Libya - civil unrest & now NATO involvement

tweet

Libya - is certain: the burning of the entire security headquarters "city of al-Bayda, " and the masses were heading towards a military airports to control it, and confirmed killed 15 people in al-Bayda, including children
 
Fucking hell - I thought this would get crushed pretty swifly - but these reports sound like it going off big stlye. Amazing if Gaddafi goes.
 
From here: http://www.libyafeb17.com/ Transcription of AJA interview with Aamir Saad (Political activist)


Aamir: …Their cousin, their family and neighbours. How would you feel if you were to find your brother or son have been killed by African mercenaries? The protesters in Al Bayda have been able to seize control of the military airbase in the city and have executed 50 African mercenaries and 2 Libyan conspirators. Even in Darnah today, a number of conspirators were executed, they were locked up in the holding cells of a police station because they resisted, and some died burning inside the building. This will be the end of every oppressor who stands with Gaddafi. Gaddafi is over, that’s it, he has no presence here anymore. The eastern regions of Libya are now free regions. If he wants to reclaim it, he will need to bomb us with nuclear or chemical bombs. This is his only option. The people have stood and said they will not go back. And we in Darnah today are standing and camping in AsSahabah square.

News anchor: We need to double check a couple of things with you because you are there, first how are police forces dealing with protesters. The second thing we want to confirm is the report that has been announced by a number of news sources regarding the escape of many prisoners from Al Quwaifeeyah Prison in Benghazi (East Libya) due to riots that occurred in the prison. Is this confirmed news?

Aamir: Those are conspirators and thugs that the regime set free, and gave them 5000 dinars. The regime also promised them another 5000 dinars. But even though they are conspirators and thugs, they remain Libyans. And I know very well that they will NOT side with Gaddafi’s regime. Impossible. Only one of them fully declared his allegiance with the regime and his name is RAJAB AL ADOOLI and he was executed yesterday, he was killed, and it was over! And the things AsSaadi Al Gaddafi said yesterday on Libya’s state channel is rubbish, saying he will return to Benghazi. Benghazi does not belong to his father, for his father to give it to him to rule. Did not his father say that the RULE is in the hands of the people? WE ARE THE PEOPLE! And we tell you Gaddafi one word: LEAVE! You are an oppressor! We do not want you. I am the child of a free police officer, and I am benefitting from your regime, and I still benefit from it, and I still have money in your regime that I am entitled to due to my being the son of a police officer, but I don’t want this money. I want one thing, I want FREEDOM FOR MY COUNTRY. I want to see the flag of Islam fluttering over my country, I want to see you leave! Get out! Game over! Go hide your ugly face! What do you want me to say to him? Please go ahead Ms Khadijah.

News anchor: Thank you Aamir Saad, political activist in Libya, thank you for your contribution with us

Aamir: I want to confirm that Darnah and the eastern regions are now free and we’re just working on Tripoli.

News anchor: We tried to get in touch with the writer and political analyst Abul Qasim Hmeda but were unable to get through to him. Thanks to our guest Aamir Saad
 
Yeah that's the guy I was paraphrasing further up the thread.

Those pictures are from earlier though, not from when he was speaking, I think.
 
Twitter is nuts again but one thing I do get is:

They've really blown it with the mercenaries.

E2A:

Aamir Saad (Political activist) speak to Al Jazeera Arabic – English translation with vid.

One reason they arent covering Libya that much is that little of the information can be confirmed.

Personally I am wanting to believe much of the info but the way many of the tweets are worded is making me a bit cautious.
 
I think this is the radio station in Benghazi.

They certainly don't sound like they know what they're doing.

calling dylans hellooo, helloo, testing testing. any chance of you picking up anything they are saying.
 
Despite some googling I can't find out if there are still African guest workers in Libya. If there are, I hope they don't get tarred with the same brush as the mercenaries.

My Arabic is way way too basic to pick up anything more than the odd word. Someone is being called a dog (kelp)..a lot.
