Proposals security assistance to dictators Michele Alliot-Marie quacks or crypto-racist Hortefeux (recall this unfortunate sentence: it is an Arab, "is when there are many that there are problems ") does not really growing up the image of France. However, by re-shuffle by this point, criticism of the Opposition (French) is this: Every president of the Fifth Republic is the undisputed head of Foreign Affairs, regardless of the tenant also the Quai d ' Orsay.

An emissary [the regime] leave from Tripoli to Benghazi. Envoy carrying medicine and food and medical supplies to help the people of Benghazi, "said [a] Libyan official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity. - According to the website of the television channel Al Arabiya, son of Muammar Gaddafi recently tried unsuccessfully to persuade Saudi clerics to speak out against the current uprising in Libya. Saif al-Islam had contacted Salman Al Saadi Gaddafi Aouda and joined Ayedh al Garni. These two officials have refused to publish religious rulings condemning the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi. "You are killing the Libyan people. Turn to God because you're dealing (the people) unfairly. Keep the blood Libyan, you are killing the elderly and children. Fear God " said Sunday Ayedh Garni Saadi, according to comments reported by the cleric himself. - London announced Monday it had foiled a plan by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to release the country's equivalent of one billion euros in freshly printed bank notes, using, according to press reports, subterfuge worthy of a spy novel. "The finance ministry has intervened to block the departure of 900 million pounds Tickets for Libya, welcomed British Prime Minister David Cameron before the House of Common s difficult to sort out this "bombardment" of information, where the declarations of intent, convictions upon a star and attempts to negotiate some new crush intruded and verified from Libya. Imagine the Tripolitans storming the supermarkets with their nest egg of € 300 (monthly wages) allocated by the government while that militias in pickup crisscross the capital. - At Zaouia, the people who control the center certainly fear always a coup troops surrounding the city. And if Misrata just increase the number of cities "liberated" civilians are still to thank you for the air strikes and other forms of offensive-cons. - K. As for the colonel, he has not ventured to a new public appearance [will, however, a new interview published in the evening], but a number of rumors, as it tries to start negotiations with East and continues probably find support around when the world is being let go.

Thousands of cuts have been made legally by a British printer and stored in the north-east England ( France 24).

According to Reuters, aircraft
[pro-government] currently bomb a weapons depot in the eastern Libyan [ Djabiya in the city in Cyrenaica ] which is in the hands of opponents. No victim would be regrettable . (The World ) - In fact this would have happened in the afternoon, according
Abidy Fathi, a member of the temporary administration in Benghazi. (In
Guardian) - A half hour later, the Libyan Ministry of Defence ("Public Committee for the Defence") denies having made a "raid Ajdabiya and Al-rajm" (in Le Monde ) . Later in the evening, Fathi Abidy himself denies the announcement made by several agencies: the aircraft would have indeed turned into the sky Adjabiya, but without making bombing (Al Jazeera ). [then the bombing will be confirmed again!] The Guardian installed a new live blog . In the afternoon Colonel K. gave an interview a few foreign journalists invited to Tripoli ( BBC, ABC, Sunday Times ) where he states that there is no challenge to his regime in Tripoli: "My people love me. He would die for me protect. " He repeats that he can not leave power because neither President nor king, and he again accused Al Qaeda of pushing young people to revolt. Moreover, he accuses Western powers of betraying him: "I am surprised we are allied to the West in the fight against Al Qaeda and when we fight terrorists, they abandon us. Maybe they want to occupy us." (In Guardian - BBC )
We also learn that if things start to normalize the Egyptian border, the humanitarian situation is catastrophic to the west, the Tunisian side. Many refugees awaiting repatriation, while others have been forgotten or do not know where to go. Many are still stuck on the Libyan side because those who went to Tunisia settle in makeshift camps without being able to move. ( France 3) - By dint spill in humanistic discourse or raise the specter of military intervention, the Western powers forget the most basic needs of human beings in the storm, to be protected ... The problem in this case is that the humanitarian could only be one of the pretexts which the famous world leaders use and abuse when it comes to protecting their economic interests. For if one of the most virulent financial crises of modern capitalism seems gradually under control, "destabilization" as one that is currently going through the Arab world can trigger lightning return in the form of a new "oil shock" that hit Western economies barely convalescent and could undermine the for some time, plunging the West into chaos similar to the "great depression" of the last century (1929ssq.).
In this regard, Antonio Guterres, High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN warns that many citizens of Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and other poor countries are "castaways" in Libya because their Governments lack the means to evacuate. It also warns that nationals of African countries in particular are likely to be victims of violence because they are treated as mercenaries by some Libyans. (Al Jazeera )

( France 3) - By dint spill in humanistic discourse or raise the specter of military intervention, the Western powers forget the most basic needs of human beings in the storm, to be protected ... The problem in this case is that the humanitarian could only be one of the pretexts which the famous world leaders use and abuse when it comes to protecting their economic interests. For if one of the most virulent financial crises of modern capitalism seems gradually under control, "destabilization" as one that is currently going through the Arab world can trigger lightning return in the form of a new "oil shock" that hit Western economies barely convalescent and could undermine the for some time, plunging the West into chaos similar to the "great depression" of the last century (1929ssq.).

. - If Obama, for to him that the final decision of an attack against Libya, was really going to act, what I think and hope not, it would certainly end in the form currently peaceful, the Arab Revolution. Unwittingly perhaps, but do not they say that hell is paved with good intentions? Indeed, the Revolution, so far, takes place without external intervention, whether regular armed commandos or terrorists. Even Iraq, a land devastated by military attacks and suicide bombings, is beginning to take the path of a popular uprising for a more just, equitable, free. All U.S. interventions since the end of the Second World War have been fiascos military and humanitarian disasters. It would be sheer recklessness, ignorance of history and the real world, but to act again in such an operation "on behalf of Liberty".
