Civil War in Libya

[Viking]

Here's how they're faring in Benghazi.

They? One man? And who; Got his ID? Would suck if he turned out to be a mercenary, eh?

And ever more information is coming to light that debunks the 'mercenaries' excuse as nothing more than a cover to exercise long held racist cleansings by the Arab rebels, who have long resented the presence of African workers in their country.

lol, you can't be serious. Firstly, a lack of evidence as seen by one person, does not debunk anything at all. Secondly, there is nothing in the first link nor the second to support such a confident conclusion (there are no obvious links between the two articles, either). One should not be surprised at the lack of captured mercenaries, why would a man getting paid by a tyrant to fight his people want to get captured by said people?

Here's evidence of mercenaries from Chad, ID papers shown to camera at 03:13 (from outside Adjabiya in March)

But not only sub-Saharan African countries are accused of providing mercenaries, there has also been claims that Algerians have been fighting for Gaddafi; and early on in the conflict, it was claimed that the pilots of a regime yet that was shot down had Syrian passports. A couple of days ago, they also claimed to have capture mercenaries from Ukraine in Tripoli. I cannot confirm any of this stuff, but of course it would be convinient for the opposition fighters to convince themselves that most of the men they are fighting are not countrymen, but rather foreigners - making their fight more noble.

YOUR RIGHT!!!!!!!!

And here's evidence in the form of a solitary picture that Racism is dead in America too!

Talk about anecdotal evidence......

Way to miss the point. From the very start of this war, PJ has tried to discredit the opposition fighters, first by claiming that they were al-Qaeda sympathisers, and when that turned out not to be so efficient, they were racists instead. It's all black and white, which is precisely something a simple picture can disprove - nuance is unsurprisingly required, so my picture fulfills its task most elegantly. Anecdotal evidence is exactly what PJ's video is, no details on the surroundings are provided.

for all you really know those are pro-gaddafi loyalists.

Really? With the opposition flag at the stock of his weapon? The image is from yesterday, inside Bab Al-Aziziya.
