THE LIBYA RELIEF GUIDE or WHERE TO DONATE →
abudai:
NOT a definitive list. This is a quick compilation of charities. Not all of these charities are working from inside Libya, and some of them are simply working as intermediaries. My suggestion is to research each charity very carefully before donating. Organizations working in the…

Libya: As of now...
As of now, the Libyan rebels have liberated the eastern part of Libya. Gaddafi has become more enraged, as has become evident through his increasing attacks on the rebels, both verbally and physically. The rebels pushing into western Libya are still suffering and dying. Though Gaddafi’s forces have started to lose faith in him, he still has a loyal following who are protecting him and the...

dorkery:
Gadafi is talking now on state TV, on the phone.
He’s calling protesters again drug addicts and criminals, ‘kids’ that had ‘hallucination’ pills mixed with their coffee drinks.
“Why would people want to change the system?”
Osama Bin Laden is behind the protesters, he’s the one giving your child…

Liberation is coming, but for how long?
The people of Libya seem to be winning the battle for liberation of their country. They have endured things the likes of that we may never see here in America. I sincerely hope we never do. They have done all of this, survived all this, in order to gain the freedom we feel everyday in America. Their fight is far from over, and other countries are still in the battle. Just yesterday a group of...

U.S. to Evacuate (American) Citizens Amid Libya...
The U.S. is finally getting involved, but it’s not what you’d think from the headlines! At first I thought they were actually deciding to help Libyan people get away from the danger they are facing. The U.S. will be sending ferrys to get American citizens out of Libya. At least there is more recognition of the danger from America, but this is not what we are asking for.

They have condemned the actions of Qaddafi and his regime after a day of debate over the ongoing crisis. Though this is a step, the UN has not done enough.
Acknowledgment is the first step, but just saying that we...

Libya Reax: What Can We Do?
Steve Negus … thinks that the international community should intervene:
The question now is whether or not an international body (NATO, the UN) can declare a no-fly zone. Given the size of Libya, the fragility of the regime, and the apparent dependence of the government forces on air supply, this may not be as toothless as it first sounds. A no fly ban (if it is enforced) could...
