Who is Muammar Gaddafi? (according to wikipedia)

On Prophet Muhammed’s birthday in 1973, Gaddafi delivered his famous "Five-Point Address" which declared:

- Suspension of all existing laws and implementation of Shari’a

- Purging the country of the "politically sick"

- Creation of a "people’s militia" to "protect the revolution"

- Administrative revolution

- Cultural revolution

School vacations were canceled to teach Gaddafi’s thoughts to children in the summer of 1973.

Gaddafi based his new regime on a blend of Arab nationalism, aspects of the welfare state, and what Gaddafi termed "popular democracy", or more commonly "direct, popular democracy". He called this system "Islamic socialism", and, while he permitted private control over small companies, the government controlled the larger ones. Welfare, "liberation" (or “emancipation” depending on the translation), and education were emphasized. He also imposed a system of Islamic morals, outlawing alcohol and gambling. Like previous revolutionary figures of the 20th century such as Mao and his Little Red Book, Gaddafi outlined his political philosophy in his Green Book to reinforce the ideals of this socialist-Islamic state and published it in three volumes between 1975 and 1979.

In 1977, Gaddafi proclaimed that Libya was changing its form of government from a republic to a "jamahiriya" – a neologism that means "mass-state" or "government by the masses". In theory, Libya became a direct democracy governed by the people through local popular councils and communes. At the top of this structure was the General People’s Congress, with Gaddafi as secretary-general. However, after only two years, Gaddafi gave up all of his governmental posts in keeping with the new egalitarian philosophy.

Gaddafi established close relations with communist regimes.

With respect to Libya’s neighbors, Gaddafi followed Gamal Abdel Nasser’s ideas of pan-Arabism and became a fervent advocate of the unity of all Arab states into one Arab nation. He also supported pan-Islamism, the notion of a loose union of all Islamic countries and peoples. After Nasser’s death on 28 September 1970, Gaddafi attempted to take up the mantle of ideological leader of Arab nationalism. He proclaimed the "Federation of Arab Republics" (Libya, Egypt, and Syria) in 1972, hoping to create a pan-Arab state, but the three countries disagreed on the specific terms of the merger. In 1974, he signed an agreement with Tunisia’s Habib Bourguiba on a merger between the two countries, but this also failed to work in practice and ultimately differences between the two countries would deteriorate into strong animosity.

MEDIA COVERAGE


February 21: Eine Revolution gegen den Revolutionsführer? Von Thomas Schmidinger: Research Fellow an der University of Minnesota (USA) und Vorstandsmitglied der im Nahen Osten tätigen Hilfsorganisation LeEZA.
"The Jamahiriya is the paradise on earth!" verkündete ein Transparent über dem Eingang jenes Jugendcamps, das ich Mitte der 1990er gemeinsam mit anderen linken Jugendlichen aus Europa in Libyen besuchte. Für linke Teenager mit Interesse am arabischen Raum war das damals noch unter einer internationalen Blockade leidende Land mit seinem exzentrischen Revolutionsführer – der behauptete, er habe keinen Staat gegründet, sondern eine basisdemokratische "Volksmassenrepublik" (eben eine Jamahiriya) – durchaus interessant.

Dass es kein Paradies auf Erden war, wurde aber jedem, der seinen Verstand nicht ausgeschalten hatte, rasch klar. Wer es wagte, kritische Fragen zur Menschenrechtssituation zu stellen, wurde zum Handlanger des imperialistisch-zionistischen Feindes erklärt. Nach einer Woche Indoktrinierung mit Phrasen aus der im "Grünen Buch" zusammengefassten kruden politischen Theorie Muammar al-Gaddafis war man entweder auf Linie oder hielt die libysche Führung für völlig verrückt. Spätestens als mir einer der Vorsitzenden irgendeines Revolutionskomitees eine arabische Übersetzung der "Protokolle der Weisen von Zion" mit dem Hinweis empfahl, doch dort nachzulesen wie die Juden die Welt beherrschen würden, war ich von meinen letzten Sympathien für den Revolutionsführer geheilt.

Die Menschenrechtssituation in Libyen ist schon seit langem katastrophal. NGOs haben regelmäßig die völlige Kontrolle der Medien, die politische Justiz und die katastrophalen Bedingungen in den Gefängnissen kritisiert. Die aktuellen Proteste haben sich an der Verhaftung eines Anwalts entzündet. Dieser vertrat Familienangehörige von bis zu 1200 Gefangenen, die das Regime im Jahr 1996 nach einem Häftlingsaufstand im Abu-Salim-Gefängnis bei Tripolis erschießen ließ.

Bis vor einigen Jahren konnten jene, die sich in politischer Enthaltsamkeit übten, zumindest von der breiten Ausschüttung der Gewinne aus den Erdöleinnahmen des Regimes profitieren. Nach den erfolgreichen Revolutionen in den Nachbarstaaten Tunesien und Ägypten scheint dies Libyens Bevölkerung nicht mehr zu genügen. Gaddafi wird jedoch nicht so leicht zu stürzen sein wie Hosni Mubarak oder Zine Ben Ali. Er lässt Söldner gegen die eigene Bevölkerung einsetzen. Sein Sohn, Jörg-Haider-Intimus Saif al-Islam, droht mit Bürgerkrieg.

Gestützt wurde das Regime in den vergangenen Jahren auch von Europa, das Libyen für die Abwehr afrikanischer Flüchtlinge belohnte. Gaddafis Freunde saßen nicht nur in Kärnten, sondern auch in Rom und anderen Hauptstädten Europas. Wird Europa auch das Massaker decken, das Gaddafis untergehendes Regime jetzt an der eigenen Bevölkerung anrichtet?


February 22: Why Libya Will Not Be Democratic Benjamin R. Barber. Author of ‘Strong Democracy’ and ‘Jihad vs. McWorld’

Posted: February 22, 2011 03:16 PM …the outcome is likely to be tragic rather than democratic. …If Gadhafi’s resistance to the resistance fails, he is likely to die a martyr. No comfortable exile in Caracas for him. Remember, Gadhafi is no Mubarak or Bashar al-Assad, a second or third generation bureaucratic heir to once revolutionary dictatorships. He is a founding revolutionary cut from the same cloth as Nasser and Castro, and his revolutionary rhetoric, if seemingly incoherent and irrelevant to the modern world, is authentic, rooted in the (mostly) vanished world of colonialism, imperialism, socialism and people’s democracy.

He is also a clan leader, and in tribal North Africa clans and tribes retain political significance. It was as a member of the Qadaffa clan that Saif Gadhafi pledged allegiance to his father on Sunday night, despite Saif’s own genuine history as a reformer and human rights advocate in Libya. Blood trumps principle. While the other supposedly more complacent and pro-regime sons stood by, Saif stood up and martyred his six-year campaign to rescue Libya from autocracy in order to rescue his father from the consequences of autocracy — embracing his father’s struggle to the death. Cynics write Saif off as a hypocrite and reformist poseur, but the truth is quite different, the stuff of an epic tragedy for which the Libyan people are paying a terrible price.

If, then, Gadhafi loses the "revolutionary" struggle to maintain his Libyan Jamahiriya (people’s democratic revolution) and his tribal struggle to uphold the "honor" of his clan, the Qadaffa, against rivals like the Zuwayya in the East or the Warfalla in the South, Libya may be in for — if not the "civil war" and the "rivers of blood" predicted by Saif Gadhafi on Sunday night — a long period of civil unrest and tribal turmoil. There is no coherent force like a Muslim Brotherhood or a Baathist Party or a professional military to step in either to rule or to pave the way to elections.

The only reform movement was the weak one headed by Saif Gadhafi (!), whose International Foundation for Development and Charity was doing human rights work, and which has now been disbanded (its international governing board on which I served has resigned and its honorable reformist executive director has stepped down in "dismay" over the violence. See my resignation letter at BenjaminBarber.org). But Saif has now aligned himself with his father’s regime. If the father is deposed, there is little chance the son can go back to being a reformer and human rights advocate. And Oxford University Press, which contracted to publish the two extraordinary books Saif wrote on civil society and democratic reform in the developing world, will presumably now cancel publication.

The one thing that will not happen in the event of Gadhafi’s removal from power is democracy; not now, and not for a long time. Nothing like the conditions that obtained in Cairo obtain in Libya. Rather, continued conflict and chaos and an eventual emergence of a new autocratic regime is likely. Probably not an Islamic regime, since Gadhafi’s revolution has been secular and anti-Islamicist, and tribalism is more important than religion in the countryside. In any case, a revolution overthrowing the revolution is not a recipe for democracy. Keep in mind that even in Cairo, the two key members of the Supreme Council supposedly overseeing a transition to democracy are Mubarak’s appointees and comrades-in-arms Field Marshall Tantawi and Prime Minister Shafiq …

IF HE SURVIVES: On the other hand, it is unlikely, but not impossible, that Gadhafi will survive, not just because he has access to overwhelming firepower (if he can control those who wield it), but because he has clan and tribal support and at least tacit consent from many Libyans who have depended on him over the years for their own survival. He is a crafty and intelligent survivalist. No autocrat endures for 42 years holding no formal political office because he is a bumbling buffoon totally out of touch (as the media have always treated him and are treating him now –>Zenga Zenga Song). Indeed, the current efforts at the UN to establish a "no fly zone over Libya" can only give credence to his and Saif’s argument that the uprising will become an excuse for foreign "imperialist" intervention. It was no accident that Gadhafi stood today in front of his old residence, where his daughter died in the U.S. bombing during the Reagan era, to offer his rambling diatribe against foreigners.


February 25: American, French & British Military Advisers Land In Libya, Posted by majestic on February 25, 2011@disinformation According to DEBKAfile, western military advisers have landed in Libya and are actively assisting anti-government forces:

Hundreds of US, British and French military advisers have arrived in Cyrenaica, Libya’s eastern breakaway province, DEBKAfile’s military sources report exclusively. This is the first time America and Europe have intervened militarily in any of the popular upheavals rolling through the Middle East since Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution in early January. The advisers, including intelligence officers, were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk Thursday Feb. 24, for a threefold mission:

1. To help the revolutionary committees controlling eastern Libyan establish government frameworks for supplying two million inhabitants with basic services and commodities;

2. To organize them into paramilitary units, teach them how to use the weapons they captured from Libyan army facilities, help them restore law and order on the streets and train them to fight Muammar Qaddafi’s combat units coming to retake Cyrenaica.

3. The prepare infrastructure for the intake of additional foreign troops. Egyptian units are among those under consideration…


February 26: a christian fundamentalist blogger writes on February 26, 2011 Armed men in green armbands, along with uniformed security forces check those trying to enter the district, where graffiti that says “Gadhafi, you Jew,” “Down to the dog,” and “Tajoura is free” was scrawled on walls.

Outside the capital, rebels held a long swath of about half of Libya’s 1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer) Mediterranean coastline where most of the population lives, and even captured a brigadier general and a soldier Saturday as the Libyan army tried to retake an air base east of Tripoli. The state-run news agency also said the opposition held an air defense commander and several other officers.

On Friday, pro-Gadhafi militiamen — including snipers — fired on protesters trying to mount the first significant anti-government marches in days in Tripoli.

Gadhafi, speaking from the ramparts of a historic Tripoli fort, told supporters to prepare to defend the nation as he faced the biggest challenge to his 42-year rule.

“At the suitable time, we will open the arms depot so all Libyans and tribes become armed, so that Libya becomes red with fire,” Gadhafi said.


February 28 / March 1: Hugo Chavez Refuses To Condemn Muammar Gaddafi, Warns That U.S. Is Preparing Invasion Of Libya First Posted: 02/28/11 11:14 PM Updated: 03/ 1/11 11:00 PM CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Monday that he won’t condemn Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and he warned the United States is preparing an invasion of the North African country.

"A campaign of lies is being spun together regarding Libya," Chavez said during a televised speech. "I’m not going to condemn him. I’d be a coward to condemn someone who has been my friend.

…Chavez slammed the United States for moving naval and air forces closer to Libya amid active international discussions about imposing a no-fly zone over the country, and he warned that U.S. officials are preparing to invade Libya.

Chavez and Gaddafi, united in their mutual antagonism toward Washington, have forged close ties.

Venezuela’s opposition has strongly criticized Chavez for his close relationship to Gaddafi. Earlier on Monday, a coalition of opposition parties warned that Chavez’s failure to take a stand against Gaddafi’s violence crackdown is smearing Venezuela’s reputation.

"By distancing himself from the numerous nations that condemn the criminal actions of the Libyan leader, Chavez makes our country out to be his defender and irresponsibly puts us alongside governments rejected by the international community," the coalition said in a statement.

Opposition politician Gustavo Azocar demanded that Chavez ask Gaddafi to return a replica of the sword that once belonged to 19th-century independence hero Simon Bolivar.

Azocar said in an e-mail sent to The AP on Monday that Venezuela’s foreign minister, Nicolas Maduro, "should explain why the government gave the sword of the Liberator, Simon Bolivar, to an assassin like Gaddafi."

Chavez gave the sword to Gaddafi last year. The self-proclaimed socialist has scoffed at suggestions by his adversaries that protests similar to those sweeping the Middle East could occur in Venezuela.

March 4: Total versandet: Gaddafi und Erdogan. von Markus Bey | 04. März 2011@standard.at Einmarsch, Bombardierung und/oder Flugverbotszone mit (unwahrscheinlich) oder ohne (auch schon oft erprobt) Sanktus der UNO sind für die türkische Führung definitiv tabu. Ein vom Westen arrangierter „regime change" würde den Charakter der arabischen Revolutionen völlig verändern. Das wäre nicht die "neue arabische Welt" mit den zurechtgestutzten USA, von der Ibrahim Kalin, der außenpolitische Berater von Premierminister Tayyip Erdogan träumt. In einem Op-ed für die englischsprachige Ausgabe der Tageszeitung Zaman schrieb er dieser Tage: "Working with democratic governments as equals, the US may cease to be the protector of oppression and corruption in the Arab world."

Jetzt ist es im besonderen Fall mit Libyen so, dass ausgerechnet Erdogan vor knapp drei Monaten den schönen "Gaddafi Menschenrechtspreis" in Tripolis entgegengenommen hat (250.000 US-Dollar) und in seiner Dankesrede, die auslegbare, aber unter den gegenwärtigen libyschen Bedingungen schwierige Feststellung traf: "Wir nehmen eine ehrbare Haltung gegen alle Formen der Ungerechtigkeit und der Ungesetzlichkeit auf der Welt ein, und wir sind reif genug, nötigenfalls uns selbst und unsere Umwelt zu hinterfragen." Aus einer solchen Ecke muss man erst wieder einmal herauskurven können, was eine gewisse Zeit dauert.


March 4: Gedankenexperiment zu Muammar Gaddafi. Von Christian Ortner. 4.März 2011@wienerzeitung.at Machen ein paar hundert oder auch tausend zusätzliche Tote in seiner Mord-Bilanz einen qualitativen Unterschied? Oder ist der Unterschied zwischen dem etwas exzentrischen, aber letztlich doch akzeptierten libyschen Führer und dem Despoten, dem nichts zu wünschen bleibt als eine treffsichere Cruise-Missile, letztlich doch nur die ihm zur Verfügung stehende militärische Macht?

Das kleine Gedankenexperiment macht sichtbar, dass Österreich und der ganze Westen aus der arabischen Revolution bis dato nichts gelernt haben. Die – gewiss schwierige – Frage nach der Grenze zwischen moralischer ("Wir sind auf der Seite der Unterdrückten") und rein interessengeleiteter ("Geschäft ist Geschäft") Außenpolitik ist genauso unbeantwortet wie vor dem Fall der nahöstlichen Dunkelmänner.

Das ist etwas unklug und unredlich. Entschieden wir uns für die interessengeleitete Variante, sollten wir den nach wie vor Unterdrückten von Saudi-Arabien bis Kasachstan ehrlich kommunizieren, dass wir bloß an sogenannter Stabilität und nicht an Wandel interessiert sind und ihre Demokratiebewegung nichts, aber auch gar nichts von uns zu erwarten haben. Das wäre zwar unsympathisch, aber wenigstens ehrlich.

Entschieden wir uns hingegen für eine "moralische" Außenpolitik, und sei es gegen kurzfristige nationale Interessen, wäre ein klares Bekenntnis zu den jeweiligen Demokratiebewegungen die logische Folge, verbunden mit einem Konfrontationskurs gegenüber den Despoten. Das könnte ökonomisch kurzfristig kostspielig sein, aber dafür moralisch stimmig. Das Beispiel Saudi-Arabiens zeigt freilich das Risiko: Dort einen moralisch gerechtfertigten Aufstand zu unterstützen, heißt in der Praxis, einen Benzinpreis von 3 Euro pro Liter zu riskieren.


March 5: Welche Lybien-Optionen haben die USA? Washington (dpa) – Selten hat Barack Obama so lange gezögert und gezaudert. Es dauerte Wochen, bis der US-Präsident öffentlich wenigstens den Abgang von Muammar al-Gaddafi forderte. Doch noch immer haben die USA das Heft des Handelns nicht in die Hand genommen.

Scheinbar hilflos schaut die «Weltmacht Number One» dem Gemetzel in Libyen zu. Zwar heißt es offiziell: Alle Optionen sind offen. Doch in Wahrheit sind die Möglichkeiten beschränkt – Libyen gilt US-Militärs als riskantes Pflaster.

Vor allem die erbitterten Kämpfe um die Stadt Al-Sawija, wo Gaddafi-Einheiten mit schweren Waffen vorgehen, setzen die USA weiter unter Druck. Der Präsident sei entsetzt, berichtet der Sprecher des Weißen Hauses, Jay Carney. Dreimal täglich lasse Obama sich jetzt von seinen Experten über die Lage informieren – ein klares Zeichen, wie ernst der «commander in chief» die Lage nimmt.

«Wir nehmen keine Option vom Tisch», betont Carney – ohne jedoch zu sagen, um welche Alternativen es sich tatsächlich handelt. Doch eines wird immer deutlicher: Der Druck für die Weltmacht USA zu handeln, nimmt zu, je blutiger und grausamer der Kampf in Libyen wird.

So warnt denn die «Washington Post» angesichts der Schlacht um Al-Sawija: «Der Einsatz für Washington erhöht sich.» Die Frage ist: Wie lange können die USA weiterhin tatenlos zuschauen?

Doch die Militärs sind skeptisch, spielen auf Zeit, wiegeln ab. «Es gibt ehrlich gesagt, eine Menge loses Gerede über einige dieser militärischen Optionen», bremste Verteidigungsminister Robert Gates in ungewöhnlich ungeschminkter Manier. Vor allem die immer wieder ins Spiel gebrachte Möglichkeit einer Flugverbotszone irritiert den Minister – die Sache sei riskant und gefährlich, es handele sich um Krieg.

«Lasst uns die Sache beim Namen nennen«, meinte Gates kürzlich vor einem Kongressausschuss. «Eine Flugverbotszone beginnt mit einem Angriff auf Libyen, um die Flugabwehr zu zerstören.» Konkret: US-Kampfjets müssten die libysche Luftwaffe sowie alle Flugabwehrraketen ausschalten. Intern warnen Militärs: Die libysche Abwehr sei effektiver als die irakische beim US-Angriff auf Bagdad 2003.

Immerhin, die US-Militärs sind dabei, für den «Fall der Fälle« Vorbereitungen zu treffen – falls eine Intervention unausweichlich erscheint. So ist etwa der Hubschrauberträger «USS Kearsarge» mit 1200 Mann an Bord , darunter fast 800 Marineinfanteristen, in Kreta eingetroffen, wie der griechische Rundfunk meldet. Das Schiff eignet sich für Landungsunternehmen und Evakuierungsaktionen. Schon am Donnerstag waren auf der Mittelmeerinsel 400 amerikanische Soldaten gelandet, verlautet aus diplomatischen Quellen….


March 8: Gaddafi befiehlt blutige Offensive gegen sein Volk
Die Regimegegner stellen dem Diktator ein 72-Stunden-Ultimatum: Straffreiheit, wenn er ausreist. Doch Muammar Gaddafi antwortet mit einer schweren Offensive. Er lässt Bomben werfen, Panzer vorrücken – und der Westen debattiert ob und wie er eingreifen soll.

SPIEGEL-Reporter Clemens Höges berichtet per SMS, bis zum späten Nachmittag sei es im Kampfgebiet zwischen Ben Dschawad und Ras Lanuf verhältnismäßig ruhig gewesen. Doch dann habe sich die Lage schlagartig geändert: "Es gab ein heftiges Feuergefecht vor Ben Dschawad, Gaddafis Armee setzte wohl auch Raketenwerfer ein. Hier im von Rebellen gehaltenen Ras Lanuf werden gerade die ersten Verwundeten eingeliefert." Von der Front zurückweichende Rebellen klagen in Ras Lanuf: "Unser Leute sterben da draußen. Sie haben Artillerie und Panzer."

Am schlimmsten traf es offenbar den Ort Sawija, der schon seit Tagen schwer umkämpft war. Alex Crawford, Reporter des TV-Senders Sky, berichtet vom rücksichtslosen Vorgehen der Armee. "Die Soldaten schossen nicht, um die Leute zu erschrecken. Sie schossen, um zu töten." Krankenwagen seien von den Soldaten unter Feuer genommen worden, ebenso unbewaffnete Demonstranten, die sich den Panzern entgegenstellten.

Dann die Angriffswelle am Dienstagnachmittag: Ein in London lebender Libyer berichtet der BBC von einem Telefonat mit seiner Familie in Sawija. Seine Angehörigen seien schließlich vor dem heftigen Bombardement aus der Stadt geflohen. Sawija sei "vom Angesicht der Erde gelöscht". Die Gaddafi-treuen Truppen würden wahllos auf alle schießen.

Dem Sky-Reporter geben die Menschen in Sawija ihren Hilferuf mit auf den Weg: "Sagen Sie der Uno, dass wir Hilfe brauchen. Gaddafi bringt ganz Libyen um. Schicken Sie Ihren Bericht. Die Welt muss sehen, was hier passiert."

Die Uno-Vetomacht Russland kritisiert die Gewalt gegen die Bevölkerung in dem nordafrikanischen Land scharf, lehnt aber eine internationale Militäraktion dort ab. Moskau hatte in den vergangenen Jahren mehrfach Waffen an Gaddafi geliefert. Am Mittwoch wird US-Vizepräsident Joe Biden zu Gesprächen mit Kremlchef Dmitri Medwedew in Moskau erwartet.


March 8: Gaddafi jetzt rund um die Uhr unter Beobachtung 08.03.2011, 7:06 Uhr
Bislang hatte die NATO ihre AWACS-Flugzeuge im Mittelmeerraum täglich nur zehn Stunden eingesetzt. Wie der amerikanische NATO-Botschafter Ivo Daalder mitteilte, habe das Bündnis beschlossen, diesen Zeitraum nun auf 24 Stunden auszuweiten. Ziel sei, "ein besseres Bild davon zu bekommen, was wirklich in diesem Teil der Welt vor sich geht." …

Der libysche Außenminister Kussa warf derweil Frankreich, Großbritannien und den USA vor, mit einer Verschwörung die Spaltung Libyens voranzutreiben. Die drei Staaten seien zu diesem Zweck mit den Rebellen in Ostlibyen in Kontakt, sagte Kussa vor Journalisten in Tripolis. "Der Kolonialismus ist wieder zurückgekehrt", sagte Kussa. Libyens territoriale Integrität sei jedoch unantastbar. "Wir werden dafür sterben."


March 9: Gaddafi-Truppen auf dem Vormarsch Gaddafis Truppen stehen offenbar kurz vor der Rückeroberung der Stadt Al-Zawiya im Westen des Landes. Die regierungstreuen Soldaten kontrollierten die Hauptverkehrsstraße und die Vororte, berichteten Aufständische. Panzer seien in 1.500 Meter Entfernung vom zentralen Platz zu sehen, der von Aufständischen gehalten werde. Scharfschützen der Regierungstruppen seien auf fast allen Häusern postiert.

Es werde auf jeden geschossen, der es wage sein Haus zu verlassen, sagte einer der Kämpfer. Die halbe Stadt sei durch Luftangriffe zerstört worden. "Es gibt viele Tote und sie können nicht einmal beerdigt werden. Zawiya sei wie leer gefegt, niemand ist auf den Straßen. Keine Tiere, nicht einmal Vögel sind am Himmel."

Auch im Osten, wo Stellungen der Aufständischen massiv bombardiert wurden, ist die revolutionäre Begeisterung der Ernüchterung gewichen. Gaddafis Truppen griffen den wichtigen Ölhafen Ras Lanuf und dessen Umgebung mit Panzern und Raketen an, berichtete ein Kämpfer. "Das ist nicht gut." Auch die Luftwaffe nahm Stellungen der Aufständischen unter Feuer.

Der Ruf nach einer Flugverbotszone über Libyen wurde in den vergangenen Tagen besonders in der arabischen Welt immer lauter. Großbritannien und Frankreich bereiten eine UNO-Resolution für eine Flugverbotszone vor. Ein entsprechender Entwurf soll noch in dieser Woche im Sicherheitsrat eingebracht werden. US-Verteidigungsminister Gates machte indes deutlich, dass eine Flugverbotszone nur durchgesetzt werden könne, wenn vorher Libyens Luftabwehr zerstört würde.


March 13: Gaddafi-Truppen gewinnen wegen Zögern der EU an Boden [shanghai daily]
Da sich internationale Gremien derzeit noch nicht zum Errichten einer Flugverbotszone über Libyen durchringen konnten, bombardieren Gaddafis Kampfflugzeuge die Rebellen im blutigen Kampf um seine Macht.

Im Westen von Tripolis erschien die Revolte von Zawiyah nahezu zerdrückt, da sich einige Rebellen nur noch in einigen Teilen der zerrütteten Stadt aufhalten. Anwohner berichteten von Blutbädern, wonach sich auch Frauen und Kinder unter den Toten befinden sollen.

Während die führenden Regierungsmitglieder der Europäischen Union gestern in Brüssel zusammentrafen, wiederholte Lybiens Rebellenführer seine Forderung nach der Einrichtung einer Flugverbotszone und warnte im Falle eines Zögerns zugleich vor einer Rückgewinnung der Region durch Gaddafi.

"Wir bitten die internationale Gemeinschaft darum, dass sie ihre Verantwortungen wahrnehmen", sagte Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, Kopf des Nation Lybian Council. "Die Lybier werden von Gaddafis Luftarmee bedroht. Wir baten um eine Flugverbotszone und erwarten darüber hinaus auch ein See-Embargo. Wir brauchen dringend Waffen sowie humanitäre und sanitäre Hilfe für die von Gaddafis Truppen belagerten Städt."

Der Britische Premierminister David Cameron sagte, dass die EU ihre Isolationsmaßnahmen gegen Gaddafi verschärfen müssten. Frankreichs Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy hat bereits Lybiens National Council als legitime Autorität anerkannt und sieht wie Cameron ebenfalls einen dringenden Handlungsbedarf der EU.

August 22: Leaders urge ‘tyrant’ Gaddafi to end fight @ Al Jazeera

International leaders have urged Muammar Gaddafi to concede defeat in his struggling to hold onto power in Libya as scenes of celebration broke out in central Tripoli as rebels advanced into the heart of the capital.

"Tonight, the momentum against the Gaddafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant," said US President Barack Obama.

Obama also called on the opposition Transitional National Council, which Washington recognises as Libya’s legitimate governing authority, to demonstrate leadership, respect human rights, preserve the institutions of the Libyan state and move towards democracy.

"The Gaddafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator."

He went on to say that Gaddafi and his followers should "recognise that their rule has come to an end".

"Gaddafi needs to acknowledge the reality that he no longer controls Libya. He needs to relinquish power once and for all."



But Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez condemned NATO, which has backed the rebels by enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya and launching hundreds of air strikes against Gaddafi’s forces, for "demolishing" Tripoli.

"Today we are seeing images of how the democratic European governments – well some of them are (democratic), we know who they are – are practically demolishing Tripoli with their bombs and the supposedly democratic government of the United States, because they feel like it."

"Today they dropped I don’t know how many bombs, and they are dropping them indiscriminately and openly and they are not explaining anything, over schools, hospitals, houses, businesses, factories, farms. This is happening right now."


August 22:
Heavy Clashes Near Qaddafi Compound as Rebels Overtake Most of Tripoli @foxnews

By Monday morning, a rebel spokesman told Al Jazeera that Qaddafi loyalists only controlled between 15 and 20 percent of the city, Reuters reported.

Abdel-Rahman says that Qaddafi troops remain a threat to rebels advanced into the city Sunday, and that as long as Qaddafi remains on the run the "danger is still there."

AP reporters with the rebels said they reached the Tripoli suburb of Janzour around nightfall Sunday. They were greeted by civilians lining the streets and waving rebel flags.

Qaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, was captured by rebel forces as they overtook the city….

"It’s over, frizz-head," chanted hundreds of jubilant men and women massed in Green Square, using a mocking nickname of the curly-haired Qaddafi. The revelers fired shots in the air, clapped and waved the rebels’ tricolor flag. Some set fire to the green flag of Qaddafi’s regime and shot holes in a poster with the leader’s image.

21st Oct: Moammar Gadhafi Dead Photo and Video Circulates After Dictator’s Death by Kate James
Since the news of Moammar Gadhafi’s death people have wanted confirmation, which has come as the day has worn on. In addition, there has been a shocking Gadhafi death photo and video that show the dictator’s last seconds.

Both the video of the dictator’s last bloody, confused seconds and the Gadhafi death photo are graphic and shocking. Some newscasts played the video tonight without even a bit of warning, which shocked people who were watching. Everybody wants to know that the Libyan dictator is dead, but not everybody has to see such gruesome evidence.

The raw video shows plenty of confusing blood and gunshots. Moammar Gadhafi goes across the screen with blood pouring from his head covering his face and clothing. The scene is pure bedlam. The group was quite violent, and showed him no mercy near the end. You can check it out below, but be warned that it is disturbing.

The Gadhafi dead photo is no better either. It is graphic showing the lifeless dictator’s body flopped at a strange angle in a pool of his own blood.

24th Oct: NATO commander no idea Gadhafi in targeted convoy (AP, Brussels) "We saw a convoy and we had no idea that Gadhafi was on board. In fact, I was surprised that Gadhafi was in the Sirte area," the commander of NATO operations in Libya, Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, said during a video conference from his headquarters in Naples, Italy.



Bouchard said NATO air surveillance had detected about 175 vehicles assembling in Sirte early Thursday, preparing to transport remaining loyalists out of the besieged coastal town as forces of the new government mounted their final assault.

"The vehicles started to make their way out, and one of the outcomes of this was the concern (that forces) from Sirte would join with the remnants of forces from Bani Walid and move into another desert area," Bouchard said.



The airstrikes were among the 26,000 sorties and 9,600 strike missions flown by NATO warplanes in the past seven months, during which around 5,900 military targets were destroyed. These included Libya’s air defenses and more than 1,000 tanks, vehicles and guns, as well as Gadhafi’s command and control networks.

The daily airstrikes enabled the rebels’ ragtag forces to advance and take Tripoli two months ago. On Sunday, Libya’s interim rulers declared the country liberated, launching the oil-rich nation on what is meant to be a two-year transition to democracy.

Surely the good rebels of Libya that my country, France, has been supporting with 500 Million euros that it did not have to spare, were not capable of such a thing.

30th Oct: Gaddafi: ‘He died an angry and disappointed man’ By Katya Adler, BBC News, Misrata
A trusted member of Col Gaddafi’s inner circle, Mansour Dhao was captured with him in Sirte. He provides a rare insight into the former dictator’s state of mind in his last hours and days.

"Gaddafi was nervous. He couldn’t make any calls or communicate with the outside world. We had little food or water. Sanitation was bad," he told me.

"He paced up and down in a small room, writing in a notebook. We knew it was over. Gaddafi said, ‘I am wanted by the International Criminal Court. No country will accept me. I prefer to die by Libyan hands’."

Mansour Dhao said Col Gaddafi then made the decision to go to his birthplace, the nearby valley of Jarref. I asked if it was a suicide mission.

"It was a suicide mission," Mansour Dhao said. "We felt he wanted to die in the place he was born. He didn’t say it explicitly, but he was going with the purpose to die."

But Col Gaddafi’s plan was thwarted – his convoy was bombed by Nato.

The once-feared dictator scrambled into a water pipe for cover. That is where he was found and captured.
