Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 4, Part 9 (Bloodbath in Tripoli)

Previous threads from today: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8


Occasionally, since the people I follow cover Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan also, if I see something really important about those countries, I'll post it here but I plan to mostly focus on Libya because they're having the hardest time getting the word out and Qaddafi's brutality is more systematic and I believe the scale exceeds the brutality in the other country.

They're also the country with the most propagandists on Twitter.

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, Qaddafi has brought in thousands of mercenaries from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other North African coutries, specifically Chad. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=103697256377254&oid=179449562095105 (Youtube link here) Their confessions are that they've been offered between $12,000 - $30,000 each.

Libya protests: 'Terror and bribery are blunt tools now'
Author Hisham Matar pleads with Muammar Gaddafi to hold his troops back

Hisham Matar
guardian.co.uk, Friday 18 February 2011 20.50 GMT

...

The regime became nervous, promising students a large number of generous scholarships abroad. Then it vowed to increase salaries.

...

On the 16th, a day before the planned protests, Libyan's could no longer wait. They went out in Benghazi. There was a palpable fear that the hot-blooded second city was going it alone, that the few thousand protesters were lambs going to slaughter. Their courage seemed unimaginable.

Late that night one of the Benghazi protestors posted a video on YouTube. He looked tired. His voice was hoarse.

"To my brothers in Tripoli," he said, "we can't do this alone."

...

52. Aww, sorry then.... I hope you do get feeling better quickly then..
It's a struggle, I know this from experience. Every time you get feeling a little bit better, you push yourself too hard for no other reason than because you HAVE to... then you're right back down, worse than before. I've been on this rollercoaster for 7 1/2 years now... I just turned 48 yesterday, and spent most of it in the bed...

Take the best care of yourself that you're able to, anyways, I know it ain't easy to do.. :pals:

Factbox: Facts about Saif al-Islam Gaddafi

Sun Feb 20, 2011 7:37pm EST

...

Here are facts about Saif al-Islam Gaddafi:

    - Described last year by the New York Times as "the Western-friendly face of Libya and symbol of its hopes for reform and openness," Saif al-Islam, 38, is a fluent English speaker with a PhD from the London School of Economics. He is widely seen as belonging to a camp that aims to open Libya's economy.

    - Saif al-Islam helped lead talks with Western governments that in the past 10 years saw Libya renounce nuclear weapons and end decades of isolation as a foe of the West, paving the way for large-scale investment in its oil sector.

    - Saif al-Islam has clashed publicly with the ruling elite over proposals for reforms. Some analysts believe his conservative opponents have the backing of his brothers Mutassim, a national security adviser, and Khamis, a senior military leader. In December, he took the unusual step of denying a family feud with his brothers.

    - His turf war with conservatives has escalated in the past few months, with many Libya-watchers seeing signs of his influence being held in check. Twenty journalists working for al Ghad, a media group which had been linked to him, were briefly arrested. The head of the group stepped down and its flagship newspaper stopped printing.

    ...

Urgent Appeal to Stop Atrocities in Libya
Sent by 23 NGOs to US President Obama, EU High Representative Catherine Ashton,
and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, 20 February 2011

We, the undersigned non-governmental, human rights, and humanitarian organizations, urge you to mobilize the United Nations and the international community and take immediate action to halt the mass atrocities now being perpetrated by the Libyan government against its own people. The inexcusable silence cannot continue.
As you know, in the past several days, Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s forces are estimated to have deliberately killed hundreds of peaceful protesters and innocent bystanders across the country. In the city of Benghazi alone, one doctor reported seeing at least 200 dead bodies. Witnesses report that a mixture of special commandos, foreign mercenaries and regime loyalists have attacked demonstrators with knives, assault rifles and heavy-caliber weapons.

63. God be with you, people of Libya.

The task at hand is a hard one, but you will be victorious.

Gaddafi...just leave and spare your country this bloodbath. Do one right thing in your pitiful existence.

If you don't leave, they will hang you from your heels just like Mussolini.
