Brink of Civil War 'Western puppets smash dreams of new Libya'

Some 200 Libyan protesters stormed the headquarters of the country's transitional government on Saturday in a show of frustration with the slow pace of national reform. But will their calls for post-Gaddafi transparency fall on deaf ears?


Two weeks of protests in the city of Benghazi -- the heart of the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi last February -- came to a head when protestors used grenades to blow the gates off the National Transitional Council (NTC) compound housing the interim government.

Libya could be on the brink of civil war, according to the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, following a weekend of political turmoil. That's after his deputy stepped down when Jalil suspended six high-ranking council delegates from Benghazi.

Adrian Salbuchi, international consultant talks to RT, suggesting it's Iraq all over again with the flag of democracy brought in to guard Western geopolitical interests and pump oil while the "invaded" nation's needs are ignored.

A spokesman for British Civilians for Peace in Libya, Sukant Chandan, says the national transitional council is failing to unite the country.
