Regarding the issue of ethnic cleansing in Sirte: I just checked this map of ethnic groups in Libya. Sirte is not actually marked on the map, but the general area is smack-dab in the middle of the Arab/Arab-Berber areas. Most people talking about ethnic cleansing are more concerned about black Libyans, which the Berbers and Arabs obviously look different from.

I have no doubt that there will be lootings and probably some revenge killings after the battle. However, those killings will most likely be politically, rather than ethnically, motivated killings.

BTW, can someone tell me if it counts as ethnic cleansing if a portion of an ethnic group is killed based on their political beliefs and not their race?

No, it's simply political repression. But Berbers were persecuted anyway because of their race. This happened across all of North Africa, although their rights have largely been returned in Algeria and Morocco. Berber rights in Libya were non existent until the NTC.

Oh for fuck's sake, will the loyalists in Sirte just give up already? They're cornered, isolated, running low on supplies, and they have nowhere else to go with the capture of Bani Walid. It would be better to surrender and have a chance of survival than to keep on fighting and almost certainly get annihilated.

They're gonna go below the streets of Sirte, to join Gaddafi's water mutants in a secret underground sewer city called Squirte. Someone tell the rebels.

On a more serious note, I've got a few interesting articles to share. The first two are old, but they serve to illustrate that the lives of the infamous "Amazonian Guards", Gaddafi's eccentric all-female bodyguard force, were not the ones of glitz and glamour peddled by Gaddafi's propaganda stunts. I know that many of us here have at some point or another made funny quips in this thread about what fun it would be to have our own Amazon bodyguards. However, these articles are quite sobering on the matter, and show that these "Amazons" actually lived quite traumatic and horrifying lives.

More recently, I also found an interesting article in, of all places, the New York Times online about a new wave of young anti-Gaddafi college students as well as professors, including a new dean dispatched by the NTC, cleaning up and reinventing the University of Tripoli, trying to undo all the brainwashing done by the Gaddafi regime.

One thing in there that really creeped me out was that near the former "Green Hall", where Gaddafi visited and gave propaganda lectures, Gaddafi had his own secret bedroom suite on campus, with a queen bed, a hot tub, and a... gynecological examining table. :?

Apparently the reptilian shapeshifters that all the conspiracy theorists love are now on the side of the "good guys". Nice.

I always knew Daffi had more uses for the bodyguards than defense.

Edit: And apparently he raped several female students. Well, those sluts obviously deserved it, since they were pig-dog whores from the West seeking to undermine the commander of the Third World struggle against the imperialistic jaywalker revisionistic First World. :roll:

I'd rather a payment scheme be created to slowly release all the assets of the Former Gaddafi regime once stabilization has occurred. All that money is just asking for corruption.

no worries, plus if were having such a bad economic time why do we send aid at all, you think when a nation is having trouble it should help itself get better before helping others.

NOTICE TO ALL: THIS WHOLE POST IS A HUGE JOKE. DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AT ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

Comrades, I return with more evidence of NTC ethnic cleansing, imperialist plots to take over Libya, and NATO's INSIDIOUS plot of destroying all the Gaddafi supporters, so no one will stand opposed to their puppet regime when it takes power! Behold and be amazed! URAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Image

I will start with NTC ethnic cleansing. My account was taken over by an imperialist propagandist who posted this, alleging that the NTC would not commit atrocities in Sirte. Of course, he's a propagandist, so don't listen to him. I have regained control of my account, just like the Brotherly Leader will regain control over Libya. Do not worry comrades! My agenda is to show the truth and nothing but the truth. In any case, Pravda has came out with indisputable proof of NTC ethnic cleansing. Of course, the imperialist pig-dog stooges will not listen, because they have been wrapped up in their lies and trickery for so long. But I will go on nonetheless!

Image

Despite what the imperialist paid pig-dog stooge Laerod may have told you, the Leading Light Communists have no agenda but the truth. Thus, the article I linked to contains nothing but the truth. Why would the LLCO lie? They never lie. In addition, this article proves the weakness of the imperialist pig-dog National Transitional Council (<<<<<< RATS) without help from the imperialist NATO alliance. When NATO leaves, it will only be a matter of time before our Brotherly Leader retakes power and crushes the RATS and imperialists from Libya, and establishes freedom and democracy for all. Despair, imperialists!

And it will not stop there. The green fire will first consume Libya, but it will spread! It will spread to all of Africa, uniting it under the green flag of justice and democracy! It will then spread to Asia, and then Europe! And then? It will spread to the UNITED STATES, and FREE its population from the imperialistic dictatorship which has controlled it for 235 years.

GLORY!!!!!!!
