The revolution belongs to all Libyans, secular or not | Abdel Hakim Belhaj
It was 20 years ago that I left my hometown, Tripoli, in search of refuge. Colonel Gaddafi's security apparatus had the country in an iron grip; the eyes of its agents were everywhere. No one was safe. I have lived in many countries since, dedicating all my efforts to one objective: the overthrow of the dictatorship in order to bring about real change in our country. A change that would guarantee
Tony Blair faces calls for greater transparency over Middle East role
Tony Blair is facing calls for greater transparency in his role as Middle East peace envoy after it emerged that he visited Muammar Gaddafi in 2009 while JP Morgan, the investment bank that employs Blair as a £2m-a-year adviser, sought to negotiate a multibillion-pound loan from Libya. Blair also championed two large business deals in the West Bank and Gaza involving telecoms and gas extraction wh
Libyan government seeks Algerian answers over cross-border attack
The provisional government in Tripoli will ask Algeria to explain how pro-Gaddafi forces crossed the border to attack its forces on Saturday, the Libyan army chief spokesman has said. Eight were killed in the attack near Ghadames. Algeria announced last week that it recognised the authority of the National Transitional Council (NTC) in Tripoli, but suspicions linger about its attitude, not least b
Libya: The Losers | Max Rodenbeck
The truly strange thing in your lives is that you not only fail, but fail to learn your lesson…. No matter how much your beliefs betray you, this is never accepted by you. You are distinguished by your inability to recognize the truth, no matter how irrefutable. —Muammar Qaddafi, Escape to Hell, and Other Stories* Compared to the office of his intelligence counterpart in Cairo, a luxury suite feat
Libyan rebels discover Gaddafi's chemical weapons
Libyan rebel forces claim to have discovered banned chemical weapons stockpiles in southern desert areas captured from Gaddafi loyalists in the last few days. Spokesmen for the National Transitional Council (NTC) said a depot had been found in the Jufra area, 435 miles (700km) south of Tripoli, during part of an offensive against regime strongholds in the remote south of the country. The rebels al
Patience, please
Patience, pleaseThe new authorities are trying to lower people’s expectations FOR the first time in months it was neither bombs nor gunfire that cracked Tripoli's humid night sky. It was fireworks, popping in starbursts, to welcome Mustafa Abdul Jalil, head of Libya's interim government, to the Libyan capital's freshly renamed Martyrs' Square. The frail-looking former justice minister under Muamma
Libya conflict: Black African migrants caught in backlash
Hundreds of African migrant workers in Libya have been imprisoned by fighters allied to the new interim authorities, accused of being mercenaries for Col Muammar Gaddafi, and there are claims that homes have been looted, and women and girls beaten and raped, as the BBC's Ian Pannell reports. It was a visit the Nigerian family had been dreading. They had been hiding in their tiny slum home in a Tri
Libya conflict: NTC forces driven back from Bani Walid
Shortly after entering Bani Walid, NTC forces were hit by sniper fire, mortar attacks and rocket barrages as they tried to advance on the city centre. "We have received orders to retreat. We have been hit by many rockets. We will come back later," Assad al-Hamuri, a fighter, told Reuters as forces began their withdrawal. Correspondents said that not for the first time, anti-Gaddafi forces appeared
Rory Stewart · Because we weren’t there? In Tripoli
Entering Libya four days after the fall of Tripoli did not seem, at first, very different from trips I had made to Kosovo, Baghdad and Kabul shortly after those interventions. There were as yet no formalities, still less visas, at the Libyan border.
