بدأ الدعم العسكري مع بداية الانتفاضة بإرسال كتيبة مكونة من 300 رجل

يقول  قادة الثورة  : إن قوات من النخبة التشادية  تشارك على نحو متزايد إلى جانب القذافي, بل إنهم هم من يقودون العمليات على  الخطوط الأمامية للمعارك, والأدلة على ذلك كثيرة؛ فقد أشار موقع  تشاد أكتويل  (Tchadactuel), المعروف بسعة اطلاعه, إلى دخول هؤلاء الجنود التشاديين إللى مدينة اجدابيا , القفلُ الأخير قبل بنغازي. كما أرجع أحمد باني المتحدث العسكري باسم الثوار, منذ أسبوع, هزيمة قواتهم  إلى  وجود أعداد هائلة من التشاديين : " لقد اصطدمنا بآلاف من قوات الحرس الجمهوري التشادي".

يَحمل التكتيك الجديد لقوات القذافي , المتمثل في استخدام وحدات متحركة تَستقل سيارات 

بيك آب, بصمات محاربي الصحراء التشادية, الذين أحسنوا استخدام هذه التقنية الجريئة 

خلال أربعين عاما من الصراعات الداخلية, والخارجية.

أول كتيبة من ثلاثمائة رجل.

يتعلق الأمر, بحسب عدد من المصادر, بمساعدة فين الدولتين؛ إذ يبدو أن هناك  كتائب من الحرس الجمهوري يرتدي أفرادها زيَّ الجيش الليبي , ويقودها  مسؤولون تشاديون كبار. لكن لماذا هذا التدخل التشادي المباشر؟  شكرا للقذافي الذي ساعد النظام التشادي بالسلاح, بحسب ما صرح به أحد قادة المعارضة لصحيفة الشرق الأوسط, في أثناء هجوم 

مجموعة مسلحة على العاصمة في عام 2008 "

لقد نفت السلطات التشادية ذلك بشدة, وهو ما صرح به عمر يحي أحد مستشاري الرئيس التشادي إدريس دبي قائلا: "لم يتم أسر أي جندي يحمل الهوية التشادية".  من جهة أخرى, لا يخفي الرئيس التشادي تأييدَه القذافي, الذي يُهاتفه كل يوم, بحسب ما صرح به لمجلة جون أفريك , كما أنه عارض التدخل الدولي في ليبيا.

لقد بدأ الدعم العسكري, بحسب مصادر اللوفيغارو, منذ بداية الانتفاضة, بإيفاد أول دفعة من ثلاثمائة رجل, نُقلوا من وحدات مُتمركزة في جمهورية أفريقيا الوسطى , وفي أحد مراكز التدريب, وأُقْلع بهم من أبشا, وامجريس في شمال شرق تشاد. أما عن استقبالهم فقد تم في سبها, الواقعة في الجنوب الليبي, والتي توجد بها قاعدة عسكرية كبيرة, قصفتها طائرات التحالف في وقت لاحق, من قبل السفير الليبي في تشاد.

مرتزقة قدموا من جميع أنحاء أفريقيا

يبدو أن ضربات القوات الغربية قد سحقت أغلب هذه القوات, كما أن بعضهم قد هرب إلى مصر.  ثم قامت عناصر أخرى, أكثر تنظيما, بالمجيء إلى ليبيا عبر البر, منها الفرقتان الأولى, والثالثة من الحرس الجمهوري, اللتان حضرتا إلى ليبيا في مجموعات صغيرة, مكونة من سيارتين, أو ثلاث؛ لتجنب جذب انتباه المراقبة الجوية.

جرى أيضا توظيف عناصر من قبيلة تشادية قريبة من الليبيين, كما كانت السفارة التشادية في ليبيا أحد مراكز توظيف المرتزقة في عين المكان, حيث بدأت بتوظيف عدد من أبناء الجالية التشادية في ليبيا, ثم  باستخدام عدد من  المواطنين الأفارقة القادمين من كل أفريقيا السوداء, القارةِ التي  يَجمع المؤيِدينَ للقذافي فيها خَليطٌ من الولاء القبلي, والمصالح المالية, والحسابات طويلة الأجل.

Mines pose new danger as Libya battles rage on

By Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International’s crisis researcher

 

As fighting continues between forces loyal to Colonel al-Gaddafi and those opposed to his rule for control of the strategic oil-rich region west of Ajdabiya, yet more families are being displaced by the conflict.

Evidence that al-Gaddafi’s forces have laid anti-personnel mines – which are internationally banned on account of the grave danger they pose to civilians – beside the main road on the outskirts of Ajdabiya, not just anti-tank mines, has heightened concern for the safety of local residents and people travelling in the area.

The anti-personnel mines were discovered only by chance when an electricity company truck drove over and detonated two of the mines on the morning of 28 March, just two days after Colonel al-Gaddafi’s forces had been forced to retreat from the area.

‘AbdelMina’ im al-Shanty, the company’s operations director for eastern Libya, told me that electricity supply workers had been dispatched to the area to repair power lines damaged during the two-week siege of the town.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the blast, thanks to the sturdiness of the truck, but if any of the workers had stepped on the mines they would almost certainly have lost limbs or worse.

Anti-personnel mines are banned internationally and must not be used anywhere or under any circumstances. That these anti-personnel lines were planted close to a significant population centre and in area of frequent passage is even more reprehensible.

Army officers opposed to Colonel al-Gaddafi who are now involved in trying to clear the area of these mines have told me that they were laid in neat rows, buried in the sand between the line of electricity pylons and the tarmac road, only meters off the main road running eastwards from Ajdabiya to Benghazi and a few hundreds meters outside Ajdabiya’s eastern gate. This is the main route between Benghazi and Ajdabiya and to the western half of Libya.

Opposition colonels Abdel Jawad and Mahjoub told me that they were not familiar with anti-personnel mines and that all those that had been found have now been destroyed. Another soldier showed me the disposal operation, which he had filmed on his mobile phone.

The danger presented by this particular set of anti-personnel mines has now been averted but their deployment close to Ajdabiya obviously raises the question whether such mines have also been laid elsewhere by Colonel al-Gaddafis forces. If so, they will pose a significant additional risk to local residents and others who are fleeing the conflict and, later, to those who subsequently try to return to their homes once the fighting has come to an end.

For now, while the conflict continues, experts are unlikely to be able to gain ready access the area in order to assess the scale of the problem and help reduce the possible risks, and the opposition fighters generally lack the know-how and experience to do it even for themselves – all of which leaves residents and people moving about in the areas directly affected by conflict with yet another potential danger lurking over them.

The oil town of Breiqa, located about 220km west of Benghazi, has been at the centre of the fighting in recent weeks and is now virtually emptied of its inhabitants.

For a time, a few of the town’s residents remained, mostly locked down in their homes and cut off from the rest of the world, but even these have now left.

One such family that I spoke to yesterday told me that they will not go back to their homes in Breiqa while forces loyal to Colonel al-Gaddafi continue to remain in and control Sirte, several hundred kilometres to the west, because of the danger they are seen to present to Breiqa and other towns between Sirte and Benghazi.

Judging by the way the fighting has been going, it seems unlikely that this family and others can expect to be able to return to their homes any time soon. One has almost lost count of the number of times that control of Breiqa and the area around it has changed hands in the last few weeks in the fighting between pro and anti-al-Gaddafi forces.
While this pattern remains unchanged, with forces loyal to the Colonel al-Gaddafi forces and opposition fighters each, in turn, advancing and retreating from Breiqa and its surroundings, the displaced residents have little prospect of being able to return to their homes and a sense of normality once again.

“Most of the time we don’t know who controls the town and we cannot trust anyone. We fear that each side may suppose that we support the other side, those against whom they are fighting,” one person told me.

“Every time al-Gaddafi’s soldiers come back there is yet more fighting. It has become far too dangerous to remain although we were also very frightened to take to the road and escape from the town with so much fighting going on around us.”

Such fears were certainly justified, as people were shot at and killed and injured by the Libyan leader’s forces while they were fleeing from the area of conflict.

Even the city of Ajdabiya, which is further away from the present frontline and which has now been back under the control of those fighting against Colonel al-Gaddafi for the past 12 days or so remains largely empty of its residents as people are still too wary and anxious to return.

Some of the people who have been displaced from the area of fighting have found shelter with relatives and friends in towns and villages further east along the Libyan coast, as far east as Tobruk, while others are staying with strangers who generously opened up their homes to them in their hour of need.

Driving between Ajdabiya and Benghazi during the past few days I saw several people standing by the roadside holding up large notices on which they had written: “hospitality offered to families from Ajdabiya”.

Then, yesterday, when I was in al-Bayda, between Benghazi and Tobruk, I met a family who told me that they had been forced to flee from their home and had been on their way to the Egyptian border but had decided instead to stop and stay at al-Bayda when residents there opened their home to them and insisted that they stay with them.

Sadly, this heartening informal solidarity network can only accommodate so many and other less fortunate families have been sheltering in the desert, not knowing when they will be able to go back to their homes or whether their homes will still be standing once their present nightmare is finally over.

مرتزقة روسيا البيضاء مع القذافي

مرتزقة روسيا البيضاء من المحاربين القدامي قال أحد المرتزقة من روسيا البيضاء إنه يتقاضى نحو ثلاثة آلاف دولار أميركي شهريا لمساعدة قوات العقيد معمر القذافي في قتالها ضد الثوار، وكشف عن وجود مئات آخرين من مواطنيه يقومون بنفس الأمر. وأضاف المرتزق واسمه الأول ميخائيل إن زملاءه لم يشاركوا بالقتال الفعلي لكنهم عملوا مستشارين وكانوا دائما موجودين على الخطوط الأمامية للجبهة. وأشار إلى أن كثيرا من مواطنيه كانوا محاربين قدامي في حرب الاتحاد السوفياتي السابق بأفغانستان بين عامي 1979-1989، وكانوا من القوات الخاصة العاملة بالخطوط الخلفية. وأشارت ديلي تلغراف -نقلا عن صحيفة كوموسومولسكايا برافدا الروسية- إلى احتمال أن المرتزقة من روسيا البيضاء كان لهم دور في المرونة غير المتوقعة للجيش الليبي. وكتبت الصحيفة "يبدو أن المستشارين من روسيا البيضاء تمكنوا من الحفاظ على تنظيم وانضباط الجيش الليبي ولقنوهم كيفية استخدام الأساليب المتحركة ضد الثوار وكيفية التعامل مع النشاط الجوي لحلف شمال الأطلسي (ناتو) ويبدو أنهم هم الرابحون حتى الآن". وأضافت أنه كان بليبيا خمسمائة مستشار من روسيا البيضاء قبل اندلاع الحرب لكن البعض قد تم إجلاؤه منذ ذلك الحين. ومع أن ميخائيل قال إنه كان يعمل مع الليبيين كمقاول خاص إلا أنه لم يتضح ما إذا كان بعض المستشارين الآخرين منتدبين رسميا من القوات المسلحة لروسيا البيضاء أو أنهم كانوا قتلة مأجورين. وهناك شهود عيان بليبيا يزعمون أنهم لمحوا مرتزقة من روسيا البيضاء يقاتلون بجانب قوات القذافي، لكن وزارة خارجية روسيا البيضاء نفت هذا الزعم، وادعت أن هذه مجرد شائعات زائفة القصد منها تشويه سمعتها. يُذكر أن روسيا البيضاء، جمهورية سوفياتية سابقة عرفت بأنها آخر ديكتاتورية بأوروبا، كانت على علاقة وطيدة وطويلة مع نظام القذافي. ويشير رئيسها ألكسندر لوكاشينكو إلى العقيد الليبي بـ "الأخ معمر".

Belarus mercenary are helping Gaddafi forces'

 Belarus mercenary 'paid £1,900 a month to help Gaddafi forces'

A mercenary from Belarus has spoken of getting paid £1,900 a month to help Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces fight against the rebels and said there were "several hundred" of his compatriots doing the same thing.

The mercenary, who only gave his name as Mikhail, said he and his colleagues did not take part in the actual fighting but acted as advisers and were always present on the frontline. He told Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda that many of his fellow Belarusians were veterans of the Soviet Union's 1979-89 war in Afghanistan and often had Special Forces backgrounds.

The paper, which reported that Nato's tactics were being frustrated by Col Gaddafi's forces, claimed that the mercenaries from Belarus were responsible for the Libyan army's unexpected resilience.

"It looks very much like the Belarusian advisers have managed to keep the Libyan army disciplined and have told them how to use mobile tactics against the rebels and how to deal with Nato air activity," the paper wrote. "For now the Belarusian partisans are winning!"

Five hundred Belarusian advisers were in Libya before the war broke out though some had since been evacuated, it added. While the mercenary named as Mikhail said he was working for the Libyans as a private contractor, it was not clear whether some of the other advisers were on official secondment from the Belarusian armed forces or also hired guns. Witnesses in Libya claim to have spotted Belarusian mercenaries fighting on Col Gaddafi's side but the Belarusian foreign ministry has angrily dismissed the alleged sightings as false rumours designed to tarnish its reputation.

Belarus, a former Soviet republic known as Europe's last dictatorship, has long enjoyed close ties with Col Gaddafi's regime. Its president, Alexander Lukashenko, refers to the Libyan leader as "Brother Muammar".

QADDAFI'S LETTER TO OBAMA

Qaddafi has sent a rambling three-page letter to Obama imploring him to stop the airstrikes, according to the AP. He also wished him luck in the 2012 election.
UPDATE: Here's the letter:

Our son, Excellency,
President Obama
U.S.A
We have been hurt more morally that physically because of what had happened against us in both deeds and words by you. Despite all this you will always remain our son whatever happened. We still pray that you continue to be president of the U.S.A. We Endeavour and hope that you will gain victory in the new election campaigne. You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action. I am sure that you are able to shoulder the responsibility for that.
Enough evidence is available, Bearing in mind that you are the president of the strongest power in the world nowadays, and since Nato is waging an unjust war against a small people of a developing country. This country had already been subjected to embargo and sanctions, furthermore it also suffered a direct military armed aggression during Reagan's time. This country is Libya.
Hence, to serving world peace ... Friendship between our peoples ... and for the sake of economic, and security cooperation against terror, you are in a position to keep Nato off the Libyan affair for good. As you know too well democracy and building of civil society cannot be achieved by means of missiles and aircraft, or by backing armed member of AlQuaeda in Benghazi.
You, yourself, said on many occasions, one of them in the UN General Assembly, I was witness to that personally, that America is not responsible for the security of other peoples. That America helps only. This is the right logic.
Our dear son, Excellency, Baraka Hussein Abu oumama, your intervention is the name of the U.S.A. is a must, so that Nato would withdraw finally from the Libyan affair. Libya should be left to Libyans within the African union frame.
The problem now stands as follows:-
1. There is Nato intervention politically as well as military.
2. Terror conducted by AlQaueda gangs that have been armed in some cities, and by force refused to allow people to go back to their normal life, and carry on with exercising their social people's power as usual.
Mu'aumer Qaddaffi
Leader of the Revolution
