Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 5, Part 3 (MASSIVE Crackdown ALL over Libya now!)
Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 5, Part 3 (The Scramble for Control of the Oil Fields)

Previous Day 5 threads: Part 1, Part 2


Occasionally, since the people I follow cover Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan also, if I see something really important about those countries, I'll post it here but I plan to mostly focus on Libya because they're having the hardest time getting the word out and Qaddafi's brutality is more systematic and I believe the scale exceeds the brutality in the other country.

They're also the country with the most propagandists on Twitter.

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, Qaddafi has brought in thousands of mercenaries from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other North African coutries, specifically Chad. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=103697256377254&oid=179449562095105 (Youtube link here) Their confessions are that they've been offered between $12,000 - $30,000 each.

State media, the revolution and violence: In conversation with Abdel Latif Al-Menawy

...

Jack Shenker: How do you think the state media, and in particular state television, performed in its initial coverage of the recent anti-government protests?

Abdel Latif Al-Menawy: The state media tried as much as possible not to be part of any demonstrations but to be neutral. We were very keen to only put the accurate news and at the same time show our audience the two different points of views. But to do so we had to investigate every piece of news we received from both parties’ which affected our fast pace of putting the news on air. We gave as much time to the youth of the revolution to explain and criticize and at many times answer back to the government officials who also presented their own points of view. We can only be held responsible for the
material we broadcast as news.

JS: Why did we see the tone of coverage changing in the final week before Hosni Mubarak's departure, becoming more critical of the regime and supportive of demonstrators?

AM: A changing point in our coverage happened Wednesday night the 2nd of February. During that day we received news that we thoroughly checked with our sources then of fireballs being thrown at demonstrators in Tahrir Square. The army even asked us to warn people of the fireballs as they must evacuate the square. At this point when we saw what happened we had to review our position and the accuracy of the news we are getting from our sources. This is where everyone thought we changed our tone.

Jets are bringing in mercenaries | @speak2tweet

on FEBRUARY 21, 2011

English:

I’m calling from Canda and I have family in Tripoli who just gave me information that there are jets bringing missionaries (means mercenaries) to Tripoli. There are Soug El Juma which is a little area in Tripoli was under control of the people last night and they were planning to all gather in green square but an hour ago the mercenaries were seen leaving towards Soug El Juma to take the people under control, so there are more jets bringing in mercenaries (missionaries) to Libya. thank you.

Translated by @stevecrossan

← There’s a massacre in Souk el Joumaa.All connections have been cut. →
