The heir of Gaddafi has arrived at the gates of Tripoli

By all accounts the UN-recognised government and the various armies camped there in Tripoli will put up a struggle, and the city will not fall without some bloody hand-to-hand, street-to-street fighting through rubble that could echo some of the worst episodes in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq. If Libya is ever to be united under this would-be dictator – once a disciple of Colonel Gaddafi – it will first have to be broken.

As most everyday people are when politicians and 'leaders' go to war. Collateral damage. Acceptable losses. We common folk are always the ones who pay. Heartfelt support to the people of Libya. And Yemen. And Syria. And Myanmar. And....

If you don't have a legitimate government then countries get run by blatant criminals. The minute people get guns in their hands, power goes to their heads. However in a civilised world we get run by inconspicuous ones that are getting exposed all around the world today, sad.

Libya: UK urges France to condemn Khalifa Haftar’s assault on TripoliEU foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss future of country in throes of civil war Why France? Hafter has been appointed the new dictator to Libya by UN and the West, and they all support him in his aggressive offensive!! It was inevitable that a ‘strong man’ would step in to fill Gadaffi’s empty shoes. It seems to me that some Arab nations can only function under a strong leader capable of dealing with diabolical followers of ISIS.

And from Europe to the uk. And then when we have enough, we are racists. Hang on....the UK/EU sign up to the UN's Migration compact which legalizes crossing borders with no passport etc and makes migration a human right and 3 months later were told there's going to be a migration crisis Don't sodding tell me that that's a coincidence!!!! Don’t let them in
