LIBYA - The bloodbath continues

The news made the headlines of the daily La Valette: February 21, the pilots of two Libyan Mirage preferred landing in Malta rather than obey orders and shoot the demonstrators. "Gaddafi is under siege," as the newspaper. "The protesters have taken control of several cities, Tripoli and has suffered a wave of violence that some describe as 'massacre', while the pillars of power Gaddafi began to crumble," he writes.

For the first time since the protests began on February 15, the Libyan leader was briefly appeared live on television to deny rumors of his departure for Venezuela. Repression, bloodshed, has already claimed hundreds of lives. The Security Council of the United Nations has scheduled an urgent meeting on 22 February to discuss the situation in the country.
