Ron, 
 
Much is said about the bravely of the Libyan people and their struggle to put an end to dictatorship, we all support them in this effort.However,there are very dirty events happening that the world is not prepared to speak about. There is  what I am now referring to as "genocide" against black Africans in that country, it is not an issue not known , but the fact is that they don’t want to talk about it.  There are lot of  Black African migrants in that country, when the trouble started I was able to speak to some  "Illegal" Gambian migrants there, they are all worried, the last time I tried (Yesterday) I could not go through, but I was informed by some one that some of our Gambian brothers are taking refuge with the Senegalese embassy.
The deep hatred that Arabs have for Black Africans is very well known and now they have all the ammunition to lunch  their attacks against poor black African migrants, calling them "Mercenaries" and the world is watching.
Take for example, Black Africans in the Libyan national army are lynched in the face of world media and it is applauded. And when Arab Libyan army personnel are captured they take them to save places and give them food and medicine and some of them are even treated as defectors. There are Black Africans in American, British etc national armies fighting wars all over the world without being referred to as "mercenaries" and thus justify their lynching when captured.
I am not sure what is the Plight of  Black African Libyans at this moment, they have suffered a lot of discrimination in that country and I have my doubts if their situation is different now.
All we know now is the number of innocent Libyans who have been murdered but we are not told of the number of black Africans who have been murdered because of the color of their skin, except those that are shown in the media lynched in day light. They need some one to speak for them.

Libye



L’opposition libyenne vise Tripoli, Kadhafi sourd aux appels des Occidentaux 

L’opposition libyenne, forte du contrôle de l’Est et de plusieurs villes de l’Ouest, se préparait à marcher sur Tripoli où le colonel Mouammar Kadhafi, sourd à la pression internationale, continuait de minimiser l’insurrection sanglante qui ébranle son régime. Au 14e jour lundi d’un mouvement de révolte sans précédent qui s’est mué en insurrection, M. Kadhafi et ses forces ne contrôlent plus que Tripoli et sa région, alors que Washington s’est dit prêt à aider les opposants qui ont créé un "Conseil national indépendant" chargé de représenter "les villes libérées".Mais alors que les appels internationaux se succèdent pour un départ de M. Kadhafi, le dernier en date venant de Londres qui lui a demandé de s’en aller "maintenant", le leader libyen est resté inflexible fustigeant les sanctions de l’ONU et assurant que la Libye était "complètement calme".Le bilan des violences restait difficile à évaluer. Le secrétaire général de l’ONU, Ban Ki-moon, a parlé d’un millier de morts. A Benghazi seule, 256 personnes ont été tuées et 2.000 blessées, selon des médecins cités par la Croix Rouge internationale. Selon un responsable de la compagnie libyenne Arabian Gulf Oil cité par le Wall Street Journal, les exportations de pétrole, interrompues depuis plusieurs jours, sont sur le point de reprendre à Tobrouk, ville de l’Est sous contrôle des insurgés.AFP.
