Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5These lads are Islamic fundamentalists [just like Christian, Jewish, Hindu fundamentalists]. They are waving the Senussi flag which represents the previous Libyan Emirate which was ruled by religious decree. They are the other side of the coin of the Israeli Zionists.
Their spokesman, a member of the Musiclm Brotherhood, is supporting the creation in Bayda of an an “Islamic caliphate” by anti-regime fundamentalists.
Worrying news from Irish Times. but doesn't change fact that Gadafy is a murdering Dictator. Be careful of who you join up with in demos though.
Bayda was said to be declared an “Islamic caliphate” by anti-regime fundamentalists influential in this region. An opposition spokesman claimed that “all [local] tribes” were supporting the revolt.
Gadhafi is a personality cult nutter and has been speechifying too long from his simulated tent on the outskirts of Tripoli. Who and what will replace him? Will he Fight to the Last Drop, as he said in his recent rambling speech, and Die as a Martyr? It's the ordinary people of Libya who will be martyred if Gadhafi fights a civil war against the "cockroaches" doped by drugs supplied by foreigners as he also stated.
BTW I think what has happened in Egypt was effectively a military coup. Sure the crowds came out onto the central square, using the internet to mobilise; but in effect the military officers instructed the soldiers in tanks not to open fire on the crowds. The officers then made it clear to Hosni Mubarack that they were going to stand aside and let the crowds clog the streets until he resigned, and he had no option but to do just that. So the big question now is what shape of "new" govt is going to replace Mubarack? What attitude will it take towards the Gaza Strip, for instance? Will it implement poverty alleviation measures? Will regime members continue to salt away the wealth of the impoverished country?
I think it is too early to describe, as right-leaning western media have, the recent amazing events in Cairo as The Egyptian Revolution. Plus ca change and all that.
..more a military mutiny.
Mubarak lost the confidence of the conscripts on the ground and the signal trickled up to the generals that the game was changing. Egypt has been a garrison for the axis of virtue(Washington/NATO)anyway.
Washington and London are scrambling to damage-limitation stations lest the lucrative arms market slip to Russia or China(Cameron is out there on an arms-sales mission at the minute). Their problem at the moment is the breadth of the rebellions across formerly secure regimes and the running contagion that caught them off guard and preoccupied elsewhere. All hands to the pumps for emergency salvage job(and thats the oil pumps). If it does nothing else, i.e. even if UNcle Samco gets his grip back, the fright might just(may as well dream)shake the Israelis into realising they need some sort of regime change. That would be a beginning. I doubt optimism is called for. Too much entrenched oil and weapons moolah. They'd rather fry the region than see it slip out of their hot little hands.
I'd say stand by for concerted efforts to silence, sabotage or embed al jazeera. They revived the chloroformed giant. Already being labelled terrorists by the rabid and rancid over the pond.
..al jazeera, the cabinet reshuffle is a bit like bertie's exit; shelf life over, fresh faces, reform promises, backpedal like you mean it and hope the dust settles(or something really big goes down in the west so they can do a gadaffy duck on one of those 'bad news days' when you get to get out in the fresh air and bury a few of those over-ripe bodies).
And if that dont work, roll out and finance Enda d game.
