السلام عليكم، أنا مواطن ليبي من هولندا. أوجه ندائي للشعب الليبي عليهم أن يستعدوا لبداية حرب العصابات على الدوريات التي تقف ضد التموين إلى مدينة الزاوية و إلى المدن الأخرى، هذا هو أحسن حل لهذه الانظمة. هو يتسعمل أسلوب الكر والفر فعلينا ان نستعمل هذا الاسلوب، عليكم الآن ياشعب ليبيا أن تستعدوا لحرب العصابات؛ على البوابات وعلى نقاط التفتيش حاولوا أن تسلبوا الأسلحة، الأغنمة هي أهم حاجة، على الشعب الليبي أن يتسلح للقضاء على هذه الشراذم من النظام لو استطاع كل الشعب الليبي أن يتسلح فيجد سهولة في القضاء على هذه البوابات وعلى هذا الحصار على مدينة الزاوية، جدابيه، ومسراته. ارجوكم يا شعب ليبيا هذه الفكرة الوحيده لنجاتكم، وكل من يسمعني عليه أن يوصل هذه الفكرة لكل الناس وأتمنى أن هذا الصوت يصل للجزيرة. شكرا والسلام عليكم.

Hello, Peace be upon you I’m a Libyan citizen from Holland I call out the people in Libya, to start preparing for gangs battle against the patrols that stands against catering Al Zawiyah and the other cities. This is the best solution with this kind of systems that goes back and forth, which make it a must to use the same method. You have to be at the gates and the check points, try to steal the weapons, and the goods it the most important thing, people have to be armed in order to get rid of the regime if all the Libyan people can be armed they’ll be able to get rid of this gates and surrounding on Al Zawia, Jedabya and Misurata. I beg you Libyan people it’s the only way for your survival and everyone hears me please pass this on to everyone there and to Al Jazeera. Thanks

13-year-old Boy Among Killed in Brega
Posted on March 4, 2011 by main

The Guardian Reports: A 13-year-old boy was killed when pro-Gaddafi forces tried to retake Brega on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch is reporting. It says Hassan Umran was herding goats when he was shot in the head. The organisation’s emergencies director, Peter Bouckaert, visited a morgue in Ajdabiya to try to establish a death toll from Wednesday’s fighting. Peter also provided us with excellent updates from Alexandria during the Egyptian protests. He said:
    We found 14 bodies at the morgue, many of them fighters, but also including the body of 13-year-old Hassan Umran, a young shepherd. Later, we went to see Hassan’s twin brother, Hussein, and his younger brother Faraj, 11, who were both wounded in the same incident that killed Hassan. They and their relatives explained that the boys had been out herding their goats and sheep on the outskirts of Brega around 8am on 2 March when the pro-Gaddafi militia passed by in more than 30 vehicles heading towards the university. They said that the militia fired rifles and rocket-propelled grenades in the direction of the boys. All three boys were injured by shrapnel from the grenades, but Hassan was killed when he was hit with bullets to his head.

    When we arrived at the morgue, the doctors and attendants were busy washing the bodies and preparing them for burial by wrapping them in clean white cloths. Among the 14 dead were three bodies said to be from the pro-Gaddafi militia, but who were not carrying identification. It is believed that when the pro-Gaddafi fighters retreated, they took many of their wounded and dead, so the total casualties from their side are unknown. Aside from young Hassan, the remaining 11 dead included three guards from the Ammonium Factory, and seven fighters who had participated in the gun-battle on the rebel side.

Tuaregs from Mali heading for Libya to fight for Col Gaddafi

AUDIO- MUST LISTEN

There has been intense speculation that the embattled government has recruited mercenaries from sub-saharan Africa to crush the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi's 42 year rule.

One of the countries mentioned in this regard is Mali.

Martin Vogl, our correspondent in the capital Bamako, has been looking into the allegations and told BBC Network Africa's Audrey Brown.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/2011/03/110304_mali_tuareg_libya.shtml


No official govt reaction from Mali. Mercs not doing it 4 #G but 4 the money.

Chris Matlhako. "The Communists play a pivotal role in the struggles"
International Secretary of the Communist Party of South Africa, Chris Matlhako analyzes the economic and social challenges facing the nation rainbow sky in a crisis that disrupts global deal.

How to explain the violent outbursts that regularly shake South African townships?

Chris Matlhako. The recent spate of violent protests in parts of the country reflects a deep unease with the decay of public services and the neglect of certain local officials, who use their elected positions to engage in trajectories personal enrichment. In addition, the local state still bears the scars of spatial planning models of apartheid. He barely exceed the immense gap between rich and poor sectors sectors, a fact still deeply rooted after seventeen years of democracy. Neoliberal policies conducted after 1996 have led to privatization and outsourcing process that stripped local communities their fragile ability to deliver basic services to the population. It is now forced to turn to private providers, who take money these basic services at high prices. But the main challenge is mass unemployment, the essential feature of South Africa post-apartheid. Officially, the unemployment rate reached 24.6%. But this statistic is based on a narrow definition of unemployment.

...


Africa-France summit in Nice on Zuma saw in the conflicts afflicting the African continent as a legacy of colonization. Is this your vision?

Chris Matlhako. Yes, it is true that fifty years after the onset of decolonization, colonialism and neocolonialism continues to manifest itself in various forms on the continent. The economies of most Third World countries remain bound to the old cities. In this unequal relationship, the former metropolises continue to dictate to the ruling elites and the national bourgeoisie devoted to the former colonizer. Nicolas Sarkozy, for example, does not hesitate to use the argument links with former colonies, urging them to defend the interests allegedly common in the economic war being waged between the imperialists themselves. However, the interests in question are in fact the interests of monopoly capital and its French ruling classes.

Every report I have from eyewitnesses says that the revolutionaries hold Al Zawiya.

I just check that person's tweet history. They're barely focused on Libya and I have no idea where they're getting their info. It's the only tweet they have about Libya too. It's some guy in Chile.

He's not really following much on Libya.

18:39 BREAKING: Eyewitness from Tripoli has just told Al Jazeera the following:

The situation in Tripoli is a crisis. Many arrests and kidnappings happened across the city last night its numbers approximated between 70 and 100. Those kidnapped were youth considered the pioneers and drivers of the protests in Tripoli.

There was heavy security present around al the mosques today. A trusted friend of mine told me that before the Friday prayer ended in the mosque where he prayed (which was close to Green Square), hoards of pro-Gaddafi supporters appeared outside the mosque and started chanting in favour for Gaddafi. They were loud to the extent that they disrupted us during prayer.

...

(Posted at 11:06 a.m. ET, 6:06 p.m. local time) At least 15 people have been killed and 200 more wounded in the Libyan city of Zawiya, an eyewitness told CNN.

Wounded people started arriving at the hospital Friday morning. Most of the injuries resulted from gunshots, and many of the injuries were to the head and chest.

The eyewitness said the hospital is running out of medical supplies.

"There is a river of blood here in the hospital. The situation is very bad," he said.

Pro Gaddafi firing at people praying in Tripoli mosque of Friday


on MARCH 4, 2011

For video: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=115904248483958&comments

You can hear gunshots and then the person filming comments: People are praying and shots are being fired on them. People are praying yet they are under fire. Did you hear that? That was very close.

More gun fire…Allah its here

They are shooting at the people who are praying!! They are shooting at the people!

People screaming: keep praying, keep praying.
