But he really has changed the world I've always wanted a walk-on part in a Hollywood movie, but I don't suppose Steven Spielberg will indulge me. The mogul has bought the film rights to two recent books critical of Julian Assange, both of which provide racy accounts of the difficult relationship between the WikiLeaks founde

2011年リビア内戦(2011ねんリビアないせん)は、リビアにおいて2011年に起こった政治社会的要求を掲げた反政府デモを発端とする大リビア・アラブ社会主義人民ジャマーヒリーヤ国とリビア国民評議会などの反政府勢力の間で勃発した内戦である。アラブ圏に於いては「2月17日革命」(ثورة 17 فبراير)と呼ばれる。 2月15日に開始され、同年8月に首都トリポリが北大西洋条約機構軍の支援を受けた反体制派のリビア国民評議会の攻勢によって陥落し、事実上の最高権力者として40年以上政権の座にあったムアンマル・アル=カダフィ(以下カダフィ大佐)革命指導者が率いる大リビア・アラブ社会主義人民ジャマーヒリーヤ国は事実上崩壊した。その後もカダフィ大佐は抗戦を続けたが10月20日に最後の拠点スルトで身柄を拘束され、その際に受けた攻撃でカダフィ大佐は死亡した[8][9]。10月23日に国民評議会によりリビア

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi comes to the Libyan People's Congress in an electric golf cart. His entourage, who box him in, arrive in half a dozen four-wheel drives. As he is mobbed by journalists on entering the hall, it takes his security detail 10 minutes to clear the platform. He stands in a brown turban and a long, white cloak to listen to the delegates' applause and chants of support. Sometimes h
I feel obliged to dip into books which have been given to me as a present. "In need freedom is latent . . ." Late at night in Tripoli in 1984 I found Colonel Gaddafi's Green Book hard going. He'd signed the book that morning, in revolutionary green ink of course, a curious V-shape, as if an inky fly had slid down the page and staggered back up. He'd also given me a Qur'an and wished me Happy Chris

CAIRO — The former president of Egypt was not the statue-building kind, or else we’d have already seen a few Baghdad-like images of marble icons being brought down by jubilant masses after his abdication on February 11. (Come to think of it, I wish we had a few statues to bring d
In the 1990s, one could only whisper Hosni Mubarak's name. Political talk or jokes were avoided in phone calls. This year, millions of Egyptians fought for 18 days against their ageing tyrant, braving the police troops firing teargas, rubber bullets and live ammunition.
