Libya Situation

http://www.todayonline.com/World/ED...ts-machine-guns

quote:

ibyan forces fired machine-guns at mourners marching in a funeral for anti-government protesters in the eastern city of Benghazi yesterday, a day after snipers and foreign mercenaries loyal to longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi shot demonstrators. Women and children leapt from bridges to their deaths as they tried to escape the ruthless crackdown on Saturday. Artillery and helicopter gunships were also used against crowds of demonstrators, and thugs armed with hammers and swords had attacked families in their homes. A doctor at one city hospital said he counted 200 dead in his morgue alone since the unrest began six days ago.

Apparently snipers are shooting down protesters in the street during the speech by Saif el-Islam Gaddafi. Egypt's revolution was luckily extremely peaceful in comparison to this. Saif el-Islam Gaddafi basically said in his speech that everyone in Libya would be dead before his father would give up control of the nation.

TIA man

Yeah Bahrain killed a few protestors with live rounds as well. Pretty sure theres been a few deaths in Yemen as well.

If only Italy had a leader now

i have a feeling shit like this has been going on for years, but the news media is only really sensationalizing on it now because of all the stuff going on in Eqypy.

ther'es a lot of unsettled-ness going on around here'; i'm just glad it's w/ their own gov't and not us lol.

also repost from the eqypt thread

That's because English journalists are scum.

Is this an issue? No doubt intelligence did realise their government was bullshit.

Its only going to get worse and worse, the whole middle east is ready to implode.

seems to me certain countries forgot about the fact that the egypt protests had the support (or rather refrain from interference) of the military.

can't do much when the leader you're trying to oust has fully control of the armed forces.

Muammar Gaddafi fears flying over water, prefers staying on the ground floor and almost never travels without his trusted Ukrainian nurse, a �voluptuous blonde,� according to a US document released by WikiLeaks late 2010.

quote:

Gaddafi's choice of bodyguards has been the subject of much media attention. His 40-member bodyguard contingent, known as the Amazonian Guard, is entirely female. All women who qualify for duty supposedly must be virgins, and are hand-picked by Gaddafi himself. They are trained in the use of firearms and martial arts at a special academy before entering service.

Just wait till a general's grandson gets killed randomly or something.

Also people like being patriotic... as much as the military is conservative it doesn't like feeling like it's against the majority of the people.

Shit's about to hit the fan

Two Libyan Air Force Mirage jet fighters unexpectedly flew to Malta this afternoon with their pilots claiming they escaped to Malta after having been ordered to bomb protesters who have taken control of the second city of Benghazi.

Yea reports are coming in that they are now bombing the city, randomly... Gunships are also flying around shooting people up.

Fucking insane.

And the U.S. State Department ordered all U.S. citizens out, too. Personally, I wouldn't mind if we sent in some jets to scuttle their military after what I've been hearing and seeing coming out of there. Bombing civilians is pretty sick.

No wonder CNN said Gadhafi declared war on the Libyan people! Jesus Christ, that's insane

Wow, wtf

I hope the army stands up to him... seems unlikely though at this stage
