CTV: Libya, BAhrain, Yemen and Freedom Rally

I was on Canada’s CTV on Saturday to discuss the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Libya and Bahrain and how U.S. interests weigh in on the geopolitics of several uprisings in the region.

Your contribution especially on social media has been invaluable. Glad you are making the electronic media circuit as well in pursuit of democratic reforms across Egypt, Libya etc….

I have been following what is going on in Libya. I can not believe that nobody is willing to help the Libyan People, they are being Massacred. This is not them wanting a better life, they have to go out every day knowing they are going to be murdered, because if they don’t try, they know Giddafi will hunt them down one by one till he gets them all and their families for rising up against them, this has happened in the past. It has taken them 42 years for the libyan people to stand up and now they are being murdered by African gangs, that he has paid to come in and murder the people. There is only one way of this ending and it’s going to be bloody, why can’t Obama or cameron do anything, they only get involved when they need something out of it, I have lost All respect from them both. The world needs to stand up and be counted, this can not go on.

@ayesha, what you wrote doesn’t make sense Libyans are Africans!

@Anonymous: Ayesha means that Gaddafi has hired mercenaries from *other* African countries, and what she says makes perfect sense.

I’m not going to speculate what the earlier comment “means” other than what is written, if you want to change the meaning by adding the word “other”, than by all means go ahead.
