What happens now in Libya - these minutes, these hours these days know we? it is not accurate, and most news is unconfirmed. The media, which reported yet in Egypt, day and night over the course of events, have no way to send from Libya. The only information source is the Internet: videos on Youtube and other sites, Twitter, news ticker on Facebook. Even Al Jazeera, CNN and the BBC, who have no reporters or cameras on the ground are dependent on the information that is distributed via telephone or Internet. We are witnessing a revolution in media darkness .

is no doubt that Libya now prevail in many places warlike conditions: in Benghazi, in al-Baida ', in other cities in the interior and since yesterday in Tripoli. In one video shows how insurgents break down in a Tobruk Memorial Gaddafi. Military, Special forces and intelligence, as is often reported, black African soldiers are deployed against the insurgents.

on Youtube videos have been published, to show how the bodies of demonstrators Browse African mercenaries in gray-blue uniforms, to identify characteristics. That foreign mercenaries are employed by the Libyan regime, now seems assured, according to eyewitnesses are the mercenaries from Mali, on the Internet, it also means "Korean" mercenaries were involved. According to analysts, who expressed last night on Aljazeera, Gaddafi is foreign would be a mercenary, because the Libyan military does not shoot its own people, other reports say, however, that the military force is going against the insurgents. Otherwise, to hear that officers deserted to the insurgents. On the Internet it is the speech of African soldiers would break into houses and raping women as intimidation, perhaps by order; this message it may be, of course, a deliberate hoax. An Arab commentator said this: "If Gaddafi has commanded in his madness, then the end is near"

But the Seriousness of the revolt and of violent clashes and the obvious brutality with which the regime strikes back, are not in question. The military uses against the insurgents heavy weapons, including tanks. Unconfirmed reports speak of targeted killings by head shots. Saturday was also reported by the military units had joined the insurgents in Benghazi, which was in turn also not been confirmed. Other reports said that the army supposedly hooks up with protesters, and then to hold mass executions.

Even the police are involved in the fighting. For a number of Libyan Cities was reported on Saturday that the local police stations were set on fire, nor should the police in al-Baida 'have been routed by the insurgents and two policemen were lynched. It is reported finally that stormed prisons and the prisoners had been freed. In other news, it means that the regime had caused the opening of prisons, similar to the strategy of the Mubarak regime in Egypt.

Totally unclear so far whether Benghazi, al-Ajdabiya and other cities in the east of the country "in the hands of insurgents," as in the course of several Saturdays and reports of Libyan opposition groups in Europe already "officially" was announced. After all, in the east of the country seems to have consolidated the movement of insurgents so far that in the Arab world has already drawn comparisons with the insurgency Omar Mukhtar (1862-1931), the great Libyan national hero, by the Italian colonial power in Benghazi was executed. But as I said, there is still great uncertainty about the success of insurgents in eastern Libya. The Internet was cut off in large parts of the country on Friday evening, although we learn from Tripoli that there until Saturday night, a few hours ago, the Internet "Completely blocked" was. A few minutes ago it was reported Egyptians would organize near the Egyptian-Libyan border food and medicines as well as SIM cards for the rebels in Libya. The Internet phone numbers were announced, such as these people were reached.

Secured seems at the moment, the number of 84 deaths over the past three days, military and killed by snipers in Benghazi, 15 participants at the funeral of slain rebels were in turn fired live ammunition and killed. Children should be among them. Meanwhile, sources on the Internet and telephone calls are also much higher Casualties reported from Benghazi: 1000 to the 200 dead, more than wounded. These figures were reported by midnight of Fathi Tarbil telephone on Aljazeera. Clock is at 02:35 this morning, according to Internet reports, the number of fatalities have to go to 300. In other sources - Arab news agencies - is already the talk of 500 dead and many bodies are on the streets liegen.Über Twitter and other services contact us every minute cruel details, the truth is not to check. There we read, for example, that should have started the security services of the regime, doctors in hospitals to liquidate. The internet services google, twitter and SayNow set up a service that allows Libyans with their mobile phones to leave messages, which are then stored on the Internet ( voices from Libya ). All this can not be tested. We can compare only the many small fragments, to obtain a rough picture of the events in Libya.

We do not know what measures the regime uses to Gaddafi, in part because much of what is reported to sound unbelievable to be true. But one thing is clear: The country is obviously on the edge. It seems doubtful at present whether the regime can survive Gaddafi this rebellion - even if, as seems likely - even before the extremes will not zurückschreckt.Gaddafi not give in, "Experts warned the Gaddafi regime was unlikely to make the sort of compromises seen recently in other Arab countries. Sir Richard Dalton, former British ambassador to Libya, said : ".. Gaddafi will find it hard to make concessions in order to survive I think the attitude of the Libyan regime is that it's all or nothing" sees "

So far, the world - or rather, you can not see because they get to see practically nothing. And the Western governments? Berlusconi announced on Saturday meant he did not phone with Gaddafi, because he was "in such a delicate situation would not interfere." Otherwise he would be in not interfere the internal affairs of Libya. Other voices from Europe have so far not to hear any case at government level. Only the British Foreign Secretary, yesterday reported their say: The violence that performing the Libyan regime was "unacceptable" and "the use of heavy weapons fire and a unit of snipers were horrifying." He said then added: "The absence of TV cameras does not mean the attention of the world should not be focussed on the actions of the Libyan government."

But we should not fool ourselves: It is not only the difficulty of reporting from Libya, which make the events in Libya at present to a secondary theme in the media. On the one going on right now "to much, "the various herd revolution in the Arab countries - Yemen, Bahrain and Libya - are dealt with summarily in the news. "Protests were also reported in Libya next to" hear something like this since yesterday on German television. On the other hand: who is interested in actually for Libya? Or to put it less polemically: Who really knows anything about Libya? Few are in Germany or in Europe linked to the country emotionally, very few know it from their holiday. Libya is generally best known for windy weapon dealers and dodgy Austrian businessmen. In addition, some archaeologists who wander through the ruins of Leptis Magna.

Libya is just not Egypt or Tunisia. It is a near distant land. It is a country that is sinking in these hours in the blood.
