    Libyan militias parade through Tripoli

    TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Thousands of fighters from across western Libya have held a mass parade in Tripoli, showing off heavy machine guns and rocket launchers and firing rifles in the air.

    The procession Tuesday was a show of force by members of some 100 militias that announced a new, unified military council the day before.

    It appeared intended as a warning to anyone who might stage attacks during celebrations this week of the one-year anniversary of the start of the uprising that ended with the death of Moammar Gadhafi last October.

    Fears of pro-Gadhafi activities have mounted following a call by one of his sons for a new uprising.

    The National Transitional Council that now rules Libya has struggled to control the hundreds of brigades that fought in the war.

      We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion:
      The stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases,
      while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage
      of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

      Hahahahahaha. "The National Transitional Council that now rules Libya has struggled to control the hundreds of brigades that fought in the war." Absolute lies the National Transitional Council does not rule Libya. It is the hundreds of brigades - made up gangs, thugs, hooligans, islamist, tribesmen that rule Libya. Now that they are uniting against NATO/NTC the real war is about to start and NATO has to send in troops to protect its control of the oil platforms and oil wells it now controls.

      The unity of these so the hundreds of brigades is against NATO/NTC. Obama/Hilliary, Sorkozy, Cameron the Libyan war is not over yet. Now you will be facing an Islamist gangs that is more savage rather than the circular Ghadafi. Good Luck.

        The gangs include the assorted prisoners that Saif al-Islam Gadhafi released to fight holy war against him. Some of them are Al Qaeda, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood and just an all encompassing group of extremists.

      tragic end
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Taifa, Ghana  •  3 mths ago
      Would it not have been better if Obama, Cameroon, sarkozy and their libyan airforce(NATO) conducted a refrendum for the people of Libya rather than their covered murder of Gaddafi?. After NATO killing civilians, pro-Gaddafi militia, and Gaddafi himself, is Libya better today than when Gaddafi was ruling?
    • Shoko  •  3 mths ago
      There are over 200 militias, gangs, islamist and tribesmen in control of Libya today. The NTC is a NATO paper government in control of the $160 billion Ghadafi Libyan surpluse funds the great green African leader invested in the western world. Now the NTC is looting the billions of dollars with the aid of NATO countrie and the people of Libya are going for months now without salary and repair of the damages of NATO to Libya infrastructure which is one of the most developed in the Middle East and Africa. NATO practically destroyed Libya.

        Not to mention Serbia.
      • Cosmin 3 mths ago
        not to mention Iraq
      • ann 3 mths ago
        NTC also has over a billion dollars of Gadhafi family real estate. The Gadhafis really were not thinking. They could have at least gotten their relatives out of the country in 02/2011 and transferred the property to them to sell and hide the profits. I never would have gone broke being a martyr real or imaginary.

      The USA funded and organized Al Qaeda fighters against Gaddhafi just like the CIA supported and funded Al Qaeda in Afghanistan against the Soviets.
      Now the USA is supporting, funding and organizing (through Mossad and Israel) the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria against the Assad regime. (without any legal right and against International Law)
      • Thinker 3 mths ago
        very true
      • Fair and Balanced 3 mths ago
        There was no al-qaeda back then, numb nuts.
      • 18m_adyar 3 mths ago
        To be fair and balanced... pardon the pun... they did morph into al qaeda. Which is pretty much the same thing. :D
    • generaletrius  •  3 mths ago
      Well at least some are listening to each other and working together.

      • Ketty nafulce M 3 mths ago
        Sure! The Africans who should be talking about Africa are the very ones who betray their own people,look at what is happening in Libya,Egypt to mention but a few.God bless Africa!
    • David P  •  3 mths ago
      Has it really been a whole year?
    • lakeqi  •  3 mths ago
      Obama is the butcher of Libya. He is a diabolical pirate, masquerading as a man of peace. A war criminal of the first order, an organizer of death squads. Libya was higher than russia and a whole bunch of other countries on the UN development index. Now, thanks to Obama it will become the new Somalia.
    • Shoko  •  3 mths ago
      Without NATO this rebels still would not have a chance when the Libyans start fighting back and taking back their country.

    • ralph  •  3 mths ago

    • J. V. DZUGASHVILI  •  Richardson, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Are we taxpayers still getting the bill for all the ammo and toys these thugs expend ?
    • Nur Firdaus  •  3 mths ago
      oh gosh
    • 50 cents brigade  •  3 mths ago
      A good example to the rest of the world learn from. US military c'dtat kills more civilians and death. Turning a rich nation into another Somalia. Instead of an Arab Spring, the Arab got a Arab Winter. Syria, Egypt and Lebanon will be next follow by the rest of the world. The world should rise up and topple the American and billed them the cost of life lost.
    • NutsFlipped  •  3 mths ago
      They are scared because they don't have NATO anymore.
    • Lee Denver  •  Panama City, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      The unrest in Syria is being instigated and funded by the Americans, Israelis, British and the puppet Gulf States. This is all part of the “Project for a New American Century” that was created before 9/11. This document expressed the need for a “new Pearl Harbor” that would garner public support for this diabolical plan. 9/11 was a classic stand-down, false flag operation conducted by domestic traitors. If you study the PNAC, all of the aggressive policies and actions of the past decade will fall into context including the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and you will see where things are currently heading. With millions of Americans out of work, tent cities springing up all over America and millions of children going hungry, these megalomaniacal traitors are steamrolling ahead with their plans, thus putting total economic collapse in the US on an even faster track.

      Hopefully they'll start shooting each other again.
