  • LIBYA CONFLICT: SITUATION UPDATE March 2011
    Pro-Qaddafi Movements and Statements LIBYA CONFLICT: SITUATION UPDATE March 2011 MARCH 31: Pro-Qaddafi forces repelled a counterattack by rebels at the town of Brega. According to one report, the pro- government forces have adopted the rebel tactic of using weapon mounted pickup trucks so as to be less vulnerable to coalition airstrikes. Rebel spokesman Mustafa Gheriania stated that despite the shift in tactics, Qaddafi remains reliant on his tanks and artillery. (Guardian) MARCH 31: Government spokesman Musa Ibrahim rejected rumors that Qaddafi and his sons had fled Libya, stating that “We are still here. We will remain here until the end.” (New York Times) MARCH 31: Ali Abdussalam Treki, appointed by Qaddafi as Libya’s permanent representative to the UN, refused to accept the post, condemning the “spilling of blood” in a statement read by his nephew. (Reuters) MARCH 31: Arriving Wednesday evening in London, Libyan foreign minister Musa Kusa announced his resignation and defection from the Qaddafi regime. British Foreign Secretary William Hague cited Kusa’s defection as evidence that Qaddafi’s rule is “under pressure and crumbling from within.” Kusa is the latest senior Libyan official to have broken ranks with the Qaddafi regime. (Washington Post) MARCH 31: Calling from Misrata, rebel spokesman Sami reported that pro-Qaddafi forces resumed “artillery bombardment this morning. The pro-Qaddafi forces could not enter the town but they are surrounding it.” Reuter( s) MARCH 30: Pro-Qaddafi forces, under the cover of heavy tank and artillery fire, retook the town of Brega, forcing a rebel retreat towards Ajdabiya. (Guardian) MARCH 30: Human Rights Watch issued a statement from Benghazi asserting that pro-Qaddafi forces are laying landmines in their campaign to seize control of the country.

  • Political Progress in Libya?
    Political progress in Libya? Standard Note: SNIA/6582 Last updated: 10 June 2013 Author: Ben Smith Section International Affairs and Defence Section After an election in July 2012 that pleased many observers by being peaceful and largely free and fair, Libya’s progress has been slow. The interim parliament, the General National Congress, finally agreed in February 2013 on the procedure for the election of a Constituent Assembly, charged with drawing up a constitution and presenting it to the electorate for approval at a referendum. The election to the Constituent Assembly should be held some time this year. However, security problems are mounting: the official security services are still ineffectual and the void has been filled by armed militias and gangs. Grievances that built up during the dictatorship and the revolution are not being resolved and ethnic, regional and local conflicts could threaten the integrity of the country. For more detail on the outcome of the 2012 election, see the Standard Note Libya’s General Assembly election 2012, July 2012 Contents 1 Political situation 2 1.1 The Qaddafis 3 1.2 Constituent Assembly 3 2 Security 4 2.1 Bani Walid 4 2.2 Benghazi 5 2.3 NATO assistance 6 3 Christians 6 4 Migrants 6 5 The south 7 6 Economy 8 7 Refugees and the UK 8 1 Political situation Libya’s political progress since the fall of Muammar Qaddafi has been mixed. On the positive side, both local and national elections have been held with little violence. Voters surprised some observers by not following the example of neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt and electing Muslim Brotherhood supporters but electing broadly secular representatives.

  • Crisis Committee
    CRISIS COMMITTEE Lyon Model United Nations 2018 Study Guide Libyan Civil War !1 LyonMUN 2018 – Libyan Civil War Director: Thomas Ron Deputy Director: Malte Westphal Chairs: Laurence Turner and Carine Karaki Backroom: Ben Bolton, Camille Saikali, Margaux Da Silva, and Antoine Gaudim !2 Director’s Welcome Dear Delegates, On behalf of the whole team I would like to welcome you to LyonMUN 2018 and this simulation of the Libyan Civil War. It is strange to feel that such an important topic that we all remember happening is already over 7 years old. Therefore, we felt it would be a good time to simulate it and think about the ways it could have gone. As delegates you will each be given characters to play in this crisis. These were real people who made a difference within the actual Civil War and have their own objectives and goals. You are tasked with advancing the goals of your character and making sure that they end up doing well out of this crisis. Every action will have consequences, everything you do will have ramifications, and mistakes can be deadly. Your chairs will be there to help but they will also be representing characters and have their own interests, meaning they may not be fully trustworthy. Behind the scenes you will have a backroom which will interpret your directives and move the plot forward. We will be there to read what you say and put it into action. However, a word to the wise, the way your wish may be interpreted may not be ideal.

  • Discussion Guide
    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Point and Shoot A Film by Marshall Curry www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKER Three years ago, I got an email out of the blue from a young guy named Matt VanDyke. He introduced himself, said he had seen my films and told me he had recently returned from Libya, where he had been helping rebels overthrow dictator Muammar Gaddafi. He said he had over 100 hours of footage from the ex- perience and thought it would make a great documentary. I was intrigued, but explained that I only worked on projects where I had complete creative independence and control, and he said he understood. A few weeks later he came to New York and spent an afternoon telling his story to my producing partner, Elizabeth Martin (who is also my wife), and me. Matt was a fascinating person, provocative and hard to pin down. His story was rich with questions about how we become adults, about adventure and idealism and about the nature of war in the “age of the selfie.” After he left, my wife and I talked for hours about his story and the issues it had raised. Generating those kinds of discussions is the reason I make doc- umentaries. So we thought, “Let’s make a film that replicates the experience we just had, where the audience sits down with a stranger and hears an amazing, controversial story—and then walks out of the theater to grapple with it.” When I was younger I used to love hitchhiking because it brought me in touch with people whom I would otherwise never meet—people whose lives and world-views were completely dif- ferent from mine.

  • NATO’S Deceitful Libya War of Aggression: Its Meaning for Africa
    NATO’s Deceitful Libya War of Aggression: Its Meaning for Africa How will history judge the West’s imperial interference By Colin Benjamin Region: sub-Saharan Africa Global Research, September 01, 2011 Theme: US NATO War Agenda Black Star News 1 September 2011 In-depth Report: NATO'S WAR ON LIBYA Since last week, Western leaders, NATO — and their friends in the puppet propaganda press, sometimes referred to as “mainstream” media—have been celebrating the usurpation of Libya into the hands of the armed insurrectionist “rebels.” But how will history judge the West’s imperial interference, in Libya, and what does this awful episode portend for other African countries? Last week, the Benghazi “rebels” advanced into Tripoli, their path paved by NATO’s bombardment of Libya’s military installations and even civilian facilities. With much of the Libyan political infrastructure now in the hands of the “rebels,” Western leaders have been gloating about their imperial intervention in toppling Colonel Muammar Quathafi’s government. Mr. Quathafi remains at large; with a million-dollar bounty on his head. Several members of the Quathafi family are now said to be in Algeria, including his wife, Safiya, daughter Aisha, and two of his sons, Mohammed and Hannibal. Many have interpreted this development as proof of Quathafi’s capitulation. Yet, Quathafi spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim has warned “We will turn Libya into a volcano of lava and fire under the feet of the invaders and their treacherous agents.” His son Seif al- Islam has also broadcast a message saying loyalists will continue to fight. Rumors are swirling around the whereabouts of the colonel.

Gaddafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year-old son, Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, when it was hit by at least one missile fired by a NATO warplane late on Saturday, Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Sunday. Al-Arab's compound in Tripoli’s Garghour neighbourhood was attacked "with full power" in a "direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country," Ibrahim said, calling the strike a violation of international law. "What we have now is the law of the jungle," he told a news conference. "We think now it is clear to everyone that what is happening in Libya has nothing to do with the protection of civilians." Ibrahim had earlier taken journalists to the remnants of a house in Tripoli, which Libyan officials said had been hit by at least three missiles. Given the level of destruction, it is unclear that anyone could have survived. No NATO confirmation Three loud explosions were heard in Tripoli on Saturday evening as jets flew overhead.
