| Politics › World Governments Scrabble To Evacuate Nationals From Libya. by violent(op): 4:42pm On Feb 23, 2011 |
Governments around the world are making a run to get their citizens out of volatile Libya. Here is a country-by-country breakdown: TURKEY Two ferry boats carrying more than 3,000 Turks left the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi early Wednesday morning, the foreign ministry in Turkey said. Two more ferry boats -- each capable of carrying 1,200 people -- are headed to the North African nation. The boats will carry food and medical supplies for Libyans as demanded by the Turkish prime minister, the foreign ministry said. The ministry added that in addition to the daily scheduled flights by Turkish Airlines to Tripoli, seven more planes are on standby in case it is permitted to fly to Benghazi airport or make additional flights to Tripoli. Since Saturday, Turkey has evacuated 2,100 citizens from Libya, the ministry said. BRITAIN The British Foreign Office said a charter flight is leaving Gatwick Airport early Wednesday afternoon for Tripoli, and will be carrying supplies of food and water for British nationals at the airport in the Libyan capital. A second flight will leave the U.K. as soon as possible, the Foreign Office said. A consular team from the British Embassy is already on the ground at Tripoli's airport and is in place to assist British nationals. That team will be reinforced by two specialist consular teams, one of which has already arrived in Libya. The other is on the charter flight from Gatwick, the Foreign Office said. The British Embassy is in contact with about 300 British nationals in and around Tripoli and was giving them instructions on how to catch the charter flights, the office explained. Britain said its citizens who don't have "a pressing need to remain in the country should leave by commercial means if it is safe to do so." The government was advising Britons who want to leave Libya but can't buy tickets online "to travel to the airport carrying sufficient cash to buy tickets." British Airways and BMI canceled its flights to and from Tripoli for Wednesday, and was reviewing flights scheduled to depart later in the week. FRANCE The foreign ministry in France said that it had sent three planes to Libya to help repatriate French citizens and that its embassy in Tripoli was helping to get citizens to the airport. SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia said it is sending a special passenger plane to Tripoli Wednesday morning. SYRIA Syria said it will send two flights Wednesday morning and had sent two others Tuesday to run between Damascus and Tripoli. The Syrian Arab News Agency said the country is ready to launch an "unlimited number of flights if necessary." It added that Syria may also send a ship to the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi to help evacuate Syrians. THE NETHERLANDS The government in the Netherlands said a military plane and a Dutch frigate would help evacuate its nationals in Libya. THE UNITED STATES The United States State Department was not able to land charter planes in Tripoli to fly out U.S. citizens because Libyan authorities did not give permission for those aircraft to land, a senior administration official said Tuesday. So, the State Department was chartering a ferry to take travelers from central Tripoli's As-shahab port to Valletta, Malta, on Wednesday. The American embassy in Libya confirmed that the ferry was anchored near the harbor of the As-shahab Port in central Tripoli. The processing of U.S. citizens had begun and seats were still available. Travelers should have all proper travel documents and may bring one suitcase and one carry-on item, the embassy said. Pets are allowed, but must meet stringent EU requirements once they reach Malta. The passengers will be required to reimburse the U.S. government later. U.S. military forces have not been requested to assist in the evacuation of American citizens from Libya, Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said. CANADA Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said on Tuesday Canada intended to evacuate its citizens. Ottawa, which earlier in the day said it had no such plans, announced the evacuation after Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi vowed to crush a growing revolt. Cannon said the first Canadian flight would arrive in Tripoli on Thursday. Of the 321 Canadians registered with the embassy, 91 have so far expressed a wish to leave. INDIA India is finalizing plans to evacuate all 18,000 of its nationals from Libya, the country’s foreign secretary said late on Tuesday, hours after local media reported the death of an Indian in a road collision in the country. India’s foreign ministry plans to move 13,000 nationals in Tripoli to Tunisia, and the remainder in the east of the country to Egypt, before transferring them on ships and aircraft, the Indian Express reported on Wednesday, citing a ministry official. JAPAN: Kyodo news agency reported that about 20 Japanese people in Libya were set to leave the country on Tuesday on charter flights. About 50-60 Japanese are still in the country. Zambia Zambia’s foreign affairs minister Kabinga Pande said in the capital Lusaka on Wednesday that 42 Zambians will be flwon out of Libya anytime.He said those to be evacuated include embassy staff and a footballer.

4.) if there is "DISCONTENT" with a government in the West (just like we have with Obama V.s the Tea Party recently) do the people "violently overthrow" the government? Do other people finance (or have the right to) finance citizens who are against the current government OR do they wait till the next election to VOTE THEM OUT?What I can't remember when last i read a heap load of crap!In the UK, governmental policies are subjected to approval of a congress, which means, the people have a say in how the government is ran. I find it amazing and surprising that you compare that with Libya, a country without constitution and one in which Ghadaffi's statements is considered as the Law?Between the two, I would expect that if not blinded by sentiments, you'd be smart enough, to discern one which is more desirable! The protesters in Libya are Libyans, not Americans nor Britons. why is that difficult for you to understand? Did the US encourage all those people in Libya to go out and face certain death in the hands on unruly mercenaries who take no prisoners? |

I swear, I swear…orders, orders”. A protestor: “They told you to fire at us”? The man: “Yes, yes”. The mob begins to fight. Numerous voices begin to shout “no, don’t do that…make him talk.

| Politics › People Arrested In Zimbabwe For watching videos by violent(op): 10:53pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
JOHANNESBURG — Dozens of students, trade unionists and political activists who gathered to watch Al Jazeera and BBC news reports on the uprisings that brought down autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt have been arrested on suspicion of plotting to oust President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. James Sabau, a spokesman for the police, which is part of the security services controlled by Mr. Mugabe’s party, was quoted in Monday’s state-controlled newspaper as saying that the 46 people in custody were accused of participating in an illegal political meeting where they watched videos “as a way of motivating them to subvert a constitutionally elected government.” The evidence seized by the police included a video projector, two DVD discs and a laptop. Lawyers for the men and women in custody said they had not yet been formally charged but had been advised they may be accused of “attempting to overthrow the government by unconstitutional means,” a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Mr. Mugabe, who turned 87 on Monday, and his party ruled Zimbabwe single-handedly from 1980 until 2009, when regional leaders pressured him into forming a power-sharing government with his longtime political rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, following a discredited 2008 election. Mr. Tsvangirai withdrew from a June runoff that year to protest state-sponsored beatings of thousands of his supporters. An estimated 350 people died in the violence. “The illegal meeting’s agenda, Inspector Sabau said, was ‘Revolt in Egypt and Tunisia: What lessons can be learnt by Zimbabwe and Africa?’” the state-controlled Herald reported. Inspector Sabau found the topic incriminating, but many Zimbabweans have been asking themselves that very question as democratic revolutions have swept Arab nations. Like former President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Mr. Mugabe is an octogenarian autocrat in power for three decades. And also like Mr. Mubarak, he has used the state security services to harass, jail and torture his opponents. But there are differences as well. The United Nations recently found Zimbabweans to be among the world’s poorest people, often making mere survival an all-consuming task. They also have less access to the Internet than Egyptians, depriving them of one of the tools that helped organize the mass protests in Cairo. And while the army in Egypt did not side with Mr. Mubarak when his people rose up against him, most analysts assume the leadership of Zimbabwe’s military would attempt to crush any such movement — though such an effort would also severely test the loyalty of impoverished soldiers to their military commanders. Nonetheless, some of Mr. Mugabe’s most influential opponents have also criticized Mr. Tsvangirai’s leadership, arguing that the people power in north Africa offers an example for Zimbabweans to resist Mr. Mugabe’s rule. “Indeed, the single most important lesson from Tunisia and Egypt is that we as Zimbabweans are our own liberators,” Trevor Ncube, owner of three independent newspapers in Zimbabwe and the Mail & Guardian in South Africa, wrote this week in the Mail & Guardian. He added later, “The world will only help us when we stand up and fight for our freedom and reclaim our country from Mugabe and the arrogant clique around him.” Munyaradzi Gwisai, a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe’s law school, was an organizer of the gathering, which took place on Saturday and exposed activists who have no Internet access or Cable television to images from the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. Alec Muchadehama, a human rights lawyer who met Mr. Gwisai at the Harare Central police station, said detainees told him Mr. Gwisai was one of seven people in custody who were beaten with truncheons at the police station. Mr. Muchadehama, who often represents arrested journalists and activists, said Mr. Gwisai and others at the meeting were not plotting the government’s overthrow, but were engaged in “an academic debate about what was happening in Tunisia and Egypt.” A socialist and iconoclast who was expelled from Mr. Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change in 2002 for supporting an aggressive land reform program at a time when Mr. Mugabe’s party was pursuing violent land seizures from whites, Mr. Gwisai, like many of his countrymen, has been watching the unrest in Arab nations. “Obviously, all the happenings in Egypt and Tunisia have been taking center stage,” said his wife, Shantha Bloemen, who works for the United Nations in Johannesburg. “The meeting was an opportunity to discuss what’s happened, especially for people who don’t have access to the Internet or cable TV, both to express solidarity and to discuss the implications for Zimbabwe.” As Mr. Mugabe’s party pushes for elections this year in a drive to reclaim sole power, human rights groups have warned that the police and youth militia aligned with Mr. Mugabe’s party have intensified harassment, beatings and arrests of Mr. Mugabe’s political opponents. The revolts in North Africa appear to have made Mr. Mugabe’s inner circle nervous — and the arrests were a sharp warning to those emboldened by them, they said. “This is a message that ‘if you attempt anything, we’re going to arrest you, assault you, incarcerate you, lay false charges against you, deny you bail, and occupy you with false trials,’” said Mr. Muchadehama. “That’s the message — ‘don’t attempt this, it can’t be done here.’” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/world/africa/22zimbabwe.html?src=twrhp |

cap28:I am hoping you might be able to tell how this post of yours address the people's {Libyan citizens} thirst for new leadership, freedom and democracy in Libya and why Gadaffhi has defied all odds and resorted to genocide just to hold on to power. Additionally, Mr A is doing it, should not make it right and just for Mr B to do the same, it's only a matter of time before it extends to the Saudi royal family, the wave started in Tunisia, swept on to Egypt, now to Libya, why not grab a popcorn and not jump the gun? I should also point out that the West as you call it are not under any obligation to interfere in the political runnings of an independent state, the only reason they could interfere is if clear cases of genocide is being carried out by the government, which is clearly against the principal tents of the United Nations Security Council. Another reason why a country might send it's military to interfere in a political turmoil is if it has established claims that its citizens are trapped in such turmoils and is unable to extract it's citizen in a manner that is friendly according to terms in their foreign policies, then it could send in it's military to protect it's citizen. What has any of this got to do with June 12 and annulment of election, or the Libyan crises which is actually the principal topic of the thread? It's bizzare the way people accuse the West of everything bad that happens in their bedroom, i bet America has got something to do with students not passing WAEC in Nigeria. it has to be. . .America is intending to profit from ignorance of the black race, the lesser people have motivation to attend University, the more America and the rest of the West retain their positions as world leaders in technology and research, hence, more than a third and quarter of Nigerian students fail WAEC every year. |

| Politics › Warplanes And Militia Fire On Protesters In Libya! by violent(op): 8:18pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
The faltering government of the Libyan strongman Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi struck back at mounting protests against his 40-year rule, as helicopters and warplanes besieged parts of the capital Monday, according to witnesses and news reports from Tripoli. By Monday afternoon, a witness saw armed militiamen firing on protesters who were clashing with riot police. As a group of protesters and the police faced off in a neighborhood near Green Square, in the center of the capital, ten or so Toyota pickup trucks carrying more than 20 men — many of them apparently from other African countries in mismatched fatigues — arrived at the scene. Holding small automatic weapons, they started firing in the air, and then started firing at protesters, who scattered, the witness said. “It was an obscene amount of gunfire,” said the witness. “They were strafing these people. People were running in every direction.” The police stood by and watched, the witness said, as the militiamen, still shooting, chased after the protesters. The escalation of the conflict came after Colonel Qaddafi’s security forces had earlier in the day retreated to a few buildings in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, fires burned unchecked, and senior government officials and diplomats announced defections. The country’s second-largest city remained under the control of rebels. Security forces loyal to Mr. Qaddafi defended a handful of strategic locations, including the state television headquarters and the presidential palace, witnesses reported from Tripoli. Fires from the previous night’s rioting burned at many intersections, most stores were shuttered, and long lines were forming for a chance to buy bread or gas. In a sign of growing cracks within the government, several senior officials — including the justice minister and members of the Libyan mission to the United Nations — broke with Mr. Qaddafi. And protesters in Benghazi, the second-largest city, where the revolt began and more than 200 were killed, issued a list of demands calling for a secular interim government led by the army in cooperation with a council of Libyan tribes. Mr. Qaddafi’s security forces waved green flags as they rallied in Tripoli’s central Green Square on Monday under the protection of a handful of police, witnesses said. They constituted one of the few visible signs of government authority around the capital. The once ubiquitous posters of Colonel Qaddafi around the capital had been torn down or burned, witnesses said. Colonel Qaddafi’s whereabouts were not known. Tripoli descended into chaos in less than 24 hours as a six-day-old revolt suddenly spread from Benghazi across the country on Sunday. The revolt shaking Libya is the latest and most violent turn in a rebellion across the Arab world that seemed unthinkable just two months ago and that has already toppled autocrats in Egypt and Tunisia. The Libyan government has tried to impose a blackout on the country. Foreign journalists cannot enter. Internet access has been almost totally severed, though some protesters appear to be using satellite connections or to be phoning information to news services outside the country. In a rambling, disjointed address delivered about 1 a.m. on Monday, Mr. Qaddafi’s son Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi played down the uprising sweeping the country, which witnesses and rights activists say has left more than 220 people dead and hundreds wounded from gunfire by security forces. He repeated several times that “Libya is not Tunisia or Egypt, ” neighbors to the east and west. The United States condemned the Qaddafi government’s lethal use of force. Witnesses in Tripoli interviewed by telephone on Monday said protesters had converged on the capital’s central Green Square and clashed with heavily armed riot police for several hours after Mr. Qaddafi’s speech, apparently enraged by it. Young men armed themselves with chains around their knuckles, steel pipes and machetes, as well as police batons, helmets and rifles commandeered from riot squads. Security forces moved in, shooting randomly. By the morning, businesses and schools remained closed in the capital, the witnesses said. There were several government buildings on fire — including the Hall of the People, where the legislature meets — and reports of looting. News agencies reported that several foreign oil and gas companies were moving on Monday to evacuate some workers from the country. The Portuguese government sent a plane to Libya to pick up its citizens and other residents of the European Union, while Turkey sent two ferries for its construction workers, The Associated Press reported. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/world/africa/22libya.html |

So what does it mean, genius? How come Americans and Britons are not coming in droves to live in Nigeria? Whether you accept it or you choose to be in denial, people leave Nigeria for greener pastures because compared to Nigeria, their destination vis-a-vis their present abode is more desirable than Nigeria. it is not your place to decide what is and where is not desirable for others.First, people emigrate for a number of reasons, and it will be a premature manner of thinking if you inferred that Nigerians emigrate in their thousands to Libya for economic prospects available in the latter. Nigerians in Libya are mostly known to be involved in drug dealing and prostitution, I hardly ever hear of a rational individual leaving the shores of Nigeria to study in Libya or take up positions as an Investment Banker, it's just way off, . . . People leaving one country for another doesn't translate to their destination country being more desirable, it only offers more opportunities to thrive in markets that matches closely with their interest, be it legal or illegal, . . I wouldn't expect you to be dumb to infer that a point in my statement {^^ above} meant that all Nigerians in Libya are into drug dealing and prostitution, I would hope that you understand that i meant only very few Nigerians travel to Libya to seek legitimate greener pastures. So If I have to go by your logic, the more you stay in power, the more evil you are? So Ghaddafi is a greater evil than say Mubarak?There is no point being unreasonable by merely quoting my prints in a shallow manner that dose not portray the original logic intended. Libya is owned by Libyans NOT Ghadaffi. Libyans deserve the right to chose who their leader should be. Libyans deserve a right to be in the know on how their country is governed, . . . Ghadaffi, in my definition becomes "evil" when he chose to hold on to power for 42 years against the people's wishes and would not hesitate to bring down the might of the military on whoever dares speak up or protest against his government. The damn country does not even have a constitution, Libyan policies are shaped by what Ghadaffi thinks is right and wrong, and God help you if his coffee comes late, he could have you hanged by the balls without anyone having a legal standing to prosecute him. Ghadaffi is a Libyan citizen, NOT a Libyan god, he should never be allowed to assume the status of the latter. I also think it's disturbing that you feel unarmed protesters are Law breaking citizens, it sounds like what Ghaddafi or Abacha might say! When you say we. . . are you implying Nigerians? Did you not hear about the guy, was it Borno or Kano, who got arrested for openly disagreeing with the Governor of his state on Facebook? Do you know that something like that would never happen in Libya? So who here is really adhering to the tenets of democracy. . . The Libyans who are free to say as they please or the Nigerians who face harsh extra-judicial treatment for the slightest disagreement they have with their leaders. That is just one example, there are others like the the Lawyer who got beaten up by OGD aides sometime last year for refusing to vacate his assigned seat on a plane and there are many more examples I am more than willing to site should you be interested.Nigerians have a legal standing to fight injustice meted out to them by their leaders when armed with the right means to do so. Libyans don't! The case of Uzoma Okere comes to mind, she got awarded 100 million for being assaulted by naval ratings. Nigerians have held successful peaceful protest against the government on several occasions, in Libya, protesters are shot at by the military! Yes, their are several cases extra judicial treatments and assault by government officials taking place in the country, but the highly informed victims see to it that Justice is done and are eventually duly compensated. In Libya, you will be too lucky to get an apology. It seems to me that you along with cap28, are focused on "Ghadaffi standing up against America", and have actually neglected what is best for Libyan citizens. Additionally, it is worrisome that most of you while enjoying the dividends of democracy[i] [even if not as much as you expected to[/i]] are asking that Libyans remain within the claws of a tyrant. shame on you all! |

Thousands of Nigerians flood Yemen, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Guniea-Bissau all of which are by far poorer than Nigeria and some of which are still being torn down by massive effects of civil war. as for your second question, Yes, staying in power does translates to evil. Are you reading the news at all? Hundreds of unarmed Libyan protesters are being shot just because this dude has an unquenchable thirst to hang on to power and you wouldn't describe that as being evil?. . . .

Here you are probably banging away at your keyboard, expressing what you think and do not think, some of us even have enough guts to call our president all sort of unprintable names, we petition and sue the feds, just to drive home our point, Libyans don't have that, they are expected to shut the héll up lest some gay relinquish the might of the military on them, what sort of life is that? |

You don't think before making these your daft comparisons.People really do come across as dense and it berates me the sorts of comaprisions and justifications they attempt to back their claim! if anything, Libyans have more reasons to hate Ghadaffi than Egyptians have for Mubarak. The dude has been been a dictator for 41 years, now that the people want change, the son-of-a-bítch orders the slaying of his own people, and some dude in his right senses think this is right! |

^^^ You can imagine that, and someone here thinks Gadaffi is doing the right thing! Gadaffi is doing the right thing, the west is trying to topple him by way of a fake "revolution", Libya unlike Egypt is not a client state of the US and therefore Gadaffi is well within his rights to fight off any attempt to topple him."Any means" ---meaning if that includes killing his own countrymen in thousands just to hang on to power. It's really disturbing the way people think. Hundreds are mourning their relatives as we speak, simply because they desired what everyone else desires----a government by the people, why should that be even wrong? I am hoping someone could at least provide some sort of plausible explanation on how US could have secretly been the center of the Libyan protest,. . it would be too stúpid to think all those who believe that the protest is controlled by some powers in the west don't have a reason for thinking so. |

cap28:wow! the same game isn't it? where the US gets the blame for every goat that misses it's menstrual cycle in North Africa or middle east. Are the protesters Americans? oh lemme guess,. . . . . yeah, they must have received a secret call from white house to protest a 41 years dictatorship! Isn't it plausible to think Libyans are also tired and would love to see Gaddaffi leave his positions? did the US also organised the October 1993 attempted assassination of this tyrant by elements within his own army? Was it the US that started the crises in Tunisia as well? . . . it has to be!. . . the late Mohamed Bouazizi must have received a call from the United States secretary of states to set himself on fire which eventually was the situation that led to the protest. .! |
