libya civil war

And other violations of medical neutrality in Libya, Aug. 2011 So I just published another report for Citizen's Investigation into War Crimes in Libya (not a famous group, just my own, collaborative research but my own writing) It's about an event that happened a year ago as the rebels...

I'm back! Today I'd like to open a discussion into one particular, horrendouns incident of the Libyan Civil War. I call it "the Khamis Brigade shed massacre," while Physicians For Human Rights call it "the 32nd Brigade Massacre" in their fancy December report (PDF link). It was, as far as I...

After reading about the atrocities committed against poor African workers and other Gadaffi supporters including Gadaffi himself I wonder if the free world should have helped them. What I hear and see about them is pretty barbaric. http://wsws.org/articles/2011/mar2011/rebe-m31.shtml

Siege of Sirte: Justified or Genocide? / BBC advocates "Ethnic Cleansing" in Libya? It seems the idea is to cut off all electricity, food, water, medicine, anything to live, and simply demand eveyone come out if they want to live...

Some massacres in the Abu Salim area of Tripoli get running in-depth coverage of pretty much nothing. Consider the reported discovery of a the mass grave of 1,270 victims of the prison massacre from 1996. The actual evidence this ever happened is less than conclusive, but either way the evidence...

Didn't see one yet, so... Maybe 4/5 or more of Tripoli really is in rebel hands as they say. But the area around the Rixos hotel is still in government hands, and so is Seif al-Islam. The BBC just heard from him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14625516 He said in fact the rebels had...

http://news.yahoo.com/rebels-enter-heart-tripoli-crowds-celebrate-000932445.html It appears that the rebels are now in the heart of Tripoli and the public is celebrating. Is there any word on the fate of Qhadafi? I shall turn on Al-Jazeera and post important updates as they come in. Update-...

? (was supposed to be in title) Alright, there's been much noise about the Gaddafi regime's human rights violations. One crime that seems to have slid a bit from the public radar is the deadly cluster bombig of Misrata by Gaddafi forces, April 13-15. Here's the CT version, backed up with...

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/05/16/libya.gadhafi/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn The Hague, Netherlands (CNN) -- The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Monday requested arrest warrants for Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his son and his brother-in-law, saying there...

Yesterday an important conference happened on Libya's future. http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Libyan-regime-tribal-meeting-is-sign-of-support-1366997.php And at the same time, another meeting of tribal leaders representing the majoirty of all Libyan people, also met of their own volition...

..GENEVA - Snipers are targeting children in the besieged rebel-held Libyan city of Misrata, the U.N.' s children agency said Friday. Hundreds of residents have been killed and wounded in the assault by Gadhafi's forces on Libya's third-largest city, and residents are running short of water...

Despite all the initial western enthusiasm that the colonel would be quickly overthrone, it's looking like he may simply ride out the airstrikes and the rag tag opposition..... So will he still be in power in six months? If yes are we to expect persistent sanctions or will we decide to mend...

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24005 Nouri Mesmari is the centralplayer in this drama. It has a compelling logic to it. He defected last October, met in France with several Feb 17 opposition figures, had Gaddafi try unsuccessfully to have him arrested or compell him to...

Before I nod off, it occurred to me to put this before the forum community. Warning: all subject matter is gruesome, of the type now tolerated by Youtube and Facebook as essential for the cause of freedom in Libya. First, the rebel version, complete with survivor, who I guess explained the...

It's been suggested: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/02/2011221222542234651.html Helicopters turned the tide against the anti-Saddam protests after the first Gulf War. Should the international community step in to stop a similar thing happening in Libya?
