Libyan official: 147 killed in 6 days of clashes

Six days of tribal clashes in a remote desert town in southern Libya have killed 147 people, the country’s health minister said Saturday.

Fatma al-Hamroush said in a news conference in Tripoli that the fighting in Sabha has also left 395 wounded. Around 180 people have been transported to the capital Tripoli for emergency treatment, she said.

The clashes in the oasis region some 400 miles south of Tripoli show the fragile authority of the Libyan government, particularly in the isolated settlements that dot the southern desert.

With only a nascent national army and police force, Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council relies on militias comprised of former rebels to keep the peace, and the country’s vast distances makes it difficult to deploy them to trouble spots.

Deposed dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s 40 years in power moreover left behind a patchwork of local rivalries. The Sabha fighting pits southern Libyan Arab tribes that reportedly had close connections to Gadhafi against the African Tabu tribe, which fought against him.

My comment:

When NATO fought for Islamic Jihad in Libya, it was an eye opener for all who fear that democratic institutions will favor Islam on mainline Europe also.

I have earlier written that Islamic Jihad will transport Kadaffi’s Libya into a other Somalia. NATO basically helped the Muslims in Libya to replace one evil with a greater evil.

Islamic Libya going the Somalian way

Four people have been killed and at least five injured in a firefight which erupted earlier in the centre of the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

The clash centred on an old intelligence building bombed by Nato in last year’s uprising against ex-leader Muammar Gaddafi.
A brigade from the city of Misrata tried to free prisoners held inside, leading to a confrontation with another armed group from Tripoli.
The casualties were from both brigades.

Islamic Jihad is fighting for control over Somalia.

The gunfight broke out near the building between Zawiya and Saidi streets.The roads quickly reopened once the situation had calmed.

“I regret the incident. I don’t want to go into details, but it was the result of a problem between Misrata thwars [revolutionaries] and members of the military council of Zawiya street,” Abdul Hakim Belhaj, the head of the Tripoli military council, told a news conference.

“What happened is an irresponsible act and the situation is now under control. Since the afternoon, we have not heard any gunshots,” he added.

It is yet another sign of the continuing security threat posed by the disparate militias comprising former rebels, says the BBC’s Mark Lowen in Tripoli.

They still wield significant power in the absence of a national army or police.

But Libya’s new government, under popular pressure, has now begun the process of disbanding the groups and integrating them within the defence and interior ministries, our correspondent says.

Tens of thousands of fighters still make up the various brigades, and sporadic clashes have broken out between them in recent weeks.

My comment:

Noting good comes from a group of people, shouting “allah is great”. When NATO helped goons from Islamic Jihad to take over Tripoli, more trouble was in the pipeline.

One horrible dictatorship, have been replaced by another.

With multiple Islamic military groups armed to their teeth, Tripoli will very soon become the next Mogadishu.

Only when the last and final man of lawlessness enters the World stage, the Islamic civil war will be brought to an end.

Let us wait and watch.

Sudan fascist visits his Islamic brother in Tripoli

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has arrived in Libya on his first visit abroad since he was charged with incitement to genocide.

President Bashir arrived with a high-level delegation for a two-day visit, airport sources were quoted as saying.

He is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of genocide in Darfur and the visit was criticised by Human Rights Watch.

It said it raised questions about the new Libyan leadership’s commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

President Bashir was met by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, chairman of Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council (NTC).

They meet at Tripoli airport, a Libyan official – who asked not to be named – told Reuters news agency.

Cameroon — Victory for who? The Muslim brotherhood seems to have great friends in Paris and London.

My comment:

The BBC loved the shouting of “allah is great” when NATO helped the Islamic Jihad to take over Tripoli.

We know it has been hot in the province of Darfur in Sudan for millions of people. I guess such are the fruits of the prolonged “arab spring”.

Why did NATO not send a squad to arrest the war criminal from Sudan, when he was wining and dining with his Islamic brother in Tripoli?

Faulty intelligence, I presume.

US makes Tripoli the next Mogadishu

Libyan rebels have taken control of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli.

Libya_Tripoli_Rebels(2)_180 — The looting of Tripoli has begun. Islamic Jihadist's supported by NATO is turning the city into another Somalia.

TV footage showed fighters breaking off the head of a statue of the Libyan leader and kicking it along the ground. They also seized items from his home.

It is not known if Col Gaddafi or any of his family are inside the compound.

Rebel leaders say they are in control of almost all of the capital, though there are still pockets of resistance.

My comment:

The Talibanization of Libya has begun. One mad and evil regime will replace another.

Never before have there been a wider gap between the realities on the ground, and the media coverage on channels like BBC and CNN.

The city of Tripoli looks like in the days the US was supporting “freedom fighters” in Mogadishu, Somalia.

The US do not have a solid record of bringing “freedom and democracy” to the Muslim world. Not even the looters and hooligans in Libya, will show any respect for human rights.

Joel 1:15
Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.

After the looting, the rebels will start fighting each other. NATO will not be able to see any difference between the gangsters who will kill each other shouting “allah is great”.
