Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 4, Part 10 (Bloodbath RIGHT NOW)

Previous threads from today: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x467432">Part 9


Occasionally, since the people I follow cover Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan also, if I see something really important about those countries, I'll post it here but I plan to mostly focus on Libya because they're having the hardest time getting the word out and Qaddafi's brutality is more systematic and I believe the scale exceeds the brutality in the other country.

They're also the country with the most propagandists on Twitter.

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, Qaddafi has brought in thousands of mercenaries from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other North African coutries, specifically Chad. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=103697256377254&oid=179449562095105 (Youtube link here) Their confessions are that they've been offered between $12,000 - $30,000 each.

Libya protests: 'Terror and bribery are blunt tools now'
Author Hisham Matar pleads with Muammar Gaddafi to hold his troops back

Hisham Matar
guardian.co.uk, Friday 18 February 2011 20.50 GMT

...

The regime became nervous, promising students a large number of generous scholarships abroad. Then it vowed to increase salaries.

...

On the 16th, a day before the planned protests, Libyan's could no longer wait. They went out in Benghazi. There was a palpable fear that the hot-blooded second city was going it alone, that the few thousand protesters were lambs going to slaughter. Their courage seemed unimaginable.

Late that night one of the Benghazi protestors posted a video on YouTube. He looked tired. His voice was hoarse.

"To my brothers in Tripoli," he said, "we can't do this alone."

Concern over rising Libya violence
Top US diplomats condemn crackdowns on protesters but stopped short short of calling for a change of government.

Last Modified: 21 Feb 2011 01:31 GMT


The US, UK and EU all expressed concern at the escalation in violence, but no punitive measures were announced

...

"The United States is gravely concerned with disturbing reports and images coming out of Libya," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "We have raised to a number of Libyan officials ... our strong objections to the use of lethal force against peaceful demonstrators."

The State Department said US embassy dependents were being encouraged to leave Libya and US citizens were urged to defer nonessential travel to the country.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice spoke out against brutal crackdowns on protesters in Libya and Bahrain but stopped short of calling for a change of government in any of the countries facing large protests.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he spoke to Seif al-Islam Gaddafi by phone on Sunday and told him that the country must embark on "dialogue and implement reforms".

State Dept.: US 'gravely concerned' about Libya

The Associated Press
Sunday, February 20, 2011; 9:33 PM
WASHINGTON -- The State Department says the United States is gravely concerned about reports that hundreds of people have been killed or injured during anti-government protests in Libya.

State Department spokesman Philip Crowley says the U.S. has raised strong objections with Libyan officials, including Foreign Minister Musa Kusa, about the use of lethal force against demonstrators.

Crowley says the U.S. reiterated "the importance of universal rights, including freedom of speech and peaceful assembly."

Protests against the longtime rule of Moammar Gadhafi reached the Libyan capital of Tripoli on Sunday, and protesters seized military bases and weapons. Forces loyal to Gadhafi have responded with violence, and medical officials, human rights groups and exiled dissidents say more than 200 have been killed.

68. Thanks so much Catherina
wonder how much of this info is easily out ther for the rest of the world to see... it is so very important to have this documented for posterity!

Have you heard more about people being killed AT the Hospital by pro-govt forces? that is just so freaking wrong!

I am sending all my hopes and prayers to these brave people - can't imagine what hell they live under!

I am hoping the Libyan people are victorious against this butcher.

I want to see Gaddafi hang by his heels just like Mussolini.
