Here are few details that have filtered in the morning: "Only the cities of Tripoli and Sirte are still in the hands of supporters of al-Gaddafi" reports a correspondent Spiegel, based on the assertions of Tunisian and Egyptian refugees. "But there are conflicting statements, a restaurant patron Zouara [60 km from the Tunisian border] told us in the West of Tripoli, everyone was still to Gaddafi." In a telephone conversation with chain Al-Arabiya , the Libyan Minister of Interior [resigning] Abdoulfattah Junise suggests a possible fate of Muammar Qaddafi: The "Guide of the Revolution" would prefer suicide to exile. "Gaddafi's regime is finished," the General Staff (in Spiegel ). Like many other media, Le Monde announced that: The eastern Libya is under control of insurgents. Major cities in Tobruk and Benghazi Ajdabiya in the province of Cyrenaica, holding their breath waiting for the promised crackdown by Muammar Gaddafi. According to one owner, all ports and terminals in the country are closed. Other News

Guardian: "There was heavy fire in Tripoli this morning, when forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi opened fire on the streets. This is the result of Gaddafi's call his supporters to rise against the rebels "(
yesterday). "The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs has said that he believes

about a thousand people have died so far." - "The protesters would, according to sources, took control of Misurata - if true, this would be the first city in Western countries fall into the hands of demonstrators, whose supporter base is mostly in the East. Reuters reports that small towns in the East would be quiet with little sign of police presence and military tension. "-" Protesters supported by units of the army rallied to their cause claiming control of almost all the eastern half of the Mediterranean coast of Libya, 1,600 kilometers long. "
Le Monde publishes
this evidence for both optimism and concern:
Muammar Gaddafi is" worse "than the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein said the representative of Libya resigned from the Arab League. "I think it's a matter of days, not more. Unfortunately, I think at the same time it will be expensive to Libya and the Libyans, because this man is capable of anything, "said Abdel Moneim al-Honi in an interview with Saudi-owned pan-Arab daily Al Hayat." I think horrible massacres occur, "he added, dismissing the possibility of a civil war in the country. According to this ex-member of the Command Council of the Libyan revolution, Colonel Qadhafi has ruled:" either he kills, either he is killed. "-
And this:
A French doctor quoted by Liberation, which has just run away Benghazi says that repression in this city has done "more than 2000 dead" last week.
Can this account of the special correspondent of the newspaper, which has just arrived in the country:


All along the coastal road that leads to Tobruk, a hundred miles west of the border, security is now assured by armed civilians, wearing outfits disparate taken to the military. Foreign journalists are supported by taxis refusing any compensation. The law enforcement official have disappeared, including battle sites of WWII deemed unsafe for its munitions that can still be found. - The symbols of the regime were systematically destroyed. The portraits of Colonel Qaddafi had been trampled or mustaches or rigged pirate bands. Monuments to the glory of the Green Book, the bible of the Libyan revolution, were destroyed with a hammer. All flags Libyan officials, a plain rectangle of green, were replaced by banners with three horizontal stripes, red, black and green: the flag of independence in 1951. Terrible Contrast: On the one hand, the image of a liberated country where Western journalists are now sending their stories, and the other the total absence of information, black and fuzzy stories to share Returnees and unverifiable videos on YouTube

During the night, gunshots were heard, according to a woman who lives near the city (Tripoli). .- "Mercenaries are everywhere with their weapons. Unable to open any door or window.

~ I extrapolate, therefore I exist ~


Commentators now speak of a country "halved". The cut is not only physical, it is also the media. - That's why the images from the East "free" does raise a moderate enthusiasm. Indeed, it seems difficult to rejoice and claim victory when no news is the part where the lights are off, except for those, probable, pickups who comb the streets. - People barricaded themselves, as they always have, in Berlin during the dark years (and brown) or Baghdad in 2003 under the threat of
American overkill. At the time, there was a courageous blogger, pseudo-named Salam Pax, who was later allowed in drafting the Guardian . When I read his posts, I immediately knew it was there, during the bombings or the "field", as we said at the time. And we also said that his blog was phony, that it was misinformation. People talking without reading. Or who read poorly because they did not
literary training to enable them to recognize an authentic text. The bare minimum for an analyst. - But times have changed. War Gulf had been accompanied by a huge wave of censorship (or self-censorship) in the land of free speech (freedom of speech
). Today, the Internet has doubled, tripled, quintupled, whatever, and misinformation has become less easy to spot, censorship more subtle. - An example: Who can read all tweets that flow into the tube at this very moment (Feb17 # - # libya )? Must authenticate as journalists say the sources, which is impossible in this mass of data. It was certainly the tweets of people known or recognized, journalists and witnesses on the spot, but these People can not be everywhere at once. They cite, besides the places they visit, facts that people tell them they intersect. Can they verify, cross-checking on the spot? Their interlocutors are they reliable? More testimony would be desirable, but it would then follow minute by minute

the son Twitter, which prevents any audit work. And misinformation are Real: it consists, in part, in a form (often partisan) of media overkill, which swallows everything in its path. While the "new media" belong mostly to users, which is deducted from the blogger-twitto-facebook-sphere does not take the information as it is not authenticated sources. Thus, a large number of observations and evidence are removed by the editors of mainstream media (mainstream ), since these contributions are unverifiable on the mass of incoming messages. It is therefore, a conclusion that I dislike intensely, a unidimensionality (Herbert Marcuse) information, properly scary given the number of users of the Network, which would allow a constructive polyphony. - Moreover, everything is uniform, or should be, for access to the "discussion". For an eternal debate on forums or blogs in sight, leading a good part of the Internet, which leaves little room for the source of information that could identify, like Salam Pax, the authenticity text of his or her word. Nor, often, the mere "informed opinion". And fewer still to reality, which is by definition of the unspeakable, yet accessible by the force of a story like that of Primo Levi ( questo è un uomo If, Einaudi 1947). - Thus, we swim in an ocean of doxa As said the ancient Greeks, of personal opinion, subjectivity dear to the philosopher Descartes I said so I'm . - Proof of existence very random, incidentally. But, having already so derivative, I'm not going to get into a debate about the transcendental subject dear to this old critical of Kant.

And I go back to topic: Libya halved, that reminds me of this exercise in extrapolation, once again, the division of Berlin (1961-1989). At that time the Internet still rudimentary, was the business of universities and the army. Undoubtedly the State TV East (such as Tripoli today) and the chains of the West, who spent all those wonderful advertisements for consumer goods that East Berliners did not see once a year when the family came West to visit or send a packet with coffee, chocolate and American cigarettes. However, the risk of repeating myself, Colonel K. saw an anachronistic battle: the Cold War has just ended in Arab countries! Few supporters remain. China perhaps, North Korea, Cuba, one or two Latin American countries ... For this side, the current situation in Tripoli can think of an East Berlin came in resistance, armed to the teeth, located on the territory of West Germany. The opposite situation of West Berlin at the time of the GDR. And big interests are at stake: Colonel K., who says he has nothing in his pockets and his gun in hand, is credited with a fortune similar to that of his former colleague Mubarak. - He has enough money to raise a huge army of mercenaries. It does that already since February 14. And that's what won him the mutiny of the army of the East.

A final excursion into history: Colonel K. was compared to Caligula by an observer. I would tend to Nero. The first was killed by soldiers of the praetorian guard, the other was driven to suicide, both are dead because their folly ruined the Roman Empire. - You quoque, fili mi? - Nero, accused of burning Rome, imputed the package the early Christians: they were thrown to the beasts of the rotting Rome or cross roads, it seems, will lead all . Tacitus recounts this episode: "no human means, nor imperial generosity, nor does expiatory ceremonies silenced the public outcry accusing Nero of ordering the fire. To allay these rumors, he offered other culprits, and made to suffer the tortures of the most refined of men to a class hated for their abominations, and the vulgar called Christians. This name comes from Christ, who, under Tiberius, was delivered to death by the procurator Pontius Pilatus. Repressed for a moment, this pernicious superstition again overflowed, not only in Judea, where it had its source, but even in Rome, where everything shuts the world of infamy and horror flows and find supporters. It first seized those who confessed their sect and their revelations countless others who were less convinced that the fire of hatred for mankind. They made their punishment entertainment: some covered with animal skins, eaten by dogs perish, while others died on the cross, or they were coated with flammable material, and when the day ceased to shine, we burning up the torches. Nero made his gardens for this spectacle, and gave the same time the circus, where sometimes he mingled with people dressed as a coachman, and sometimes driving a chariot. Also, although these men were guilty and would have deserved the utmost severity, the hearts were open to compassion, thinking that this was not the public good, but the cruelty of one, they were sacrificed. " ( Annals XV, 44 - version : Wikipedia ) One feels contempt of Tacitus for the" sect "of Christians at the beginning of the text. ; But his conclusion that history turns against the Emperor Nero. Four years later (year 68), it was dismissed by the Senate and forced to commit suicide. - Like the assassination of Caligula (in 41 to 29 years), it was certainly an operation hello public. This is what allows the comparison with Colonel K. which may, after his speech and his enlightened desperate acts, like the pack of mercenaries to terrorize the population that sends a dismissal in the rules. - The history, which often repeats itself but surprised sometimes by the events it generates completely unexpected - like the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Arab Spring example - to understand, in the relativistic certain constellations current in light of this double determination of the repetition ( mimesis and reproduction) and novelty ( poieisis , production). Spring Arabic is new, "poetic", as are all spring, and he participates in the rehearsal of "mimicry." Like all seasons taken in the cyclicality of their return. Conclusion?
is the double meaning of history which gives (the optimists):
The tyrant will be overthrown. And the trees will bloom again. - The pessimists will have time to return (invalidate) the proposal. Their comments are open.

He would apply to the population, only, "may yet save him." - And this little comparison has just fallen on the live blog the Guardian : It Really Is Like Nero fiddling while Rome burns . - Literally: It really is like Nero who amused (*) while Rome burns. - The expression to fiddle while Rome
burns is usually made by:
really care as the year 40. - Here, it must also be taken literally (see "extrapolations" above)! - (*) According to the rumor, Nero allegedly played his lyre [other direction (to ) fiddle violin, fiddle] and sang at the top of the Quirinal, while the city burned.

A noisy silence certainly made headlines, announcements, statements, comments, reports, reports. But silence still, while we imagine the cries of the population terrorized, raped, murdered. - The insistence of Colonel K. on "youth drug addict" is not trivial. A detour is required by the etymology: The word assassin comes among other Arabic حشاشين, haschashin ("people who smoke hashish, cannabis or grass). - The name also refers to members of a militant Islamic sect, called Nizari particularly active in the eleventh century and publicly murdered his opponents (see Samarkand by Amin Malouf).

They took the corpses to make them disappear, perhaps to burn them, because they know that foreign journalists are getting closer. Physicians who objected were threatened. This happened yesterday and the day before yesterday " he said to the Italian missionary agency Misna. ( France 24 ) The Guardian

a new newsfeed . According to Reuters , Colonel K. also reportedly said that "the protesters marched to the milk and Nescafe mixed with hallucinogenic drugs" ... "They have 17 years. It gives them pills in the evening, they put hallucinogenic pills in their drinks, their milk, coffee, Nescafe their . " - Even if the situation does not really ready to smile, it can whether Nescafe will reject the advertisement, which could "tarnish his image", as had formerly Karcher, France? - And the question arises: Colonel K. would it be a son of pub?

A resident involved in the management of the city of Benghazi said that crude oil exports were not disrupted. But another resident suggested that supplies could be affected. - Information could not be confirmed with the usual operators of these terminals. - Reuters finally gives details from a lawyer, whose sources are people present in areas under the control of insurgents. "Exports are continuing at the same pace as before. (...) The revolutionary protect these areas because they are of the utmost importance. We do not want it there's sabotage and oil exports stop, "he added. - According to the lawyer, Colonel Gaddafi might also seek to disrupt oil operations in the country. "Yesterday, the regime tried to blow up a pipeline, but one of the pilots ejected and his plane crashed in the desert." [6:10 p.m.] Some reporters at the Egyptian border are reports of thousands of refugees who flock to Libya still. The night is cold, and nothing is done to accommodate these people, who are forced to sleep under the stars. No UN, no Europe, nothing but nice words! - Last night on BFM , José Bové has yet said it is urgent to provide practical assistance, material assistance to refugees and people of eastern Libya "liberated" .
medical units, blood, medicines, food, all these things
essentials whose people have an urgent need . - But apparently preferred to send film crews! And we always evacuated en masse the Europeans ... [18:30]
Details of the work of journalists on the spot: the U.S. State Department said diplomats had met with the Libyan authorities about the entry permitted, Libya, journalists from CNN, BBC Arabic and Al Arabiya. - The other journalists who entered "illegally in Libya," are considered by the pro-Gaddafi as agents working for Al Qaeda.

[19:30] The information from the besieged cities and the coup in the capital are less frequent. is merely in the blackout, which incorporates the it in the cold night, to report and comments about each other .

[7:40 p.m.] Thus, the live blog
of
Guardian : The ruling out any U.S. response to Libyan crisis, including military options, said spokesman of the White House, Jay Carney: "I leave open the bilateral options. I ruled out anything. " - It adds that the situation calls for "swift action". (Source: Reuters ) [20:00] prying cameras of France 2 come in a morgue in Benghazi, turning us into voyeurs with these "difficult images" (Marie Drucker). - The reports are devoted to Libya between 6 and 7 minutes. Then, it is our daily bread: the news item! The son of Guardian and World admit it more frankly: information very fragmented, unreliable, difficult to verify, to overlap. - Especially since Libya has been touted as a "separate country in two." - The risk is that this division makes up a deadly chaos where no one knows who is who. Indeed, pro-K. and anti-K. could be just the blinders that prevent us from seeing a range of forces far more nuanced and complex, whose supporters resist any categorization in black and white, good and evil. - This is also true in times of peace you never know who is who. If we judged by deeds, they are often ambiguous, contradictory. And appearances, as everyone knows, are misleading. Information most contradictory of the day is that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi invites reporters this morning "the whole world" in Libya, while Arab-Western media are castigated and demonized by his father, Colonel K. - I wonder anyway what happened to those real journalists the likes of Hemingway, Jack London. I do not see anywhere that presenters, commentators, experts, correspondents on the balcony of their hotel. - In Baghdad, they were "integrated" ( embedded ) to military convoys. And today? course, I can talk behind my keyboard! But I do not practice the profession of journalism, me ... I am just a translator ... At the time of the Pharaohs, I would scribe! - And I take the liberty of slipping sometimes a personal reflection that comes in the midst of all these texts from the world ... During a blackout ! [8:30 p.m.] To contradict this statement, and I am very glad,
France 24 reports a true testimony. Gerard Buffet, a French anesthesiologist return Benghazi, described to AFP the situation there: On 17 February, fighting broke out. According to Gerard Buffet, there are around 200 deaths in the city. " - February 18: The fights are "much tougher" and are "many more deaths." "It operated day and night, shot in the Torax, in the head. We lost a lot of patients," he says. - February 19: "Any the town was invaded by mercenaries, it drew from everywhere, mortar, rocket launcher, people told of horrific scenes, everyone was scared. Aircraft passed over Benghazi and shot in the streets, with heavy weapons. They even sent rockets. It was carnage. "- In total, he estimates that there were about 1000 deaths in the region of Benghazi.

The figures, which our civilization is so fond of: the mania to make everything measurable, including what is not. Vains tests squaring the circle, which break the story of this doctor. [21:00] And a bit of misinformation to enliven the evenings on the liveticker Spiegel: "The agency Reuters writes:" The U.S. government has no reason to believe that Gaddafi is dead. " This press release refers to a bizarre rumor, which according to the fellows down the price of oil. When asked if he has any information about the veracity of the information that Gaddafi was shot, a representative of U.S. government says "no." - According to Reuters , it is impossible to trace the origin of the rumor. " - Yet, the stock seems like a good track!

"- Oh! Tonight, a ferry chartered by the United States is stuck with 300 refugees on board in the port of Tripoli because of bad weather. C ' is what explains, observers say Spiegel and Guardian , lack of aggressiveness toward the U.S. regime in Libya.

He told them that "we will die on Libyan soil," calling them to "resist" to "rejoice", "dancing, singing" and "stay up all night" and concluded his brief speech like this: " Muammar Gaddafi is one of yours! ". This time, the appearance of the leader, his fur hat pulled down over his head and a microphone in hand, took everyone by surprise.

One wonders light corresponding, or not, time of day, on the composition of the crowd and the number of protesters ... The video will probably be available soon. - Besides this:

This intervention revives speculation on the outcome of the popular uprising in Libya. If it was not already obvious, you'd swear that Colonel K. abandon not like his ex-colleagues Tunisia and Egypt, not in the same way at least!

[18:30] "The agency Reuters reports that, according to residents, some parts of the capital would be under the control of the regime's opponents.

'they will never return,' said a resident of Benghazi's special envoy Guardian Martin Chulov. - Zaouia, a coastal town west of Tripoli, is in the hands of protesters. At Adjabiya, to the east, the army and the police told Al Jazeera they have withdrawn from their barracks to join the opposition. Cities cleared control Gaddafi are governed by committees of lawyers, doctors, tribal leaders and military officers - with few commitments Islamists. "- Here is the link to the new
newsfeed of
Guardian . [19:30] Before his string of miscellaneous, log France 3 shows a report on the resistance in Benghazi against a possible attack, including air, pro-regime forces. We see an arsenal of weapons, machine guns, antiaircraft missiles. Determined, the military and civilians gathered in Tripoli also intend to walk, as has already been announced. [20:00] The newspaper France 2 opens on the release of French hostages in Niger. Then the summary of the appearance of Colonel K., deemed "surreal." And the correspondent of the chain that has just arrived in Tripoli. "Live" from his hotel, he has no information to give because it is "framed by the Libyan Ministry of Information." - In Benghazi, the story of Martine Laroche-Joubert demonstrates the huge crowd at the Friday prayer, then the perimeter where organized armed resistance against Gaddafi. - Finally, the passage through the Libyan-Tunisian border where the correspondent of the public finds necessary, the influx of refugees. He stressed that some of them, including countries of origin are unable to organize the repatriation, are "left to their own in Libya ". information begin to dry up. On live stream of Al Jazeera , it continues to earn the huge population movements that accompany the Libyan revolution, another report shows a protester who has just be assassinated today in the eye of a camera shaking. His blood flows in a large red pool. - According to the presenter, Tripoli is the last bastion of Colonel K. - The Guardian publishes a dispatch from Reuters, it appears that pockets of resistance in Tripoli are dispersed by armed men on pickup trucks pulling up in the air with their Kalashnikovs (source: Tripolitans the phone). ~ Blackout (one more time) ~ We do not know. It is still believed to know. We guess. It is speculated. - That's the blackout. - Linguists, psychologists, literary find here material to research. Ignorance talkative (and noisy). To which is added the speech that rises from the position of powerlessness, where the speaker is placed. If President Sarkozy said, for example, that Colonel K. must leave, he admits there by his impotence, especially if it also excludes military action. Position of powerlessness of the great leaders of this world, and position of ignorance of analysts, commentators and experts. Speaking without knowledge. And speak without being able to act. - Double position which gives rise to the speech's most "diverse and varied" whose only real common point is the utopia in the etymological sense of the word: U-topos the nonsuit
from where "it issue ". If one is willing to concede that the only real place is the real, all this talk of unreality are hit, sometimes a frank surrealism. - You can still push the argument by saying that the real escape us by nature, our speeches are necessarily condemned to Utopia and unreality. I except, however, not to succumb to pessimism over the black full blackout, few writers who have said the real. Anne Frank said. Primo Levi, I have already quoted, said. In the other camp, are perhaps Louis-Ferdinand Celine (Journey
) and Knut Hamsun (Hunger ). Before them, Franz Kafka (The Trial
), who pushed the unreality, surreality to the climax where the real, necessarily, must reappear. - These texts and others save us by saving the language we speak and think. These texts and others save us the speech of a thousand-one forms, where the speaker speaks, precisely, it is not. Better or worse: When he speaks, he is condemned to nonbeing. Placed under the sign of ignorance and powerlessness, these speeches have abandoned the position of being and reality. - Ignorance and helplessness all relative, of course. But the starting point of this digression was ignorance blackout puts us, which I added, in terms of impotence, of non-interference policy followed since the Spring concert by the Tunisian nations. However, we must get to the evidence that most of the time, most countries of this world are struck by the blackout. And Most of the time, the policy of non-interference in internal affairs of countries is advocated in high places. Thus, most of the time, our ignorance and impotence hit most of the world,
supposedly globalized which, in reality, we do not know much and for which we can almost anything . *** A press
Doctors Without Borders
(list in right column) dated 24 February: MSF is extremely concerned about the situation and his team work tirelessly to achieve areas of Libya, where many people are affected by violence. - For now, due to insecurity, it is impossible to provide the necessary humanitarian assistance in Tripoli, capital of Libya. - On the Tunisian border, an MSF team Two people are still blocked and can not enter Libya. - MSF continues to work to supply equipment and personnel in Libya. A second truck carrying medical supplies including surgical equipment, is on the way to the border between Egypt and Libya. - This release is quite similar to today the live blog of Al Jazeera just published in English.

[10:20 p.m.] Ban Ki-Moon holds her speech. He reported further clashes and new victims, crimes against humanity. He said that the situation will worsen. As secretary general, urged the Security Council of the UN to find "a wide range of options" to "actions" to make, and it states: "concrete actions". He then spoke of an "options": sanctions. It also details the difficult humanitarian situation of refugees and foreign nationals stranded in Libya. It calls on Europe to open its borders and is seeking a presence at the border. He speaks of an emergency situation and concludes: "It is time to act." [10:27 p.m.] Very short press release, which the Secretary General of the United Nations was evasive when asked the question of military intervention. I should add a little note to the above digression. This speech was emotional. Ban Ki-Moon had difficulty speaking, often looked at his sheet. He appeared to have tears in their eyes (a little hidden by the reflection of his glasses). It would have exploded into tears then, do we hear on Al Jazeera . It certainly was not ignorant of the situation since kept hour by hour by people far more informed than journalists in Tripoli hotel, framed by the son of Colonel K., who is emerging as a true minister of propaganda. And Ban Ki-moon stressed the urgency, with the space, the other is coordinated real: time there as he runs out! - So this is a somewhat climactic speech (and certainly atypical) where the emotion of the speaker is somewhat reminiscent of the real emergency in this fleshly life and death struggle in which, almost powerless, we are witnessing all.

[10:30 p.m.] On the other side, the new propaganda chief, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, said foreign journalists he invited: "We're dealing with terrorists ... The army decided not to attack the terrorists and give a chance for negotiation. Hoping to negotiate peacefully, we will begin to do tomorrow. " (In Guardian) - That which is sent!
