Libya

Libya's (obviously) doing pretty badly right now.

If you haven't heard, the brown people in the 3rd world country are too busy killing each other to give us oil, dammit! (I'm just joking)


In Egypt the army never attacked the protesters, not so in Libya...

Discuss Libya's current state.

The most recent news from what i heard is the protesters or rebels have taken over most of the western cities and is planning on invading Tripoli (capital). People are ordered not to leave or enter the city which is surrounded by tanks. And the hospitals are ordered not to help any injured anti-government supporters.

Last time I checked it's a bad idea to kill the people who are the source of your salary.

That's pretty extreme. I thought that doctors help wounded and sick no matter what?

Not everyone in the world thinks like that sadly

lolKhaddafi

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

I'm not really sure where the doctors stand in all of this. They could be treating them for all we know but either way doctors have reported that the police are taking away the injured to prison or killing them to hide the evidence of injured civilians.

F'ed up.

The army was shooting people trying to recover bodies. They wanted to leave the bodies in the streets as a deterrent to anti-"government" protesters.

Gaddafi is a despot who was only kept going by oil money, and seriously had this coming. The Arab world is going to see a lot more of this due to Egypt. Tunisia is pretty bad too, IIRC.

I believe the Tunisian leader resigned as of this morning but i could be wrong

I sure do love a good revolution.

First Mubarak resigns then that Tunisian leader
