Thought this deserves a thread of its own as we have not seen anything like this since the break up of the Soviet Union..in fact it is probably even bigger.

From Ibaghdadi a few minutes ago:

It's all over. Gaddafi's regime is drawing its last breaths. News that Gaddafi's heading towards Venezuela and that one of his sons (Moutassim) has shot his other son (Saif).

All of Libya except for parts of Tripoli and his hometown of Sirt are out of his control.

This is 24 hours max.
Hopefully Chavez has enough integrity to clap the dictator in irons.
GO GO GO LIBYA

TRIPOLI - The leader of the Al-Zuwayya tribe in eastern Libya threatened on Sunday to cut oil exports to Western countries within 24 hours unless authorities stop what he called the "oppression of protesters".

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Shaikh Faraj al Zuway said: "We will stop oil exports to Western countries within 24 hours" if the violence did not stop.

It is unravelling as we speak...I'm following ibaghdadi on twitter and others.
More from Ibagdhadi via twitter:


Caller from #Tripoli on Aljazeera: Most regime security & police points in the capital have been torched

One of the reasons we are not hearing as much is that there is a clampdown on international journalists and they were messing with the net also. But good old Al Jazeera is managing to get good cell phone footage and messages. CNN is doing quite well also.

Just read on Twitter that the Venezuela government is denying that Gaddafi is on the way there.



RT @Dima_Khatib Venezuelan government sources deny that Gaddafi is on his way to Venezuela. #libya #feb17

His son is giving a speech now. 'There is a threat to Libya.' It's 'divide and conquer'.There's going to be a lot of blood I'm afraid.

in the early A.D 200s septimius severus's sons
did not rule jointly for long. if chavez has extended

the hesitancies of an interum regime or we are

If they become a democracy, their new government won't stand very long till it fails again.

Libyan tweet:
BREAKING NEWS: rumours that Gaddafi family members are attempting to kill each other, Mutassim shot Saif
Libyans are backtracking on the rumour Gaddafi has left now. A Libyan diplomat posted in Beijing was responsible for that one.
Libyans ares saying it is a ploy to get the streets empty..but that didn't work in Egypt, so i don't quite follow the logic there.

"There's going to be a bloodbath'' in Tripoli..
Reports of snipers; busloads of hired mercenaries...and renewed reports he is on his way to Venezuala or Brazil. They say the Saif speech was a decoy away from the killing in Tripoli. Supermarkets caught on fire by pro-government agitators.

For Libyan & other Arabs reaction to the little clown's speech, just search for #According2Saif on Twitter.

Samples:

#according2saif Libya is not Tunisia or Egypt, but Egypt is Algeria is not Morocco is sometimes Italy on Friday. Everyone knows this.
#According2Saif Sarah Palin CAN see Russia from her window
#According2Saif , Jesus "had it coming"
#according2saif if #gaddafi leaves, he will not publish the #bungabunga parties HOW-TO.
#According2saif If you eat a Blackberry, you'll definitely turn into Superman.

It seems to be taking a turn for the worse in Tripoli. Reports of armed pro-Gaddafi people going to hospitals to finish off the wounded. Could be propaganda to scare people. Hard to know what is going on and who is a reliable source.

And that's the way it works. First the media and communications is blacked out, then comes the murder of civilians and then the cover up and denial. Seems like the despots all have the same book.
