Here’s yet another reason I am
hesitant to say that Libya has entered the post-Gadhaffi
era.
On Sunday, Libyan rebels had claimed they had arrested three
of Gadhaffi’s sons, Muhammad, Saif al-Islam and Saadi. But last
night, Saif al-Islam
appeared outside of a hotel in Zawiyah and was greeted by
pro-Gadhaffi supporters. While it is true that Gadhaffi’s eldest
son Muhammad had been captured by rebels he then
escaped, apparently assisted by one of his rebel captors. So
who is to say that the rebels have Saadi in captivity? Of course,
nobody knows where Muammar Gadhaffi is.
Suffice it to say, it’s a very fluid, volatile situation
over there and thus it is far too soon to state
conclusively that the Gadhaffi era has come to an end.
