Defections undermine the Libyan regime officials

Deep cracks appeared in the regime of Moammar Gadhafi Libyan officials to resign in the country and abroad, deserting Air Force pilots and ignite a government building after clashes in Tripoli. Protesters urged to defy the leader of the Arab world with more time in office despite the intense repression imposed by the security forces.

Gadhafi was forced to appear on state television for less than a minute to quell rumors that his flight to Libya. "I'm here to show that I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela. Do not believe these stations bitches who cheat. " Gadhafi lost the support of at least one of the major tribes, several military units and their own diplomats, including the delegation to the United Nations.

The deputy ambassador to the UN, Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libyan leader accused of committing genocide against its own people in the current crisis and made the request to the international body to address the issue, to which the Security Council responded with a special meeting to address the crisis situation today.

Libyan Justice Minister, Mustafa Abdeljalil, resigned in protest at the "bloody situation" of his country. There were also reports that foreign ambassadors were deserting the Government. Former Libyan Ambassador to the Arab League in Cairo, Abdel-Moneim al-Huni, who resigned to make common cause with the protesters demanded that Gadhafi, his commanders and his aides be tried by "the mass killings in Libya.

" A Libyan diplomat in China, Hussein el-Sadek el-Mesrati, said: "I've given to represent the Government of Mussolini and Hitler." The pilots of two aircraft of the Air Force Mirage fled a Libyan air base and landed on the nearby island of Malta, where he requested political asylum. The Government of Mexico reported that there are no reported incidents directly affecting Mexicans living in Libya.

No exact figure, Foreign Ministry sources currently few Mexicans living in that country and countrymen are mostly employees or employees of companies or private companies are based in that country. Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), the Mexican government expressed its concern over developments and condemned the violence.

The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, said he spoke by phone with Libyan leader to express his solidarity and confidence that goes beyond the institutional crisis that is shaking the country. The first historical mentions of this relatively new country Libyans refer to warriors as mercenaries hired by the Ancient Egypt in the first millennium BC on the African coast of the Mediterranean, Libya today.

The territory of modern Libya has separate histories until Roman times, as Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, both on the coast. The interior of the present Libya was in the hands of Berber tribes settled in the oasis. This coastal strip also was visited by Greeks and Phoenicians, and later dominated by empires Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Arab.

The Phoenicians settled in the western cities. Around the year 642, the area fell under Arab rule and joined with a more or less close, the Ottoman Empire (sixteenth century). In the following centuries, almost all of the inhabitants of the area converted to Islam. The language and Arab culture erased the Christian Roman culture and almost the Berber language, mainly in Tripolitania, historic region of western Libya, centered in the coastal city of Tripoli, the capital of the country.

In 1912 he became an Italian colony. Until then, due to their low economic and strategic value-the Sahara Desert is a symbol of Libya-the country had escaped the voracity of the European imperialist powers, but the Italians, who wanted to create a colonial empire, no best land had to invade, to joining the geographical proximity of the territory with its own peninsula.

The Italian rule over Libya lasted until the end of World War II. At the end of the war the allies fail to agree on the future of the former Italian colony. At that time was a territory more than five times greater than Italy itself. However, the population exceeded one million inhabitants, which represented an appropriate target population for the remainder of Italy began to look for places to which to emigrate after the war.

The mistrust between the West and the Soviet Union make the UN finally decided to give independence to the country leaving it in the hands of King Idris. With the advent of Moammar Gadhafi was born a socialist government scheme known as State of the Masses, for its 6.5 million inhabitants, the majority Sunni (97%) of the Muslim religion.
