Interpretation please??

Code for WE won't come. He can say that now, but can change his position after "certain unacceptable events" occur.

You'd hope he would change his position if that happens.

'Facebook Generation' continues Mauritania protests

Nouakchott, Mauritania (CNN) -- Young Mauritanians pushing for social and political reforms continued a sit-in Saturday in the capital a day after a street protest demanding change.

Police dispersed hundreds of protesters early Saturday, but after a few hours the crowd returned to spend the night at Blocat Square in Nouakchott's city center, despite one earlier arrest and the possibility of forces returning....

what is great to see about this, it is fully coordinated with the UK, US and other countries in a partnership

enoughGaddafi:
Injured demonstraters do not go 2 hospitals, fear of being reported or killed, instead setting up makeshift clinics in homes

Khadra Hospital in #tripoli reserved solely for gaddafi supporters

Red Cross Red Crescent working to get into western part of country but need to get into tripoli to treat wounded

Aid organizers say Eastern Libya no longer in emergency state but still need medical supplies ..r concentrating on West Libya

Aid organizers say that many egypt ian doctors crossing border to eastern #libya to help along with Libyans living outside

Tunisia border still controlled by #gaddafi forces so aid & supplies held up there, road to tripoli very dangerous

Eastern libya needs 2 make call: all mercenaries who surrender should b safely returned to their countries if they surrende

@AliTweel the mercs should b encouraged 2 surrender by offering them amnesty if they return home

should isolate #gaddafi inner circle by continuing to encourage others 2 defect incl. Mercenaries

Lebanon too, has something to say

Qobeissy: Qaddafi’s end has begun
“The end of the criminal [Libyan leader Moammar] Qaddafi has begun,” Development and Liberation bloc MP Hani Qobeissy said on Sunday.

Qaddafi will pay for his crimes and “plundering Libya’s resources cannot guarantee him protection,” Qobeissy said, according to the National News Agency.

Qaddafi’s regime is responsible for Amal Movement founder Imam Moussa Sadr’s 1978 disappearance, Qobeissy added.

It is wonderful. I'm glad to see that it's well known the UK and US aren't the only countries getting involved. It was very tiring reading about the Eeeevil US acting "unilaterally" in other countries in the Mideast when in fact dozens of countries joined us and sent soldiers. /political rant off

The Ilyushin now beginning gradual descent.

My hat is off to Tripoli air traffic controllers, continuing to work and help despite the chaos and uncertainty in their country, which may be affecting their friends and families.

Love that #gaddafi family thinks lying to ABC's #Amanpour will save them. Worked SO well for Mubarak. These guys do not learn #libya #egypt

I Russian Ilyushin Il-76TD plane just arrived at Tripoli from Bryansk-Russia.

Paddy - Do you have a link for Tripoli air traffic control or radar?
