Most Latin American countries have condemned the repression of the troops of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Three exceptions: Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. - As a possible "safe", one can also think about two or three African countries, including Zimbabwe. - The newspaper also quotes Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expressed Monday [28-02-2011] its desire to create an international mediation to resolve the crisis in Libya and [which] has accused States U.S. and its NATO allies want to use force.
Regarding the "sampling points", the live ticker of Spiegel reports: "The head of state Gaddafi and his family might be plotting an escape in Belarus, which is what seems to indicate, according to the SIPRI , the Research Institute on Peace Stockholm , at least two landings private plane at an airport Gaddafi Belarus during the last week. The head of state of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is said to be the last European dictator. There is also evidence [ again according to the SIPRI] that his country had delivered 40 tons of weapons to Libya in recent weeks. As a means of payment, Qaddafi probably routed diamonds in Belarus with his private jet. " And here is an excerpt more consistent (always in English) of the interview of Colonel K., dating from yesterday
:
:
[10:10] In the west of Libya, witnesses reported the gathering of soldiers loyal to the regime: residents feared an attack on the city of Nalout [or Nalut] at about 60 kilometers from the Tunisian border. The area is already under the control of the opponents. (in
Spiegel )
[10:25] The situation is worrying Zaouia. The regime forces, who encircled, blocked the supply of downtown in the hands of the opposition (in
Guardian
). - Since yesterday, Colonel K. therefore seeks by all means (negotiations, bombing, commando actions, coups, asphyxia) to regain ground. No success yet. ... [11:10]
Le Monde reports a "show of force supporters of Gaddafi" The Libyan army strengthens its presence in Dehiba ext border with Tunisia, in western Libya. Military vehicles and soldiers armed with Kalashnikovs were deployed to the border post, which they decorated with green flags of Libya.

[14:00] The Saudi Arabian stock market has lost 7.7% after the announcement by Reuters
the release of a Shiite religious activist a constitutional monarchy in this country (absolutist)! (In Spiegel) - Meanwhile Libyan assets are frozen everywhere (USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria ...) - According to one observer, it seems difficult to assess the personal fortune of Gaddafi clan because it is inseparable from that of Libya ... Also China and now Russia, were against a ban on flights over the territory of Libya, advocated by David Cameron and NATO. However, analysts say they could not implement such an "option" if they got the green light from the UN. And Russia will have a veto!
[2:15 p.m.] The situation on the Tunisian border becomes really critical for refugees keep coming, humanitarians bring tents and food, but the demand is much too important to be satisfied. (Al Jazeera
) - Marked for several days already, this situation could be quickly resolved by the Western powers, who for now prefer to take warlike postures and "punish" a power which in practice is already more! - Colonel K. knows well: apart from skirmishes or commando actions (albeit deadly) and intimidation, he can not envisage a major operation without risking a bloodbath which would be the first victim. - I guess that Colonel K. knows that his last hour has struck, and he tries to play all cards he still believes in his possession. This is where is his "unconscious" (and its apparent "inconsistency"): He thinks he still has cards to play. And above all: he seems convinced it's a game! - A game of massacre, certainly, but a game nonetheless. And it will not come out victorious, it is certain to get out, period! Belarus, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, or elsewhere. A word on the "freezing" of assets: It may feel (diffuse) that Gaddafi's Libya is being resulted. And it's not just the (hundreds of) billions that accrue to the right to "the Libyan people." There are also huge oil reserves, to be considered "redistribution". So the question arises: Who is the Libyan people, who inherited the vast fortune? Is this a "legal" person, a person "physical"? Which appear in the notary's office to demand his "due"? But above all: who is the notary? ...
The news of the afternoon:
- At the Tunisian border humanitarian situation deteriorates further. The live
the World book that testimony from a doctor on site: "I am part of a group of Tunisian doctors. The humanitarian situation in Ras Jedir and Dhehiba (Tunisia-Libya border) is abysmal. The wave of help and support mobilized by Tunisians no longer seems sufficient. Egypt is trying to repatriate its citizens. It is imperative send boats to evacuate the flow of people. Our convoy of six tonnes of aid arrived in Dhehiba, but apparently The Red Crescent has only a tiny amount of water. " - Furthermore, the newspaper wrote that soldiers loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have strengthened border with the south of Tunisia they had deserted Sunday and Monday (source: witnesses to the AFP).
- I spent some time translating an article by Muhammad
- France 24 reports these three stories: The insurgency
the side of the regime, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi ... has "denied" that the Libyan regime has attacked civilians, in an interview with Britain's Sky News broadcast Tuesday. Asked whether the fact that belied the Libyan authorities would be taken to the people of Libya, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi said: "Yes, we deny it." - "I challenge anyone to bring me the proof" to the contrary, he said, adding that journalists were free to move wherever they wanted in the country.

so one can speak today of" interventionist ", headed by British Prime David Cameron and some general Americans who take such an air operation as a "challenge" (
challenge), while conceding that it would require "the prior destruction of air defenses in the country" (General James Mattis). On the other hand, are the "non-interventionist", mainly China and Russia. But also, it seems, the Libyan people themselves, as shown in the text of Muhammad - Truly diabolical - that you can imagine is this: Colonel K. let the situation deteriorate (which it does already), the West intervened and there is chaos, whose primary beneficiary is Gaddafi himself. Indeed, the Libyans may strongly disapprove of the operation of foreign armies on their territory, with the feeling (just) to fly their revolution, and they could easily turn against the "invaders" and "occupiers" potential. For his part, Colonel K. which, among Libyan dissidents and Westerners will quickly chosen, will fight alongside "his people" and ... - Yes, I know. This scenario will not happen. - So, good night! مساء الخير
