In that statement you posted Fidel Castro doesn't make a statement supporting Gaddafi. He makes that point that the Western powers like the Libyan oil rather than its people or their freedom
Libya - civil unrest & now NATO involvement

That's how I read it, and as such it seemed like more bad news for Gaddafi.

Isn't this being discussed by the UN Security Cancel today? I can really see China and Russian condemning the atrocities in Libya committed by the military against their own people
Ah but our Suffolk public school expat has been mixing with right wing Madrilenos, it's rubbing off on him.

Interesting, I hadnt seen that one before.
What a mess. I should probably clarify that although Ive been going on about race etc issues quite a lot in the last 18 hours, this doesnt mean I dont buy into the mercenary stories at all. Im pretty sure that a lot of the rumours about 'mercenaries are about to land at the airport near our city' are driven by fear more than fact, but that doesnt mean its not happening.

There's been a lot of chatter on Twitter about medical conveys coming from Egypt. I got the impression that they were being organised by mosques but reporter on Al Jazera just stated that the Egyptian doctors and medical unions have organised them

It doesn't appear uncommon for African countries to use mercenaries. (and there are/were shitloads of them in Iraq on 'our' side)

There were a lot of calls for them from Egyptian tweeps. (that's the term, right) Whether they were instigating them or tweeting in response to calls made from medical unions or mosques or what I don't know.

Report from AJE Malta that Italy is 'watching' a Libyan naval 'asset' off the coast of Malta. No contact has been made with the ship.
AJE banner say UN council is to consider a no fly zone.
and 5 minutes later AJE are saying that the no fly zone is not being considered by the council.

If that' the C4 bod, he's well connected. I hope he's not just posting up stuff he's seen.
