Libya's ambassador to the United Nations, a childhood friend of Kadhafi, became the latest official to defect as regime loyalists opened fire in shootings that spread through Tripoli, killing several unarmed civilians.

"Please, the United Nations, save Libya," Mohammed Shalgham told the Security Council in an emotional speech, in which he raised the spectre of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot.

His intervention helped to jolt the UN Security Council into ordering a special session Saturday to consider a sanctions resolution against Kadhafi, on top of those ordered from the White House and by the European Union.

"After Shalgham's speech yesterday, people shouted with joy, the mood was very good. But just a few minutes after his speech, the electricity was cut and it hasn't come back since," one Tripoli resident told AFP by telephone

But it's not a military coup, he cautions. "It's a youth uprising," he insists. "The fight is between the young people and the regime." It wasn't until Gaddafi met their peaceful demonstrations with violent force "killing them in cold blood," that it was time to intervene, he says. "They are the ones who started the revolution and we are completing it." (See an account of the mayhem in Gaddafi's Tripoli.)

And inevitably, the military will have a big role to play in the aftermath of Gaddafi's fall. "We hope to have a democratic state, not a military state," Hussein says. "We are fed up with a military state. The military is only for protecting the nation - not for ruling it."

Countries evacuating their ``nationals`` while this is going on is pretty sick.

WE ARE ALL HUMANS.

Instead of wasting time and efforts evacuating people, what about you take the bastard out so you DON'T have to evacuate them in the first place?

bleeping governments, run by inhumanes bleeps.
