The truth behind the Benghazi smokescreen
The truth behind the smokescreen. What happened in Benghazi was not just a tragedy, but a blatant criminal act on the part of the Obama’s government.

Al-Qaida offshoot in Libya hopes to turn Africa’s Sahel region into a ‘new Somalia’

By Thomas C. Mountain,

Libya seems well on its way to becoming the next Somalia, with much of the country already ruled by tribal/clan based armed militias. As was the case in Somalia, Libya is in the process of separation, with the eastern, oil rich, Cyrenica region having issued a de facto declaration of independence.

Tripoli, the capital of Libya, seems to be headed in the direction of where Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia was 20 years ago, with various well armed militias from outside the city taking up residence and clashing over territory and the spoils of power.  Continue reading Is Libya the Next Somalia? →
