Men varken den libyska eller den bahrainska regimen har någon brist på vapen. Det de verkar sakna är undersåtar som är beredda att masslakta folket - annars skulle inte Gaddafi behöva lova sina importerade legoknektar 30.000 dollar för mordjobbet. Och Bahrains armé kan väl tänkas inta en liknande attityd som den egyptiska.
Tack för länken. Glädjande att Storbritannien markerar men som du säger har skurken Gaddafi eller Bahrain knappast ont om vapen.
Jag hoppas att militären i både länderna tar avstånd från deras ledares massakrer, det vore ett stort slag mot regimernas makt. Ett litet ljus i detta mörker:

Meanwhile, a group of Libyan army officers have issued a statement urging fellow soldiers to "join the people" and help remove Muammar Gaddafi.
The officers urged the rest of the Libyan army to march to Tripoli.

1. Norrmän?
2. Påminner ju aningen om en samtida diktator med liknande storslagna planer...
Tror Ezzelino syftar på judar...

Gaddafi är villigt att göra allt för att stanna kvar. Human Rights Watch om händelserna igår och idag i Tripoli (en mycket fin stad förövrigt, en liten del av min släkt bodde i Libyen från slutet av 40-talet till 70-talet):
Citat:
(New York) - Witnesses in Tripoli have described Libyan forces firing "randomly" at protesters in the capital on February 22 and 21, 2011, Human Rights Watch said today. While Human Rights Watch is unable to verify these reports, sources from two hospitals in Tripoli said at least 62 bodies, victims of clashes, had been brought into their morgues since February 20. On February 22, one man told Human Rights Watch by Skype that he could see men driving around shooting at passers-by in the Ben Ashour neighbourhood of Tripoli.

"Anyone, including Muammar Gaddafi, ordering or carrying out atrocities should know they will be held individually accountable for their actions, including unlawful killings of protesters," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "We fear the death toll will rise much higher unless Gaddafi ends his bloody attempts to suppress dissent. He should call his forces including mercenaries off immediately."

In Libya, several tribal chiefs have lent support to the anti-government movement. France24.com spoke to Hasni Abidi, director of the Study and Research Centre for the Arab and Mediterranean World in Geneva, about the role of tribes in the events

F24: Do the tribal chiefs have any influence in the current revolt in Libya? If so, what is it?
Hasni Abidi: The uprisings in Libya are popular, not tribal. But just like the army, tribal chiefs can have a crucial impact in this movement, even to the point of toppling the regime. They legitimise the anti-government movement and if they join it, they can considerably expand the movement’s reach. The tribal chiefs represent a sort of moral and social support, and a refuge, given the total absence of Libyan political institutions. The main Libyan tribe, Warfallah, counts nearly one million people and was the first tribe to support the current anti-government movement. It’s a very bad sign for Gaddafi’s regime. And the regime knows that.
