Gaddafi against all

Not satisfied with the carnage unleashed in the east of Libya, perhaps in Tripoli (250 deaths, according to Al Jezira), Muammar Gaddafi wants the children out of school to march. Today marks one week of the call for youth, specifically dated Thursday 17 February, although the first and there were protests yesterday.

Gaddafi still controls capital, and snatch, when there are already dead by the thousand as the most conservative estimate, and can cost several thousand more blood. The rebellion reached while a dozen cities, and in some the situation is still not clear. The story that has made a French volunteer medical evacuated Benghazi just gives an idea of what kind of individuals are Gaddafi and his acolytes.

Gérard Buffet has confirmed what some witnesses said contact news agencies to last weekend. "The first day, Thursday 17 - shot to the legs of the young, the second day the chest and the third, a head," he said last night the doctor told French television. Two hospitals with 1,500 beds were filled with wounded.

Then, "the soldiers and mercenaries fired mortar shells and rockets into the crowd." Yesterday, the two crew of a fighter chose to parachute and crash the ship before attacking Benghazi. The dead in Benghazi, Libya's second city would perhaps 2,000 (two hospitals of 1,500 beds were filled with wounded), a thousand more between Tobruk and Darna and "probably about 500 from Darna and El Beida." In the latter city was still shooting on Tuesday.

Qaddafi has closed the ports, with what has suspended oil exports, has made three warships anchor against Tripoli. Do not leave, while you can, that the Libyans to flee the country. Anyone who violates the law "has been to shoot without mercy" and "Anyone who rebels against Libya should be shot, because that is our law." There must be no escaping it.

We do not know where to begin and where does the madness of Gaddafi, but is old and known that he feels the embodiment of Libya. You have to understand the tyrant. Gadhafi has seen his dreams crumble one after another, after almost 42 years of absolute power. The dream of Arabism, who wanted to inherit from Gamal Abdel Nasser practically the same year he died, the Egyptian president, the dream of African unity, which came as a frustrated leader.

And, these days, the dream of unity of Libya in a single voice, crying from the wilderness (as Gaddafi is and takes pride in being a Bedouin), used to cure all the ills inherited from the colonial era. As expressed in their ultimate and violent speech, Qaddafi understood the rebellion of the Cyrenaica region as a fragmentation of the country.

Finally, it is now waking from the dream would become a beloved leader. Or maybe not. Maybe some time knows who has everything against and you can not trust his army beyond the high officials who are his own tribe, the Gadafa. There is talk of up to 50,000 sub-Saharan African mercenaries that would defend these days.

They say flown in after the revolution of jasmine from neighboring Tunisia, said that charging $ 2,000 or $ 10,000 each. And it is on Benghazi, where in the nineties there was an attempted revolt, which has unleashed its full fury. Oil money can pay for everything. The country was once the largest producer in Africa today is the twelfth in the world, with 1.7 million barrels a day.

Media companies dozen countries, including Spain, working here. The division of the country and in the colonial era is something that no one is interested.
