Tripoli, Libya. This young woman and her friend spoke English and were happy to pose for me. Many Moslems will not allow their photo to be taken - a strange religious belief.
Cousins Ayman Abdul Latif (left) and Mohammad Abdul Latif (centre) were both seriously wounded playing with an unexpoded cluster bomb, outside their home in Misrata. Ayman, 14, lost both his hands in the explision which also lacerated his torso, groin and legs - leaving him permanently and severely disabled. The boys traveled in a mobile Intensive Care Unit onboard an IOM refugee boat, the Azzurra, from the beiseged city of Misrata to Benghazi, in eastern Libya. The bombs, manufactured in Spain, were fired in mortars by Col Gaddafi's forces during the battle for the city. Ayman and his cousin were injured at around 6pm, on 13/05/11, on Benghazi Street.

A man plays with his son in front of a cartoon depicting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in Benghazi February 26, 2011. World powers struggled to find a way to stop Gaddafi lashing out at his people as he clings to power in Tripoli, the last big city where an uprising against his rule has yet to take hold.

....I've been mining the Internet all day for information on the situation in Libya.
Gaddafi is killing civilian protesters; non-independently confirmed reports say that Gaddafi has brought in sub-Saharan African mercenaries to do his shooting for him; two fighter pilots diverted to Malta and are seeking asylum after refusing orders to bomb civilians; nine Libyan diplomats worldwide have denounced the regime publicly; Al Jazeera reports over 250 dead on Monday alone. There are tens of bloody images of dead protesters.
Most Libyan communications are down, including cell phones and Internet, and Al Jazeera broadcasts are being deliberately jammed, which makes it very hard to get verified reports out of the country. Foreign media has been denied access to Libya for the past week.
Benghazi and Tripoli hospitals are reportedly overwhelmed with casualties and in desperate need of supplies; there have also been reports of Gaddafi supporters entering hospitals and killing wounded and doctors. Egypt and Tunisia are setting up mobile hospitals on their borders with Libya.

Many rumors, also unconfirmed, state that Gaddafi is no longer in Libya. Only his son, Saif, has made any statements recently and even those were recorded. The regime said it would fight to the last man standing.
This is being called a genocide.

Libya (Arabic: ليبيا Lībyā) is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west.
With an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa by area, and the 17th largest in the world. The largest city, Tripoli, is home to 1.7 million of Libya's 6.4 million people. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica.
In 2009 Libya had the highest HDI in Africa and the fourth highest GDP (PPP) per capita in Africa, behind Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world and the 17th-highest petroleum production.
As a result of the civil war of February to October 2011, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, which had at that time been in existence for 34 years, collapsed and Libya entered a period of governance by a transitional administration called the National Transitional Council. The NTC has stated its intention to oversee the first phase of a transition to constitutional democracy, after which it claims it will dissolve in favor of a representative legislature.
Libya is fourth in size among the countries of Africa and seventeenth among the countries of the world. Its coastline lies between Egypt and Tunisia. Although the oil discoveries of the 1960s have brought it immense petroleum wealth, at the time of its independence it was an extremely poor desert state whose only important physical asset appeared to be its strategic location at the midpoint of Africa's northern rim. It lay within easy reach of the major European nations and linked the Arab countries of North Africa with those of the Middle East, facts that throughout history had made its urban centers bustling crossroads rather than isolated backwaters without external social influences. Consequently, an immense social gap developed between the cities, cosmopolitan and peopled largely by foreigners, and the desert hinterland, where tribal chieftains ruled in isolation and where social change was minimal.

Capital city:
Tripoli
Meaning country name:
After an ancient Berber tribe called Libyans by the Greeks and Rbw by the Egyptians. Up to and until the country's independence, the term "Libya" generally applied only to the vast desert interposed between the Tripolitanian Lowland and the Fazzan plateau (to the west) and Egypt's Nile river valley (to the east). With "Tripoli" the name of new country's capital and the old northeastern regional name 'Cyrenaica' having passed into obsolescence, "Libya" became the convenient name for the country, despite the fact that much of the Libyan desert actually forms part of Egyptian territory.
Description Flag:
The Libyan Independence Flag or Flag of Libya was the original flag of the Kingdom of Libya introduced in 1951 following the creation of the Libyan state in the post World War II period. It was originally created by Omar Faiek Shennib and approved by King Idris Al Senussi who comprised the UN delegation representing the regions of Cyrenaica, Fezzan and Tripolitania at UN discussions which resulted in a unified Libya in 1951.
This flag was adopted by the National Transitional Council and anti-Gaddafi forces and formally reclaimed as the country's national flag in the Libyan interim Constitutional Declaration issued on 3 August 2011, as a result of the Fall of Tripoli from the Gaddafi government in the Libyan civil war in August 2011.
National Anthem; Lybia, Lybia, Lybia
Libya, Libya, Libya (also known as Ya Beladi, "Oh my country!"), composed by Mohammed Abdel Wahab, is the national anthem of Libya. It was originally the national anthem from independence in 1951 until 1969 when King Idris I was overthrown by a Coup d'état led by Muammar Gaddafi.Gaddafi adopted the marching song Allahu Akbar as the national anthem of the newly proclaimed Libyan Arab Republic.In 2011 It was readopted as national anthem by the National Transitional Council.

يا بلادي بجهادي وجلادي
ادفعي كيد الأعادي و العوادي
واسلمي
اسلمي طول المدي إننا نحن الفدا
ليبيا ليبيا ليبيا
يا بلادي أنت ميراث الجدود
لارعى الله يداً تمتد لك
فاسلمي، إنا -على الدهر- جنود
لا نبالي إن سلمت من هلك
وخذي منا وثيقات العهود
إننا يا ليبيا لن نخذلك
لن نعود للقيود قد تحررنا وحررنا الوطن
ليبيا ليبيا ليبيا
جرّد الأجداد عزماً مرهفاً
يوم ناداهم منادٍ للكفاح
ثم ساروا يحملون المصحفا
باليد الأولى، وبالأخرى سلاح
فإذا في الكون دين وصفا
وإذا العالم خير وصلاح
فالخلود للجدود إنهم قد شرفوا هذا الوطن
ليبيا ليبيا ليبيا
يا ابن ليبيا، يا ابن آساد الشرى
إننا للمجد والمجد والمجدُ لنا
مذ سرونا حمد القوم السرى
بارك الله لنا استقلالنا
فابتغوا العلياء شأواً في الورى
واستعدوا للوغى أشبالنا
للغلاب يا شباب إنما الدنيا كفاح للوطن

Oh my country! With my struggle and my patience
Drive off enemies and mishaps,
And survive!
Survive all through, we are your ransom
Libya, Libya, Libya!
Oh my country! You are the heritage of grandfathers,
May God cast off any hand that would harm you
Do survive! We are for ever your soldiers,
If you survive we care not who perishes.
To you we give solemn pledges
That we, Oh Libya, will never fail you.
We will never go back to fetters, we have been liberated,
and we have freed our home country
Libya, Libya, Libya.
