Recently Luis Moreno-Ocampo visited Misrata, Libya. Moreno-Ocampo is the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC). While talking with the local people the chief prosecutor told them of his intention to order investigations and possible prosecution of those who committed violent sex...

And let remind my readers the recent telephone calls between Hamas kingpin Ismail Haniyeh and Mustafa Abdul Jalil, where the Hamas man congratulated the NTC boss on their "victory" and invited him to visit Gaza. NTC leader Abdel-Jalil promised to respond to the invitation soon. Since NTC was put into administration of Libya, the first-ever invitation NTC boss received is from Hamas. This is also a point to carefully assess, keeping in mind that, under President Obama´s patronization, new allies of Hamas and Al Qaeda are gaining power in a number of African and Arab nations already. Before Obama will leave White House, it is anticipated that, he will be able to establish few more Libya-alike Sharia states in African continent and the Arab world.

Was Gaddafi Really Bad for Libya as they say? Depends on who you ask, But Here are the Facts.

The Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict Reports from Libya

Alon Ben-Meir - 29 August 2011 While the Libyan rebels have rightfully celebrated the ousting of Muammar al- Qaddafi after 42-year reign in Libya, turning him from all powerful-dictator to a cowered fugitive, the real challenges for a new Libya are just beginning. The road to writing a new consti...

World's largest retailer took advantage of anti-Ghadafy forces

It is important to watch as to how Muammar Gaddafi plays the card. He could either opt for going into exile or copy the last minute strategies of Saddam Hussain. Saddam evaded U.S. forces for months following the 2003 fall of Baghdad before they eventually tracked him down - although most analysts believe such a scheme would prove tougher in Libya because of its more disparate geography. Even if opposition forces were able to take much of Tripoli relatively easily and bloodlessly, they might still struggle to take down the final remnants of the regime.

Libya, the vast land outstretched in the northern part of Sahara is a mosaic country that comprises many tribes and families. The society is still very much traditional and the tribe or family represents the very core of that society. The fever of revolutions in the Arab world has come to the cou...

The United States national debt exceeds $14.2 trillion and climbing. About 14 million Americans are unemployed.

Time though is not on the side of the people. The conflict between the long-time dictator and rebels is causing a humanitarian nightmare

STOP NEO-IMPERIALISM II, WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE SEQUEL!

The United Nations World Food Programme is not able to access all parts of Libya to reach those trapped by the conflict.

The time has come for countries in the so-called "Sub-Saharan" Africa to redefine themselves. What is going on today in the Arab world is a mish mash of political activities that should concern all human beings everywhere for the simple reason that they are part of the overall human community. ...

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is rushing aid into areas of Western Libya that have been cut off since the fighting began between rebels and supporters of the Gaddafi regime.

With the US, France and Britain under NATO forces launching military action against the regime of Col. Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, the prospect of stability in West Asia, which had been thrown into uncertainty for the past three months on account of anti-regime popular upheavals in several Arab countries like Egypt, Libya, Bahrain and Syria, has nose-dived. Is Libya going to be another Iraq or Afghanistan? An immediate ceasefire is needed.

President Obama on Monday said he would "never hesitate" to use the U.S. military "unilaterally" to defend "interests" and "values," including "maintaining the flow of commerce." Fear of exactly that led the founders of this republic to give Congress the exclusive power to declare war.

In the not-to-distant future, bug-eyed assassins and their cyber-drone cousins could swarm against command and control targets, including rogue leaders like Col Muammar Gaddafi.

Why have we chosen to intervene in this civil war and not others? If we are going to bomb folks and destroy things then shouldn't we at least call it what it is--a war, not a "kinetic military action"

When conflict escalates, so too does hunger. Food supply chains inevitably break down with the chaos. WFP says it has "moved more than 1,500 metric tons of food into Eastern Libya and pre-positioned more than 6,000 metric tons of food in emergency supplies."

Admiral P.Kikareas, President of the World Foundation of Peace and Security, has devoted his life for peace and security among humanity. He announced today that War Crisis Management in Libya is going wrong and Dangerous.

The first few months of 2011 have become overwhelmed with revolution in the Mid East. Currents of unrest cascaded first upon Egypt and spread to Libya as wave after wave broke on unsuspecting regimes. But as with any revolution comes dire consequences not only for the countries involved but for all ...

Critical hours lie ahead as a Libyan-chartered cargo ship carrying food and medicine destined for the Gaza Strip sails past Egypt's Port Said. The Israeli Navy made contacout with the ship hours ago, to emphasize that it cannot sail through though an area under formal Israeli blockade. The ship's stated destination is the Egyptian port of El-Arish, in the northern Sinai, not far from Egypt's Rafah crossing into Gaza. What will happen now?

As a Libyan charity was set sail in a chartered cargo ship carrying food and medical aid destined for the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense and Foreign Ministers of Israel had already intervened to discourage them. An Israeli naval assault at sea at the end of May on six ships sailing as a Freedom Flotilla to Gaza resulted in the deaths of eight Turkish men and one American high school student of Turkish origin. When it was first announced in January 2009 during the Gaza war, there was no public challenge to Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. But Israel did not do a great job of publicizing and explaining this formal naval blockade -- at least until the Freedom Flotilla was already on its way. Now, the lessons do appear to have been absorbed. Israel's UN Ambassador has written to the United Nations to ask for support to stop attempts to challenge the naval blockade. And, for better or for worse, all indications suggest that Israel's Naval blockade of Gaza -- a measure which is rooted in international customary law -- appears to be quietly gaining international assent.

Once an international outcast for its penchant for terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, Libya now wants foreigners to take a greater stake in the oil market and in turn encourage local firms to play a larger role as well.

Libya is a butchery and, which is worse, the butcher is totally mad; from his childish, nonsensical and inane Green Book (who remembers it?) to the recent theatrical appearance as Africa´s "king" in sackcloth, Gaddafi prevented Libyans from becoming a modern nation acknowledged for their natio...
