After months of fighting "operation Mermaid" the code name for Tripoli take over has just began. News from within has it that Ghadafi has left Tripoli possibly via Russian sub-marine or to near by Tunisia. His phone call on to his supporters to go forward and destroy the "rats" was bad fueling speculations that he was calling from out side Tripoli. His spokesman was seen on the street rally supporters a routine usually carried out by Ghadafi or his sons. I'm very happy for the Libyan ppl that finally the end is near. They can soon begin the process of rebuilding the country. Africans leaders have failed in their duties to put pressure on Ghadafi and support the transitional council. I hope this will not affect the migrants will seek jobs in Libya when the dust settles.

* These guys are good in picking code names, Ghadafi sure looks like a mermaid.

This is what happens to a great man who will not listen to the voice of his people. Now, he is going to be a refugee some where or be hidding in a hole bunker like Saddam Hussein, and will be smoked out like a rat very soon.

African leaders have to wake up. Leadership should not be a do-or-die affair. Even If you mean well for your people, no matter how good your intention may be, once the people say "NO", please, respect their wishes.

I hope other African leaders are learning from this episode.
