Questions ~ ~
Questions ~ ~
We are witnessing a gradual drying up of news from Libya. Is it because of the blackout, just as effective, or because the factions are sticking to their positions in a sort of "armed truce" or "calm before the storm"? - What hacks Colonel K. can still try before the final mat? - Or does he succeed in Tripoli to maintain a specified time? - Seek does recover Benghazi? - This last option, desperate, seems a priori doomed to failure anyway and will trigger a large-scale massacre also burn the capital. - Exile, had it been possible for Colonel K., have probably already occurred. Moreover, there is hardly no place on earth where he could hide no one can dislodge it. - In my opinion, the honor, the "graceful exit" in this case does not play a minor role. And I do not know if the immense fortune amassed by Gaddafi is very important to the colonel. She is probably more to the younger generation of the family. But these assets are beginning to be "frozen" everywhere. - It remains in effect as Libya. And the excuse to act for the good of the people. - What, then, should we expect in the next hours, next days? - Intensification of the coup? Desperate acts? Negotiations? - Questions unanswered at present. [16:10] The Guardian publishes extracts from a list of demands drawn up by some 100 judges, lawyers and prosecutors in response to the Libyan coup regime: • The bloodshed and attacks on Libyan citizens must stop immediately. • A commission of independent and transparent investigation to be launched on the spot to identify those responsible for violence and death. • The insurance must be given that the rule of law is exercised without hindrance and that no one can shirk its execution. • From civil liberties and reforms of society must be implemented with the creation of a national constitution.
The British daily also notes that the lawyers met Wednesday morning (23-02-2011) for a peaceful demonstration at the courthouse in Tripoli.
