Connexion. Libye. La répression s'intensifie de manière "alarmante" - Monde. "Helicópteros y mercenarios disparan contra la gente" · ELPAÍS.com. El régimen de Muamar el Gadafi continúa, por segundo día consecutivo, con su campaña de terror contra la población civil. Después de que ayer los militares atacaran varios objetivos en la capital libia con cazabombarderos y helicópteros, el régimen ha recurrido hoy a mercenarios fuertemente armados que patrullan las calles de Trípoli para dar caza a los opositores. Un ciudadano español que reside en Trípoli ha asegurado a este periódico que "los helicópteros están sobrevolando la ciudad disparando contra la gente. Mercenarios en coches patrullan la ciudad y disparan también".
Este testigo, que ha preferido guardar el anonimato por razones de seguridad, ha asegurado que "salir a la calle es complicado" y que la situación en los aeropuertos es caótica. "Más de 3.000 turcos esperan a las puertas del aeropuerto para coger un vuelo y dejar el país", ha contado. Amira, una joven libia aguanta como puede el castigo del Ejército, ha confesado, en conversación telefónica, "sentir miedo". Defiant Muammar Gaddafi's troops shoot protesters as leader vows to stay put. Defiant leader tells country "I'm still here" Denounces protest leaders as rats Warns Libyans they face death sentence LIBYAN dictator Muammar Gaddafi was clinging to power yesterday as his troops gunned down protesting civilians - prompting international condemnation and even cries of genocide from members of his own government and military.
Speaking in a loud voice and saying he "saluted" the country's youth, Gaddafi announced he had no intention to step down as other African leaders had and vowed to "die a martyr" in Libya as "head of the revolution. " He added that Libya's image was being distorted by Western media and denounced those instigating the protests as "rats" who had been "seduced" into demonstrations with money and drugs, adding that Libyans were "defying the tyranny of the US and those powerful countries" instead of rebelling against their own regime. "The situation is serious and horrible," said a doctor at the city's main hospital. "I'm still here," he said. Libye - Où en sommes nous ce matin (22/02/2011) ? La Libye de Kadhafi n'existe plus. On a assisté au scénario de la fuite, avec Ben Ali.
Puis à celui du bannissement, avec Moubarak. Avec Kadhafi, c'est la haine finale, le carnage qui laisse augurer le pire dénouement. En Libye, la quête démocratique est recouverte par la guerre civile froidement voulue par Kadhafi. L'homme qui est apparu halluciné et ivre de violence meurtrière sur les écrans, le mardi 22 février, est en fait la caricature d'un passé qu'on espère révolu. Le système politique qu'il a bâti est en ruines, comme le prouve le changement de drapeau spontanément décidé par les insurgés de Benghazi: les trois couleurs de l'ancienne monarchie (qui a proclamé l'indépendance du pays en 1951) - rouge, noir, vert - ont remplacé le vert uni voulu par le dictateur dans un de ses innombrables délires. L'homme qui s'est exprimé, ce jeudi 24 février, par téléphone sur les ondes et les antennes, sans que l'on sache s'il s'agit d'un enregistrement ou d'une conversation en direct, est l'autre face d'un pervers sans limites.
Turmoil in Gadhafi regime, Lybia. ASSOCIATED PRESS February 21, 2011 8:26PM Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM CAIRO (AP) — A defiant Moammar Gadhafi vowed to fight to his “last drop of blood” and roared at supporters to strike back against Libyan protesters to defend his embattled regime Tuesday, signaling an escalation in a crackdown that has thrown the capital into scenes of mayhem, wild shooting and bodies in the streets. The speech by the Libyan leader — who shouted and pounded his fists on the podium — was an all-out call for his backers to impose control over the capital and take back other cities. After a week of upheaval, protesters backed by defecting army units have claimed control over almost the entire eastern half of Libya’s 1,000-mile Mediterranean coast, including several oil-producing areas. Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel called Gadhafi’s speech “very, very appalling,” saying it “amounted to him declaring war on his own people.”
“Forward, forward, forward!” “These are his dying words. U.S. United Shades Of Britain - Please spread the message: they are being massacred and want people to know. Libye : Libye : "On a pris le pouvoir à l'ambassade" - Monde. Stop the Massacre - Save the Libyans Petition. The international news organizations are broadcasting atrocities that are being committed against unarmed civilians in Libya that could be considered crimes against humanity. This country has been ruled with an iron fist for the past 42 years by the notorious regime of Muammar Gaddafi. While claiming to have a unique form of direct democracy, the regime has never tolerated any dissent, and has carried out many atrocities over the decades it has been in power oppressing its people, including public hangings, long-term imprisonments without trial, and the infamous massacre of 1270 prisoners in the Abusleem prison in Tripoli in 1996.
Libya has no constitution, parliament, elections or free press. All political activities and parties are banned. The Libyan people have risen in a wide wave of protests since February 15th that are turning into a bloodbath due to the vicious repression of these protests that the rulers of Libya have unleashed on its citizens.
China official warns of domestic unrest and "hostile" West. Beijing - The Chinese government faces a turbulent time of domestic unrest and challenges from "hostile Western forces" that it will fight with more sophisticated controls, a Communist Party law-and-order official said. A man is arrested by police after internet social networks called to join a "Jasmine Revolution" protest in downtown Shanghai February 20, 2011. REUTERS/Carlos Barria Chen Jiping, deputy secretary general of the Communist Party's Political and Legal Affairs Committee, gave the toughly worded warning in this week's issue of Outlook Weekly, and blamed Western democratic countries for fomenting unrest.
He did not mention the protests that have rocked authoritarian governments in the Middle East, and his words reflect the Communist Party's own homegrown fears. But the uprisings that deposed Egypt's long-time president Hosni Mubarak and are now threatening Libya's strongman Muammar Gaddafi are likely to reinforce the views of Chinese security officials like Chen.

Profile: Muammar Gaddafi - In Depth. Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been Africa's and the Arab world's longest-ruling, most erratic, most grimly fascinating leader - presiding for 42 years over this desert republic with vast oil reserves and just 6 million people. For years, he was an international pariah blamed for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people.
After years of denial, Libya acknowledged responsibility, agreed to pay up to $10 million to relatives of each victim, and Gaddafi declared he would dismantle all weapons of mass destruction. That eased him back into the international community. But in February, days after the uprising against him began, Gaddafi gave a televised speech amid violent social unrest against his autocratic rule. In the speech, he vowed to hunt down protesters "inch by inch, room by room, home by home, alleyway by alleyway. " Gaddafi came to power in 1969 after leading a bloodless coup toppling King Idris at the age of 27.
Crushing dissident. A UN First! Both Israel and Palestine Co-Sponsor Resolution Condemning Libya Violence. Leave it to Muammar Qaddafi to bring together the Israelis and Palestinians at the United Nations. I have just obtained the copy of a draft resolution from the Human Rights Council that strongly condemns the violence in Libya. The resolution is as strongly worded as they come. But what is more significant than the substance of the resolution is the broad support that it has attracted by a diverse set of members. Check this out: You’ll also note that Qatar and Tunisia co-signed. As it happens, Libya is on the Human Rights Council right now. Very interesting times. “We’ve joined many concerned members of the Human Rights Council in supporting this session,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Suzanne Nossel tells me over email, “It is significant that the international community will speak with one voice in condemning the violence.”

Photos de Kadhafi ? Paris: l?Elys?e s?est tromp? ? Article ? OWNI, Digital Journalism. L'Elysée s'est trompé en affirmant n'avoir jamais publié de photos de la rencontre de décembre 2007 entre Mouammar Kadhafi et Nicolas Sarkozy à Paris sur elysee.fr : elles y sont encore... L’Elysée aurait-il censuré les photos de la visite de Khadafi à Paris, et de sa poignée de main avec Nicolas Sarkozy, en décembre 2007 ?
C’est en tout cas ce que certains laissaient entendre sur Twitter, relayés en cela par plusieurs articles de presse. Interrogé par LeMonde.fr, le service Internet de l’Elysée a démenti avoir dépublié des photos de la visite de Mouammar Kadhafi à Paris, tout en déclarant que ces photographies, que personne ne retrouvait plus, n’avaient donc jamais été publiées sur le site : “Tout ce qui est produit n’est pas diffusé en ligne“. Répondant aux Inrocks, l’Elysée est encore plus catégorique : “C’est totalement faux!

The Real News Network. 20080610Kadhafiversaillesinside. Sarko_kadhafi. Libye : Tobrouk aux mains des manifestants. The first report from the Egyptian border with Libya by Al Jazeera English. A large organization? No. A privately funded group? Umm..nope! Professional journalists with years of experience in the business? Questions like these and many more we got during the thicket of the revolution, but we never got the chance to answer them for many reasons. How many were there of us? As a matter of fact, we were only a team of 2 people! As the picture above shows. We really don’t know what more to add other than that this was a spontaneous unplanned effort from two people who wanted to do whatever they could to help a cause they so strongly believed in. It seemed like everything else other than Libya floated into the background. And now Libyafeb17.com is relaunching to continue the voyage it began a year ago.
Libya defectors: Pilots told to bomb protesters flee to Malta | World news. Two high-ranking Libyan air force pilots have who fled to Malta in their aircraft are reported to have told officials they escaped rather than carry out orders to bomb civilians. The officers defected as Libyan diplomats in several countries and international organisations resigned in protest at the regime's violent response to the deepening crisis. They included Muammar Gaddafi's ambassadors to China, India, Indonesia and Poland, as well as Libya's representative to the Arab League and most, if not all, of its mission at the United Nations. Omar Jelban, head of the London People's Bureau, flatly denied an al-Jazeera report he too had quit. Jelban was earlier called to the Foreign Office to hear what William Hague, the foreign secretary, called "our absolute condemnation of the use of lethal force against demonstrators".
