Alors que les bombardements ne cessent de ravager la capitale libyenne peuplée de presque 2 millions d’habitants, que des troupes spéciales camouflées en « rebelles » sont envoyés au sol, il est plus que nécessaire de montrer cette opposition à cette guerre.

British Libya mission ‘not over’ as rebels struggle to impose order

Posted by seumasach on August 25, 2011

The silence form Tripoli is worrying and we must continue to concerned for the safety of Thierry Meyssan and Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya. In the meantime, in the absence of reliable direct reorting from Libya, we must read between the lines of mainstream media to try to discern what is happening. This article provides some clues and I post it here with my own comments.
