The dream that began in Tunisia and Egypt has turned in to a nightmare in Libya. Hundreds are feared dead in a brutal crackdown ordered by Colonel Gadhafi. Given the rapprochement between Libya’s firebrand leader and the west in recent years, is it now time for the international community to intervene and protect the Libyan people from Gadhafi’s wrath?

Merkel's next move: Will Germany stick to its guns on austerity?

François Hollande steals the show at his first late-night EU summit but the ball remains firmly in Angela Merkel’s court. Her constituents remain torn between paying for pain they don’t (yet) feel and shouldering the blame for an eventual collapse of the euro.

What's the deal in Mali? (part 2)

Is Mali’s freshly-signed agreement to restore democracy in doubt? Malians express shock after the beating of their interim president by supporters of the junta that could have been stopped, say François Picard’s guests.

Revolt in Liyba - time to intervene

by Ashie Hirji - 01/03/2011 - 11:38

When it comes to innocent civilians, children, hmanity and when lives are in danger, the global community have a right to voice and citizens have a right to ask for HELP from international communities....we humanity cannot do much - throu...gh social sites ask for help to support innocent ciivilians who are asking for help...

Come on lets all wake up no matter what colour or race people are struggling.

We are all talking about a man, who is a MAD DOG running Libya, THE United Nation has to intervene, When it comes to "genocide" the International Gov will have to intervene be it for OIL or whatever, and the UN has to now Intervene..
There are massive crimes being committed by this insane MAN...

The young people want demcracy, are asking for this in Liyba. They are crying for help now and they will not stop.

What ever people say be it for OIL or what ever it is -
people in LIBYA want help - and if you put young people in power they will run Libya -ultimately, get rid of all these old farts, and some of them use the name of GOD ... they are destroying people's lives.

GOD is not coming down to solve all these problems, we have been given some intelligence as humans to live in peace, we should make some intelligent choices in life- to solve these global chaos. Liyba has enough OIL to help people in Libya.
Libya will survive - like many other countries..@mymulticast

A big Thank To UN

Thank UN for the sanctions to send Gadhafi at the international war crime tribunal, That is the best we can do to stop la folie sanguinaire of a dictator, that is also the best lesson for others Dictators they have to think more befor to make the same.
