Confirmed that many people in #Tripoli are still able to get satellite TV and even Aljazeera sometimes, they keep finding ways

It's time for London School of Economics to revoke #Saif #Gaddafi illegitimate PhD, or lose all credibility.

Morning everyone. Not a good rumour about the chemical weapons, hopefully not true.

iyad_elbaghdadi Iyad El-Baghdadi
My source said that it's widely believed that without being armed, they can't do a lot.
The most beautiful answer was when I asked about people's morale in Tripoli after all those killings and all that blood..
"The violence has made us more determined to get rid of him. If he stays he'll hunt us down house by house. There's no going back."

iyad_elbaghdadi Iyad El-Baghdadi
They also told me he is paying anyone who can be bought to support him, and yet he's losing supporters by the minute in #Tripoli.

Good morning, Lime.

iyad_elbaghdadi Iyad El-Baghdadi
They said that Tripoli is in fact not completely locked down, although there are some road blocks manned by mercenaries.
They said they'll get back to me on how easy/safe it is for people to move into #Tripoli from surrounding areas.
They said #Tripoli's skies have been quiet, with no helicopters or military jets sighted or heard over the past few days.

iyad_elbaghdadi Iyad El-Baghdadi
About life in #Tripoli now, they said it's stopped, no one is leaving, going to school, going to work. "We won't let our kids out."
They said most people in #Tripoli are up to date on what's happening in the rest of the country and have access to satellite TV.
"No one has ever believed state run TV", they said.

CONFIRMED info: Gadhafi is sending messages to his gangs through the Libyan Media to commit killings and pursue repression. #Libya #Feb17

ShababLibya:
I spoke with family in Benghazi, which is proof no foreign intervention needed, they formed a gov, no looting everybody at peace

Sirte is surrounded by two major free cities Misrata and Benghazi not to mention the smaller towns such as Brega and Ajdabia

In the East of Libya, shops open Banks open food available. Everything shuts at night but open during the day

We all, both in and out of Libya feel that there is a push for civil war & division but we are ready 4 this, we want peace & freedom

some tweep asking Sultan Al Qassemi:

@SultanAlQassemi How does one know the point at which "protesting stops" and "civil war begins"?

@laurahedgedruid Civil war is between the people themselves but this is between millions of Libyans & a a few thousand armed pro Gaddafis

Benghazi: 50.000 refugies, 1200 wounded. No official death count yet.

Al Arabiya: Airplane carrying ten tons of medical aid to #Libya takes off from Kuwait

Al Jazeera: AFP: Berlusconi: "It seems that Gaddafi is no longer in control in #Libya"

AliTweel:
I was out for some supplies about an hour ago, there is few shops open, you can not find everything, in tripoli we r partially ok.

but what disturbs me is there are people believe there is nothing and there are pills and @AJArabic are lying to them

I told 1 of those that if he got his brother killed he will understand he said why killed? why going on march in the 1st place. brain washed

confirmed: gadaffi is now handing out heavy weapons and small arms to his supporters. He is clearing his arsenals and delivering by truckload

Good morning JediJaney, Lurker, Lime Flavoured and Earth Cries and anyone Ive missed even though Ive tried not to.

Youre all doing such a wonderful thing here bring us the Libyan coverage, thankyou so much

Now this could get big!

Scent of freedom in North Korea

BEIJING - "The riots are expanding even into North Korea. Hundreds of protesters have collided with the authorities," said South Korea's largest-selling Chosun Ilbo newspaper on Thursday, as top news on its website. Now finally, the global cascade of "Jasmine revolutions" in the Middle East and North Africa appears to have entered North Korea.

Chosun posted a North Korea map with large red circles around multiple cities to mark "riot zones", adding more drama to the report.

One of the circles is the town of Sinuiju on the border with China. "Hundreds of people clashed with security forces ... The military was deployed to quell the demonstration, leaving some protesters wounded," said Chosun. While the protest was sparked by a crackdown in a market, it was "an eruption of long pent-up discontent", it said.

yes thank you everyone!

Berlusconi: Gadaffi is no longer in control of any of Libya - Reuters

so.. a small summary..

Citizens of Tripoli are mostly unarmed.. they cant do anything alone.. most of them tend to stay inside, for safety easons...


Janey now confirmed that Ghaddafi is handing out weapons to his suppporters...

Are there any news about the armed citizens from neighbour districts, cities, army, etc?

Are they still waiting for a no-fly zone, so that there is a lower risk of having their vehicles bombed&destroyed?

before they risk the march to Bab al aziziya ?

As I said before, any battle for Tripoli is going to be bloody.

Morning/Afternoon all,

Let's hope and pray that things turn in the favor of the demonstrators today and all this bloodshed stops. On my way to the office (yes evil iluminati bankers work six to seven days a week in our attempts to take over the world..... )

Janey thank you again for all that you do here and everyone else that contributes, I'll probably be back here as soon as I get settled in at the office, Saturday's are usuallly slow so I get to slack off more than I usually do hehehehe
