Meanwhile, in sunny Lebanon...http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/05/tripoli-library-burned_n_4543928.html

Lebanon Library Torched, 78,000 Books Burned By IslamistsAncient books in a historic library in the Lebanese city of Tripoli have been torched by Islamist, after a pamphlet purportedly insulting religion was found inside one of the books.Security sources say that up to 78,000 books, many irreplaceable ancient Muslim and Christian texts and manuscripts, are now unsalvageable, according to Agence France Press.The Al-Saeh library in the Serali neighborhood was set a-blaze after a local gang to objection to a sheet apparently insulting to the Prophet Mohammed, found hidden in the pages of one of the library books.The library's curator, Greek Orthodox priest Ibrahim Sarrouj, received threats from unidentified people who accused him of writing the article, according the Jordan News Agency.A protest had originally been planned to target the library but was called off after Sarrouj's pleas to Muslim leaders.“It became clear the priest had nothing to do with the pamphlet, and a demonstration that had been planned in protest over the incident was called off,” a security source told a Lebanese news agency.Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the arson attack. "We denounce the burning of the library and reject any harm being done to Tripoli and its people, as it has been, and will remain, the city of the world and of intellectuals," Mikati said.Lebanese blogger Elie Fares, who runs the website A Separate State Of Mind, blogged on Saturday night: "The country is burning, let’s not worry about a library. A lot of people might say that. But the library in question was a true national treasure, containing 78000 books, many of which exist in very few copies and many of which are, ironically, books about Islam."We just lost 78,000 books. We have lost many innocent lives as well over the past few days. And for the sake of what?"I’m not Muslim but I’m more Muslim than the lunatics who torched that library and so are most of the people of Tripoli that many Lebanese love to dismiss so easily."Lebanese police have launched an investigation into the incident.Tripoli's population is around 5% Christian, but the vast majority are Sunni Muslim and the small city is the country's "capital" of Sunni Islam, some of the most religious conservative neighborhoods of any city in Lebanon.

Samo da prijavim mali nesporazum između suseda na iračko-turskoj granici. Naime, Irački Kurdistan se nedavno naftovodom povezao sa Turskom (iz čega je najviše profitirao grad Erbil koji je doživeo neviđeni ekonomski bum) i krenuo da samostalno tj nezavisno pumpa naftu svom zapadnom susedu. Ministarstvo energetike u Bagdadu poslalo je delegaciju u Ankaru da se raspitaju o količinama (navodno po ustavom definisanoj autonomiji IK ima pravo da samostalno izvozi određene količine sirove nafte) ali su im ovi pokazali samo grafik sa šematskim prikazom troskoka. Sada iračka vlada preti da će suspendovati finansiranje IK zbog teškog kršenja ustava i pride su pozvali na razgovor otpravnika poslova turske ambasade.

Libya crisis deepens as renegade former general gains control of airbase
Fears of confrontation between rival groups mount as Tobruk airbase commander aligns himself with Khalifa Hiftar

Libya's fragile government faced a spreading armed rebellion on Monday when an air force base in the east of the country joined up with a renegade former general who is pledged to fighting Islamist militants.

Fears of a confrontation between rival groups mounted when the commander of the Tobruk air base announced he was putting it under the command of Khalifa Hiftar, a US-linked figure said to have been behind an attack on the parliament in Tripoli during weekend fighting which left about 80 people dead and 160 injured.

Most of the casualties were in Benghazi, Libya's second city, where Hiftar's men attacked Ansar al-Sharia, a fundamentalist organisation that has been designated by the US as a terrorist group.

The former general, who defected to the US in the 1980s, took part in the Nato-backed uprising against former president Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, but says the congress (parliament) in Tripoli lacks legitimacy. He has insisted he is not trying overthrow the government but to fight terrorists.

Residents described Tripoli as tense but calm on Monday but Saudi Arabia said it was closing its embassy, Afriqiyah airlines cancelled its London to Tripoli flights, Tunisia and Algeria announced they were sending reinforcements to their borders with Libya, Algeria recalled oil workers on security grounds, and Turkey closed its consulate in Benghazi.

Libya has been in a state of turmoil for months, with armed groups compounding the problems of a government struggling to acquire legitimacy and impose its authority. A planned new constitution remains unwritten and the country has had three prime ministers since March. Little progress has been made on security, democracy or economic recovery.

The gunmen who attacked the parliament belonged to brigades based in the western Zintan area, who are known for their opposition to Islamist groups.

Hiftar sits at the head of a loose coalition of tribal and army forces united by little more than opposition to the Islamist-led congress. He enjoys solid support in the eastern province of Cyrenaica and in the west, both crucial because these are the oil-producing areas that have mounted a 10-month oil blockade that has strangled state finances.

Months of behind-the-scenes negotiation with tribal militias and the army paved the way for his coordinated operation by army and air force units against Islamist militias in Benghazi and the storming of congress by Zintan's militias.

Growing momentum for Hiftar may be privately welcomed by the government, which on Monday asked parliament to suspend its work until the next general election after an impending vote on the 2014 budget and to rerun the controversial election of a new premier who is deemed favourable to the Islamists.The crisis has exposed the country's deep divisions but it is hard to predict what will happen next. "When Gaddafi fell, the different militias did not share a vision of how the country should evolve," Prof Youcef Bouandel of Qatar Univeristy told Al-Jazeera TV. "All the signs are that it is a failed state. The signs are that the violence is going to continue."

Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, expressed concern about the "continuing deterioration" and the European Council for Foreign Relations warned: "With reliance on Russian energy supplies now in question across Europe, the EU cannot afford to have a failed state crucial to energy security and to stemming illegal trafficking 350 km south of Malta and Lampedusa."

Washington has viewed the growing power of Islamists in Libya with alarm, especially the kidnapping of the Jordanian ambassador by gunmen in Tripoli, and his release in return for Jordan freeing a Libyan in jail on terrorism offences.

The CIA and Pentagon are likely to welcome Hiftar's intervention, and drones have been much in evidence in Libya's skies this past week. But the state department is wary of supporting Hiftar if he follows the Egyptian model of moving away from democracy by replacing an Islamist government with military dictatorship.

Western governments have been pushing Islamists and the opposition to agree to fresh elections. "Elections, elections elections," said one Tripoli-based diplomat. "Both sides are nervous of the other, the key is elections."

Opinion polls predict a landslide victory for Mahmoud Jibril, the tribal figurehead and former rebel prime minister, who is an ally of Hiftar and living in self-imposed exile in Abu Dhabi. This in turn worries the Muslim Brotherhood's Justice and Construction party, which leads congress, with the most authoritative poll giving them just 14% to Jibril's 70%. They fear losing elections would be followed by an Egypt-style purge.

Budja je ovo dobro prokomentarisao, ali je podela u Libiji je drugacija jer i druga strana je ovde naoruzana za razliku do Egipta, a ujedno to nije jedina podela mada se jedna sa drugom uzrokuju.

Ukratko, sekularisti su milicije iz Nafuse (Zintan), deo lokalnih milicija iz Tripolija i Haftarove jedinice koje uz sebe imaju i avijaciju. Sa druge strane su islamisticke milicije bliske Muslimnaskom bratstvu na istoku Libije koje podrzava deo naoruzanih milicija u Tripoliju, ali i Misracani (cija se interesna zona u medjuvremenu prilicno uvecala) i koji jos uvek nisu spremni da udju u direktan sukob sa Haftarovim pokretom (nazovimo ga tako).

 

 

Khalifu Haftara sam pominjao na ovom topiku u periodu kada se pojavio u Bengaziju tokom pobune protiv Gadafija.

Očekujem najskoriji izlazak na slobodu Mubaraka, pošto je danas osuđen na tri godine zatvora, a uhapšen je u aprilu 2011.

Interactive: Egypt votes for president

 

nisam bas pratio detaljno situaciju u egiptu, sada vidim ... osim muslimanske brace, zabranjen je i "6. april", tamarud podrzava sisija.

videce se po broju izaslih na izbore, koliko im je uspela akcija sa vojnim pucem.

 

Potpuno nebitno.

Za Sisijev ustav je izaslo da glasa 38.6%, jedva nesto vise nego za Morsijev.

Puc je uspeo, poodavno.
