Beware of strangers bearing gifts. Post-modern Amazon and United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally landed in Tripoli – on a military jet – to lavish praise on the dodgy Transitional National Council (TNC), those pportunists/defectors/Islamists formerly known as “North Atlantic Treaty Organization rebels”.

Glasgow protest in solidarity with the people of Sirte

I can’t find much on Libya in the mainstream media today. They seem to have gone quiet of late after trumpeting the great NATO “victory” in Sirte last week. Perhaps they’re resting on their laurels this week after the destruction of that city of about 100,000 people. The media seem to enjoy boasting about this. They also keep telling us that the civilians have all gone, a strange boast that is also completely false but which enables them to triumphantly show the TNC bombardment of the town from distance as not a war crime since, they give us to understand, only “Gaddafi’s diehard supporters” are there. But it is true that there is nothing left of Sirte except an indomitable spirit of resistance that NATO is completely unable to overcome. So much so that the NATO forces seem to have given up there for the meantime except for the daily routine of random bombing and have moved onto another “last holdout” of the Jamahiriya, Beni Walid. How many last holdouts are there and can NATO take any of them?

Major media Liars never quit

War is a Crime

19th October, 2011

Whenever major media Libya reports appear, truth is distorted, manipulated and falsified. For seven months, despite daily terror bombing and ground attacks, courageous loyalists bested the ferocity of NATO and its rebel army.

Libye – Les dernières nouvelles du front (19-10-2011)

Posted by seumasach on October 19, 2011

Unfortunately there is a dearth of   good reporting on Libya in English and I don’t have time to keep translating. Allain Jules is a wonderful writer and google-translate is unlikely to do him justice. Still, it’s better than nothing.

Ah, si les Libyens savaient !

En effet, le financement de la guerre émane, pas vraiment du Qatar comme mentionné, mais du…Qatar avec le pétrole libyen. Oui, ce sont eux qui, pour l’instant recupère les revenus du pétrole libyen. Une véritable pantalonnade pour les Libyens qui s’entretuent grâce ou à cause de leurs propres richesses. Quelle tristesse !

Desde hace meses Sirte está siendo bombardeado. Desde hace unas semanas los bombardeos han arreciado, también los ataques de artillería y el cerco es cada día más cruel: ni agua, ni alimentos, ni medicinas… Los hospitales están destruidos. La destrucción es la orden. El crimen se ha generalizado, el saqueo, la ruina… Las fuerzas del mal materializadas en la OTAN, brazo armado del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, a través de esta guerra perpetua contra la humanidad y el planeta.

Dans les méandres de la barbarie, il n’y a pas mieux. C’est probablement la preuve que la guerre humanitaire a été organisée pour en finir avec un homme qui ne leur a rien fait mais qui aime l’Afrique et la Libye que ces gens n’aiment pas. Tout ce qui les intéresse c’est le pétrole, gagner des contrats de reconstruction.

Libye – A la manifestation anti-guerre

Allain Jules

16th October, 2011

La manifestation anti guerre s’est déroulée de façon honorable tout à l’heure Place de la République. Pour des raisons personnelles et de certains impondérables, je suis arrivé aux environs de 15h30 et suis reparti aussitôt après avoir fait des photos. 

Une manifestation digne. Une foule en communion pour dire NON à la barbarie, la sauvagerie et la prédation. Hélas, les cris, les pleurs ne sont pas entendus. Du côté libyen, la population reste digne dans la souffrance.
