BREAKING: Gadaffi's regime might fall!

[Lars77]

Source: Aftenposten

Norwegian Newspaper Aftenposten says reports are coming on from Al Jazeera and others that the regime in Libya might be going down.

Due to few foreign reporters it's difficult to confirm at this time however:

Security forces are reported to have fled the cities of Derna and Benghazi. In Benghazi the protestors have taken control over a radio station and are broadcasting themselves.

Ghadaffi's sons are reported to have fled the country

Multiple people have been killed in clashes over the last few days, and tonight two policemen have supposedly been hanged by a mob in Al-Bayda.

"Half of Libya is now free"

I don't have the energy and undivided attention span right now to do a Libya thread but I really hope someone else does. I hope it falls very soon so activists can concentrate efforts on fewer places.

Here are a few important ones I just found. I skipped unsubstantiated rumors initially put out by pro-government twitterers like about the water supply being poisoned.

19. UK stops arms exports to Bahrain, Libya

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/cra...

The government bowed to intense pressure last night and revoked a host of licences for arms exports to Bahrain and Libya, after Foreign Secretary William Hague said there was "no evidence" that security forces in the Gulf state had used British tear gas to suppress pro-democracy demonstrators.

The French government has banned all arms exports to Bahrain and Libya.

Britain and other Western countries have urged restraint in the protests sweeping across the Middle East. But at the same time, the UK has been selling arms and crowd-control measures to the administrations in Bahrain, Libya, Jordan and other countries.

Ghaddafi is insane and he's gone further than Mubarak dared because there's no media on the ground. His thugs are all over Twitter (while the activists are mostly on Facebook) so many good people are reluctant to retweet things and Libyans are feeling abandoned.

He's got machine guns being fired from in-flight helicopters and there are reports of artillery (heard by a reporter who managed to get through to Libya on the phone).

56. The situation with the Army

February 18

11:49 pm An AudioBoo report from Benghazi:

Man: The army came out, ok, it was with tanks and they're telling us, seven people, protesters, that they're with them, and they're here to protect them and everything else. But we hear other things; in some other places of the city, the army's shooting people, and also I heard that they're taking over the airport and there's some airplanes arriving with more army corps from outside, from the other cities.

I cannot confirm the airport thing, I cannot confirm it, I just heard it from you know people talking on the street now. But the army is now with protesters, they're standing with them, talking with them. But they're not saying why or who sent them or who controls them, they're not giving any information. Now I can say in some areas are quiet, in other areas there's an army base down in the middle of the city, there's a lot of gunfire two minutes ago. And people still trying to protest in front of it and the army has been shooting them.

Libyan Disconnect
By James Cowie on February 18, 2011 8:56 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn at 23:18 GMT (Friday night, just after midnight Saturday local time), and Libya is off the Internet. One Libyan route originated by Telecom Italia directly is still BGP-reachable, but inbound traceroutes appear to die in Palermo. A minority of our peers report some surviving paths through the peering connection between Level3 and Telecom Italia, but traceroutes into those prefixes fail, suggesting that the Libyan cutoff is complete.

We wondered whether anyone would repeat Egypt's strategy. Tonight, it appears that we have our answer.

Updates to follow.

Dedicated to the murdered peaceful protesters under dictator Gaddafi's brutal 42 year regime, February 2011. To help, please distribute and bring attention to your local governments and media outlets.

Libya has no professional journalists beyond that of state-controlled media and television. No visas have been offered to any outside news (CNN, AlJazeera, MSNBC, CBS, etc). There are NO JOURNALISTS to record the horrific killings of peaceful protesters for democratic reform. Libya is a big country with a small population (6.5 million). All information on the revolt and subsequent clashes have been from the citizens themselves, under the possible penalty of jail or death.

70. I counted at least five dead

and three critical injuries, shot in the head.

Let's just say you do not want me to post what I am thinking.

[Catherina]

74. I have to do this in a very calm, cold, detached and clinical manner

I don't even want to post what I'm thinking. The video of the young man shot in the head, on camera, pained my soul so deeply that I broke down for a minute and then stopped, my anger forced to just simmer for now.

There is no reason for this. No excuse for the complicity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

75. Yep, I've been in places where people have

died in front of me. At least I am spared the smells.

That said, I see the determination. They will get it done. Oh and Gadaffi better get out, or face the same fate as Caucescu

[Catherina]

76. Mercenaries killing ppl in Benghazi as we speak. People being tortured.

They must get this done.

Once you rise, you can't back down.

I fear the price they're going to pay with no media on the ground to document the crimes and almost no internet access to get timely proof out.

I think tonight I'm gonna pray.

Gaddafi 'to replace top officials'
19 February 2011 | 04:08:12 PM | Source: AFP


This photo posted on Facebook by protesters purports to show clashes in the town of Benghazi. (Facebook)

A leadership congress controlled by Muammar Gaddafi has pledged a change in government administrators, trying to ease demonstrations demanding the longtime leader's ouster.

Newspaper Quryna, which has ties to Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons, said on Friday that the country's national congress has halted its session indefinitely and said many state executives will be replaced when it returns.

In addition to replacing top officials, it will endorse reforms to decentralise and restructure the government, it said. The site also said 1000 inmates at a prison in Benghazi attacked guards and escaped.

Police break ranks to help Libya protesters seize eastern city
Clashes flare in benghazi as phone and internet connectivity snapped

Dubai: Anti-government protesters seized control of the eastern Libyan city of Al Bayda after they were joined by some policemen, two separate Libyan exile groups said yesterday.

"Al Bayda is in the hands of the people," Giumma Al Omami of the Libyan Human Rights Solidarity group told Reuters.

The reports, which the two groups said were based on their own telephone contacts with the city of some 250,000 people, could not be independently verified.

It was learnt that one of Gaddafi's sons, Sa'adi, was in the city to help control protests but later fled the main government building along with his supporters before protesters gained control of government establishments.

CNN mentioned Chad.

Articles and calls mentioned Pakistan, Bangladesh and I can't remember where else. Ghaddafi neutralized his army out of distrust and is importing mercenaries to do his dirty work.

I don't believe this is true. There's been a concerted effort by people with strange tweet histories to spread that story and the only confirmations are from anonymous callers who could be anyone.
