already predicted by the dictator on Tuesday, having aggravated the situation of his regime and warn of a possible civil war. Do not hesitate in sending warplanes to bomb loyal opposition protesters in the capital Tripoli, shielded by the army and several hundred African mercenaries hired, causing hundreds of deaths. No one knew exactly where they came from, but in recent days, several planes landed in the Libyan capital with hundreds of them in several African countries on board. Shooting indiscriminately at people, when the army refused to do so. Entrenched, shielded and installed in the Bab Al Asisiya military base, the dictator refused and was ready to go for it. Threatened to massacre the demonstrators rebels, indiscriminately killing intensified shootings and bombings, while the Minister of Interior and Army general announced his resignation to join the "Revolution on February 17." And, with the latest crazy scheme, Abdel Fattah Younes Abidi had chosen to join the rebellion of the people, making a call to invite the military to do the same. The colonel who led the country with an iron hand, based on Pan-Arabism, socialism, and direct democracy, offered his own considerable rise in average salary in exchange for the riots to cease. But these, far from disappearing, continued growing and increased the number of deaths caused by repression. And Colonel Gaddafi decided to hunker down in a military barracks in Tripoli, hardening his speech and his decision and launched a bloody crackdown on its people. He had already warned everyone: He was not Ben Ali and Mubarak and out, just take him away with feet first.
Waving to his own, with its Green Paper ajar Gaddafi acknowledges: "I'm not a president who can resign. Die as a martyr, like my grandfather. "
patent was the number of deaths and injuries caused by the relentless force of punishment, but the protesters, backed by soldiers, ambassadors and senior Libyan officials resigned, headed by Interior Minister and Ambassador in Washington, was increasing numbers. In the area controlled by him and challenging his regime, Muammar Gaddafi, had warned that Libya will not leave and was ready to die fighting. "Not to leave the country, not let the power, nor will there be forgiveness for the 'mice' rowdy, drunk drugs and alcohol, "he said in a changed and challenging tone. I will die here, too as a martyr. " It was the central theme of his speech in his public reappearance after the serious rioting in Tripoli and Benghazi. There would be according to him, peaceful change in Libya as there was in Egypt and Tunisia. On the contrary, said a river of blood for 'addicts', according to him have been raised in Tripoli under the command of bin Laden. Whatever bodily harm Libya would be executed. The Libyan leader reappeared before the cameras on national television from the Palace bombed by U.S. in 1986 in which some of his children died. And he warned the nation that "the Libyan revolution" is still alive and those who are demonstrating in Tripoli and Benghazi are "young at 16 or 17 years to mimic what happened in Tunisia or Egypt. Some drug addicts and drunks, to follow the instructions of Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, and that all they will get is that the U.S. attack on Libya and then return colonialism. " With the Libyan Penal Code in hand, announced the death penalty for all that divided the people, or rise against the institutions or their revolution, "will run all those who rise up in arms against Libya ... Or you want the U.S. to come to your territory to do what they did with the Afghan and Iraq? "
Gaddafi matador.
For Gaddafi, who opposed him were nothing but troublemakers to those who asked, "Where were you, mice, when the bombs fell on my house and killed my children?". They were only "a small group of young people taking drugs, and police barracks attack and burn the files where they displayed their crimes. Bin Laden's followers, backed by a group of patients, infiltrates in cities, spread tablets [drug] to these kids. " Before them, Gaddafi said he was unwilling to back down. "And I will not, no matter what or who falls." He explained that he did not have power, but "was delivered to the Libyans, in 1977, and was distributed in the ministries and people's committees. He called for "creating the new" popular committees, announcing that "tribes can manage themselves, if they want" and they were going to create 150 local councils to manage the popular decision. "Come out on the streets, harangued them, and arrest the 'mice'. No need to fear them. If to resort to force, we will do under international law and Libyan law. But these bands 'mice' do not represent anyone and just want to imitate what happened in Egypt and Tunisia. Are not responding to orders from Libya but from people outside. Benghazi have filled tank caps and burned to lie. "
Qaddafi Caricature.
Gaddafi said that despite rumors about his leaving the country, he was still in Libya. "I have not used force to the moment," he said, attacking the evidence to the contrary-but no doubt that I will use it if necessary. And, all Libyans who bears arms against Libya will be punished with the death penalty. " Witnesses quoted by Al-Jazeera claimed that after this speech, warplanes and helicopters bombed indiscriminately one sector after another. And increasing the number of deaths. For their part, official television denied the use of military force to quell the revolt. "These reports Gaddafi repeated," broadcast by the satellite channels, conspired against the Libyan people, are false. " However, several witnesses asserted that the regime had executed scores of soldiers refusing to fire demonstrators. Police and mercenaries hired by Gaddafi beat defenseless citizens in the streets of Tripoli and agreed even to their homes. It was impossible to venture the number of dead, executed mostly by African mercenaries hired, a parallel army paid the price of gold (between 1,000 and 2,500 dollars a day by gunmen, according to some sources). The latest figures indicate that may exceed ten thousand. However, the protesters will not be wrinkled by the brutality of the Libyan army and mercenaries hired by the regime. And opponents of Gadhafi gained control of the provinces of Cyrenaica and Misurata, east of the country and only 200 miles of the capital. And advancing to Tripoli, where fighting continued.
Navi Pillay, Human Rights Commissioner of the UN.
Meanwhile, the UN, Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called for an international investigation to control the brutal repression of the Libyan regime. "The callousness with which the Libyan authorities and their armed employees fired bursts of bullets against peaceful demonstrators is inconceivable," said Pillay, extremely alarmed "when I speak with are losing lives and there are killings, arbitrary arrests and torture of demonstrators. Libyan forces attacked the demonstrators and bystanders, blocked the neighborhoods and shoot from the rooftops. Borrowed prevented ambulances picking up wounded or dead were abandoned in the streets, while the reserves were depleted blood and medicine. " For her, the systematic and widespread attacks against civilians could be considered as crimes against humanity. His statement came after the conviction of the foreign ministers of the European Union after their meeting in Brussels. But his words failed to jeopardize the regime. The clearest evidence was the brief video message from Gaddafi on state television which, in just 20 seconds, tried to show that continued in Tripoli and that "there was no need to heed the channels of stray dogs."
Saif al Islam Gaddafi's son, on television.
Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary general expresses concern over the rapid deterioration of the situation and calls on Gaddafi the immediate cessation of violence and respect for the Libyan people, stressing "the need to ensure protection of civilians under any circumstances. " Ibrahim Dabais, Libya's deputy ambassador to the UN, said that Gaddafi should "leave power as soon as possible "and the international community should" avoid taking refuge in another country. " Quryna, daily e-Libyan, known speaker Seif Islam Gaddafi's son says they are "mercenaries" who opened fire on civilians, causing many deaths in Tadjura, about 40 miles east of Tripoli. Mercenaries who, in any case, have been recruited by the same regime to punish rebellious populations. And, with so much repression and conflict, the Libyans fled violence spilling over borders. The border crossing of Al Salum, allows the return of the Egyptians to their country and the passage of those who want to leave Libya. An average of 4,000 Egyptians crossed in the last few hours this border.
Mustafa Abul Jalil, Libyan justice minister announced his resignation last Monday by the excessive use of force against the demonstrators, said that Gaddafi's purposes are "fanciful" and that "there is not Al Qaeda or other terrorist organizations in the Libyan soil. " Gaddafi accused of being behind the explosion of Pan Am plane in 1988, reiterated its refusal to negotiate with the regime of Libyan leader argued that "the only solution" to the current situation is that the leader leaves the country. Day after day, the cities controlled by the Gaddafi regime are falling one by one as the tabs of a domino, but the Libyan dictator is not willing to give away the capital and is crushing the people with bombs. International news agencies say the capital is fully shielded with thousands of soldiers deployed mercenaries, tanks and aircraft that monitor any movement. And remember how Qaddafi was willing to do anything to end the popular revolution. Sayed al Shanuka, Libyan member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), speaking from Paris more than 10,000 dead in Libyan territory. The correspondents of some foreign media as "The Guardian", who manage to enter for the first time the country, found Benghazi as a free city, but with many hidden secrets. There is talk of mass graves where they buried the dead from the bombings, opposition activists and imprisoned in jails who had spent years underground without seeing sunlight.
Gaddafi is becoming increasingly paranoid alone with his power.
The dictator is increasingly alone. Ali al-Issawi, the Libyan ambassador to India, told the BBC that "resignation as foreign mercenaries have been deployed to attack Libyan citizens." From Boston, Errichi Ali, Minister of State for Emigration Libyan demands that the leader Libyan resign. Ibrahim Dabbashi remains number two in the Libyan delegation to the UN, who accuses him of committing "genocide" and urges him to relinquish power. "If Qaddafi does not withdraw the diplomat-forecast, the people will overthrow it." Most of the imams of the mosques in the country are refusing to deliver a sermon that the regime has prepared for them. They call people to go out. Al Jazeera Warfalla argues that the tribe, the largest in the country, has also supported the revolt, which represents a severe blow to the delicate web of tribal commitments that underpin the despotic power of Gaddafi since 1969. The bombing of its own capital is a sign that the regime can not survive for long. This is the last desperate act of Gaddafi.
In Benghazi, hanging a doll that represents Gadhafi.
to support military, diplomats and ministers to the popular revolution, he joined the General Huweidi Ali, chief of police in Benghazi, the city that two Army pilots refused to bomb Gaddafi, "he announces resignation to join the revolt. "From what I've seen the use of force (to suppress popular protests)-statement I submitted my resignation I am ready to stand at the side of the youth of the revolution to offer any help. " The city of Benghazi, the second largest in the country, is, from February 21, controlled by protesters who have occupied the abandoned military installations, soldiers loyal to the regime of Gaddafi. Also under opposition control the city of Tobruk, between Benghazi and the border with Egypt and the eastern third of the coastal area of \u200b\u200bLibya. More than a thousand people called the fall of the Libyan leader, far from being referred to, fought back, warning that "the authority will recover the situation," referring to cities in the east, and Benghazi, the epicenter of the riots, where the opposition has been particularly strong. However, according to information reaching censorship trickle by the Libyan regime is exercising, military aircraft and helicopters of the Libyan army continue to attack and terrorize the population with their attacks. "Gaddafi is thirsty for blood," says Suleiman Mahmud, general who joined the rebels, now in command of the rebel troops. It's like Nero, setting fire to Rome, and I'm sure that will burn Libya before losing power. He likes too much. "
Thousands of Libyans
called on Friday the resignation of Mr Gaddafi after the noon prayer in Benghazi.
military planes and helicopters of the Libyan army continue to terrorize the population. Some Arab news channels say that Gaddafi's regime has been bombing their own citizens to end the protests. But the main problem is the absence of verifiable news from the country. Unlike popular revolts in Egypt and Tunisia, where repression against journalists failed to halt the flow of news, Gadhafi annihilated Internet, controlled the press and telephone lines were manipulated at will to prevent be organized protesters. Al Jazeera, the Qatari, said that in the Tayura neighborhood, east of Tripoli, are still bodies in the streets, and "warplanes and helicopters bombed indiscriminately one sector after another." The total destruction of the airfield in Benghazi indicates that the bombing did exist. Saif Islam, son of the dictator, on Friday gave mixed signals about the course of events. Downplayed the actual impact of the rebellion and limited to two cities the clashes: Misrata and Zauiya. He acknowledged that in that area the regular army could not move and announced an imminent tie-fire after negotiating with "terrorists." Information on the international media which spoke of civil war, said: "These reports make us laugh. Besides Zauiya Misrata and everything is calm and we are optimistic. " But his words contrasted with those of his father who, hours earlier, had delivered his third speech of the week before a crowd which he said: "We will respond to any alien, as we have done before in the past. This is the strength of the people. If you want to fight, they will have. " And announced it would open the city's arsenal, providing arms to all who would fight alongside him. "Prepare to defend Libya," "They shouted," These people love me, "Keep dancing and singing," triumph over the enemy "...
mass flight by the Libyan border.
Meanwhile, the UN calls for independent investigation into the repression in Libya. The complaints come from the same person who reported the abuse and Ben Ali Mubarak, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay. The Libyan delegation to the Arab League is, in turn, to mediate an end to violence in the country. "Gaddafi's mad," warns deputy ambassador to the UN- and endure until the last moment. " But European countries move and react so slowly that, when they want to apply some effective measures, if any, comes with a delay that makes it unusable. Information on Qaddafi are increasingly blurred. Some foreign retailers that spoke even one child has decided to join the revolution. The U.S. government, in addition to sanctions, could be worth even the possibility of armed intervention in Libya and would be sounding out its main European partners. Causing widespread panic as thousands of refugees flee to decide quickly and en masse to the neighboring country. About 30,000 Egyptians and Tunisians have already fled the border crossing, stuck in long queues in which thousands of people waiting to get the stamp in the passport that allows them to escape this hell. Jean-Philippe Chauzy, spokesman for the World Organization for Migration (IOM) states that among Libyans who had fled there, but ignored if they have not taken flight or because they are not allowed to leave. A first contingent of migrant workers in Niger has managed to cross the border and are refugees in a temporary shelter in the city of Dirkou, three hours from the border with Libya. However, no mass flight have been observed in other West African citizens, although there is a large contingent working in Libya.
Thousands of migrants have arrived in recent weeks by sea, via the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) revealed that it is preparing for an eventual "significant exodus" of the Libyan population, under the repression of popular revolts against the regime Gaddafi. Franco Frattini, Italian Foreign Minister, is concerned that in the case of a Libyan regime fell, there was an anomalous wave migration of between 200,000 and 300,000 people to the coasts of Europe. A wave of that magnitude would be ten times higher the crisis in 1997 with refugees arriving in Albania on Italian shores. The Foreign Minister indicated that these are estimates downward, pointing out that the Libyans will not be coming to European shores. "A third of the population, said Frattini, is not only Libyan Sahara. We are talking about two and a half million people in the event that crash the system that governs the country, escape because they will lose their jobs. Not all (come) to Italy. Greece is much closer and Benghazi Cyrenaica. " Umberto Bossi, reforms minister and leader of the Northern League, states that, if more immigrants arrive on Italian shores, the government "the sent to France or Germany, "responds to a request from the UNHCR spokeswoman, Melissa Fleming," not refuse "to immigrants who reach European shores. To cope with this situation, Spain has offered aircraft and experts that the agency's mission control European borders (Frontex) has been launched to help the Italian authorities before the arrival of illegal immigrants from North Africa to the island Lampedusa.
The High Commissioner said that "it would be surprising" that the European countries begin receiving asylum-seekers from Libya as well as immigrant groups in mixing, as in Sicily and Lampedusa, who migrate for economic reasons with those who need international protection. However, in Spain there is no tradition in this regard. Libyan community is reduced to 37 people, according to the Ministry of Labour and Immigration, and throughout the last year only filed a petition for asylum nationality. In addition, UNHCR sources indicate that the riots in Tunisia and Egypt have not produced applications for asylum in Spain from these countries. Moreover, UNHCR has stressed the "worrying" situation of some 8,000 people from different countries around the world who live in Libya as the nearly 3,000 refugees who are in the country pending the determination of their asylum claim. As reported by UNHCR, many of these people come from countries of sub-Saharan Africa, like the mercenaries hired by Gaddafi to crush the revolt, which is causing to be confused with the murderers and chase them, going from being people protected to "become a target." The High Commissioner said: "I do not hardly dare to leave home."
"Gaddafi is finished, scared, scared shitless, like a good cowardly dictator who is Nafuente writes in" The Footprint Dgital.es "-. Perhaps the umbrella is to protect critical so cynical West, which until two days ago he kissed the feet of this dictator, wrapped in harems and tents. In power since 1969, said soon, Gaddafi Libya sees itself with the wave of freedom that shouts the Arab world. The reasons to cry poverty and collective weariness. The tools to shout Internet and Al Jazeera. Dreams to shout live in peace and smile at last. Enough missiles for this fanatic will even rain inside a van. "
"Saif Gaddafi, would-be Prince of Wales Republic of Libya-type hereditary Ignacio School in his blog, "studied at the London School of Economics. The title of his thesis is a terrible sarcasm: "The role of civil society in the democratization of global governance institutions, the soft power of collective decision making." And what is the role, according to Saif, the Libyan civil society calls for democracy? Without knowing the theory, practice is clear: the role of victim. The Gaddafi have drawn his own lesson of revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia: Ben Ali Mubarak and went from soft. The tyrant and his kid have increased the repression of its power: not only bring out the tanks in the streets, and also artillery, helicopters and even fighter planes. As I close this column, it is unclear whether Libya's Gaddafi flee or if, unfortunately, managed to remain in power after the bloodbath. I do not know what future awaits the dictator, but I know its past: a despotic tyrant who, in the last decade, went from ostracism and rejection to become another friend of the West, red carpet in France, Italy or Spain . His rehabilitation was one of the miracles of the 'war on terror' was one of the miracles of the 'war on terror' after the 11-S. "
In 2003, José María Aznar, then prime minister, was the first European leader to visit Qaddafi in his country. Gaddafi gave him a horse. It is not known what became of the horse.
"was precisely Aznar, Ignacio School continues in his blog-the first Western leader to visit Tripoli after the removal of sanctions by the UN in September 2003. In the English delegation, of course, also traveled Repsol. Libya is a dictatorship, yes, but it has oil. Thanks to that great fact differ, Zapatero held later that same privileged relationship. My big question is always: Are the interests of big English companies of the English interests? Yes? Have you always and under all circumstances? And the English civil society, what does all this?

"What a short week" is a comedy show broadcast in the second string ETB produced by Pausoka. Premiered by ETB 2 in September 2003, the program has also become popular in Spain thanks to the continuous references zapping programs and videos sent via email. The key program is the ease and insolence, poking fun at all sorts of subjects and taboos about the Basque Country, even the terrorism of ETA. The program receives criticism and praise from all sectors (including the French press). Jan. 21 aired this video entitled "Cream of smoking in Catalonia", as a way to reopen the arenas Catalan, closed since the law was passed prohibiting the celebration of these festivals. Smoking now runs a show that has returned to fill the grandstands.
