ahmed fakroun ya bladi أحمد فكرون يا بلادي

Ahmed Fakroun Singer songwriter Hailing from Benghazi, Libya, Ahmed Fakrun is widely considered the foremost pioneer of modern Arabic World Music. He has collaborated with numerous talented international producers throughout his career - including Papathanassiou Vangelis, Nicholas Nicorelli, Tommy Vance, Group Enod, Jean Ferre and Mark Harris - and recorded for world-class labels. An early childhood fascination with rhythmic harmony led to his choice, as first instrument, of the Fender Precision Electric Bass. This was soon flanked by harmonica, guitar and piano, as well as traditional stringed instruments such as the ud, the mandola and the saz. From the very beginning, he listened intently to music from every corner of the planet - from the Libyan desert and the temples of India to the Scottish highlands and streets of New York - absorbing a rich variety of influences that would lead to his unique, personal style... His first band, formed in1970 in Benghazi, played extensively at local school dances and events. Then, in England for five years of upper school, he made his first studio recordings with Tommy Vance, a producer for Radio Capital and the BBC. Joined by three English musicians, Ahmed started performing widely throughout England. Ahmed continued his pursuit of musical and cultural understanding and harmonizing of the world's heritages, returning to his homeland with the hit single - "Awedny (Promise me)" and "Nojoum Al Layl (Night Stars)" - that launched him to instant stardom in the Arab world. He was soon back in Europe, signing contracts with Italy's Ricordi label, the Polydor/Phonogram label (for whom he recorded his second single) and the Venezuela branch of the Columbia label. A major break was the single "Soleil Soleil" - recorded with the Bain Douche paris dic label during Ahmed's lengthy sojourn in Paris, promoted with a videoclip produced by Jean Battiste Mondino and starring popular comedian Coluche (winner of an Oscar in 1984) - which took off in France and many other European countries,winer of the festival youth in 1986 in Maroco. A. Fakroun has been producing - and marketing world-wide - new material on his own for many years now, from his well-appointed home studio , surrounded by all the latest in musical technology (the evolution of which he has always followed closely). This technology allows him to continue sharing his passionate vision of global musical friendship with fans everywhere.

A phone call from a Libyan in the UK who was able to call his brother.
by Libyan Youth Movement on Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 9:04am


Ok I finally got through to my older bro in Libya.

up to this date 27/02/11 Sirt, Sebha, Tripoli and unconfirmed but also Kufra are still not liberated.
Aid has been getting through from Egypt, other countries like Qatar.

as well as reports of foreign mercenaries there were also Libyan mercenaries. The confirmed minimum death toll in Benghazi is 800+ alone and national is 2,0000 + considering those figures there are many unaccounted for missing, and the solders who refused to fight were cremated and many are also unaccounted for, so the death toll could easily be double. there has been massacres in Zawiya and other cities in the west. One of our neighbours have been missing for 3 days then found in a fridge of the hospital who was unaccounted for. My brother has confirmed that Gaddafi has used chemical weapons. Right now there no more mercenaries from the Egyptian border to Ajdabiya. However there are gangs of them roaming around the countryside’s.

...

The food shortage has been sorted out there in the east at least with aid coming from Egypt, however communications are still poor, there is no Internet connection and the phones don’t always connect. There have been confirmed reports that the people have confiscated police and military vehicles as soon as they got a chance. One of my relatives has been a part of these operations.

...

People of the world at this point they need your Duaas/Prayers to bring down this oppressive regime once and for all… 27/02/2011

Gaddafi's son denies turmoil sweeping Libya: report
WASHINGTON | Sun Feb 27, 2011 10:11am EST

(Reuters) - The son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi denied in a U.S. television interview that turmoil was sweeping the country and said the military did not use force against the people, despite reports to the contrary.

There was a "big, big gap between reality and the media reports," Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, told ABC News' "This Week" television program. "The whole south is calm. The west is calm. The middle is calm. Even part of the east."

His assessment came despite media reports of more gains by anti-Gaddafi forces with the latest coming from the city of Zawiyah, only 30 miles west of the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

Saif Gaddafi also denied allegations that the military was targeting Libyan citizens.

"Show me a single attack, show me a single bomb," he said in the interview. "The Libyan air force destroyed just the ammunition sites. That's it."

Senators Lieberman and McCain discuss potential military option in Libya
By Emi Kolawole

...

"This is a real moment of choice" for the international community, said Lieberman of the world's reaction to Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi's violent response to anti-government protesters. Lieberman called for a no-fly zone over Libya and military assistance for protesters.

Asked if there was a military option for Libya McCain said, "I think there possibly could be." The security and safety of the American people "is our highest priority, it's not our only priority," he said.

"America should lead. The president should reverse the terrible decision he made to not support the demonstrators in Tehran," said McCain, criticizing the White House response and calling on the Obama administration to support calls for democracy in China.

...

On the subject of Israel's security as a result of the uprisings in Libya, Egypt and throughout the Arab world, Lieberman said he and McCain had met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who encouraged the United States to continue to support those calling for democracy throughout the region.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2011/02/senators-lieberman-and-mccain.html


Really Netanyahu? Really? You open Gaza now cause you know where this is heading. You heard the chants all over that were NOT reported in the US media. In every single freed country, there were loud chants that they're marching to Gaza to liberate it.

Liberate Gaza yourself now and get out of this in one piece.

Oh G, you're going down no matter what you do. And you too Berlusconi, Sarkozy and all your cronies.

French PM forced out today. Loved it. She sat there in stony silence as accusations of her complicity were hurled in her face. What a great thing to wake up to!

Zenga Zenga! :woohoo:

German president and Qatari emir: Libya bloodshed must end (Roundup)
Feb 27, 2011, 14:55 GMT

Doha, Qatar - ...

'The Libyan people must find a way to end the bloodshed,' Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani added, while also warning against foreign involvement in the internal affairs of states such as Iran.

The emir called on Germany and the European Union to support people attempting to overthrow oppressive regimes, saying there was no point in using Arab mediators to find a peaceful solution, as such initiatives had a 'miserable' success rate.

'The dictators in the world cannot be allowed to feel safe,' al- Thani said.


...

Kuwait and Qatar have so far been spared the wave of popular protests that has toppled the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt and is encountering violent state oppression in Libya.

...

http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1622343.php/German-president-and-Qatari-emir-Libya-bloodshed-must-end-Roundup



For the Emir of Qatar, Palestine is a central issue. A big part of his FIGHT with Mubarak was over injustice to Palestine and what perpetuating that injustice did to the region. There are so many human aspects of solidarity and rage against injustice to what's going on now. All the western analyses in the papers are still in denial.

I really hope Israel does the smart thing here and opens Palestine itself. They're scrambling to patch Hamas and Fatah together now but that won't do it. Free Palestine. Apologize. Throw tons of money at them and free it now. The people's anger towards that injustice, now compounded by what Libya just went through, can't be erased.

Libya lacks means to use chemical arms-watchdog
Sun Feb 27, 2011 4:12pm GMT

There have been fears that Gaddafi, who has said he will fight to the death, could use chemical weapons in a last ditch attempt to cling to power. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Sunday Libya appeared to have stocks of mustard gas, although it was not clear what condition they were in.

...

Libya joined OPCW in 2004 and committed itself to destroying all its chemical weapons and the capacity to produce them by April 29, 2007.

Disputes ensued between Tripoli and Washington over funding for the internationally-financed programme and in 2007 Libya informed the United States it planned to back out of its promise to destroy its mustard gas stocks.

The OPCW later granted Libya an extension until May 2011 to destroy the rest of its mustard gas stocks.
