The world’s 100 largest arms dealers, excluding Chinese vendors, sold weapons for $401 billion in 2009, with US vendors remaining in first place

Threads for previous days are in my journal

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, with the silent complicity of world leaders more concerned about the stability of oil prices than people's lives, Qaddafi has brought in more than 35,000 North African mercenaries specifically from Chad, Nigeria, Guinea and Darfur. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad (Youtube here). Captured mercenaries confessed they were paid between $12,000 - $30,000 each. Today pamphlet ads were found in Nigeria offering them $2000/day for their savage work.

Is Qaddafi the only one paying these mercenaries? Or are EU governments, with their long history of hiring mercenaries, chipping in? I demand to know.

Source: Reuters

GENEVA — A Libyan U.N. envoy to the U.N. renounced links to the government of Muammar Gaddafi on Friday, telling the U.N. Human Rights Council that his entire delegation represented the "free will" of the Libyan people.

Diplomats in the hall erupted into applause at the surprise announcement by Adel Shaltut, a diplomat at the Libyan delegation to the United Nations in Geneva, during a special session on the Libyan crisis.

Benghazi Out in Full Force Following inspiring Friday Sermon and Prayer
Posted on February 25, 2011 by main

Friday sermons aired on Libyan State TV call for the people of Libya to “obey” their ruler regardless if he is disliked. In contrast, Friday sermons in Benghazi talked of liberation and freedom. Soon after the prayers, the people of Benghazi joined in masses to support their people in Tripoli, where the final push towards liberation is underway.
