Libyan rebels executed 67 Gaddafi fighters and possibly the dictator himself a year ago – that’s according to a new report by Human Rights Watch. The loyalists of the regime were said to have been abused and murdered. The findings also imply the very same militias that toppled the Colonel still play a major role in Libyan politics. RT talks to Sabah Al-Mukhtar, president of the Arab Lawyers Association.
Of course
Since about June, I had been anticipating the snow and the frigidity of the winter. At first, it seemed like we were in for a brutal winter, getting a significant and disruptive amount of snow, I believe on the night between October 29th and 30th. We only got one snowfall more disruptive, if not more significant, which was on January 21st. Really, though the “October Snowstorm” as that unprecedented snowfall quickly came to be called, did not really affect any of us here. But to the north and west, there was indeed a wintry amount of snowfall. One month into autumn! Very uncommon. The mildness of the winter, apart from those two disappointing snowfalls, naturally gave way this past week to 60-degree temperatures. Outside in the backyard on Friday afternoon I saw the signs of spring conquer the somehow impotent force of cold.
This is the first thing I noticed as I was taking my dog out to relieve herself. I was so happy that I could not mourn my lost winter!
