Saif al-Islam Gaddafi: The new face of Libyan defiance - Colonel Gaddafi's son was educated in London and has friends in the City and Westminster. Or he did until last week

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/27/gaddafi-son-saif-al-islam-profile

(Reuters) - Shouting "Gaddafi is the enemy of God" and shaking their fists, hundreds of Tripoli residents vowed on Saturday to pursue an uprising against Muammar Gaddafi at the funeral of a man killed by the Libyan leader's soldiers.

In a poor neighbourhood of the Libyan capital openly defiant of Gaddafi's 41-year-old rule, hundreds of men gathered to pay tribute to one of five people they said had been killed when troops fired on protesters late on Friday.

Lawyers and judges were at the vanguard of the uprising.

“They are in charge,” Dr. Bugaighis said. Then she added, “Nobody is in charge.”

JediJaneys comments this morning: -

more on the Tony Blair phone calls:

According to Whitehall sources, Mr Blair made an initial call to the Libyan President, who has ordered helicopter gunships to fire on protesters he described as "rats" and "cockroaches". The Middle East envoy urged him to cease the attacks. The sources suggested that, after consultations with the British Foreign Office, Mr Blair was told that the UK Government would prefer the Libyan President to step down, and so he agreed to phone him again and transmit that message. There was no comment from Mr Blair's office yesterday. Government sources could not say last night whether ministers knew in advance about the initial phone call.

The first oblique hint that Mr Blair might be in active contact with the Libyan regime came in a routine briefing on Friday in which US State Department spokesman P J Crowley said the former PM was among the international figures that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had spoken to during the day. Asked why Mrs Clinton called Mr Blair and if it was because of "his dealings with Gaddafi over the Lockerbie bomber", the spokesman said of Mr Blair: "He has very important and valuable contacts inside of Libya."

ABC News' Christiane Amanpour reports live from the capital city of Tripoli, a city where Moammar Gadhafi is preparing to make a last stand.


In an exclusive interview, Amanpour speaks to Ghadafi's son, Saif al-Islam, and reports from inside the capital, as rebels vow to march on the city. Amanpour moderates a special roundtable from Tripoli, with in-depth analysis of what unrest across the region means for America's economy and security.

Libyan chaos stirs global panic over oil supplies

MADRID – Libya's oil industry is in chaos, and that's no exaggeration.

Armed men loot equipment from oil field installations. British commandos execute secret raids in the Libyan desert to rescue stranded oil workers as security disintegrates rapidly in remote camps.

Libyan port workers, frightened of being caught up in Moammar Gadhafi's violent crackdown on protesters, fail to show up for work, leaving empty tankers floating around the Mediterranean Sea waiting to load crude.

And the European oil companies extracting Libya's black gold are operating in crisis mode, trying to get stranded expatriate workers out and safe amid conflicting information on how much oil is still being pumped and just where it all is.

That was just this week. The situation may not get better in the near future.
