[size=13pt]More than 8,000 Libyans killed in revolt: rebel[/size]




(Reuters) - More than 8,000 Libyans aligned with the rebel movement that rose up against Muammar Gaddafi have been killed in the revolt against his rule, a spokesman for the rebel movement told Al Jazeera Sunday.

"Our dead and martyrs number more than 8,000 killed," Abdel Hafiz Ghoga said.

He criticized Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa over comments that appeared to be critical of military action by the United States and its allies against Libya.

The Arab League had called for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya to protect civilians from Gaddafi's forces but Moussa Sunday condemned "the bombardment of civilians."

"What is happening in Libya differs from the aim of imposing a no-fly zone, and what we want is the protection of civilians and not the bombardment of more civilians," Egypt's state news agency quoted Moussa as saying.

Ghoga said: "Today, when the secretary general spoke, I was surprised."


"What is the mechanism that stops the extermination of the people in Libya, what is the mechanism, Mr. Secretary General? If the protection of civilians is not a humanitarian obligation, what is the mechanism that you propose to us?" he asked.

uum . . . If you read the article again, you would understand that the man is not complaining of the military strikes. In period of one month, Ghaddafi has taken out 8000 of his own people. That is what the article is telling you.

"Our dead and martyrs number more than 8,000 killed," Abdel Hafiz Ghoga said.

Since you feel the killings are JUSTIFIED in your way, why not immediately move your whole family down to libya so you can share this fate with these people? undecided undecided

They? Oh wait, you are the one JUSTIFYING the killings here and if you truly do not have family, you can still move down there yourself. Go Join the libyan down in Libya and tell them you are in support of their being killed by their former President.

What is the topic here? If you have discussion ADHD, and are unable to focus on the discussion, then know that I am has grin, I prefer to stick to the topic at hand! Right now those who are dying in Libya are libyans and they are speaking to get our attention, if you feel their voice is not worth much to you, then find someone else to bother with your complaints.
Re: More Than 8,000 Libyans Killed In Revolt: Rebel by Nobody: 5:14am On Mar 22, 2011

I'm sure Libyan doesn't want foreign intervention especially coming from US,as usual US drag UN into this no fly zone and supplying the rebels with arms. Arab league and Africa Union are backing out after forcing them to support the no fly zone.

Shows you have not been listening. The only reason the world decided to step in was because the Arab League, and Libyans around the world have been calling for something to be done to help safeguard their people and families. If you could remove yourself from the equation, you would notice that even Egyptians are now sending weapons in to help the people protect themselves from the president's forces. But I guess it is hard for you to see that since you are stuck on the west so hard that nothing else makes a sound to you.

Why do People make this thing an "American" thing?  when so many countries are involved?

America was one of the last countries to back military support, i don't see anyone mentioning France on this thread.

As for those who think because coalition forces haven't intervened in genocidal cases in the past, it shouldn't do the same in the future or the present, I wonder if you people have an IQ figure the same number as your age.

what are you talking about? you don't live in Libya yet you are sure that Libyans don't need help from the US? may be they'll need help from Arab league or from the lame body called AU both of who are going to do nothing to avert the looming bloodbath in Benghazi, It was obvious that Gadafi was going for a massacre in Benghazi yet the stupid Arab league and AU stand by doing nothing and you said the Libyans don't need help and you insinuating that residents of Benghazi are not Libyans?, the small children, the sick the elderly and other harmless civilians who could have been massacred by the gadafi merciless merceneries, my friend you post make no sense at all please think deeply before you post I'm sure the UN will not have passed this resoluation or even bombed Libya at all if Gadafi sues for peace and offered to step down as being requested by the populace.

How can any sane human being criticize the west for coming to the aid of the helpless Libyans who are being murdered in their own country by their own government. There are many things which the UN has done in the past and which they wouldn't be willing to do in this present era, such as there silence on the Rwandan genocide and citing such case as evidence against their intervention in Libya's would be pogrom is tantamount to denying the possibility of human progress.
At times the tree that bear the fruit of everlasting peace is best watered with blood.
Re: More Than 8,000 Libyans Killed In Revolt: Rebel by Jenifa1: 9:26am On Mar 22, 2011
So, is this Libya crisis going to escalate into a full blown war (with American involvement as usual)?
Re: More Than 8,000 Libyans Killed In Revolt: Rebel by sadyeek(m): 10:09am On Mar 22, 2011
i just cant imagine how people think the west is doing the right thing by sticking their nose were it doesnt belong. what you peoole fail to see is the fact that ghadafi wasnt killing inlocent civilians but those stubbon rabels who refuse to back down and are trying to cause instability to libya. comon guy if it were u, would u just sit back and watch a group of rabels funded by most probably the west to take over your country?? most deff not.
the west always brings trouble, i mean look at afghanistan and iraq. israel massacre thousands of innocent palistines but no airforce of any sort came to the rescue, it obviosly got something else to it other than goodwill. i dont mean ghadafi is right to stick to power but i am in support of war against those western bullies who for some reason think of them selves as leaders of the free world.

Without getting into the legal aspects of the No-fly zone, what I find amusing is that the Republicans are complaining yet it was under their government that they illegally invaded Iraq.

Does anyone else see hypocrisy?
Re: More Than 8,000 Libyans Killed In Revolt: Rebel by Nobody: 11:39am On Mar 22, 2011
Western hype, has the figure been verified? Some claimed this war is not about oil but humanitarian necessity, but the no fly zone has now been interpreted and expanded to include assasination inspite of claims by the invaders that they've been able to stop Gadaffi troops from attacking rebels in benghazi, thereby empowering these so called civilians "rebels" to overthrow the govt. It means the so called no fly zone is just a front to murder Gadaffi and impose a puppet regime in libya by these western hypocrites and their allies!
Re: More Than 8,000 Libyans Killed In Revolt: Rebel by igbsam(m): 11:53am On Mar 22, 2011
So many Daft people on NL, Reading it upside down. I came back to Nigeria from Libya after a short visit and during the wake of the protest. If u were there to see things for your self, you would accept that libya needs to be liberated from this man called Ghaddafi. Imagine the people living in the fear of him or saying anything against him. His soldiers do what they like. Killing means nothing to him. This guy is killing the people he's ruling and you want the international community to sit back and look ? What happens to the African Union, oh, they are scared of him 2 ? The US are not the ones killing the citizens, its ghadaffi himself.

I didn't go there to live. Went there on a business trip for my firm. True we have Nigerians trying to earn a living there and its not only in libya that we have Nigerians or other foreigners, they move to other countries too. Why would the citizen of libya be living in fear of the man. Fine the guy developed the country to what it is. But lo and behold, there are other areas that are worst than Ajegunle there. Just like Nigeria, they show u d finest places and u feel nigeria is paradise, so it is there. u say something against ghadaffi just like we say all sort of things against GEJ and other politicians here. say it and be heard by one of his soldiers, then u have a room waiting for u in one of his dirty jail. The people are tired of all this, dats why they are asking for liberation.
