According to the Algerian daily El Khabar, property Gaddafi, would amount to roughly $ 82 billion.
...
These are huge amounts of mineral wealth, of personal wealth and interests at stake, raising fears the worst for the country, knowing that Gaddafi's Libya has already experienced the banishment the concert of nations and that the situation could be managed with the oil (for better or worse): The Colonel and his performers, experts, counselors do not feel as easily abandon the party in Egypt. And eccentricities of the Supreme Leader are not made to reassure us on that front. - Terrible also
bis repetitur, impotence in which we as observers without images, without reliable information, are placed: we know that we massacre there, so far, so near, on the other shore of the Mediterranean, it is the most unspeakable of real experiences, when we write, the Libyan people, and we're sitting there, so close, so far, to our computers, prey to a parallel world, highly virtual, face the black screen of the blackout. - Terrible finally, concern for the civilians, these young people, families, children who, as we hear, are caught in a "bloodbath", a "genocide." The rights of Man has, as necessary for human solidarity, across ethnicities, religions, cultures and languages, the

The "social networks" are - in the blackout and disinformation that we are immersed - as reflections of our powerlessness. A much deeper connection to unite people and peoples.

Shops closed, but the bakeries are open, rationing bread sold, and "foreign mercenaries" hum sporadically through the city to prevent gatherings. Donors go to hospitals where they lack

On Tuesday, Al-Arabiya also reported that 1400 people were still missing. - Human Rights Watch spoke of 285 dead at least. In the city of Tripoli, the protests have been 62 deaths since Monday (yesterday). But, said a spokesman for the humanitarian organization, the actual number of deaths "is probably much higher." - One wonders also at the site of the German weekly, which Gaddafi has passed since his "confused" television performance. The diplomat resigned Abdulmoneim Al-Honi told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur
( dpa) that Gaddafi would have holed up in a barracks in the Libyan capital: "It is now in Bab al-Asisiyah. The plot has six square kilometers. Apart from that basis, there are only two other stations that are held by Qadhafi and his supporters. " In protest against the violence of the regime, Al-Honi had left his position as representative of Libya from the Arab League earlier this week, said the
Spiegel.

[15:50] Russian President Medvedev is one of the few leaders not to support the "Arab Spring": the riots could lead to "fanatics" in power again, there would the risk of fragmentation of Arab states into smaller separatists could ignite the region for years, and extremism could be gaining ground (remarks reported by Spiegel ).

Tuesday afternoon, residents armed with clubs were holding dams and screen entries in two districts of Tripoli (Fachloum and Tajoura), according to witnesses cited by AFP (s
ur
France 24).
[4:52 p.m.] Colonel begins to speak on state TV. Its flow is hashed. He screams in a surreal scene, lit by floodlights. He speaks of himself in the third person: Muammar Gaddafi is the Leader of the Revolution, it has nothing to lose ... A handful of rats lurking in the shadows can not do anything ... My grandfather died a martyr in 1911 ... He said that he too will die a martyr on Egyptian soil ... He continues to scream ... Zoom in on the building where the Colonel made his speech ...

He brandished the threat of Bin Laden ... Stop all those who are trying to manipulate our children to appear before the courts is their only penalty ... All those who prey on airports, ports, military camps will be condemned to death as those who work with a foreign power ... This is not the fault of the child's fault these bearded behind your children ... You're all excited, stop firing live ammunition, when to use force, I'll give the order ... Since he speaks of the death penalty, Colonel bed in a folder with a green cover that holds up intermittently ... All those who are behind a civil war must be condemned to death ...

Noise microphone and wind ... A wizard comes to give a glass of water ... Colonel K. drinks ... Is it possible to destroy this country by being manipulated by foreign agents ... [18:00] The commentator on Al Jazeera
talking about a speech rather "incomprehensible." France 24 on , while we also commented on the speech is not yet complete.
[6:05 p.m.] Here, the speech is finished (75 minutes). So put the comments ... Highlighted on Al Jazeera: "I'll clean Libya house by house" if the protests do not stop. - A Libyan opposition on the board said we have seen Colonel K., has lost touch with reality, for the last time on such a long period: the regime is finished ... - Presenter: Wait and see ! - Another observer said that he will not listen, that nobody listened to his speeches in recent times, contradictory and noisy ... It epilogue on the green folder in which he read passages about death sentences: it would be his famous Green Book or the Penal Code ... It is not known whether the speech was recorded, but it is assumed: it was at the window of a building without doubt symbolic [indeed, as noted by the World over, it is his family home that was bombed by the Americans, and now stands at a military camp] could be seen intermittently metal sculpture of a fist golden hugging a fighter silver .. . At the end of the speech, an audience unlikely (apparently few) acclaimed him. We can see the light: discourse date therefore probably today and was recorded earlier in the day (the night has already fallen on Tripoli).
[6:15 p.m.] A comment of the editors of live blog
the World : Overall, Gaddafi did not give up. Quite the contrary, he promised a response even harder against the demonstrators. He called on his supporters to take to the streets to tackle opponents, in what looks like a call to civil war. - Ads for reform have been limited to the bare minimum and were not detailed. Gaddafi has only raised a revision of the Constitution and "reforms for bloggers, judges, lawyers." He violently attacked the foreign media, especially Arabic. - The most disturbing is that eventually this speech - very long - was deeply deconstructed. Gadhafi spoke of himself in the third person, he used historical references absurd and multiplied repetitions without any sense. Something to be concerned about the rationality of the character and fate may be reserved for demonstrators in the coming hours.
Indeed, one can say that Colonel K. just called the civil war, with all the consequences this may have for the civilian population, even when he invokes the unity of the Libyan people as "foreign agents" seeking to divide. About rationality, we may recall that very philosophical axiom: "The fool has lost everything but reason"!
[6:20 p.m.] A journalist from Al Jazeera
notes that Obama has remained silent on the events of Libya, while his foreign minister, Hillary Clinton, must be expressed in two hours.
[18.30] The State of TV rebroadcast the beginning of the speech which Colonel K. speaks of himself in the third person:
Muammar Gaddafi is a story. [...]
Muammar Gaddafi is not a president and is not a normal human being against which we can conduct demonstrations. [...]
Where were you when that house
[his family home] was bombed by the Americans? ( in Le Monde ) Then the music resumed on traditional images of events in honor of Colonel K., filmed at night, no one can know when they were taken, perhaps suggesting the jubilation after the speech of the Supreme Leader. [7:15 p.m.] German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the speech "very, very scary," and she also says that e Colonel K. has declared war on his people (in Spiegel
).
[19:30] On France 3, an expatriate Arab
at the border: "It is the massacre in Tripoli ..." A French return from the Libyan capital: "It was hot Sunday ..."
A compatriot: "At 18h, yesterday, helicopters shot, bombed, I do not know if that's the word, fired on the crowd anyway ..." Another: "It is tense but calm. And I have not seen any dead bodies, I apologize
. But I heard many shots, by cons ... "- Each style! [20:00] Martine Laroche-Joubert (France 2
) and his team arrived
(taxi)
at Tobruk ... She is a liberated city, even if the concern is even greater among the population ... It shows young people that tear and trample the Green Paper and the effigy of Colonel.
Their comments
[8:30 p.m.] Clinton made his statement. It remains virtually silent on Libya, long talks of Bahrain and then to Egypt and Tunisia. Finally it extends over Latvia after meeting with his counterpart Kristovskis ... The art of saying nothing: the essence of diplomacy? Two German headlines tonight:
Dance Macabre Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli
(
Die Welt ) -
Gaddafi cries over his people ( Der Spiegel ) - And in France: Gaddafi takes the risk of encouraging a civil war (The World
) - Gaddafi clinging to power and threatens the protesters
(Le Nouvel Observateur
) - Nobody ' still has headlined
Delirium Gaddafi. -
Even if everyone has seen this!
[9:15 p.m.]
The Libyan Minister of the Interior agrees with protesters. He called the army to join the opposition and answer their "legitimate claims" echoing language used by Egyptian military leaders defected before the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, reports Al Jazeera.
( in Le Parisien ) - The Interior Minister is serious. And always information in dribs and drabs or nonexistent on the condition of the population. Probably is there more air strikes. Defection and begin to rain: two ministers, a large number of diplomats, fighter pilots, perhaps sailors off Malta ... [9:50 p.m.] Le Parisien
tells us that: The Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi speaks on the phone with the leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, has announced the presidency in a statement. ~ small extrapolation (or how I found the right track) ~ What few observers have noted, the anachronistic style of Colonel K. (*) It is based on a story whose heroes are heroic fallen a long time: the best, like Che Guevara, left the first and feet first. Few remaining dinosaurs like Castro, but do conduct more extensive. His time was that of the young Yasser Arafat, the PLO fighter and Fatah, calling Andreas Baader and the RAF to train in the Palestinian camps. Colonel K. in person was a great revolutionary, a follower of terrorism as a battle strategy. Today, he draws these devils of Bin Laden and Zerkhaoui on the walls to encourage people to place themselves under its banner. - But those two have nothing to do with the communist left, once internationalist, which collapsed with the Wall of Shame and the end of the European division. Today, the postures of the revolutionary left of the years 1960-80 are no longer acceptable, because too many leaders who were adopted fearsome and bloodthirsty tyrants. - Therefore the position is anachronistic, even draped in a costume of nomadic desert. And most importantly, it's just a posture, now destroyed as a facade decoration in which revels Colonel K. Most leaders of the Nazi dictatorship were already big posers. Goering and Goebbels in particular. Corporal H. was, meanwhile, berserk: the serial killer most prolific in history, since the world began. And nobody could stop him for twelve long years. - Look, I've found the right track: Gaddafi berserk! - It must be stopped before he turned his country into a battlefield where his people will kill each other. In these circumstances, the removal of the tyrant is a simple hello public action. PS: compare what is comparable. The number of casualties that can be attributed to Corporal H. or St. comrade, Colonel K. will never reach. Nevertheless, it is next to the plate, unaware of the situation it creates. Like many others, an opponent of Libyan
says at the moment: on Al Jazeera
: we are dealing with a madman, a criminal disturbed, irresponsible. And we hear screaming in the background, Colonel hallucinating, like if a dog barked in the distance.
مساء الخير (*) Tonight, the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung title anyway: The last battle of an old Revolutionary
