PoliticsLibya: Gadaffi regroups: Country in full revolutionary mode, civil war, genocide
EuroNews offers the above video (acknowleging some foutage courtesy of OneDayOnEarth).
The UN has been cawt out napping again, on this occasion by Guardian commenter Carne Ross who "spent four and a half years negotiating resolutions on the Middle East at the UN Security Council." Instead of a resolution with teeth, the UN folks issued a perfunctory news release instead, with the usual platitudes, but not even a mention of the genocidal attacks on civilians. Now, the European Union is going ahead with its own response, one that will apparently include sanctions (Bloomberg). The USA likewise (Agence Presse France).
