Libyan rebels have attacked the Kenya Embassy in Tripoli because they believe the country enjoyed close links with deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi and even supplied him with mercenaries. Separately, it has been established the UN in New York indicated that the Arab League rejected a UN offer for Kenya to lead a UN stabilisation force in Libya at the end of hostilities...
The latest attack on the diplomatic premises took place on Sunday, according to a Kenyan diplomat in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The diplomat revealed gunmen sprayed automatic fire at the mission, ransacked it, and attempted to rape a Libyan woman who works there.
But Foreign Affairs Assistant minister Richard Onyonka says the attacks are motivated by "general lawlessness" in Libya, and a belief among some members of the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) that "any dark skinned people are linked to Gaddafi"...
Reports reveal the attacks have been continuous and sporadic since the capture of the Libyan capital by anti-Gaddafi forces, two weeks ago...
The African Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kenya acknowledge that several attacks have been made on the Kenyan embassy, in the Siyehiya neighbourhood of Tripoli... According to AU Commission Chairman, Jean Ping, who spoke to South Africa's e-TV on Tuesday morning, the attack sprung from acts of racism and belief that sub-Saharan embassies in the Libyan capital supported pro-Gaddafi mercenaries.

I’ve posted this one first, but this is the last you’ll see in the Pass the Popcorn series of topics. :’)
Libya had high unemployment among the locals and millions of foreign workers. That resentment has finally let loose. The Europeans, Egyptians, Chinese, Turks, etc got out. The black Africans have for the most part been trapped.
I highly suspect these 'rebels' will need to be removed sometime down the line.
The situation is quite "fluid" as they say...
Funny, Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood buddies are having a field day jailing and killing thousands of innocent African Black Christians in Libya and....ditto for Egyptian Muslim brotherhood slaughtering Israeli Jews from Egypt!!! Some Arab Spring African Muslim, Obama has given the world!!! And......while innocent African Black Christians are murdered by Obama’s henchmen, American Black Christians adore this carryon of the true African Muslim Slave Traders that sold and sent so many Black Africans to other Muslim Countries and the New world as slaves. What a guy!!!! And....Obama holds millions of American Blacks in economic slavery!!! go figure!!!
Yes, but not by Obama. He has spent too much time and US military assets to install Islamists in North Africa. Strong Men like Qaddafi and Mubarak stood in the way of establishing a greater caliphate that include Al Qaeda AND the Muslim Brotherhood and which will unite in a attack on the Jews.
Bingo!
And notice he’s not doing so much to remove his pal in Syria that’s murdering off Syrians day after day.
Syria and Algeria are the last secular Arab regimes left. Bashir is no pal of Hussein -killed Syrians are of Hussein's ilk.
Hussein would attack Syria in nick of time if not for the Ruskies.
Ahhh, ok, thanks.
