4/25 report from someone who was in Misrata: I think G has a way to go yet still but he definitely is being challenged right now i had a harrowing experience for easter I can tell you first hand that atleast two days ago the situation in Misrata was extrmely dire it was touch and go for a while there I think I was wrong about G though I don’t think there was the resolve that there was in the begining I saw this first hand captured forces become friends immediately with the rebels!! and they’re more organised than the rebels…but not THAT organised! Q: Mad that they were lied to about who they wer fighting? A: some , but not quite its like their heart waasn’t in it caouldn’t stand to see the sight of wounded children wounded women, and civilians who were unarmed! but NATO is saying it will not allow aid to be flown in even if it is
because of no-fly res honestly if i get my hands round fogh’s neck i’ll kill him fogh rasmussen he’s responsible for NATO’s civil service attitude to this crises he’ the gen sec resolution i want a ‘yes’ we can’t fly a ‘think’ can we? all we can do is raise this to the attention of the int’l community they did not allow an arms shipment it just got through the requests have been sent in and the reply for now has been a NO they’re doing nothing to encourage things b ut Misurata has greater problems than an airport right now to lberate Misurata has people dying like flies and I’m not talking about FF either … not enough you have no freakin idea the first one its not only an ammo problem I am not a military strategist cannot get G’s forces before coming in because they’re not being informed and because Gi hiding and camouflaging his forces I mean frankly i don’t even know how the rebels know who they have to fight and how they recognise their opponents many of them don’t even wear fatigues Nato could station a drone over misurata at least a couple of days and that would help as well it might but there does not seem to be a comprehensive strategy to defend Misruata and this is the worst thing because they ‘liberate’ an area and lose it then next day for example the port was ok – cleared – when we got there but I expect they will manage to clear the airport in the coming days and then they’ll lose the port this is what I told one of the leaders of the FF and he kept telling me that they’re getting better
5/16 * MUST READ* Libya is Not… From the outside looking in, the situation in Libya looks like any other war-torn African nation rife with civil war and division along tribal/cultural/ethnic lines. Images of raggedy desert soldiers using make-shift weapons and homemade tanks conjure up memories of conflicts in the Ivory Coast, Liberia, and many more. Factor in the child soldiers in Libya along with foreign involvement from NATO and the United States supporting the rebellion and one can’t help but think they are experiencing a strong case of déjà vu. Thankfully for the Libyans, and everyone wishing for freedom all over the world, the situation could not be more different…….. newlibya.com/?p=118

5/22 Plea to G supporters (FGS) Ibn Omar: im reposting this, a message to the #libyan #army. Translation: In the name of God most Gracious most merciful A call to the Libyan army: I would like to remind you that this revolution has no other goals, except the demand of the removal of Qaddafi. This comes after 41 years of gagging mouths. After 41 years of confiscating freedoms, after 41 years of repression, degradation and humiliation. After 41 years of Qaddafi promoting himself to the rank of God to be worshipped. Your people have revolted other to express their opinions about this murderer. So why do you face your people with bullets. Is this your civil duty ? To defend one person? I swear by God it is a shame (disgrace) and sad to see you killing your brothers while holding pictures of this lunatic and cheering the chants that are lies, awkward and silly. We don’t see the brave and free revolutionists (freedom fighters) hold up pictures of anyone nor cheer for the life of anyone. Their only chant is Libya Libya. The choice is yours to either to stand with your people, or with the tyrant. No third option. I will remind you of the verse from the Holy Quran “Indeed Pharoah, Haman and their soldiers were wrongdoers”. I swear justice will prevail in this life before the hereafter if you don’t stop. I swear each person who lost a dear one by your hands will demand rightful justice now before later. This regime has ended. This regime has worn out, and will not rise again. So don’t kill representing them, rather come join your people before it is too late.
