World: Saif al-Islam Gaddafi may soon surrender to the ICC

  • Headed to the Hague? That may be the case for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the late Libyan dictator. Saif is wanted for war crimes, and may soon face the International Criminal Court for just that reason — according to Libya’s National Transitional Council, he’s willing to turn himself in to the ICC, which would be a very positive thing for proponents of international justice. source

World: Tripoli rebel siege: Don’t expect this to be an overnight thing, guys.

  • The tensions are far from being over. The situation is dynamic and complex.
  • NATO Col. Roland Lavoie • Emphasizing that the situation in Tripoli is far from over. You know, just in case you had any questions about it. A key sign of this was the reappearance of Saif al-Islam, a symbolic flash point that suggested to many that this wasn’t going to be an overnight change. Regarding the explanation on his sudden reappearance, rebel spokesperson Dia Alhutmany explained off earlier reports that he helped circulate about al-Islam’s reappearance: “Anyway, whether he is arrested or still free, the regime is no longer (ruling) the country, and very soon he and his father will be captured.” Either way, the fighting is still on. Much more to do. source
