The BBC claimed this was Tripoli, but, it is actually India.
Almost all of the points made below have been noted previously in this blog during the attack on Libya. The Libyan people are not to be envied in the least. They have been betrayed on every level by the international media who operate as the propaganda branch of NATO.
The dogs of hell have taken over their nation and continue to tear at the corpse like a pack of ravenous beasts just as happened in the fall of Iraq. I wonder if, as in the case of Cheney and Iraq, anyone in the Obama administration has a shopping list of antiquities for various buyers!
And now we will watch yet another solid affluent society be dismantled and destroyed by TPTB because the proud desert spirit of the Libyans will not lie down and take it. Unlike the Iraqi, these people are all armed to the teeth. I was told when this began, by an Egyptian friend, that Qaddafi would arm the populace.
Meanwhile, the media lies continue. I think another blatant blatant one is the above image of INDIANS and passed off by the BBC as celebrating Libyans. Do they think we all believe that "all you brown people look alike" and would not notice the difference? The Elite might think that way but to assume everyone is that dumb and/or prejudiced is an insult to EVERYONE!
Meanwhile, Libya is now being raped. Including, you may be sure, the beautiful women and boys of that country. Just for the record, the Libyan people under Qaddafi were secular Muslims meaning that they were far from fanatic, much more Westernized than many other Muslim countries. Similar to Iraq before the war when women were free to dress as they wished and to pursue education and careers. All that ended with the war and now, if the American backed Brotherhood takes power in Libya, fundamentalism will be the order of the day and religious oppression will return.

On 27 Agust 2011, The Economist has a partly honest article on Libya
According to The Economist:
1."The Tripolitans are not cheering all that much...
"For the most part... Tripolitans marked the exodus of their leader... by staying indoors.
"There were no mass prayers of thanks in Green Square.
"The Qatari TV station, Al Jazeera, which has acted for much of the uprising as the rebels' propaganda arm... made do with close-ups of single flag-wavers..."
2. "Loyalist forces dug in around the city’s southern outskirts.
"Tripolitans by the hundred plundered the arms depots...
"Dentists jostled with high-school children to haul Kalashnikovs off the shelves...
3. "Armed Berbers (were) apparently equipped by Qatar with sophisticated tank-piercing bullets and backed by special forces from Western powers as well as from Jordan...
"Mysterious English-accented men who strongly resemble special forces have been spotted in the western mountains as well as in Misrata helping to co-ordinate NATO’s bombardment with the rebel advance...

4. "Each neighbourhood and sometimes each alleyway erected and manned its own barricade...
5. "Guns, not civilian politics, are currently determining Libya’s future, and could yet precipitate a squabble for the country’s tantalizingly rich resources."
6. "Tripolitans are snakes," says a Berber rebel fighter heading home with a cache of stolen weapons... They carry a Qaddafi flag in one pocket and a rebel one in the other.
Libya is now to be looted.
7. "The police ... have melted away.
"The doors of the prisons, as well as the armouries, have been flung open...
"The continued closure of shops, schools and workplaces is unsettling for many.
"Without a resumption of economic activity, not to say generous and rapid pay rises, people could become restless.
8. "The rebels have ... acted wrongfully against some civilians.
"Pro-regime fighters... have been abused and possibly executed after capture.
"Similar treatment is said to have been received by some unfortunate dark-skinned immigrants.
"In June and July, according to the New York-based Human Rights Watch, rebels in the western mountains reportedly burnt buildings and beat civilians...

9. "Much of the rebel manpower is grouped into 40-plus privately organized, privately funded militias..."
Each militia "is usually drawn from one town, commanded by a respected local military veteran or, in some cases, by the businessman who financed it.
"They drive privately owned pickups or jeeps with mounted anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns, captured from government arsenals or supplied by foreign benefactors."
10. "A group of protesters holding a sit-in outside NTC headquarters last week said that they suspected senior council leaders of having cut a deal with a handful of Libyan political groups, such as the Muslim Brothers...
"The interim constitution declares sharia to be 'the major source of legislation'.
The militias "are presumed to contain ...militant Islamists and possible former al-Qaeda associates..."
