Libya - A chronicle of live
Monday, February 21
18:22 pm - After perhaps three hundred people were killed yesterday in Benghazi under the fire of the armed forces, others perhaps sixty this morning in Tripoli, the BBC announced recently that the entire Libyan diplomatic delegation to the UN, in the absence of the ambassador that should guide, said they no longer pose the Gaddafi government, but the Libyan people arose. It invited the United Nations and the international community to condemn Gaddafi and its bloody repression, and even asked the UN to declare no-fly zones and the heavens Libyan intervene if the violence will not cease. With this I would say that the fate of Gaddafi is marked.
18:27 pm - It seems that at this time one or more military aircraft are targeting the protesters in Tripoli.
Ore 18.31 - Now Al Jazeera announced that about an hour ago, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has spoken personally with Qaddafi, expressing deep concern per la repressione e invitandolo a mettere fine alla violenza.
Titoli di Al Jazeera:
“Protesters in Libya have reportedly seized military bases and weapons”
“Witness: military planes are attacking protesters in Libyan capital Tripoli ”
“Reports: live ammunition being fired on protesters marching in capital Tripoli ”
“Reuters: British foreign minister Hague says Gheddafi may have left the country”
18:44 pm - Now Al Jazeera announced that about two hours ago, two Libyan Mirage landed without permission in Malta to surrender to authorities on the island claiming to have defected from aviation Libya after receiving the order to bomb the crowd in Benghazi and seeing their fellow soldiers to execute the order through flying low over the city.
21.06 - not clear there's more news from Libya. Unlike Mubarak, Gaddafi has almost managed to cut off communications with foreign countries. Heavy items of many expatriates against the regime. Only Frattini expressed his tremendous concern about the emergence of some in Benghazi threatening "Islamic Emirate" of which, for now, only he has heard. Berlusconi, meanwhile, waited all day before observing that it would be best to avoid the civil war. Gaddafi did not call "not to disturb him." Measure of success, he is doing around the world. Some time ago, news came of the movement of Italian Air Force to the south.
23.45 - Al Arabiya has just announced that Gaddafi soon appear on television.
23:59 - It seems that only about 250 protesters have died during the day today, Monday, February 21.
February 22
17:23 pm - After the brief appearance last night, Gaddafi is speaking at this moment to state TV, furiously threatening the insurgents. Much worse than Mubarak. Perhaps it will go the way of Mubarak. Perhaps that of Hitler. Perhaps that of Mussolini.
17:44 - Gaddafi is still talking. Very different dall'ingessato Mubarak on 11 February. Raising the index, with a threatening voice he read the famous book several articles of the penal code green, with the death penalty for those who cause the civil war threatens the unity of the state, etc.. etc.. Among various species of delirium, he's saying things that are true, for example, that Yeltsin shelling the parliament and no one was angry. He recalled the massacre of Wako. It was not vague. He said that the Chinese did well to crush the demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, because China is now united and strong. He's urging to the streets and to disarm the rebels. Who will listen?
17.50 - Now he's talking about an hour. It is not known, said Al Jazeera, whether live or recorded. It 's been to the register pathetic, talking about the heroes of his battles, the asabbiya the Libyan people. "We Know Each Other" was repeated many times, asking: "What tribe are you? Shabarga? At Zintan? "
" Libya is in danger. Its unity is in danger. "He speaks with long pauses. Remember Craxi. Unfortunately affaticatissima translation and the original audio too high: to what he says, came shortly.
18.07 - at this time Gaddafi has finished speaking, after Al Jazeera had been taken off the audio and initiated the comment.
18.10 - Commentators Al Jazeera: "He's out of touch with the world. This is the last time he talks to the Lybians. He's in a bunker. He Thinks he still has power, That what he says, people will listen. But it's years That When Gaddafi speaks, nobody listens. I know how Should They listen now? It's a last battle for him. He will kill a lot of people. "
18.25 - Obama strictly silent, but it was announced that Hillary Clinton will speak in two hours. Qadhafi has openly accused the U.S. of instigating the revolt. He said: "You want to be invaded by the Americans?" At the same time, he accused the Islamists: "You want to be led by people with a beard?"
18:46 - Soon there will be a closed meeting of the Board of Security. Wells Maritime Italians in Libya have stopped operations. The EU suspended negotiations that were ongoing cooperation with Libya.
18:58 - The Libyan state television is showing images of a square crowded with demonstrators pro-Gaddafi. Al Jazeera has forwarded, but is not commenting.
20:13 - The coverage of the TG1 suggests that Berlusconi has also decided to give him Gaddafi. Frattini, who yesterday launched the rescue raising the specter of his "Islamic emirates, today is merely to reiterate that there is to avoid civil war. Then worry about the incoming refugees. Schifani was decided instead to condemn the fire on the protesters, explaining that his fortune in Europe, these things do not happen, not free to take this opportunity to observe, not excusat petita , that the Italian government is another matter.
20.50 - At this time the TG2 announced that a "note of Palazzo Chigi," Berlusconi announced that today had a meeting with Gaddafi. Symptomatically, the note does not let us know what the hell he said.
21:02 - From Al Jazeera, however, we know that Gaddafi told him "that everything inside His country is the end." What has not answered the knight loved our knowledge.
21.15 - Clinton merely to condemn violence against demonstrators. It 'clear that the United States, which of course have much less weight in Libya and Egypt, can not afford to take more energetic steps in public. Who knows what they are doing under the table. But it is equally clear that, if anything, is the Security Council, which is still in closed session, must take the initiative. Much more assertive Britain, among other things sending a warship to the Libyan coast, on the pretext of evacuating its citizens.
21:32 - Al Jazeera devotes much space to the reactions in Italy than we have given our TG, underlining the extent of interest Italians in the country and condemning the oscillating behavior of the government.
21:47 - Here comes the news that the Libyan interior minister has dissocciato from Gaddafi calling on all armed forces to support the insurgents.
22.08 - E 'in this very difficult time for news of what's happening now in the country. A Libyan expatriates in the United States told France 24 that he learned by phone that all is calm now in the east, insurgents have taken control, are scouring the streets and carrying heavy weapons to barracks, while in the west, in Tripoli Today everything was calmer than yesterday, but it is sure that something is coming very soon. France 24
also gives much attention to Italy, and made it known that it is still an ongoing emergency meeting at Palazzo Chigi with Frattini and more. He says that, in the famous phone call, the only one Western leader, Berlusconi has asked Gaddafi to end the violence and he replied that everything is under control. If Italy had a normal government would have much more weight in this situation.
February 23
9:24 pm - In the confusion of conflicting reports, the impression one gets is that yesterday was less bloody the previous ones, that the voices that speak a thousand deaths are unfounded and that the total number of victims has remained around three hundred, maybe five hundred at most. Not a few, sure, but it was feared the worst. A few minutes ago a phone call directly from Benghazi Al Jazeera confirmed that there is calm in that city, where the government has lost control of the insurgents are forming committees to manage the emergency. In Tripoli, but it seems that a number of supporters of Gaddafi has responded to his call last night to take to the road and that his threats have put some fear in his opponents, but do not get clear information about what is going on today for roads.
Last night, the press at the end of the UN Security Council limited itself to condemn the use of force against the demonstrators.
