The Benghazi Shura Council, a faction of Islamist militias assembled to resist attacks by Gen. Khalifa Hifter, has claimed total control over the city of Benghazi today, overrunning the last military positions in town.
Fighters with the Shura Council had routed the special forces in a base on the outskirts of town, and has seized the barracks inside the city as well, looting weapons. They are said to be the only fighting force in town.
The Shura Council includes Ansar al-Sharia, the group the US had blamed for the attack on the Benghazi Consulate, but is seen as more or less loyal to the Libyan parliament, which Gen. Hifter is trying to chase out of power.
The council’s takeover reflects Libya’s growing fracture along city lines, as the national government, to the extent it exists at all, holds little to no real authority beyond Tripoli, and even the capital is a site of constant clashing.
Hifter should have learned from fellow fascist Hitler and burned down the parliament building before making military moves.
That was Hillary-level cheap; how is Hifter a fascist??
Another (at least soon to be) failed state, courtesy of WAR.
Barack Hussein Obama/Hillary Clinton policies and the European gangs of Mafiosi/NATO knew what they were doing when they started this. Swedish government participation in bombing Libya so as NATO, the English French lies were done for Saudis barbarians to take over enabling them to buy a cheaper natural resources from these barbarians while killing the kind of democracy and independent that existed in Libya, opening a military corridor to militarize African nation as they have.
All of these governments are guilty of war crimes, not only in Libya but in Syria, Iraq and many other nations where they deceptive politics has been proven to be nothing but deception.
LOL!!
Did we ever find out whether Ghadaffi was indeed distributing Viagra for better rape performance as told by Ms. Rice? (Apart from that fact that said claim was dubious at best to anyone who knows anything about male behaviour and is not a neurotic female with issues)
