In reply to Tunnel vision. It's a domino effect. One country after the other with riots. More refugees are expected to arrive in the next hours in the south of Italy. It seems that in Sicily marquee tents are being pitched to be ready for the next hours.

Please let us be moderate and factual in what we write. And I do not mean you, Ms. Caruana Galizia.

I have spent nearly 20 years working in Libya and I was always treated with courtesy and kindness. Without citing Christian (or Muslim) feelings I want to publicly show my complete solidarity with all Libyan people of good will.

Just checked Libya TV and it’s still running.

It is showing a crowd of people demonstrating and they seem to be pro Gaddafi but I cannot be sure.

They are waving green flags and what look like portraits of Gaddafi but I’m not sure as the picture is not that clear and it could be someone else.

“State television would in a crisis like that have been heavily guarded by the army. If it was not, and protestors could get through to sack the place, then we have a good indication of what is happening with the army, and it is not what Saif Gaddafi said last night.”

They evidently have a backup TV centre, possibly even located abroad as when I last checked they were still transmitting. I quite expect the beloved colonel to have such backup plans.

Even his own physical safety is unlikley to be threatened as his ‘residences’ are impervious to anything short of a full scale military attack. That will of course change if/when the military changes sides.

In reply to Tunnel vision.

Protest in tunisia for separation of mosque and state – if they are to carry on like this, the tables will be reversed and we’ll be the backwards countries in a hundred or less…

Before the 1976 elections, Gheddafi spoke at an MLP mass meeting – I think in Birzebbuga – and said that if the Maltese voted for the PN, he would stop supplying oil at a cheap price.
