The social climate crisis Libya has had a branch of politics. The violent suppression of protests by the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, the NGOs claim that the death toll of over two hundred, have led the justice minister, Mustafa Abul Jalil, to resign. Although not officially confirmed, the newspaper Quryna, which belongs to a media group owned by Saif Islam, one of the dictator's sons, has taken on its website the news.
Ensure that its reporters have been in telephone contact with the Minister of Justice has explained that his resignation "to protest the excessive use of force," according to several news agencies. The threats made precisely by Saif el-Islam against the population in a televised address in which he warned of the risk of civil war if the protests continued, have not placated the wrath of protesters calling for democratic reforms in the Arab country.
The revolt in Benghazi, the second largest city, is now threatening to spread to Tripoli, a bastion of pro-Gaddafi. Several agencies report that some government buildings in the Libyan capital have been destroyed by fire this morning and that the headquarters of the television and public radio have been looted and burned by an angry mob this last night.
"The House of the People (Parliament) is in flames, the firefighters trying to extinguish the fire," said a witness quoted. Al Jazeera reports that the Libyan government headquarters and the building that houses the Ministry of Justice in Tripoli have also been torched. Meanwhile, security forces have withdrawn almost the streets of the capital, as recorded, ensuring that a police station in a neighborhood east of the capital has been attacked and burned.
While the revolt in the streets festers, the criticism against the crackdown by the regime are increasing. Mohamed Bayou, which until a month ago exercised by government spokesman, said that the use of violence to stop the revolt is a wrong decision. In a statement highlighting the early divergences within the ruling elite in Libya, Bayou has claimed Saif al-Islam Gaddafi to open a dialogue with the opposition.
"I hope you change your address and recognize the existence of an internal opposition. That opens a dialogue with them to achieve changes in the Libyan system," said this former official. 233 dead Al Gaddafi's son's speech last night was followed by shots and signs of dissatisfaction in Tripoli.
The BBC quoted witnesses recounting Tripoli this morning heavy fighting between anti-government protesters and supporters of the dictator. Human rights organizations Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are acting as spokesperson for what happens in the country under a dictatorship for 42 years.
HRW manages the only figure with a certain band of officers: 233 dead and a thousand injured. A revolt against Gaddafi seemed impossible a few days ago. Even more than this reach Tripoli, the absolute feud general. However, extending the impression that young people have begun to lose the fear of the regime and come out into the street.
The so-called Green Square has become the focus of demonstrations. A thousand people have gathered there and have been dissolved on the basis of tear gas. The uprising continues especially in the east, and Gaddafi continues to crush with mortar fire and machine guns. The first images that come out of the country, home videos recorded by the demonstrators themselves, show armed groups harassing people and men fell by the bullets.
Yesterday's unrest erupted in Musratha, (340,000 inhabitants), the third largest city after Tripoli and Benghazi (the epicenter of the uprising and second city of Libya, with little more than a million inhabitants in the northeast). Also spread to a large tribe, Werfell in a country where Gadhafi government for 42 years thanks to subtle tribal alliances.
In the last hours the demonstrators in Benghazi scored some points, focus more rebellious. Quryna occupied, the newspaper related to Saif el-Islam, and military vehicles seized. By all accounts from dissidents in Benghazi, the city and escape the control of the security forces. The dissenters also took tanks and large quantities of arms and ammunition from the Army, as acknowledged by Gadhafi's son in the speech.
"The criminals circulate even aboard armored" he said. In the eastern towns Al Bayda, Darna and Ajdabiya, part of the security forces have moved alongside the marchers. Relatives of those killed on Wednesday and Thursday, they thought that they too could fraternize with the security forces.
His overconfidence led to the worst massacre that occurred in Benghazi, tells a neighbor of the city that calls not to disclose his identity. After the collective burial, the relatives of the dead went on Friday to nightfall, the police headquarters. "We and the police are the same people!" They chanted.
An official of the security forces left the building, recalled the neighbor, and said yes, "were the same people." Invited to come to those who were in the front row and closed the doors. "They killed 23 men," he said. "The dead have bullet wounds to the head and chest." As in Cairo, Tahrir Square, in Benghazi is a permanent protest site.
Is the square in front of the courthouse, north of the city. There came to be concentrated up to 30,000 people, according to the neighbor said, despite fears of being gunned down. At night always remains a roadblock.
