ShababLibya (LibyanYouthMovement):
CONFIRMED: Benghazi is out on the streets in large numbers to protest for the killing of their brothers in Tripoli

Hi guys, the head of the Libyan youth movement will be live on chan 4 news in the UK at 7 GMT

AliTweel:
Saif said all the people have been armed. This is not true. I don't owen more than a kitchen knife, same as millions of libyan citizens.

The only people armed in tripoli are with the regime, they are few but crazy, they shoot you if you chant againest Gaddafi.

Army Airplanes in sight and helicopters in tripoli, looks like tonight is going to be hell. I'm speechless.

A friend went unarmed to millita area where he work to defend any bad thing could happen to the oil rig there. Pray for him.

I dream of a country where i can walk at the green square in tripoli & express myself loudly without fear. I have a dream. I have a dream.

Yesterday, someone was againest the regime, after Saif's speech he placed a photo of Gaddafi on his car. this is the fear we're afraid of.

yes, seriously bad news Although for Gadaffi to fire on his own cities would presumably be the last option if he knew he was going to be toppled.

just to throw in.. posted this on the other tread:
the plan of the people is, to march from ALL directions towards his residence in Tripoli after Prayers..

yeah... but what possible things can one expect from a leader who is 42years in power, wears fantasy uniforms, has female bodyguards, and having his people praising his green book more than the koran..


I could imagine, in regards to the rumours concering the fear of bombing the oil-fields..
before he have his ships fired at green square etc, he perhaps will have the fields bombed

but either this, or that... everything is just insane..

but having anti aircraft guns & RPG's fired against protestors was also unbelievable..yet he did it

If he bombs the oil fields then he's batshit insane.

“Gaddafi kills Libyan people like he kills sheep”

In another post, a Libyan living in the US writes: “[Gadaffi] is killing Libyans like he kills sheep.[...] He paid African mercenaries for every person they kill”......

the problem is, he pretty much is insane, seriously. Did you see the interview he did with Colin at Sky News? He was waaay out there!
