shergeeya, AbuSleem, Hay Alislami, Soug al Jomaa to name only a handful? Is it acceptable that in 2001, in a country with vast oil riches, and after 42 years of trying, that this country still has raw sewage pouring onto streets where children play, that some parts of the capital do not have phone lines or water pipeline? Is this credible leadership?
5- You mention that in Libya there are ‘excellent institutions of learning’. This is nothing short of laughable. Did you know that some libraries in the main uni have no books? Did you know that in other libraries where they have sections for books, you are forbidden to enter these sections? Did you know that corruption in academic institutions is rife, where most lecturers take bribes to allow students to progress, largely because their wages are pathetic, and sometimes delay in receiving these wages sees them without pay for months. Did you know when the ‘brother leaders’ daughter was studying Law in the main uni they banned all males from the law school for the duration of her uni years? So if you were her age, male and wanted to go to law school at tripoli’s main uni….you couldn’t. Tough luck. The ‘brother leader’ says you cant, so you cant.
6- Please tell me i misread your statement that Libya has good ‘medical facilities’? Are you not aware that most Libyans who require specialist care travel to foreign countries to receive this care? some countries FAR poorer than ours, i.e. Tunisia. Such is the market for ‘medical-tourism’ to tunis that there are Libyan-only medical centres. Perhaps you dont know that you cant even get simple things such as the Flu jab in Libya. Its in such low quantities that it runs out within weeks. Perhaps you dont know that when one of my friends passed away with a heart attack the hospital where he was taken (well known) took 15 minutes to find an ECG that worked, and later kept replacing the defibrillator, because they were malfunctioning. Is this not a farce?
7- You talk of our sense of belonging to Africa. Do you not know how much money Gadaffi pumps into africa? Have you not heard of the war with Chad where countless libyans and chadians needlessly died? Do you not know of gaddafis funding of rebel movements around arfica contributing to more bloodshed?
You need to seriously revise your knowledge of the country if you want to be a credible activist for peace, or a worthwhile defender of gadaffi. You are doing him more harm than good by demonstrating your lack of grass roots knowledge.
good luck

Libya, Jun 21, 2011
by Hussein Al-Omari on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 12:41pm
(Sources: Aljazeera)

1. NATO announced that it lost a drone over Libya, which is an unmanned plane. Libyan state TV announced that it downed an Apache helicopter but NATO denied that it lost any Apache.

2. The revolutionary fighters in south west Libya took control of a military base called Wow An-Namous and an airport called Al-Lugweig.

3. Fighting continues at the front lines near Dafniya west of Misrata between the revolutionary fighters and Gaddafi forces.

4. In the news item reported yesterday that Gaddafi forces set up an ambush for the revolutionary fighters in Dafniya 25 Km west of Misrata killing 10 of the revolutionary fighters, there were around 54 wounded. A unit of Gaddafi forces was hiding in a trench and surprised the revolutionary fighters only 50 meters from them with Grad missiles and artillery.

5. German News Agency reported from a Libyan government official stating that the Libyan intelligence systems intercepted a phone call that NATO will bomb the houses of all Gaddafi sons and those for other members of the 1969 Revolutionary Council.

6. The same Libyan government official said that the phone call was intercepted before the bombing of the house of the son of Al-Khuweildi Al-Hemeidi, the member of the 1969 Revolutionary Council, who lives in the city of Sarman, 80 Km west of Tripoli.

7. The European Union foreign ministers agreed that they will discuss the possibility of using the frozen Libyan assets to help the revolutionary fighters. The declaration said that EU approved the urgent financial needs of NTC.

8. Major General Abdul-Fattah Yunis said that revolutionary fighters are really closing in on Sirt and liberating it from Gaddafi forces with Tripoli next in line. He stressed the need to secure Ajdabiyah which is the main artery of the eastern region towards Tobruk, Al-Kufrah and Benghazi.

9. He added that the revolutionary fighters in Tripoli have formed secret cells and are carrying great operations that do not get covered due to the media blackout. Gaddafi soldiers have been on the streets for five months now without proper food, proper sleep, and proper showers, in addition to air strikes. Their morale is low, he said.

10. He also told the Tripoli people not to make the same mistake of Benghazi where people destroyed all police and government places; he said we need them and it will cost millions to rebuild them.

NATO Preparing Ground War in Libya
by grtv
New, unconfirmed reports out late last week suggest that the US is preparing to deploy ground forces to Libya this fall in direct contradiction to all public assurances that the conflict was merely a “kinetic military action” and would not involve boots on the ground. The reports, citing military sources at Ft. Hood, indicate that additional Special Forces will be sent to the region in July, with the 1st Calvary Division and three corps to be deployed in the country in October or November. In total, nearly 30,000 troops are said to be preparing for this escalation.
tv.globalresearch.ca/2011/06/nato-prepa...
www.corbettreport.com/sunday-update-201...

This global research.ca has been known to be wrong on more than one occasion
The jumping to conclusions bit……….
Most of their “info” is often unconfirmed.

On Wednesday 22nd June 2011, @ArmchairArab said:
The NTC press conference speech I’d write:

“For the first time in 42 years, the Libyan people’s political aspirations have materialised in the form of a representative body. That body is the NTC. With the help and support of the Libyan people we are managing the current crisis, providing key services, conducting foreign diplomacy and laying the groundwork for a democratic, pluralistic Libya. Although the NTC isn’t directly elected, it has representatives from every part of the country and people have from across Libya have expressed popular support for this body. What is clear, is that after 42 years of bloody, oppressive, undemocratic rule, Gaddafi and his regime has lost all credibility.

From Feb 15th, the people of Libya came out in peaceful protest, they were met with extreme brutality, and since that day Gaddafi’s war machine, built with funds stolen from the Libyan people, hasn’t paused for a single minute in its deliberate drive to destroy the libyan people.

We’d like to state, very clearly, and unequivocally that the era of Gaddafi, the era of tyranny, backwardness, and despotism is over. Gaddafi is the past, and a free, democratic Libya is the future. We will continue this fight, with or without NATO till we have achieved freedom, till this country has been cleansed from every trace of Gaddadi and his blood thirsty regime.

We urge our partner in the international community to make their stance clear, we urge them to stand with the legitimate and historic demands of the Libyan people, we urge them to stand on the right side of history and support us in achieving our goals of freedom and dignity. We hope they will lend us this support and we look forward to building relations of mutual respect and benefit with all of them.

Thank you for your time, and God bless libya and its people. "

NAFUSA OIL PIPELINE DETAILS: “It has been reported that Opposition forces have shut off the oil pipeline in the Nafusa mountain range that carries crude oil to the Zawiya h refinery near Tripoli from the Awbari oil field in the south of the country.

The Opposition recently gained control of Rayayna, which is where the oil pipeline intercept has occurred. Whilst the report remains unconfirmed, if it is correct, it will severely hamper Gaddafi ’s military operations.

In particular the production of fuel for tanks and other military vehicles will be hit and also fuel supplies to the civilian population in Tripoli who are already suffering severe shortages.”

Libya outreach group:
Executive Summary

On June 21, 2011, reports surfaced that the Gaddafi regime has been laying land mines in the Western Mountain region; a NATO drone helicopter crashed, NATO did not divulge the cause; Senators John Kerry and John McCain introduced a joint resolution to Congress allowing the President to commit U.S. military resources to the Libya mission for an additional year; the NTC chairman, Mahmoud Jibril’s is visiting Chinese officials this week; China states they recognize the NTC as an “important dialogue partner;” and, reports of the severity of Benghazi’s and Misrata’s medical supply shortages surfaced in the context of Libyan cancer patients unable to receive treatment.

Significant opportunities remain for international policymakers to positively impact the situation in Libya, such as by:
• Recognizing the National Transitional Council as the sole, legitimate representative of the Libyan people until Libyan civilians can hold democratic elections
• Unfreezing of Gaddafi regime assets as a means of facilitating humanitarian relief efforts in Libya to protect civilians from starvation and to facilitate peace and stability in liberated areas
• Formulating clear and consistent consensus of how to achieve ultimate goal of removing Gaddafi from power, marshaling all resources necessary to execute consensus vision, and ensuring that the country is able to smoothly transition into its pre-democracy phase
• Providing more humanitarian aid to the Libyan people in Western besieged cities, Misrata, Nafusa mountain region, Zintan and refugees at the border
• Providing pro-democracy fighters with weapons as a means of self-defense and participation in their struggle for freedom
• Protecting natural resources, such as natural water reserves and oil fields, along with natural heritage sites and ancient ruins, which have been threatened by Gaddafi forces
• Deploying fact-finding missions to Tripoli as a means of gaining access to prisons and facilities reported to house many kidnapped persons; including Ain-Zara and Abu Saleem prisons
• Preventing the creation of a power vacuum by promoting and facilitating the post-Gaddafi political transition process; investing in systems and structures that support post-conflict planning dialogue and programs that build leadership and management competencies
• Disabling Gaddafi’s capacity to circumvent UN Sanctions, particularly in the acquisition of oil through third parties, and repatriation and harboring of funds through key officials abroad
• Preventing foreign-national mercenaries from entering Libya and focusing on countries that continue to provide support to Gaddafi
• Widening NATO efforts to the full extent possible under UN Resolution 1973 to protect civilians and oust Gaddafi from power
• Reinstituting American participation and leadership in the NATO mission

He keeps repeating himself, keeps asking if Khwaildy’s house was a weapons depot, a military spot…

Please read below, a story shared with the world about two martyrs of thousands that have been killed by the Gaddafi regime. Please send us stories and statistics of people you know that have been victims of the violence of the Gaddafi regime and Give them a name.

On Thursday 23rd June 2011,@MoAm84 said:
#giveaname: Aisha & Mohammed, a man of Honor..

Aisha was 26 yrs old, she was newly wed, she was married to Mohammed 27, they just moved recently to Misurata after Mohammed found a job as a welder there..She was from Tripoli, he was from Benghazi..They met 2 years sooner during one of Mohammed trip to Tripoli..He fell madly in love with Aisha…

Mohammed was my friend, we sudied together in Canada, we where verry close he was a little brother to me..I loved him like you love a brother..He so many times shared with me his aspiration 4 Libya..telling me how he was wishing 4 Libya to become a free country like Canada..a place where he can talk openly about his views and aspiration, where he can be free to be whatever he wanted to be without risking jail and torture or even worst death..

When the uprising started Mohammed wanted to join but was also scared 4 his wife knowing she was alone in a city where they knew almost no one..But when the uprising became a bloodbath and reach Misurata, Mohammed felt the call and joined the#FFand went to the front..He sadly never came back alive from the front..he died with honor trying to save his city from Gadaffi forces missile and attack..

Aisha was devastated and called me to let me know of the news and reach to me for help..she was using a neighbour satellite phone her call was short and was a plea of help..she was scared alone in a city where she knew no ones..The city was under heavy bombing and told me she had no money and they where too much bombing that she would not be able to burry Mohammed..She was crying and it touched me deep inside..the call cut at the moment i swear to her to get her out of there..I promess to get back in touch with her…

Thanks to many friends from the livestream Libya Al hurra channel I was able to get in touch with ppl on the ground, I will owe them all my life for all the effort they put into it…Not even a week after Mohammed death we where able to find her a place in a boat, I frantically tryed to reach her that day with no success..My contact have found her a place in the next boat to Benghazi..I was so disapointed but did not give up, neither my contact we where ready to do anything to get her out of harms way..The next day again I had my contact reach me and say: ’’tell her to be at the port for noon..she will ask for Mr.XXXX and he will get her a place in the boat…I finally reach Aisha she was so happy,it was overwhelming she was crying from joy.

We where all hopefull she would make it for next boat, she had almost a day to get there, she was few step away to freedom. I was so gratefull to my team for helping me make this possible..I was awaiting next day with so much anxiety..noon came..no news, 1h, 2h, 3h…a day pass still no news of Aisha I was starting to be anxious but my team was supporting me reminding me she must have made it but communications are difficult and may just have no way to reach us…

3 days and no news..Finally phone ring..it’s a Canadian number i’m not sure of..but my heart tell me to answer so I did..It was a relative of Mohammed..he said to me: ‘’ I wanna first thank you for all you did, I wanna personally thank you on behalf of Aisha’s familly’’..I said she is ok right?, he answered me: ‘’ no she is not..she never made it to the port she died on her way there she was killed on her way there’’ I was devastated..How can it be possible she was few steps away to freedom, how can it be, I could not make sense of my loss, I was in total shock, crying all the tears I have, raging against Gadaffi troops that have taken her away on her road to safety..It was so hard no word can describe

Her name was Aisha, she was few steps away to safety, few steps away from the port when her life ended..I just have gave her a name..she is no longer a statistic please share her story and open also your heart and share your own story.. at hasgtag#giveaname

Aisha is no more in silence her story came to the world…your turn to do the same…#giveaname

Gadhafi calls for UN to investigate NATO attack in Surman

(CNN) — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi called Thursday for the U.N. Security Council to carry out an independent fact-gathering mission on Monday’s NATO attack in the city of Surman, which resulted in civilian casualties.
“The Security Council should hold an urgent meeting to discuss the matter and stop this barbaric attack,” he said in a nationally televised address.

La Libye dispose toujours de grosses quantités de gaz moutarde

La Libye, qui détient des stocks de Semtex (40 caisses de cet explosif ont été interceptées dans le nord Niger la semaine dernière), a également des stocks de gaz moutarde, un produit tristement célèbre depuis la Première Guerre mondiale, où il avait été utilisé comme arme chimique, infligeant de graves brûlures aux yeux, à la peau et aux muqueuses. Tripoli a commencé à éliminer ses stocks en 2004, quand le pays a rejoint les nations membres de l’OIAC, l’Organisation pour l’interdiction des armes chimiques. Mais il lui en reste encore, et la Libye a demandé le mois dernier à l’OIAC un délai d’un an de plus pour finir de détruire ses stocks. Quel danger cela représente-t-il ?

FACTBOX:
June 23 (Reuters) – Following are the latest political and military developments in the Libyan crisis.

• NATO’s chief slapped down a call from Italy for a suspension of hostilities in Libya and tried to reassure wavering members of the Western coalition on Thursday that Muammar Gaddafi can be beaten.
• U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday Libya’s opposition is making very clear progress on the ground. Clinton said there was no doubt that Gaddafi’s men have “their backs against the wall”.
• The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday on a proposal to cut off funds for U.S. military hostilities in Libya but it is unclear if the measure can pass and Senate approval is unlikely.
• Gaddafi accused NATO states of murder in an audio speech, days after the alliance acknowledged for the first time its bombs may have caused civilian casualties.
• Britain’s military operations in Libya have cost 250 million pounds ($405 million) so far, the BBC reported, citing government sources.
• Rebels stuck on a stagnant frontline in eastern Libya blame a mixture of planning chaos and poor military equipment for the lack of progress in their fight against Gaddafi.

High Norwegian participation in #Libya missions: Norwegian F-16 fighter bombers have flown arund 4500 missions over… dlvr.it/XSjy5

Norwegian F-16 fighter bombers have flown arund 4500 missions over Libyan territory since NATO’s operation Unified Protector started March 31st. This more than 10 per cent of all missions over Libya.
From its Souda Air Base on Crete, the Norwegian aircraft have flown more than 2000 hours and dropped more than 400 bombs over targets inside Libya.
The head of the Norwegian contingent to Unified Protector, Lt.Col. Bård Reidar Solheim is satisfied:
- We are a small nation with a small air force which has and still is making a great contribution, far greater than larger nations have made, he says.

Turkey is a NATO ally. Is Turkey allowed to supply g troops with food?

I don’t think so, this may be a breach of UN resolution 1970

Food manufactured in March 2011. Manufactured does not mean shipped and delivered……

Or was this food meant as aid for Libyan ppl and part of WFP?

Turkish rations feeding Gaddafi troops

Al Jazeera found rations from Turkish companies, made as recently as March, among the supplies at Libyan army camps.
Libyan rebels have been fighting Gaddafi’s forces for weeks in the Nafusa mountain range in western Libya. The fighting has been fierce, and the army has periodically shelled a number of towns in the region.
The rebels are slowly making gains, though, and as Gaddafi’s forces flee, they leave behind much of their equipment.
Most of that equipment is quite old: There is a box of ammunition from Gaddafi’s stockpiles, for example, dating back to 1978.
But not all of it. Among the supplies at three different bases, Al Jazeera discovered military rations which – according to their labels – were manufactured in Turkey. Bread packets some of inside the rations were produced in March, according to their labels – meaning they were shipped to Libya after the fighting began.
Turkey, of course, is a member of NATO, which has been carrying out a bombing campaign against Gaddafi’s forces for months.
The rations are produced by UNIFO, a Turkish company which specialises in portable rations and meals ready-to-eat, according to its web site.
Al Jazeera does not know how the rations wound up in western Libya, nor whether Ankara had any knowledge that Turkish companies were apparently doing business with Gaddafi’s army.

Turkey denies supplying Gaddafi troop rations

Suggestion of having breached UN sanctions rejected after Turkish-made food items are found with Gaddafi troops.

Turkey has dismissed a suggestion that it may be breaching United Nations sanctions on Libya after Al Jazeera reported that Turkish food rations were feeding forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The Turkish foreign ministry said on Thursday it has no knowledge of any Turkish company exporting food rations or any other supplies to the Libyan government since UN Security Council sanctions were imposed on March 17.
Among the supplies at three different bases, Al Jazeera discovered military rations which – according to their labels – were manufactured in Turkey.
The rations are produced by UNIFO, a Turkish company which specialises in portable rations and meals ready-to-eat, according to its website. Labels show that bread packets from inside the rations were produced in March.
Turkey is a member of NATO, which has been carrying out a bombing campaign against Gaddafi’s forces for months, and which participates in the UN sanctions.
Most of the equipment being left behind by retreating Libyan forces is quite old: there is a box of ammunition from Gaddafi’s stockpiles, for example, dating back to 1978.
Libyan rebels have been fighting Gaddafi’s forces for weeks in the Nafusa mountain range in western Libya. The fighting has been fierce, and the army has periodically shelled a number of towns in the region.
The rebels have been slowly making gains, while Gaddafi’s forces have fled the frontlineleaving behind much of their equipment.

That was enough about the food, back to news now.

In recent weeks, Nato has repeatedly bombed Muammer Gaddafi’s compounds, deployed attack helicopters and escalated its air campaign. Yet as the military campaign steps up, the potential for blunders rises too – Nato bombs went astray on Sunday. Libya’s regime said nine civilians died, including two children.

Libya: Renewed rocket attacks target civilians in Misratah
Forces loyal to Libyan Colonel Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi are once again targeting civilians in Misratah by firing rockets, some containing ball bearings, into the city’s residential areas, Amnesty International said today.

At least two civilians, a 14-year-old boy and two women were killed and several others, including children, were injured in recent days when “Grad” rockets struck their homes in the port city’s residential neighbourhoods.

Schools have been closed in Libya’s rebel-held east since February, and children have mostly been left to their own devices, writes Maria Golovnina
Ruwid Omar, a Libyan boy with a mop of sunkissed hair, spends his days roaming the streets of Benghazi singing rebel songs, waving opposition flags and chatting to foreign visitors in fluent English.
“I lived in Manchester for eight years with my parents before. But I like Benghazi better actually,” he said, squinting in the bright sun outside Benghazi’s courthouse building – a symbol of Libya’s revolt against Moammar Gadhafi.
“I like the revolution. We are here (in the square) all day or at home watching TV,” added the 14-year-old.

Ali Matieg is tearing through the streets of the Libyan city of Misrata in a rattling ambulance, searching for the site of the latest rocket attack.
Four of them have just landed with a ripple of booms, somewhere in the city centre, sending clouds of brown smoke into the blue evening sky.
It is becoming a daily event in this rebel-held city, where a mood of confident defiance is quickly starting to sour.
The volunteer team in the ambulance stops briefly to ask for directions before arriving in a residential neighbourhood of apartment blocks, where a crowd has gathered to inspect a new, metre-deep hole in the street, and a wall riddled with shrapnel.

Libya rebel head says he has evidence in Sadr case
BEIRUT: The head of Libya’s rebel National Transitional Council said he has evidence that could lead to answers in the 1978 disappearance of Iranian-born Lebanese Imam Musa Sadr.
“We have enough evidence and witnesses that can lead us to the truth,” NTC President Mustafa Abdul Jalil said in an interview published Thursday by the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa.
“But this is an issue for the future, when we liberate the entire Libyan territory,” Abdul Jalil added.
“We have tackled this issue politically with some Lebanese parties, and we are ready to provide assistance if requested by the Lebanese government to do so,” he said.
Abdul Jalil described as “excellent” the relationship between the NTC and Lebanon.

Libia, ex ministro Esteri: Gheddafi lascerà Paese
ROMA (Reuters) – Un ex ministro degli Esteri libico che è passato con l’opposizione ha detto oggi che a suo parere Muammar Gheddafi ha capito di non poter rimanere ancora in Libia e che potrebbe andarsene nel giro di poche settimane.
Abdurrahaman Shalgam, uno dei politici più importanti a lasciare le fila dei sostenitori del Rais, ha detto alla tv del “Corriere della Sera” di credere che Gheddafi stia cercando asilo in un altro Paese africano o in Bielorussia.
“Sta lavorando a tre cose: lasciare il Paese, trovare soldi e avere uno scudo dalla Corte penale internazionale”, ha detto Shalgam, che ricopre ancora il ruolo di ambasciatore libico presso le Nazioni unite.
“Sta lavorando per andare in un altro paese africano o persino in Bielorussia perché il presidente di quel paese è suo amico. Credo che lascerà la Libia nel giro di poche settimane, al massimo in due o tre settimane”.
Gheddafi ha detto più volte di voler combattere fino alla fine. Oggi ha diffuso un nuovo messaggio audio, mandato in onda dalla tv libica, in cui ha definito gli Stati della Nato degli assassini di civili innocenti, affermando che ne vendicherà la morte.

Two influential US senators have introduced a resolution to authorise retroactively the US military’s involvement in the Libya conflict, in an attempt to counteract efforts in the House of Representatives to withdraw funding for the campaign.
John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, and John McCain, an Arizona Republican, put forward a resolution that would allow US forces to operate in a supporting role in the Nato-led operation for one year.
Senators introduce bill for US role in Libya

The legislation comes amid anger on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama did not seek congressional approval before committing US support for the campaign against Muammer Gaddafi’s regime in March.
“I believe the president did the right thing by intervening to stop a looming humanitarian disaster,” Mr McCain said on Tuesday. “I believe we will find a strong, bipartisan majority that is in favour of authorising our current military operations in Libya and seeing this mission through to success.”

Libyan rebels holding indirect talks with Col Gaddafi over stepping down
Libyan rebels have admitted they had held communications with Col Muammar Gaddafi through South African and French mediators in an attempt to persuade the dictator to stand down.
Mahmoud Shammam, a member of the executive committee of the rebels’ National Transitional Council said that the talks were strictly focused on Col Gaddafis departure. However no progress had been made and the content of the exchanges “depended on his mood”.
“We are engaging in discussion with some people who have contact with people from the regime,” Mr Shammam, the rebel council’s spokesman said at a conference in Beirut. “We are contacting them on the mechanism of the departure of Gaddafi. We don’t negotiate the future of Libya.”

Cries of support at pro-Gadhafi rally in Tripoli
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Supporters of Moammar Gadhafi rallied Thursday in Tripoli after the Libyan leader lashed out at NATO over civilian casualties, calling the alliance “murderers” following an airstrike on the family home of a close associate.
A few hundred supporters, most of them women, gathered in the capital’s Green Square hours after the late-night speech, vowing to defend the Libyan leader against rebels seeking to oust him and NATO forces giving them air support.

SHABAB:
Tunisia: Protect Migrant Camp Residents
At Least 6 Dead in Choucha Camp Since Early May
Photos for distribution available at: www.hrwnews.org/press/tunisia_libya.zip
(Zarzis, June 23, 2011) – Tunisia should better protect the more than 3,000 foreign nationals who fled Libya and remain vulnerable in the Choucha camp in its territory, Human Rights Watch said today.
Several violent incidents in May 2011 left at least six migrants in the camp dead, and parts of the camp destroyed by fire. The Tunisian military, which provides security at the camp, failed to prevent the violence, and may have taken part in some attacks on camp residents, Human Rights Watch said.
“The people from other countries fleeing violence in Libya, especially sub-Saharan Africans, are among the most vulnerable civilians in the conflict,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Tunisia should hold accountable anyone found to have used unwarranted or excessive force against others in the Choucha camp, and work to improve camp protection.”
Human Rights Watch visited the Choucha camp and area hospitals between June 7 and 10 and was able to work freely in the camp. Witnesses to the three primary episodes of unrest – on May 6, 22 and 24 – said that the Tunisian army and National Guard, the camp residents themselves, and Tunisians from the nearby town of Ben Gardane had varying degrees of responsibility.
An officer in the Tunisian army who works with the refugee communities in Choucha told Human Rights Watch that the police had opened investigations into the episodes on May 22 and May 24.
As of June 21, the Choucha camp was holding just over 3,027 foreign nationals from 27 countries, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, all of whom had fled Libya. The largest groups are the Somalis, Eritreans, Sudanese, and Ethiopians. As of June 19, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) had registered 980 recognized refugees and 1,339 asylum seekers.
The most violent incident, on May 24, stemmed from a protest the previous day, when hundreds of camp residents demonstrated in front of the UNHCR office. The protesters demanded resettlement in Western countries instead of repatriation to their home countries. During the demonstration, camp residents blocked the road that links Tunisia to Libya, halting cross-border trade.
The following morning, a group of camp residents tried to convince the protesters to open the road, setting off a fight. Around 10 a.m., a group of Tunisian civilians, who army officials and camp residents said were from Ben Gardane, 25 kilometers west of Choucha, arrived at the camp, intent on reopening the road. To reach Choucha, they passed two checkpoints patrolled jointly by the Tunisian army and National Guard, apparently without hindrance.
Choucha camp residents gave varying estimates of the number of people in the group – from 100 to more than 400 – and said that some of them were wielding iron bars. The colonel from the Tunisian army who spoke with Human Rights Watch placed the number closer to 100.
At the camp, a violent confrontation began between the Ben Gardane group, camp residents, armed with rocks and tent stakes, and the Tunisian military. The Tunisian army colonel told Human Rights Watch that two camp residents were beaten to death, apparently by Tunisian civilians. Those deaths are under investigation by the Tunisian police, he said.
Human Rights Watch spoke with a relative of the two victims, who he said were cousins from Darfur, Sudan: Ali Abdullah Hasb al-Nabi Mohamed, 31, and Ahmed Bakr Haroon Ismail, 38. Both men died from gunshot wounds, said the relative, who said he saw the bodies.
The Ben Gardane hospital reported treating 13 wounded camp residents, as well as 3 members of the Tunisian military. Other medical sources told Human Rights Watch that they treated 35 cases of trauma among camp residents over the following week.
Six camp residents showed Human Rights Watch the injuries they said they had sustained on May 24, including five people with gunshot wounds and one with an arm fracture.
Some camp residents said that the Tunisian army and National Guard watched while the group from Ben Gardane looted the tents and set part of the camp on fire. Some said they saw soldiers also beating migrants.
A 23-year-old man from Darfur, who asked that his name be withheld, said:

Even inside the camp, the Tunisians and the army were shooting. Some guys from the National Guard came inside my tent. They came with civilians. One of the civilians had an iron rod and a butcher knife, 2 feet long. Two guards stood outside the tent. They told me to get out of the tent, and then they pulled me out. Some of the civilians took things and set the tents on fire… The National Guard was protecting the looters. They started beating me with sticks. I was beaten in the right leg and the right lower back at the kidney.

The colonel who spoke with Human Rights Watch denied that the military had participated in any of the attacks. The military intervened to “separate and disperse” the feuding parties, he said, firing into the air and into the ground.
On June 8, Human Rights Watch observed a large empty section of the Choucha camp with the charred remains of tents. Residents said the area was one of the campsites that had been burned.
At midday on May 24, camp residents and medical staff working in the camp told Human Rights Watch that a group of civilians from Ben Gardane also started a confrontation at the Moroccan Military Hospital, a field hospital set up at the camp to treat camp residents and others displaced from Libya.
Abubakr Usman Mohamed, 39, a Darfuri being treated at the hospital for a gunshot wound sustained during the May 24 violence, told Human Rights Watch:

During treatment at the hospital, people from Ben Gardane started throwing rocks at the hospital and at everyone. The doctors let us inside the hospital tent and then ran away. They said, “We cannot work here anymore.” I saw some doctors injured too.

One doctor at the Moroccan Military Hospital confirmed that the doctors had suspended operations in Choucha when the Tunisian civilians confronted them, but he denied that any doctors had been injured. The field hospital subsequently relocated to Zarzis, a Tunisian town more than 100 kilometers from Choucha.
Some camp residents claimed that Tunisian staff working with international organizations had also participated in the attack and in subsequent harassment of camp residents.
International organizations, including UN agencies and their subcontractors, should conduct their own investigations to determine whether any of their staff members were involved in the violence or harassment, Human Rights Watch said.
The earlier incidents in May had contributed to the insecurity at the camp, Human Rights Watch said. On the night of May 22, four Eritreans were killed when roughly two dozen tents caught fire in circumstances that many Eritreans found suspicious. Eritreans who escaped the fire told Human Rights Watch that the victims had been day laborers in Libya: Salah Ismail, 28 or 29; Ibrahim Sulaiman, 31; Ahmedin Saad, 25; and Jamaa Muhammad, 29. A fifth man, Siraj Ismail Muhammad, 30, remained hospitalized as of June 9 for serious burns.
The colonel who spoke with Human Rights Watch said that the Tunisian police are conducting an investigation. Eritrean camp residents said they suspect a camp resident from Sudan started the fire after an earlier confrontation with some Eritreans.
On May 6, two Nigerian residents of the camp, a man and a woman, were allegedly beaten by Tunisian soldiers, and another man may have been shot.Ifeanyi Kanu Victor, 31, and Elizabeth Rex, 23, claimed that soldiers beat them, causing Victor to fall unconscious and Rex, who was pregnant, to have a miscarriage. Other Nigerian camp residents told Human Rights Watch that they had witnessed the beating.
A third Nigerian resident, Jamal Olaitan, a 33 year-old electrical technician, said he approached a Tunisian soldier to ask about the beatings, and the soldier shot him in the stomach. Human Rights Watch could not confirm the shooting but observed bandages on Olaitan’s abdomen, and a medical expert who treated Olaitan said that Olaitan had suffered a bullet wound. The Tunisian colonel said the military was not involved in the shooting and beating.
“Tunisia rightly opened its borders to people fleeing the fighting in Libya, both Libyans and non-Libyan refugees and migrants,” Stork said. “But more needs to be done now to ensure that these people are not subject to harassment or violence in what should be a safe haven.”

A group of men sipping tea in the courtyard on a recent afternoon say the “traitors” are those who hail from Tawergha, a small town 25 miles to the south inhabited mostly by black Libyans, a legacy of its 19th-century origins as a transit town in the slave trade.
Many Misratans are convinced that Tawerghans were responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed …

Anxious in Benghazi: Watching out for Gaddafi’s Saboteurs

“I have to close my restaurant when it gets dark,” complains Ahmad al-Dursi, 43, the owner of a small hamburger joint in Benghazi, the capital of what is called Free Libya. But it is not completely free yet. “It is not safe here with the revolutionary committees still active,” says al-Dursi, referring to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s loyalists who have terrorized the population for most of Gaddafi’s 42 years in power.
Though Gaddafi’s troops withdrew from eastern Libya in the days following the Feb. 17 uprising, his agents are still active in the rebel capital, prolonging the climate of fear and preventing the celebration of a dictator’s departure. Residents whisper of a fifth column waiting to pounce and of spies working for Gaddafi who send reports back to Tripoli about rebel activity. A series of arrests, killings and bombings has reinforced these worries. (See “Death, Prison or Exile: Gaddafi Is Out of Options.”)

Turkish military rations found in Gaddafi bases
Posted on June 23, 2011 by admin

Al Jazeera’s James Bays reports on a discovery made that could reveal how Gaddafi is managing to feed his frontline troops.
Turkish military rations were found in three bases used by Gaddafi forces in the Nafusa Mountains region. Some of the ration packs are dated as having been manufactured in March, 2011. All rations were produced by the same firm. They are military style “heat in the bag” rations in foil paper, known as MRE, or Meals Ready (to) Eat in the US.
Here are two pictures taken by Bays. The second pack was manufactured in 2010. Please click on the images for their full size.

Reuters Abdurrahaman Shalgam, one of the highest-ranking Libyan defectors, told Corriere della Sera TV he believed Gaddafi was negotiating for asylum with either another African country or Belarus. “He is manoeuvring for three things — to leave the country, to have money and to be shielded from the International Criminal Court,” said Shalgam, who still serves as Libya’s ambassador to the United Nations. He believes Gaddafi will leave the country in two or three weeks at the most. Longing4Libya

U.S. Says Gadhafi Might Flee Tripoli

WASHINGTON—New U.S. intelligence shows Col. Moammar Gadhafi is “seriously considering” fleeing Tripoli for a more secure location outside the capital, according to U.S. officials, raising the prospect that the Libyan leader’s hold on power is increasingly fragile.
The intelligence depicts a Libyan leader who “doesn’t feel safe anymore” in Tripoli because of stepped-up strikes by North Atlantic Treaty Organization aircraft and by battlefield gains by rebel forces, according to a senior U.S. national-security official briefed on the recent reports that the intelligence community has shared with the White House and other agencies.
The timing behind any possible move isn’t known …

Colombian women among Kadhafi fighters, rebels say
Moamer Kadhafi’s government is using Colombian mercenaries to fight revolutionary forces, according to Misrata residents.
The rebels alleged that they captured several Colombian women belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the early days of the Libyan uprising.

There are a lot of women in Misrata who were recruited by Kadhafi to defend him," al-Misrati asserted. “It is said that he had brought them when they were little and trained them. They are loyal to him because he raised them. Therefore, they are prepared to die for him.”
Youssef Afat, a journalist at a Misrata radio station, said that “five women snipers were arrested, two at Ben Salah apartment building and three at al-Taemeen apartment building. However, according to revolutionaries’ sources, those who were arrested at Ben Salah apartment building were not armed; they were there just to satisfy the desires of soldiers who were there.”
“But there were other women snipers like the three who were arrested at al-Taemeen,” he said. “They were from Serbia, Columbia and Mali.”
Steel plant employee Haitham al-Sahati was wounded in the clashes and also reported Colombian fighters in Misrata.

Gaddafi’s weakness – oil
The media has focused on front lines in the Libyan conflict, but fuel supplies are far more likely to be the decisive factor
According to a Reuters report on 20 June, the Libyan rebels in Jebel Nafusa, south of Tripoli, have shut off the pipeline that brings crude oil from the far south-west to the refinery at Zawia, on the coast just west of Tripoli. This report, which seems to be confirmed, is important.
Media coverage of the fighting in Libya has concentrated on various front lines which are themselves of not much significance, given that most of the country is desert. It makes more sense to think in terms of lines of supply. The recent blacklisting of six Libyan ports is far more significant than quite dramatic movements up or down the desert road.

Libyan officers flee by boat to Tunisia: report
TUNIS (Reuters) – - Nineteen police and army officers were among a new group of Libyan refugees who arrived in Tunisia by boat this week, the Tunisian news agency TAP reported on Friday.
The boat carrying a total of 49 refugees arrived on Thursday in the port of El Ketef by the Libyan border, the latest in a string of boat arrivals there since the start of an uprising against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi four months ago.
Dozens of Libyan officials, including the foreign minister and the top energy official, have fled since February when a revolt began against the 41-year rule of Gaddafi.
Earlier this week TAP quoted three senior army officers who arrived at the same port on Wednesday as saying the death toll from the conflict exceeded 15,000. It did not say how the officers obtained that toll.
Gaddafi has repeatedly vowed on state television broadcasts to fight until the end. His government says its military capability has not been seriously undermined by defections.

Cries of support at pro-Gadhafi rally in Tripoli
By ADAM SCHRECK, Associated Press –
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Supporters of Moammar Gadhafi rallied Thursday in Tripoli after the Libyan leader lashed out at NATO over civilian casualties, calling the alliance “murderers” following an airstrike on the family home of a close associate.
A few hundred supporters, most of them women, gathered in the capital’s Green Square hours after the late-night speech, vowing to defend the Libyan leader against rebels seeking to oust him and NATO forces giving them air support.

NATO Warplanes Conduct Raids on Qaddafi Forces on Front Line Near Misrata

NATO carried out at least 15 air strikes on Libyan government positions close to Misrata, almost 10 days after warning forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi to end their bombardment of the rebel-held area.
The raids could be seen from the nearby village of Dafniya, where some of the rebels are positioned.
“There were just flames everywhere, great explosions,” said a bearded rebel fighter dressed in black fatigues who identified himself only was Hamid. “We could hear the planes, there was bombing from Dafniya to the sea.”

Libyan rebel ambassador: Get it together, Washington!
The Libyan rebels are running out of money, but the Obama administration and Congress can’t get their act together to provide urgently needed help to those fighting against Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi, according to the rebel’s top envoy in Washington.
In a nondescript office building in northwest Washington, Ali Aujali, the U.S. representative of Libya’s Benghazi-based Transitional National Council (TNC), sits behind an empty desk in a bare office. Once Qaddafi’s official ambassador, he defected to the rebels in February and stayed in Washington as their liaison with the U.S. government.
His singular mission in Washington is to convince the administration and Congress to give the rebels access to the frozen assets of the Qaddafi regime. Four months into his mission, he is baffled by the lack of progress.

We must hold firm on Libya
Civilian deaths have led to doubts over Nato’s Libya campaign. Yet to stop now would be a huge defeat for humanitarian order
Nato’s operation in the air over Libya started on 19 March under a UN resolution and at the specific request of the Arab League. Its immediate effect was to ensure that Benghazi was not overrun by the Gaddafi forces who were poised for victory.
To ensure there was no Russian or Chinese veto, and to satisfy some EU members who were not ready to be part of a military intervention, it was necessary to strictly limit Nato’s activity.

How Misurata shaped young Gaddafi

The city which helped propel him into power is now a thorn in Libyan leader’s side.
Fifty years ago a young Muammar Gaddafi was welcomed into the city of Misurata which became an important part of his life.

The Libyan leader was educated in the city which played a leading role in the coup d’etat which brought Gaddafi to power.

But now Libya’s third-largest city is a thorn in Gaddafi’s side, remaining steadfastly in the hands of anti-government rebels.

Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley reports on Gaddafi’s legacy in the city that has become a key battleground in the fight for control of Libya.

The Stakes in the Political Fight over Libya

The House of Representatives is poised to vote on a measure limiting financing (NYT) for the U.S. military engagement in Libya, part of an escalating political push-back on the legality and purpose of the NATO campaign that began in March. Last week a coalition of ten members of Congress (Politico), led by anti-war Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Walter Jones (R-NC), sued President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates in federal court, arguing U.S. military action in the conflict is unconstitutional. But while debate about whether Obama has violated the 1973 War Powers Resolution is dominating discussion, there are also questions about the mission in Libya, the role of NATO, and how long the commitment there should last.

Kadhafi ‘may abandon’ bombed capital, rebels seek arms
By Imed Lamloum (AFP) – 6 hours ago
TRIPOLI — Moamer Kadhafi is considering leaving the capital Tripoli following blistering NATO air raids, a report said, as Libya’s rebels hinted they may allow him to remain in the country if he stands down.
The Wall Street Journal Friday quoted a senior US national security official as saying American intelligence shows Kadhafi “doesn’t feel safe anymore” in the capital where he has ruled for over four decades.
However, officials told the paper they did not see the move as imminent and did not believe Kadhafi would leave the country, a key demand of Libyan rebels who have been battling his forces in a month-old stalemate.
Kadhafi is believed to have numerous safe houses and other facilities both within the capital and outside of it to which he might relocate.
Rebel spokesman Mahmud Shamam told French daily Le Figaro the insurgents were in indirect contact with the regime and may be prepared to allow Kadhafi to stay in Libya, but that he and his family must agree to leave power

Libya rebels ‘in secret talks’ with Tripoli underground
The Libyan rebels in the east are in close contact with an underground network of opponents of Col Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli, the BBC has learnt.
A member of the rebels’ National Transitional Council (NTC) in Benghazi revealed they were holding secret talks to prepare for the regime’s fall.
The member said the talks were being held via Skype and satellite phones.
The rebels want to gauge the impact of pressure from Nato air strikes and shortages on morale in Tripoli.
Secondly, they want to involve the Tripoli underground opposition in their general strategy for ousting Col Gaddafi, so that if anyone is emboldened to take to the streets again in the capital it is woven into a bigger plan.
Nightly talks
They call them the “Tripoli Five” – the five members of the NTC who, from their stronghold of Benghazi, every night contact the network of more than 100 people in Tripoli.

NATO boss says coalition will finish Libya mission
NATO’s chief on Thursday dismissed a call from Italy for a suspension of hostilities in Libya and tried to reassure wavering members of the western coalition that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi can be beaten.
Italy’s ceasefire call exposed the strain on the NATO alliance, nearly 14 weeks into a bombing campaign that has so far failed to dislodge Gadhafi but is causing mounting concerns about its financial cost and civilian casualties.
Highlighting the wider consequences of the war in the North African oil-producing nation, big consuming countries announced a move to release reserves from oil stockpiles to fill the gap left by disruption to Libyan output.

Libyan Rebels in Misrata Want NATO Attacks, End to Weapons Ban

June 24 (Bloomberg) — Libyan rebels in Misrata called for the United Nations to lift an arms embargo and NATO to counter the rocketing of the besieged western city by forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi.
The insurgents say restrictions on their acquisition of heavy weapons and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s failure to counter the bombardment of Misrata’s urban areas by pro-Qaddafi forces have hamstrung their ability to widen the enclave.
“We need help in two directions: for NATO to change its attack technique, and also we should get better weapons,” Fathi Bashaga, a rebel spokesman, said late yesterday. “I am asking the UN and NATO to allow us to buy the equipment and weapons because now we are in a difficult situation.”

Le président français Nicolas Sarkozy a déclaré aujourd’hui que l’intervention militaire internationale en Libye avait “permis de sauver des vies” et continuerait “jusqu’au départ de M. Kadhafi”.

Au cours de ce sommet, a-t-il ajouté, “nous (les chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement des Vingt-sept) sommes bien convenus de ce que nous devons continuer jusqu’au départ de M. Kadhafi”.

“L’opération en Libye a permis de sauver des vies et sera poursuivie jusqu’au moment où les Libyens pourrons construire leur démocratie”, a-t-il insisté. “Aujourd’hui, tout le monde constate que les forces de M. Kadhafi reculent partout”, a poursuivi le président français, affirmant que “le soulèvement de la population est général”.

How will Libya shape NATO’s future?

Obama was recently asked to defend the US presence in Libya, after House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that the President had violated the War Powers Act by not getting congressional approval for the campaign.
But why exactly is the United States in Libya in the first place?
The US does, of course. want to protect oppressed people around the globe. And it wants to promote democracy and equality when the chance arises.
But Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow for defense policy Stephen Biddle says that the president was really pressured by NATO allies France and Germany, both of whom had more desire to support the Libyan rebels.

The Reuters news agency reports that the loss of Libyan oil output since February was a much bigger disruption to global oil supply than the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the southern United States hitting New Orleans, Louisiana especially hard in 2005, Richard Jones, the deputy head of the International Energy Agency told Reuters Insider TV.
On Thursday, the International Energy Agency which represents the major oil consumers agreed to release 60 million barrels from emergency stockpiles, sending crude prices tumbling.

Washington Post:
Despite gross mismanagement, the Libya war must still be won
Libya may not rise to the level of a “vital interest,” as Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and others have assured us, but preventing it from becoming a haven for terrorists if Gadhafi survives comes very close. And while Libya is not as important as Egypt, as Vice President Joe Biden has told us, what happens in Libya affects Egypt and much of the Arab world. The Libyan fighting has burdened Egypt’s weak economy with tens of thousands of additional unemployed that it can ill-afford. The same is true for Tunisia.

Precise and deadly: A pilot’s view of the Apache
The UK’s Army Air Corps is currently using four Apache helicopters in the conflict in Libya. Ed Macy flew the aircraft for five years and won a Military Cross for his heroism – he describes what it’s like to pilot the £42m machine.
Ed Macy’s part in the rescue of an injured marine in Afghanistan in 2007 reads like the script from an action film.
There was a vicious firefight, a 2000lb bomb was dropped to disguise the helicopter’s arrival and two marines were strapped to the side of the helicopter.
“It’s like strapping yourself to the roof of a car at 100mph,” says the 45-year-old former helicopter pilot.

The Army Air Corps has 67 of the £42m machines and training each pilot costs around £3m.
“Everything is based around the pilot and the gunner’s right eye,” he explains. "You can just look, see and fire.
“You have to understand the information that is on a lens one inch from your eye – any time, day or night, flying low, while your other eye is looking to infinity.
“That’s just the flying, then you’ve got the weapons systems.”
The intensity of the 18-month Apache course has seen pilots and instructors with more than 5,000 flying hours drop out.

Gates backs continued funding for U.S. military operation in Libya
Washington (CNN) — Outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday it would be a mistake for Congress to cut funding for U.S. military operations in Libya.
“I think, once we have our forces engaged, to deny them funding would be a mistake,” Gates told PBS News. U.S. allies — particularly the British, the French and the Italians — consider Libya a vital interest, and “our alliance with them is a vital interest for us,” he said, citing their efforts in Afghanistan.

Europe “doing the work” in Libya: Sarkozy
(Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday rebuffed criticism of Europe’s role in the Libyan war by outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates, saying Washington’s allies were “doing the work”.
“It was particularly inappropriate for Mr. Gates to say that, and what is more, completely false, given what is going in Libya,” Sarkozy told reporters at an EU summit in Brussels.

“There are certainly other moments in history when he could have said that, but not when Europeans have courageously taken the Libyan issue in hand, and when France and Britain, with their allies, for the most part, are doing the work.”

Libyan rebels held by Gadhafi returned to Benghazi
BENGHAZI, Libya — A spokeswoman for the Red Cross says dozens of rebels who had been detained by Gadhafi forces have been returned to their eastern stronghold of Benghazi.
The spokeswoman Deeba Makhlouf says a ship carrying 51 prisoners docked in Benghazi on Friday. She says 249 people from the West wishing to be reunited with family in eastern Libya also were on board.
Makhlouf says the Red Cross is returning to Tripoli to bring more families and prisoners back to the de-facto rebel capital.
Rebel leaders in Benghazi did not confirm if this was part of a prisoner swap deal.

Washington (CNN) — The House of Representatives is expected to officially register its disapproval of U.S. involvement in the NATO-led Libya campaign Friday, voting to restrict funding for America’s role in the mission.
The Republican-sponsored bill, which would effectively prohibit any U.S. role in offensive operations, is seen as a sharp rebuke of President Barack Obama’s policy in the war-torn North African country.
It would limit the U.S. role to non-hostile actions such as search and rescue, aerial refueling, operational planning, intelligence gathering, and reconnaissance.

Libyan Advocacy
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come Victor Hugo

The maturity of revolution is usually pretty long, The French revolution 1789 as a base for most contemporary revolts had a very strong philosophical and moral foundation by great men such as V. Hugo, Volunteer, Decart, Hegel, Kant, Russo and many other great European philosophers, that revolution let free the human mind and thought to get where we are today. The revolution’s motto was: `hang the last King by the intestines of the last priest’.” thus eliminating religion sects, factions, racial ethnics and social rank, paving the way to build equality and nationalism. To the contrary the Iranian revolution which was seeking democracy and freedom ended up as a worse dictatorship than the one it overthrew, simply cos it had no philosophical basis. Woman became basically a possession instead of a human. Thus I wish for the Libyan woman to have all the valour to fetch their full rights as equal humans and rise above the sick depiction depicted by Bedouins for woman. And surmount ailing beliefs and primeval traditions that degrades woman as defilement thus making half of the society defunct. Time is ripe

AFP reports that troops loyal to Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi are using rockets packed with ball bearings to bombard civilians in rebel-held Misurata in the west, Amnesty International charged on Friday.
The rights group said in a statement that at least three civilians – two women and a 14-year-old boy – were killed recently when rockets slammed into a residential neighbourhood of the port city.
“These rockets are indiscriminate weapons which cannot be directed at a particular target and their use may amount to war crimes,” the Amnesty statement said. Misurata is the rebels’ most significant enclave in western Libya.
“Families in Misurata are once again living in fear of being killed as rockets rain down on their homes and it’s impossible for the terrified residents to find safe shelter,” said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s Senior Crisis Response Adviser.
The rights group said that after 14-year-old Ibrahim Ali Boushiba was killed in an attack on June 20, images of the rocket remains examined by Amnesty “show that it had been packed with ball bearings to maximise injuries.”
“Such attacks much cease immediately. Colonel Gaddafi and those around him and in his armed forces responsible for ordering and launching indiscriminate rocket attacks on Misurata’s residential neighbourhoods know full well that the victims will be civilians not involved in the conflict,” Rovera said.
“They must realise that their actions may result in their being made to answer one day to the most serious of charges, of having perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

They were fired by troops loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi from their positions in the valleys and plains below the Western Mountains, or Jebel Nafusa.
On this occasion, no-one was reported hurt.

After they’re done, they have a choice to create anything. Some made a fruit basket, a wolf, libyan flag,freedom4Libya. Some went as
Far as making an anti air craft machines,other bullets & even tanks with sand shields. I asked them to 4gt #libya 4 a sec
One kid was sitting in the corner, he looked v.upset, cap lowered, hiding those beautiful lashy I asked him to join the group
I wrote his name on a piece of paper so he could spell it out the clay so he did. Then sat rigidly, I asked to make something else
He nodded and still sat, so I asked him to move next to me. As soon as he moved he tried to avoid my eyes. But I held his, and
Asked him what’s up?. As soon as I spoke those words his eyes filled with tears, and I knew those long lashes held a heavy burden
So I told him to come outside for a lil chat. I followed him out. when we sat I let him cry. When he was done I asked him again.
He told me, he left his parents behind, that he misses his mum, his home, the mountains, he only wants #libya now
He’s only 10 but he spoke like a grown man. These kids know exactly what’s going on. This has affect them in every way
They’ve ran out of their homes, left their families in search of safety. But nothing compares to the security of their own homes.

MSF condemns any initiative that would send asylum seekers back to Libya
Rome/Brussels – With the European Council scheduled to meet again on Friday to discuss migration issues, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemns the terms of the bilateral agreement (memorandum of understanding) signed on June 17 between Italy and the Libyan National Transition Council.The agreement is intended to provide mutual aid and cooperation in the struggle against illegal immigration, specifically by repatriating illegal immigrants.
MSF is shocked that a belligerent State involved in the Libyan conflict would take such measures while a war is still underway. Furthermore, the persons arriving by boat from Libya are fleeing violence and need international protection. Repatriating these individuals or pushing them back to Libya would constitute a violation of the international obligation of non-refoulement.

Tunisia may recognise Libya rebels

Tunisia opened a trade office in Benghazi as part of increased ties with Libya’s opposition.
The chairman of Libya’s Transitional National Council (TNC) visited Tunis on Saturday (June 18th) as part of efforts to win recognition of the rebel government.
“The humanitarian aid that the people and government of Tunisia have offered, and the brotherly positions that they have taken, far exceed the issue of recognising the TNC,” rebel leader Mustapha Abdel Jalil said after meeting with Interim Tunisian Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi.
The TNC chairman noted that several Arab states have recognised the council as the sole representative of the Libya people. Abdel Jalil added, “We’ve now come to matters that are much greater than recognition, and our arrival in Tunis at an invitation from the President of Tunisia is in itself recognition.”
After lauding the assistance provided by Tunisia to displaced Libyans, the rebel leader expressed his optimism about the future of Libyan-Tunisian relations, noting that Tunisians would have the greater share in the reconstruction of Libya in the post-Kadhafi era. Tunisia opened an office in Benghazi on Monday (June 20th) to facilitate trade.

Over 9,000 Algerian and foreign nationals crossed border centres of Dabdab and Tin El Koum in Illizi province southern-east of Algeria on the border with Libya, since the eruption of armed clashes there, Algeria’s daily Echourouk reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper quoted a local source as saying that 8,890 nationals were deported to their country of origin, including 3, 984 Libyans, while 390 other Libyans are still in Algeria after joining their Algerian relatives. They crossed borders to seek food stuffs in Algerian border cities, the source added.
The source specified that the 1,601 refugees are from Mali, 887 from Mauritania, 783 from Algeria, 738 from Egypt, 294 from Vietnam, and 200 from Bangladesh, while the rest are from other nationalities.
Algerian authorities have set up a joint body on border crossing centres of Dabdab and Tin El Koum, composed of national army units, fire fighting units, Algerian Red Cross representatives, and state energy company Sonatrach. The body is in charge of welcoming the refugees, hosting them and then carrying them to their country of origin.

Nato forces are confident they are successfully tracking Colonel Muammar Gaddafi as he moves from hideout to hideout in Tripoli, the Guardian has learned.
But the coalition is abiding by the UN mandate, which does not permit the military to target the Libyan leader directly – commanders are still hoping that he will be removed by a revolt from within his circle of closest associates.
There is also a privately held wish in Whitehall that Gaddafi might be caught up in a legitimate bombing raid on a command and control cell as he flits from one safe haven to another.

Libyan swap of detainees may signal broader talks
June 24, 2011
Posted in News, Week Commencing: June 20 | 17:28

BENGHAZI, Libya, June 24 (Reuters) – Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has released dozens of rebel supporters and allowed them to sail back to Benghazi on Friday in a move that could mark the beginning of broader talks between the adversaries.
In a transfer facilitated by the Red Cross, a ship carrying about 50 men detained by Gaddafi forces in western Libya docked in Benghazi’s harbour alongside hundreds of other refugees.
“These are mainly civilians…Among them there are 51 people who were detained in Tripoli but were released by the government there so we brought them back,” said Dibeh Fakhr, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Benghazi.
Pointing at the vessel, festooned with opposition flags and a Red Cross banner, she said a total of several hundred people, including 66 former detainees, were scheduled to come back from Tripoli in two rotations.
In the other direction, 110 Tripoli residents trapped in the east would be allowed to sail to the capital, she said.
Rebel sources said the swap underlined Gaddafi’s weakness and willingness to discuss ways out of a war in the oil-rich North African nation that has been deadlocked since February.
Rebels said on Friday they were having indirect contacts with Tripoli on a possible political settlement under which Gaddafi would step down and pave the way for a new leadership.
“For Gaddafi, this release shows that he is weak and ready to step down,” said one rebel source. “He is the one who is initiating these talks. Otherwise why would this have happened?”
This view contrasted sharply with the sentiment in Tripoli where Gaddafi vowed in a state television broadcast this week to fight on until the end. Tripoli officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
Separately, a rebel spokesman said they had earlier released five Gaddafi supporters and sent them back back to the west.
As the ship dropped anchor, crowds of Benghazi residents whistled and waved Libya’s opposition, monarchy-era flags.
Leaning from the handrails of the ship, passengers chanted: “Libya is for strong men. We don’t need Muammar and his family”. Smaller vessels escorting the boat into the harbour blasted their horns in greeting.
One passenger, who gave his name only as Murat, said: “I am from Benghazi. I am happy to be back. I was a prisoner in Tripoli. I don’t want to say anything more.”
Some were puzzled at the sudden changes of fortune for their family members whom they did not expect to see any time soon.
“My uncle was captured during a battle near Brega and has been in Tripoli all this time,” said Honaida Shuweihidin, 25.
“It’s very strange he was released. I don’t understand why. It’s a good idea. We are all brothers, one country. Revolution will come to Tripoli too.”

ANSWER: Actually I asked him this gd question. He says they want G to know so G moves his units- makes it easier to strike

TW: then it’s just deliberate misinformation campaign by NATO to make Gaddafi units more vulnerable

Gaddafi “down to a handful of followers, who rule by fear.” may have “threatened to kill generals who do not deliver results around Misrata”

Of 5,000 attack missions, of which 2,400 had hit regime targets – suggesting a less than 50% success rate – Major General Nick Pope

It is ridiculous that some polticians call for a halt in Libya bombing citing civilian casualties.

The same politicians have endorsed and continue to endorse bombing in Afghanistan which kills w/o exaggeration 1000 times as many civilians.

Nato lacks firepower to ensure collapse of Gaddafi regime, experts claim
Nato lacks the firepower to ensure the collapse of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, defence experts warned on Friday after the Libyan army inflicted a sustained rocket attacks on the western city of Misurata.
The Western alliance marks 100 days of bombing Libya on Sunday with political leaders adamant that the regime, which violently crushed a popular uprising in February, is isolated and collapsing from within.
However defence analysts said it has still not identified a clear line of attack that would break the veteran leader’s grip on power.
“This campaign is about inflicting pain on the regime but there is no precedent where air power alone has taken a government down without encircling the city,” said Shashank Joshi, of the Royal United Services Institute.

Aid worher in Tunisia:

In Tunisia Gaddafi’s people have been caught supplying children with alcohol & drugs to incite hatred with revolutionaries.

When we first got here a group of three drivers were sitting in a coach watching us, they shouted “long live Gaddafi’s revolution”

We sat with the 15 yr old #Libya(n) kids again today. We asked them what they wanted in the new free Libya when they go back.
So many wouldn’t talk at first, saying it didn’t matter what they wanted. We asked what the point of the revolution was
They replied “so we could be free & talk freely”. We asked why they didn’t, they were stumped. They then agreed to talk on camera

Most of the class agreed to be filmed on the condition their identity was hidden “they will take me when I go back”
Everytime I say they have a chance to talk freely they reply “But he can take our families.” “I want to be able to go back”
Yesterday two 10yr olds came over and we asked what they were up to today, they replied “we’re going home to #Libya”
I also did origami with the yr5 & 6 classes. They absolutely loved it, so quick and eager to learn.
The kids from other classes run up to me each day and tell me how they remember to make origami boats I showed them
A kid ran up to me with an A3 piece of cardboard he found “I need help with the last stage” he’d made a giant boat.

Il a aussi mentionné un bataillon de 150 militaires “disparus” pour s’être opposés à des “ordres insensés”. Pour ce militaire, le colonel Kadhafi est devenu un “Satan” auteur de “crimes horribles”.

“Nous vivons des drames tous les jours. Chaque heure, il y a des victimes qui tombent”, a renchéri un autre officier. Il a avancé un bilan de plus de 15.000 morts depuis le début de la crise libyenne et estimé le nombre de prisonniers à plus de 30.000.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN REGARDING THE HOUSE VOTE ON LIBYA
June 24, 2011
Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) made the following statement regarding the House of Representatives vote on Libya:
“I applaud members of the House of Representatives who defeated the resolution today that would have prohibited the United States from assisting the Libyan people in their fight for freedom and democracy. I look forward now to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, in both the Senate and the House, to pass an authorization for the limited use of force in Libya that fulfills our responsibilities and sends a message to Muammar Qaddafi, the liberation forces in Libya, and our NATO allies that the United States will achieve our stated objective of forcing Qaddafi to leave power.”

La résistance laisse la situation mûrir à Tripoli

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – L’emprise des services de sécurité de Mouammar Kadhafi sur Tripoli s’affaiblit mais demeure trop grande pour qu’un soulèvement puisse être tenté à court terme dans la capitale libyenne, estiment des opposants réunis au sein d’un réseau clandestin de la ville.
Ces activistes, qui demandent que l’on ne révèle ni leur identité ni le lieu de la rencontre, ont déclaré à Reuters que le colonel Kadhafi contrôlait Tripoli au moyen d’informateurs et en ordonnant rafles et meurtres en série.

Exclusive: Top U.S. admiral admits we are trying to kill Qaddafi
The top U.S. admiral involved in the Libya war admitted to a U.S. congressman that NATO forces are trying to kill Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi. The same admiral also said he anticipated the need for ground troops in Libya after Qaddafi falls, according to the lawmaker.
House Armed Services Committee member Mike Turner (R-OH) told The Cable that U.S. Admiral Samuel Locklear, commander of the NATO Joint Operations Command in Naples, Italy, told him last month that NATO forces are actively targeting and trying to kill Qaddafi, despite the fact that the Obama administration continues to insist that “regime change” is not the goal and is not authorized by the U.N

Glimpse of my current home of Misrata, Libya.
Day to day the people of Misrata wake up hoping the number of injuries and deaths may not be added to, and the all to familiar sound of rockets and gunfire remain silent. Waiting everyday for a change and movement towards the West to free the city, the people, and most of all the entire country of Libya.

Published on 24 JUNE
Defecting Libyan officers describe mutinous army and climate of fear
Libyan army officers defecting to Tunisia have described a country ruled by fear in which many soldiers are trying to leave.
Dozens of members of the army have fled the country in recent weeks, officials say, including 19 officers that arrived yesterday.
“We came here not to escape death but because of the massacre of the Libyan people. We refuse to kill the children of our country,” an officer, who refused to give his name for fear of retribution, told The Associated Press.
“Some of our colleagues just couldn’t handle it anymore and turned their weapons on themselves,” the officer said. “Some died while others were severely wounded.”
He said he and his fellow officers found the pressure to be unbearable and waited two months for the opportunity to flee.
Soon after popular uprisings erupted across Libya, especially in the eastern half, many of Gaddafi’s army units fell apart, their members defecting to the revolutionary side or fleeing to Tunisia.
Revolutionaries, after overrunning government strongholds in the east, described finding Gaddafi government soldiers bound and shot through the end, apparently for disobeying orders.
Gaddafi, however, has maintained a well equipped core force of special brigades outside the regular military run by his sons and augmented by foreign fighters that have been remarkably effective against the revolutionary fighters.
“We are living a tragedy every day, with new victims falling by the hour,” said another of the three officers interviewed by the AP, He estimated that some 15,000 people had died so far in the civil war.
Defecting Libyan soldiers and police have sailed boats along the coast and trekked through the desert to cross the border, where they are met by Tunisian forces.
“They give us their weapons and we take them to a safe location, some of them join their families who already fled to Tunisia,” said Mokhtar Ben Nasr, spokesman for the Defence Minister. He declined to say how many have defected.
The International Organization of Migration estimates 193,986 third country nationals have crossed into Tunisia since Feb. 20.

REUTERS:

(Reuters) – NATO missiles have hit a site in Libya used by Muammar Gaddafi’s forces to stockpile military supplies and vehicles, the alliance said on Saturday, adding it was unaware of 15 civilian deaths reported by state media.
The attack late on Friday was the second within hours on what NATO said were clearly identified military targets in the coastal city of Brega, around 200 km (130 miles) west of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
Libyan state television said a local bakery and a restaurant had been hit, wounding 20 people in addition to the 15 dead. State news agency Jana said a strike in the same area earlier on Friday had killed five civilians.
“We have no indications of any civilian casualties in connection to these strikes,” a NATO official said.
“What we know is that the buildings we hit were occupied and used by pro-Gaddafi forces to direct attacks against civilians around Ajdabiya,” the official said of a nearby rebel-held town.
“Unlike the pro-Gaddafi forces, we go to great lengths to reduce the possibility of any civilian casualties.”
Separately, a Reuters correspondent in the capital Tripoli heard a total of four loud explosions as jets flew overhead on two occasions on Saturday. The blasts appeared to come from the eastern suburb of Tajura. Several other explosions shook the city late on Friday.
CREDIBILITY
NATO acknowledged for the first time last week that one of its raids in a three-month campaign could have caused civilian casualties, prompting concerns within the alliance.
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said NATO’s credibility was at stake and called for a suspension in the campaign — an appeal that was swiftly knocked down at NATO headquarters and by allies, including France and Britain.
In a televised address this week, Gaddafi branded NATO “murderers” and vowed to fight to the death to stay in power.
The bombing campaign of the NATO-led coalition is into its fourth month in support of Libyan rebels seeking to end Gaddafi’s 41-year-old rule.
Recent progress has been slow and rebels have taken many casualties, but there are signs Gaddafi’s forces are also being stretched and the local economy hit by international sanctions.
In what would be a morale-booster for rebels if they hear about it, four members of Libya’s national football team and 13 other football figures defected to rebels, the BBC reported.
It said national goalkeeper Juma Gtat and Adel bin Issa, the coach of Tripoli’s top club al-Ahly, announced the defections in the rebel-held Nafusa Mountains in western Libya.

Libyan rebels held by Gaddafi returned to Benghazi
BENGHAZI (Libya): Dozens of detained rebels returned Friday on a Red Cross ship to their eastern stronghold, detailing how they were tortured at the hands of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s forces.

The ship carrying 51 prisoners also brought back 249 people who wanted to be reunited with family in eastern Libya, Red Cross spokeswoman Deepa Fakhir said. It was not immediately clear whether there had been a prisoner swap with the Gaddafi government.

“They electrocuted us, they tortured us in every possible way,” said Yousef al-Fetori, who had been detained in the capital of Tripoli. “They broke my ribs, hand and leg.”

The Red Cross spokeswoman denied that there were any prisoners from Benghazi being swapped on board.

However, a spokesman for the rebels’ transitional government said five prisoners had previously been sent back to Tripoli, though the rebels had not been aware the Red Cross was returning people to Benghazi.

The Libyan rebels began their uprising four months ago against Gaddafi, who has been in power since 1969. The conflict has turned into a civil war, and Gaddafi’s forces are accused of orchestrating deadly attacks on civilians.

A coalition including France, Britain and the United States began striking Gaddafi’s forces under a United Nations resolution to protect civilians on March 19. NATO assumed control of the air campaign over Libya on March 31 and is joined by a number of Arab allies.

At least two explosions were felt in Tripoli on Friday night, indicating new airstrikes, though there was no word on what might have been targeted. Earlier in the day, a couple hundred government supporters gathered and fired automatic rifles into the air in the capital’s central Green Square.

NATO said it struck multiple Libyan government command-and-control sites near the eastern oil town of Brega on Friday. The town has been a frequent flashpoint between rebels and Gaddafi’s forces.

The alliance said government forces had moved into buildings in an abandoned area of Brega and started using them as military compounds to launch strikes on civilians, putting rebel-held cities such as Ajdabiya and Benghazi at risk.

“This continues to show Qadhafi’s reprehensible tactics of placing military assets and operations at the heart of civilian neighborhoods,” said Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, commander of NATO’s Libya operation. “We have meticulously monitored these developments for a significant period and it was time to remove this threat.”

The rebels have taken over much of the eastern half of Libya. They also control pockets in the west, including the vital port city of Misrata, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from the capital.

Judges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, have said they will rule Monday on whether to order Gaddafi’s arrest.

A warrant would turn Gaddafi into an internationally wanted war crimes suspect at risk of detention if he traveled to ICC member states. However, the ICC has no police force and relies on participating countries to arrest suspects.

NYT:
Rebels Arm Tripoli Guerrillas and Cut Resources to Capital

ROGEBAN, Libya — Having consolidated control over almost all of Libya’s western mountains, rebel leaders here say they are now pursuing a two-pronged strategy to bring down the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi: starving it of resources while covertly arming a growing guerrilla force within Tripoli itself.

Three powerful explosions struck on Saturday the eastern Tripoli suburb of Tajura, the site of a number of military installations, AFP correspondents said.
The explosions took place around 2:45pm (1245 GMT), and columns of smoke could be seen from the centre of the capital. Tajura has been the repeated target of NATO air strikes against the forces of Muammar Gaddafi, but it was not immediately known whether the blasts resulted from such an attack.

Two loud explosions were heard in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Saturday as jets flew over the city, a Reuters witness reported.

Libya soccer players defect

London – Four members of Libya’s national football team and 13 other Libyan football figures have defected to rebels, in a propaganda blow to Muammar Gaddafi, the BBC reported on Saturday.

It said national goalkeeper Juma Gtat and Adel bin Issa, the coach of Tripoli’s top club al-Ahly, announced the defections in the rebel-held Nafusa Mountains in western Libya.

“I am telling Colonel Gaddafi to leave us alone and allow us to create a free Libya,” the BBC quoted Gtat as saying at a hotel in the town of Jadu.

“In fact I wish he would leave this life altogether.”

Gaddafi has suffered a series of defections by military officers, diplomats and members of his government, but has resisted efforts by rebels backed by a Nato bombing campaign to dislodge him after four decades in power.

Bin Issa told the BBC he had chosen to come to the Western Mountains “to send a message that Libya should be unified and free”, adding: “I hope to wake up one morning to find that Gaddafi is no longer there.”

Nieuw F-16-detachement Libië
Het F-16-detachement van Vliegbasis Leeuwarden dat de afgelopen drie maanden boven Libië vloog, ook wel het 1(NLD) Fixed Wing Element genoemd, geeft maandag het stokje over aan het F-16-detachement van Volkel. Dit gebeurt tijdens een korte ceremoniële commando-overdracht op vliegbasis Decimomannu op Sardinië.

Nederland levert sinds eind maart een bijdrage aan operatie Unified Protector. Deze missie richt zich op het beschermen van de bevolking, het toezicht houden op de naleving van het wapenembargo en het handhaven van de no-fly zone boven Libië. Hiermee wordt invulling gegeven aan resolutie 1973 van de VN Veiligheidsraad. Op zee wordt de operatie uitgevoerd door de mijnenjager Hr. Ms. Haarlem. In de lucht werd het spits afgebeten door het F-16-detachement van Vliegbasis Leeuwarden.

Pionieren

Eind maart vertrok het 105-koppige detachement naar vliegbasis Decimomannu op Sardinië. “Er zat minder dan 20 uur tussen het moment dat het parlement toestemming verleende en ons vertrek”, blikt de commandant van de eenheid, luitenant-kolonel Johan van Deventer, terug. Op de Italiaanse basis bleken de voorzieningen voor het uitvoeren van de missie nog niet beschikbaar. “Het was pionieren en improviseren om alles in te richten; van kantoor- en onderhoudruimtes tot slaapverblijven”. Gelijktijdig startte het detachement met de dagelijkse vluchten. Van Deventer: “Ik ben dan ook enorm trots dat mijn mensen een goed lopend vliegbedrijf achterlaten.”

Indruk

Het F-16 detachement controleert ook het wapenembargo. “Wij zijn effectief geweest”, aldus Van Deventer, “want sinds wij de no-fly zone controleren, hebben de troepen van Qaddafi niet meer gevlogen en is de bevolking niet meer vanuit de lucht aangevallen.” Naast het bewaken van het Libische luchtruim, vergaren de straaljagers ook inlichtingen.

Met de sensoren aan boord van de jachtvliegtuigen wordt een grond- en zeebeeld opgebouwd, zodat verdachte voertuigen en schepen gericht kunnen worden gecontroleerd. “Met de sensoren ervaar je de strijd op de grond van zeer nabij. Je ziet de gevechten en de raketinslagen naast de vluchtelingenkampen. Je bent getuige van het oorlogsgeweld en dat maakte best indruk op de vliegers”, aldus de detachementcommandant. In totaal voerde het detachement de afgelopen maanden 323 vluchten uit.

Op verzoek van de NAVO werd op 10 juni besloten tot een verlenging van de Nederlandse bijdrage aan operatie Unified Protector van drie maanden. Het F-16-detachement van Vliegbasis Volkel voert dus de komende drie maanden de luchtoperaties uit. Deze eenheid staat onder leiding van luitenant-kolonel Andre Steur.

Tripoli on Lockdown: Inside Gaddafi’s Reign of Terror
In spite of its rapproachement with the West over the past few years, Libya has always remained the North Korea of the Arab world, its regime as paranoid and closed and prone to unpredictable violence as the Kim dynasty of Pyongyang. And now that the reign of Muammar Gaddafi is imploding, all the totalitarian horrors in his armory — both weapons and propaganda — are being hauled out for open warfare. What was always a kingdom built on fear has become even more so as state-sponsored terrorism rules the streets of Tripoli. Few dare to speak openly, but TIME reached a Libyan in Gaddafi’s capital by phone who, for a few minutes, was willing to speak his mind

UK ground attack aircraft and destroyer take on Gaddafi’s forces
The Ministry of Defence has revealed details about the latest missions undertaken by British ground attack aircraft and a warship in Libya.
RAF Tornados went into action yesterday near Brega, attacking a radar station, three command and control centres located in buildings commandeered by the regime and a warehouse complex used to stockpile military supplies.
The attacks followed sustained and intensive surveillance to confirm the use of the various buildings by regime troops and the absence of civilians.
Overnight Apache attack helicopters from HMS Ocean followed up with further successful strikes in the area. They destroyed three armed military vehicles and successfully engaged numerous infantry positions at various points around Brega, including the airfield.
But it was also a busy night for HMS Liverpool off Zlitan. The destroyer fired a barrage of illumination rounds to aid NATO reconnaissance operations against regime forces which have continued to pose a threat to the local population in and around Misratah.

Confessions of a Briber
According to Transparency International’s 2010 Corruption Perception Index, Libya received a humiliating score of 2.2 of out 10. This score placed Libya in 146th place (along with Yemen) out of the 178 countries examined, and bettering only Iraq (1.5) out of all the countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. But even without such a result we know that corruption has been unavoidable in Libya. All of us have contributed to Libya’s result on the corruption index.
We have read and heard about government officials who filched billions of dinars from the nation’s treasury and who derived benefits from contracts signed on behalf of the country. Many of our businessmen received tenders on the condition that the officials granting the contract benefit from them. Yet, this is not the only contribution to corruption in Libya. Of vital importance has been the average citizens’ (like you and I) participation, which has integrated corruption into our dealings.

NATO blasted at least two targets in Tripoli overnight Tuesday, as rebel forces seized another town on the strategic route towards the capital. In the US however, military leaders voiced concerns over the pace and sustainability of the mission.
Two powerful explosions shook Tripoli late Tuesday following a three-day pause in NATO air raids, as rebels made advances against forces loyal to Moamer Kadhafi by taking a village southwest of the Libyan capital.

The rebels seized Al-Rayaniya, a village east of the heavily fought-over hilltown of Zintan in the mainly Berber Nafusa mountains, southwest of Tripoli, an AFP correspondent reported.

Word has it in the Rixos lobby that a famous BBC reporter was allowed entry to Libya only to be licked out a short while later

Mohammed Bujuna’s last wish was that his story be told to the world on Facebook when he died. Mohammed’s mother recounts his bravery, fearlessness, and desire to demonstrate for freedom of his country. Video footage captures his last moments after he was shot in the chest, as an unarmed protester, by Gaddafi forces. His last words to the world were “There is no God but God, and Mohammed (PBUH) is his messenger.”

Libyan Rebels Plan Broader Coordination
June 25011
Posted in News, Week Commencing: June 20 | 22:32
TRIPOLI, Libya—Libyan rebel representatives said their fighters were coordinating around the country for the “zero hour” when their forces would reach the capital of Tripoli.
Rebel spokesman Abdel-Hafidh Ghoga in Benghazi said his group has been informed that Col. Gadhafi is in contact with leaders in South Africa and France in an attempt to find a possible home in exile. Such claims have been filtering out for weeks, but there is no evidence that the Libyan leader is seeking a way out.
The bombing campaign led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that has boosted the rebel cause appeared to continue Saturday, with at least two explosions heard in the capital of Tripoli.
It was not immediately clear what the airstrikes hit, but Libyan government authorities accused NATO of killing 15 people in an earlier airstrike that hit a restaurant and bakery in the coastal city of Brega, a claim that NATO denied.
It was the latest outcry from Col. Gadhafi’s government blaming NATO for killing civilians amid a four-month uprising. NATO insists it does all it can to avoid such casualties.
A NATO official said alliance warplanes had hit several targets in the vicinity of Brega Friday, but dismissed claims that the attacks had resulted in civilian casualties.
“We have no indications of any civilian casualties in connection with these strikes,” said the official, who spoke on condition on anonymity. “What we know is that the buildings we hit were occupied and used by pro-Gadhafi forces to direct attacks against civilians around Ajdabiya.”
Mr. Ghoga said Col. Gadhafi was to blame for civilian casualties in the fighting because “he keeps his weapons in highly populated civilian areas"

Situation Report and Policy Recommendations for Libya
According to a Situation Report on Libya released by the Libya Outreach Group on Friday, Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s forces are moving to the Western Mountains in an attempt to attack the Wazin border crossing, over 100 opposition fighters are receiving high-level military training in the Western Mountains, Gadhafi is considering fleeing Tripoli, the International Court is set to decide on Monday whether or not to issue an arrest warrest for Gadhafi, as well as many other discoveries. The report stated that there are “significant opportunities” for the international community, including recognizing the National Transitional Council as the sole representative of the Libyan people, unfreezing Gadhafi’s assets as a way to increase humanitarian relief efforts, lifting of air sanctions, and more. In addition, the report recommended that NATO should expand its mission into the Western Mountains and provide opposition fighters with weapons, NATO member nations and the NTC should provide more military training to the opposition fighters, NATO should also provide air coverage of oil fields and continue to put pressure on Tripoli. In addition, Gadhafi should be tried according to international law, and Washington must allow the NTC access to Gadhafi’s assets in an effort to support it’s operations. The report also stated that Libya should release the provisional constitutional for the public and to also continue making plans on how the country will operate after Gadhafi leaves.

Bombing in Brega has commenced again. NATO really hitting it hard today.

Libyan people never enjoyed Libya’s wealth. The Rixos, now occupied by foreign journos, was too expensive for most of Libya’s people.

Tasbeeh I rmbr driving thru Benghazi, saw a half-constructed hospital. Baba told me when he’d been in Libya 20yrs ago they’d just begun building it.

Many buildings in Libya are like that; half-built, sit solemn on dusty corners, occupied by rats.

The NYT always focuses on such details as “the Sorbonne-educated,” “eloquent” or “English-speaking” when writing about the Libyan ff’s.

WA student murdered by Gaddafi marksman
A Perth student has been murdered by soldiers loyal to dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s regime after returning home to Libya because he was worried about his family’s welfare.
The death of the 27-year-old University of WA English language student Omar Swyeb in April has raised fears among the several hundred Libyans studying in WA. Many say they and their children will be imprisoned or killed when their visas expire and they are forced to return home.
An investigation by _The Weekend West _also uncovered claims that a small contingent of students loyal to Gaddafi were spies for the regime in Perth and were taking names and photographs of rebel sympathisers to add to a Libyan secret police blacklist, which earmarked dissidents for death or prison.In the wake of the reports, the Greens will announce today that the party has moved in the Senate to have student visas for Libyans extended until the crisis in the war-torn country has been resolved.
On Curtin University campus yesterday, outside a small building set aside as a Muslim prayer room, many Libyan students said they were too afraid to be seen talking.
One 26-year-old who did not want to be named, said his brother had telephoned and warned him not to go back to Libya, because secret police had arrived at the family home after footage was posted on YouTube of him in a Perth protest.
One man who wasn’t afraid to speak out was Hamza Eldenferiq, Mr Swyeb’s best friend. They were both from the rebel-held western city of Misrata and Mr Eldenferiq is convinced he would be killed in Libya simply because of where he grew up.
Struggling to hold back tears, he spoke about the death of his friend, who had been “like a brother”.
Described as a happy young man who had enjoyed taking road trips around WA since arriving about a year ago, Mr Swyeb returned to his besieged home town of Misrata in March.
“He was always smiling, he had a sense of humour,” Mr Eldenferiq, 26, said. “He was worried about his family, because they are in trouble; that is why he went back.”
Bianca Panizza, director of UWA Centre for English Language Teaching, said staff had pleaded with the “very bright” student not to go.
But Mr Swyeb would not be deterred, dodging checkpoints by hitching a ride in Benghazi on a small boat smuggling guns into Misrata.
On April 24, he was among a group of rebels that clashed with soldiers invading the town.
“He was trying to push the soldiers to get out of Misrata because they were shooting civilians,” Mr Eldenferiq said.
“One of the snipers shot him in the heart.” Another friend, 41-year-old Curtin student Jalal Srar, said Mr Swyeb’s death proved how dangerous it was for Libyans to return home.
His student visa about to expire, he feared what would happen to his wife and three young children when they returned to Libya.
Other students were growing desperate because the study allowance from the Libyan Government they relied on had been cut off. Murdoch student, Wesa, 56, said it had been three months since he had received any money.
Every Libyan interviewed independently said that even in WA, they were not beyond the reach of the Gaddafi regime. Mr Eldenferiq had been warned by students who had defected from the pro-Gaddafi faction that there were spies working for the regime in Perth.
WA Greens Senator Scott Ludlam said his party’s motion came after the precedent set by former Labor prime minister Bob Hawke, who in 1989 granted about 19,000 Chinese nationals visas to stay in Australia after the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Up for a vote on July 4, the motion proposes students from war-torn countries, including Libya, Syria and Bahrain, be allowed to stay in Australia until it is safe to return to their homes and that work restrictions be lifted in cases of financial hardship.
A spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said any of the 1446 Libyan students in Australia who believed it was unsafe to return home – where rebels claim the conflict has now claimed more than 10,000 lives since it began in February – could make an application for a further visa in Australia.

Op Ed: Victory Is the Answer in Libya
Posted on June 25, 2011 by admin

We’re engaged now whether we like it or not, and the only acceptable outcome is the end of the anti-American dictatorship.
By Joe Lieberman And Marco Rubio
The deepening confrontation between the White House and Congress over Libya is both counterproductive and unnecessary. Whatever one thinks about the constitutional questions surrounding the War Powers Resolution, or the wisdom of the original decision to intervene in Libya three months ago, the strategic reality is that our nation is now engaged in a fight. It will either end in the demise of a brutal anti-American dictator, or in his victory over us and our allies. The latter would be an extremely harmful outcome for the U.S.

I’m just disappointed in the things I heard from my cousins today. He said that one of the reasons why the thuwar are having a bit of a tug-a-war is because the weapons are being sold. When the thuwar get money they buy weapons and they liberate a town….and when they don’t it’s in the hands of Gaddafi. Then my cousin in Misratah was saying they first had the weapons from the military bases and then they had to buy it all from the East. My cousins in the East were also saying that things are going crazy with those opportunistic beings (not the NTC). They’re even making business out of the food by selling everything twice the price in local stores and they ship it to other cities 3x the price. disappointment
