Gaddafi isolated, the UN approves sanctions was born in Benghazi, the transitional government

"Stay in my country. The riot is the fault of the foreigners and Al Qaeda." Does not seem to go back one step Muammar Gaddafi, after a day in which his regime has in fact been abandoned by all Western governments and leaders of the rebellion have created an alternative government based in Benghazi. Tripoli does not bend.

Qaddafi continues to incite a revolt and to encourage its supporters. The brigades loyal to Muammar Gaddafi in Sirte these have direct overland to Misurata, fall in recent days in rebel hands. And some supporters of the Colonel marched along the road leading towards the town of al-Zawiyah Surman, in western Libya.

According to reports from the tv 'al-Arabiya' were several hundred people who took part in the march. State TV has invited citizens to travel to the nearest branch of the Central Bank to withdraw the subsidy of 500 (290 €) dinars, promised in recent days by the regime. In a message appeared on TV screens in Tripoli stating that the "as of today the bank branches will be open to distribute the aid promised to each family in the country.

You can go directly to the bank and the doors will stay open until at 20" . The Libyan authorities have sent SMS to the local population to invite them to withdraw the subsidy. And they foramte long queues at counters. In recent days, the regime had also promised to increase salaries by 150 percent.

In the evening, the Serbian TV has released the transcript of an interview in which Gaddafi insists they do not want to leave Libya and is shifting the responsibility of the revolt on Al Qaeda and "foreigners." In Benghazi was born the "National Council". The committees that manage Benghazi still unstable after the liberation, have settled in the City Court and announced the creation of a National Council, which will coordinate the activities of insurgent groups and govern the areas vacated by the Libyan regime of Muammar Gaddafi.

The promoters have stated that "it is not a provisional government and that the proposal was launched yesterday by former justice minister, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, only that Gaddafi is responsible for the crimes, it is only his personal idea." The National Council "transition" is the city falls into the hands of 'guerrilla' in Libya.

Coalition spokesman Abdel Hafiz revolutionary February 17 Ghoqa added that consultations continue with regard to the composition and function of the new organ. "This is not a transitional government but of a National Council, based in Benghazi, Tripoli has not been freed because" he said Ghoqa not yet know who will be the president or by how many members will consist of the Council but which will include representatives of all cities.

What is certain is that the new government will not ask the help of foreigners. Opponents of the regime of Gaddafi in Benghazi are against any foreign intervention in Libya and said they do not have contact with governments of other countries. UN approves sanctions. In New York the UN Security Council approved unanimously in the night a resolution calling for the freezing of assets of the Colonel, eight of her children, two cousins and eleven members of the regime in Tripoli, 22 in all.

The document requires the 192 countries that are part of the United Nations to "freeze without delay all funds, financial assets and economic resources of these individuals." In addition to the embargo on arms supplies, the draft provides for a referral to the Hague International Criminal Court, jurisdiction to try war crimes against humanity.

According to the Fifteen, in addition to Gaddafi, dell'eccidio primarily responsible for acting as "commander of the Armed Forces, are also affected two of his cousins, Mohammed Ahmed al-Ghedaf Daf, author of" operation against Libyan dissidents abroad, and implicated directly in terrorist activities, "and al-Sayyid Mohammed Ghedaf Daf," involved in a campaign of assassinations of dissidents and probably a series of killings around Europe.

" Targeted the head of the Armed Forces, Colonel Masud Abdulhafiz, the Defence Minister, General Abu Bakr Yunis, the head of counterterrorism, Abdussalam Mohammed Abdussalam, and other top intelligence and revolutionary committees. Finally, as indicated by the U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, the resolution refers to Article 7 of the UN Charter, which does not preclude an international intervention if necessary.

Clinton: "The U.S. is helping the opposition." The U.S. president Barack Obama has officially asked the Colonel to leave power "for the good of his country." White House, National Headquarters and the European Union have joined forces so to prevent a civil war in Tripoli irrepressible, made the first ring of fire around the Libyan dictator, isolating it in an attempt to reason with him.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, spoke briefly: "Gaddafi should go away without further bloodshed and other violence. The Libyan people have explained clearly what he thinks of his government." But the civil war going on in a ruthless manner. Alongside the militia of Colonel, there are also groups of mercenaries, mostly from Central African countries, who reap the terror raid house to house.

Frattini has denied the presence of Italian mercenaries, "It 'a false and outrageous, is not apparent to observers, nor to our intelligence, nor the journalists." Despite the suspension of the Treaty between Italy and Libya is still premature to speak of the use of Italian bases, if the international community decides to launch operations in the North African country, such as the imposition of a no-fly zone "will be the UN Security Council to decide .

Italy has done for the crisis in the Balkans, and it was right to do so, "said the minister believed" that those who today calls for freedom in Libya does not accept the solidarity of Al Qaeda. The Libyan people will freely choose the their future and we can only help from outside, but I do not think that the Libyans will be oriented towards radical Islam.

" The exodus continues. Were "almost 100 thousand" people, especially foreign migrants, who fled from Libya in the neighboring countries last week. The estimate is UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The team set up by the UN agency is working closely with the Tunisian authorities and the Egyptian and non-governmental organizations to help out.

According to UNHCR estimates, it is primarily Egyptians and Tunisians. The Red Crescent had earlier reported that only on Saturday has been more than 10 thousand people at the border crossing at Ras Jedir, between Libya and Tunisia, and had called the situation a "humanitarian crisis" that must cope with because the flow is growing.

The domino effect triggered by Egypt, where the Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa has announced his intention to run for president, does not stop. Libya today after it was burned down the palace of the government and the police station in Sohar, Oman. Two demonstrators were killed by the police.

Many were injured by rubber bullets fired to disperse the crowd. In Yemen, President Ali Abdallah Saleh, challenged by protestors since last Jan. 27 to ask him to relinquish power, has declared his intention to defend "the republican regime" until "the last drop of blood." Several hundred protesters took to the streets today in Beirut against the confessional system in Lebanon after the call to protest launched on Facebook by groups of young people.

"The revolution is everywhere. Lebanon, now it's your turn!" Chanted the demonstrators. In Tunisia, the Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi El announced in a televised speech, his resignation. "I resign to serve Tunisia, the revolution and the future of Tunisia. I'm not a man of repression and never will be, "he said He added," I'm not the person who takes any kind of decision that leads to bloodshed.

And do not run away from my responsibilities but I want to open the way for the new prime minister, I hope that you find a prime minister as they should, "said Ghannouchi.
