and where were the threads for those being slaughtered and violated by Libyan forces?
where are the threads for the thousands slaughtered in Syria?

Instead we get a thread on an erroneous attack on Tripoli for which NATO has apologized?

Is anyone else really bored by the predictable arab propaganda?

Thats quite daft. How can the western media "show it" if they are NOT allowed into the country?

Libya could relax ban on foreign journalists on Friday
Libya is reportedly planning to allow some Western journalists to report from the capital, Tripoli, tomorrow, but has warned those who have already entered without proper government accreditation that they face immediate arrest and will be considered al-Qaeda collaborators. Foreign media have been trying to gain access for the past week to cover the violent protests that have gripped the country,,

Hmm you expect the western media to show this by magic if they are not allowed into Libya? Last week the rebels banned all media from the western front in Misrata too. Dumb islamist.

I'm just wondering why i didnt see you with any pictures of the thousands slaughtered before NATO's intervention. But of course . . . expecting you to be objective is like waiting for Syria to stop killing yet more thousands . . . you must have missed that too.

You are also dumb,the rebels are supported by the west and they regonize them,so they have access to beganzai,so a central bank is already there and they have exported their first oil to the states.They are just 2 % of that population

Which is why the west has bluntly refused to arm the rebels?

The west isnt quite stupid you know . . . they learnt a bitter lesson arming the taliban against the soviets. All they are doing for now is preventing Ghaddafi from killing thousands of Libyans (an act hypocritical islamists like you would have ignored anyway). . . the west needs a "partner" to justify defending Libyan citizens.

1. Does providing them with non-lethal arms (such as boots, uniform, batons) count as "arming" the rebels?
2. India asking for the purchase of french jets is for the rebels now? lol

yeah the west is "advising" the rebels because they know should they withdraw Ghaddafi would have them all in body bags in a few days.

first of all there are two camps covering this war - the pro gadaffi western journalists like Russia Today and various other independent media corporations some of those journalists are in tripoli and are covering what is happening there - thats how this clip was recorded, then you have the anti gadaffi journalists who are restricted to benghazi and areas where the rebels have occupied, these journalists are not allowed into tripoli and all areas under gadaffi's control because they could pose a threat to the security of gadaffi controlled areas.

The free-market system is only found in democratic countries. china has no free-market system.
All systems can never be perfect, but at least democracy is 100000x better than the primitive quasi-religious dictatorships that govern predominantly muslim nations. It is instructive that the only country where arabs are freest is Israel (a democracy!). If you were to accept any visa today, would you choose to go to saudi arabia? Think on your answer.

You really are a joke!

the so called free market system that you extol has brought untold misery, suffering and poverty in africa, multinationals are ra.ping your continent dry and sharing the proceeds of their ill gotten wealth with your leaders and you babble on about free market.  The freemarket system is the reason that shell can cause environmental devastation in the niger delta and not have to compensate displaced fishermen in the area, its also the reason that they come into nigeria and buy up public utilities and then make huge profits by increasing the cost of their services, its also the reason why multinationals can pay nigerian employees starvation wages all with the backing and cooperation of nigerian leaders because of the fact that labour laws are either too lax or non existent.

this democracy you speak of is a mirage - even in western nations leaders pay lip service to it.  in america many civil liberties are being repealed, many western nations are fast becoming police states and many other rights which people have taken for granted are gradually being taken away under the pretext of countering terrorism

Libya had the highest standard of living in africa, with a social welfare system which provided unemployed people with housing and feeding allowance, health care and education is free in libya and no one is homeless.  Scholarships to train in foreign universities are available to anyone who is interested in furthering their education.  Libyan women are the most educated women in the arab world with more of them undertaking university education than even their own men. Life expecatancy in libya is 69 years, compare that with the cess pit known as nigeria which is a supposedly democratic nation - you make me laugh.

You are a big joker for saying that arabs in Israel are the freest, Israel is a racist nation that practices apartheid against arabs, why dont you try telling all those palestinians that have had their homes bulldozed by the IDF how fantastic their lives are and see what they will tell you, how about all those children that are being shot at point blank range by the IDF - you are beyond a joke

Makes little sense comparing a nation of 6m with that of 300m. I'm sure if there were only 5m people in nigeria we'd be able to afford a social welfare system like Libya too with all our oil money. If Libya is as good as you describe then what were the rebels crying about? They hate education?

COLONEL GADDAFI SLAUGHTERS FAMILIES AS HIS ‘PEACE ENVOY’ FLIES ON

COLONEL Gaddafi’s forces were using tanks and snipers to “massacre” civilians in the besieged city of Misrata yesterday while his envoy flew across Europe seeking peace.
Evacuees described Libya’s third city as “hell” after a violent assault on the former rebel stronghold left “corpses in the street and hospitals overflowing”.
Omar Boubaker, 40, an engineer with a bullet wound to a leg who was taken to the Tunisian port of Sfax, added: “You have to visit Misrata to see the massacre by Gaddafi.”
The military stalemate, coupled with government defections, has prompted a flurry of diplomacy to find a solution.
Libya’s deputy foreign minister Abdelati Obeidi was in Europe yesterday meeting officials in an effort to strike a peace deal for Gaddafi.
But Misrata evacuees had more pressing concerns.
Tearful evacuee Abdullah Lacheeb, who had serious injuries to his pelvis and stomach plus a bullet wound in his leg, said: “I could live or die but I am thinking of my family and friends who are stranded in the hell of Misrata.

It is not the free market system that forced Babangida to pocket $12bn of our oil proceeds. Try the truth, it might help.

It wasnt the free market system that developed europe and america - it was the people who DEMANDED JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS THAT FORCED THE HAND OF BIG BUSINESS AND THE GOVT, so get it right, victorian britain was exactly like 21st century nigeria with legalised child labour , mass poverty, non existent social services or labour laws, high infant mortality, a brutal and tyrannical elite class who exploited the masses, it was the people who fought to overturn all of this - this has not happened in nigeria because the masses have failed to rise up to overturn the tyrannical govts which oppress them.  Yes there is corruption in africa i am not disputing that, but it is nowhere near the level of corruption carried out by multinationals and western govts that prop up, finance and arm these same dictators who continue to terrorise their own people.  america provided military aid to mubarak of egypgt to the tune of $1billion dollars a year, mobutu enjoyed 32 years in office courtesy of the americans, omar bongo of gabon remained in office for 42 years courtesy of the french, babangida plundered the nigerian economy for 8 years after collaborating with the IMF and plunged nigeria into a downward spiral of debt - none of this woudl have been possible without western financial and military aid.
the fact that i live in europe is my prerogative and does not make me a hypocrite, why is it that when you people  hear people speaking out against the corrupt western system taht has kept africa on its knees for 5 centuries you start bleating on about hypocrisy?  what is hypocritical about the truth, do you call westerners who criticise their own govts hypocrites too?  do you ask them to relocate to o ther countries, if you are too dim to understand that it is the prerogative of every citizen to hold their nation to accoutn then i can not help you.


Interesting that the same Shell and free market system that exists here in the US has not led to environmental degradation . . . perhaps because here the laws are enforced and kickbacks are not the order of the day?

have you heard of pressure groups and environmental campaigners? no? well they act as checks and balances to expose  corruption and govt malpractices in western nations .  THEY ARE THE REASON THAT CORRUPTION IS NOT AS RIFE AS IT IS IN PLACES LIKE AFRICA, its got nothign to do with the honesty of american and european politicians

i suggest you research the activities of ENRON, KBR, Blackwater, Haliburton and all the defence contractors that are part of the american military industrial complex - that mmight help you wake up.

If labor laws are too lax then i suggest you blame your leaders and not the free market system.

like i said i am not exonerating our leaders, i am however aware taht the problem goes beyond our leaders, if a nigerian dictator is provided with $1billion dollars worth of military aid by the US and britain to perpertuate himself in power then the person who is providing him with the wherewithal to remain in power is also part of the problem.

Which is why you count one of those "mirages" home as well right? you would be more believable if you chose to move to another country that does not practice the political and economic systems you so easily denigrate. Its called hypocrisy no?

why should i move to another country, this is where i was born and this is where i prefer to live, do you have a problem with that?  the fact that i criticise aspects of this country's foreign policy does not negate the fact that i have a right to be here.

Your alternative to democracy would be what? Pakistan?

what are you on?  who is talking about alternatives to democracy?  No country is practicing democracy in its true form - oppressive practices apply in almost every nation of the world including the US and many european nations, its all about maintaining a balance, libya provides the basics for its citizens - housing, cheap food, free education and health care and employment - some american and british citizens are not even enjoying any of these in their own countries - you are so hung up on the word democracy taht you dont even understand what it means.  If i live in a country where the above necessities are provided what do i care if my govt is practising democracy or not.  Nigeria claims to practice democracy but people are living on $1 a day, there is mass unemployment, mass illiteracy, high infant mortality and mass poverty, try and get out of your narrow mindset of focusing on what the white man has drummed into your head and look at what is actually happening on the ground.


Makes little sense comparing a nation of 6m with that of 300m. I'm sure if there were only 5m people in nigeria we'd be able to afford a social welfare system like Libya too with all our oil money. If Libya is as good as you describe then what were the rebels crying about? They hate education?

Keep deceiving yourself - nigeria makes more than enough money from oil revenue to take care of its 150m citizens, it has squandered billions of dollars on worthless white elephant projects that benefit noone other than foreign construction companies and corrput govt officials.  The libyan rebels are a tiny minority who do not represent the majority of libyan people - they are hated by the vast majority of libyans and would never have got this far with their attacks if not for NATO. Besides in every society you will have a group of disgruntled individuals that is simply a fact of life.

Even though 1m FREE arabs live, work and are beneficiaries of the social welfare system in Israel? Have arab members in the Knesset and the supreme court? lol i'll have this unique system of "apartheid" any day over that in arab countries like Syria where citizens have become refugees in turkey.

well why dont YOU move to Israel and then you will see how much love and respect racist zionists have for black people.  These same Israelis that you worship are making billions from mining concessions in DRC and treat africans like garbage, they were also staunch supporters of the aparthied regime in south africa whre many of them have huge stakes in the diamond industry.

Building a home without a permit would lead to your home being bulldozed in the UK too.

1. No such thing exists. provide evidence to the contrary.

2. Syria is doing just that, do you not care for those kids as well?

the idea that these people's homes were bulldozed because they did not have permits for construction is about the most preposterous excuse for israeli oppression of palestinians i have heard yet.
i ask you again what is causing the situation in syria - when you answer that then we can discuss why people are being killed there.

Makes little sense comparing a nation of 6m with that of 300m. I'm sure if there were only 5m people in nigeria we'd be able to afford a social welfare system like Libya too with all our oil money. If Libya is as good as you describe then what were the rebels crying about? They hate educatio

1. No such thing exists. provide evidence to the contrary.

2. Syria is doing just that, do you not care for those kids as well?
Word of advice Davidlyn, You beating your head against a stone wall. These guy can not think objectively. they are driven by pseudo revolutionary thinking that frames and fuels their dogmatic expressions.

What continues to baffle me is the hyprocrisy of living  in and paying taxes to these same system and states in the guise of so called rights  of freedom of speech accorded them.

Come back home to the continent and fight the evil empire system face to face instead of through a computer screen locked up in a 40 square foot london apartment. If you can't do anyting to fix a problem stop blabbing about it and do something

So much for courage!

I live in Nigeria and i'm a part of the day to day life. An average Nigerian can only complain but would not rise to tackle unfavourable situation. That is the basis of our problem in Africa.
To libya- when Gadhaffi launches offensive against the rebels it called massacre but when the rebels launch offensive against Gadhaffi what is it called?
Why are we not facing the truth and stop being deceived.

Clearly shows that any life not western is as good as nothing,  you'd hardly find the media companies emphasize their so called unequivocal reports on innocent lives lost to NATO bombings daily in Libya instead they spend their time showing us useless apologies

Cant wait to see the end of all this, US is broke and out of ammo, Italy has backed off , UK and France are still adamant , UK public sector workers are all on strike due to new legislations that could lead to  pension cuts while their government is out there spending millions trying to oust   Ghaddafi , 

Won't be too surprised if they decide to use weather warfare on Ghadaffi

Which is why the west has bluntly refused to arm the rebels?

The west isnt quite silly you know . . . they learnt a bitter lesson arming the taliban against the soviets. All they are doing for now is preventing Ghaddafi from killing thousands of Libyans (an act hypocritical islamists like you would have ignored anyway). . . the west needs a "partner" to justify defending Libyan citizens.

Wao! Don't tell me you believe that!!!

You know the french president openly admitted giving weapons to the rebels right?

Mehn! I don't know what to call you! Uncle tom? I believe Gaddafi is power drunk but his powerful liquor isn't getting anyone tipsy at all,

He was leading his people well in a right direction,  Infact, he was against islamic government in his nation! Just that 90% of his people are Muslims just like him,

You know, the man said it, he said it! That one day the Americans will come! He said if they could attack a sovereign nation like Iraq, they will come not just for him but for other leaders in his league!!

And the world just sat back and watch!!

Obama lost any support  I had for him and i hope he loses 7billion more support!!

May he get stoned everywhere he goes!!

People are dying in the name of this crazy uncontrollable beast called America! I thought Obama was anti war when he campaigned,
Makes me ashamed of Law which the eediot also studied!! lying through his teeth!.

And Italy? Did they really think they can take on Libya alone? even France!! All it would have taken was a bunch boats across the Mediterranean and that is it! Italians would have been cowering for help even with their mobs!!

Crazy world! Pull out of World organizations NOW!!!! UN controlled! ICC issuing arrest warrant for Gaddafi's son that was the reason Libya got friendly with western nations!! Damn you crackers!! Souless animals!!

Anywhere in Africa could be next! hate it or love it!!!
