Listen – Libya: The curse of the militias

Mohamed El-Doufani* writes: Libyan activist and popular rapper Assem Mihirig shares with us a deeply insightful analysis, derived from direct experience, of the workings and power of the militias blighting Libya and the thinking of their leaders, and offers a view of how they can be dealt with.  They were hailed as heroes while they were fighting Muammar Gaddafi’s forces in 2011. But not all was as it seemed.  From the outset Gaddafi had blamed the Islamists for the protests against his regime. Although he was right, by that time he had become an embarrassing eccentric and the butt of jokes the world over, and few people took him seriously. The first foreign voice to raise the alarm was Admiral James Stavridis, the American commander of NATO, who in March 20...

Listen – Libya in chaos: What prospects are there for peace, democracy and stability?

Mohamed El-Doufani* writes: Libyan diplomat and writer Giuma Bukleb looks at how the legacy of chaos and the political vacuum seeded by the regime of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, coupled with Libya’s geostrategic location and its oil wealth, turned the country into “a battleground for competing local and foreign interests” and “led to the emergence of new opportunistic political elites lacking the necessary qualifications and tools, helped by militias”. “The way out,” he argues, “is not impossible if the international community paid Libya the necessary attention and provided the desperately needed help, by forcing the competing foreign interests to withdraw, and by disarming the militias.” [Introduction by Mohamed El-Doufni, episode host:] Few people expected...

From Korea to Libya: On the Future of Ukraine and NATO’s Neverending Wars

BY RAMZY BAROUD Photograph Source: Antti T. Nissinen – CC BY 2.0 Much has been said and written about media bias and double standards in the West’s response to the Russia-Ukraine war, when compared with other wars and military conflicts across the world, especially in the Middle East and the Global South. Less obvious is how such hypocrisy is a reflection of a much larger phenomenon that governs the West’s relationship to war and conflict zones. On March 19, Iraq commemorated the 19th anniversary of the US invasion which killed, according to modest estimates, over a million Iraqis. The consequences of that war were equally devastating as it destabilized the entire Middle East region, leading to various civil and proxy wars. The Arab world is reeling under ...

Yamashita’s Gold and the CIA

By VT Unnamed VT personnel had direct involvement in some of what is discussed here.  Watch the entire video. Do take note of the story about Edwin Wilson and his “green berets” who trained Libyan terrorists. This was, in fact, the deployment of Vietnam’s ‘Phoenix’ personnel as part of Gladio, the Freemason/Nazi terror group the CIA employed/employs to terrorize Europe and coordinate al Qaeda and ISIS.  Watch the video: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/umJHvEYjj2U/hqdefault.jpg During World War II, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito directed the looting of the national treasures in 13 nations his army had conquered.

History: Gaddafi Wife Safiya, daughter Aisha and two sons Mohammed and Hannibal in Algeria

Daughter Aisha with mother Safiya Gaddafi The Algerian government has notified the United Nations and the Libyan interim government (NTC) that Gaddafi’s wife Safiya, his daughter Aisha and his two sons Mohammed and Hannibal fled into Algeria. None of the escaping family members have ICC arrest warrants issued on them, but they are all under ICC travel ban and supposedly must be stopped at the border and refused entry. Algeria did not sign the Rome Agreement recognizing the authority of the International Criminal Court. Safiya with her husband Muammar Gaddaf Algeria will allow the Gaddafi family members to transit on their way to a third country. Their final destination is not yet known. According to the Algerian official, they wer...

Gaddafi’s wife Safiya

Saif Al Islam Muammar Gaddafi Muammar Gaddafi has been married twice. His first wife Fathia Khaled was a schoolteacher. It seems to have been a traditional Libyan marriage, arranged by their families, as it’s reported that they never met until the wedding. The marriage didn’t last long. They separated after six months, but not before Fathia was pregnant with Muhammad al-Gaddafi, Gaddafi’s oldest son. Safiya Farkas (Kash) Gaddafi is his second and present wife and the mother of six sons and one daughter – all by Gaddafi. They also have one adopted son and one adopted daughter who was killed in the American bombstrike on the family compound. Safiya is reported to be from the Benghazi area, from a “prominent tribe” Can’t seem to find out which one that is. I have ha...
