    In the end, you can see the great celebration in Tripoli.

    The rebels took Tripoli and the battles there are finally over
    They (the rebels) are advancing now upon one of the last loyalist strongholds which is called Sirte
    Sirte is Gaddafi's home town

    The rebels are giving them until next Saturday to surrender before they launch an assault on the city.

    I hope the blacks evacuate to Egypt or Chat because the rebels will not let them see the light of day once they roll in.

    Not to mention siege was outlawed by the Geneva convention of warfare of which Europe and NATO are big advocates of. So how does this make sense again?

    Well I'm pretty sure they would have fled by now. Also even if they are the mercs will be arrested and the workers set free.

    What? The mercs were operating in Sub-Saharan Africa and never in Libya, this is something the news had you believe. Mercenaries do not operate within the country hiring them yet abroad, most are in Sierre Leone and Liberia. Most of the Blacks being killed by the rebels are Chadian and Mauritian migrant workers who moved to Libya in the 70s.

    The Sallum Plateau of Egypt has seen an increase of these fugitives, near the Mersa Matruh area.

    Its a minority of the rebels that were committing acts of genocide. Just like it was probably a minority of the loyalist forces committing acts of terrorism and violations of human rights.

    The problem was that not once was the rebels killing of Blacks brought to Western media and because of that people are likely not hear it as much hence why I pointed it out.

    No they are finding evidence of them people in Tripoli said they have seen black soldiers and they found passports form Chad and other countries inside military tents and other military facilities.

    Well in this case all a rebel has to do is shoot in the general direction and he goes down.

    If Gadaffi fights, like that picture describes, then those rebels are already dead.

    They'd obviously have to praise him for his excellent timing, and then get aragorn, so that they can do the whole return of the king battle, against the other rebels. Just, instead of horses and bows, theres tanks and automatic machine guns.
