Congratulations on not getting fit in 2011!
So it seems as if Tripoli has been ready to burst for a while now and this is just the final drop in the balloon pressure bubble thingy.

I guess we all got a bit fooled by the propaganda of the colonel's strong supporters in Tripoli.

Gaddafi saying tomorrow Tripoli will be destroyed, implicitly acknowledging it will be over shortly.

Quickie translation:

quote:

They have come, they have occupied Tripoli. How can you allow the colonialists to occupy Tripoli again, this is unacceptable!
Tripoli has become like Baghdad, it is now being destroyed, it must end now, it must not happen, go out and fight them
All the tribes leave your homes and fight (names various tribes) Defend Tripoli like it was defended against the Italians
(names more tribes, Allooss, Garbolli etc) All come and defend Tripoli or you will become slaves tomorrow
They have started to arrive! There is no room for occupiers. Where will you flee you traitors! Go back to where you came from

Does the audio from CQ keep cutting out from his end, or is that Al Jazeera live just having problems.

Also, CQ has been reduced to begging from fictional supporters.

I've only been lurking in this thread for the past two weeks but I would also like to thank Brown Moses for doing an excellent job on keeping people informed about something that a lot of the media really should be doing a better job covering.

It's incredible how fast Tripoli is collapsing here.

I've seen reports of celebrations in the west, south and east of Tripoli. Basically Tripoli is now surrounded by one giant party.

I think they'll realise they are pretty hosed, and I would expect splits between fanatics and people who want to live on in Libya.

Man, gently caress. I've got to resit all my goddamn exams, and now this poo poo is happening and I just had to log on again.

That photorug, god fuckin' drat. I wish Cameron was genuinely a huge authoritarian rear end in a top hat so we could do something like this, feel like that kind of freedom they must be feeling.

gently caress me, look at Benghazi. Incredible.

I wonder if Gaddafi's children are talking about their father's whereabouts, especially the eldest son Muhammad.

Man, looking at all those people stomping and driving over the pictures of Gaddafi, that must be so satisfying for them. This is it! They win!

Now, if only Gaddafi wasn't smart enough to leave Libya. He would've gotten the Ceausescu treatment.

Here's hoping Gaddafi's fall will spruce up protests across the Middle East, and maybe even in African nations.

The Algeria thing is just a rumour at the moment.
It's great to see these pictures from Tripoli, so many people were predicting bloody street fighting, instead it's one big party.
