Operation Odyssey Dawn has begun.
US commander warns of Libya stalemate
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, has said the military operation in Libya called for by the UN Security Council is not aimed at regime change - adding that a "stalemate" could well exist, leaving Muammar Gaddafi in power.
The 64-year-old admiral also said that no-fly zone had "effectively been established", as Gaddafi's planes had not taken to the skies following Saturday's overnight shelling of dozens of targets in northern Libya.
"In the first 24 hours, operations have established the no-fly zone. French air planes are over Benghazi as we speak and will do that on a 24/7 basis. The operations have taken out some ground forces near Benghazi, taken out air defences, some of his control nodes, some of his airfields, I don’t have all damage assessments, but so far [it's been] very very effective," he said.
French jets resume Libya sorties
French jets have begun a second day of operations over Libya to enforce a no-fly zone against Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces.
The 15 planes patrolled Libyan airspace but did not open fire because they met no resistance, a spokesman said.
France also says Qatar is to about to deploy four planes to the operation.
The move would make Qatar the first Arab country to play an active part in the campaign against Col Gaddafi, who has been battling a month-long revolt.
Spain, Italy, Denmark and Norway have also committed more military assets, after more than 120 missiles were fired overnight against Libyan targets.
Libya: the Arab view
The Arab world has stayed largely mute in the face of the attack on Libya, a stark contrast to the strident opposition voiced before the last western assault on an Arab capital, eight years ago today.
Amid unrest and rebellion across the Middle East, a clear distinction has been made between the invasion of Baghdad and the bombing of selected targets in Libya. The former was widely condemned by many states who have had no such reservations over the bombing of Muammar Gaddafi's forces by US and European militaries

Timeline of the 2011 Libyan uprising
The 2011 Libyan uprising began on 15 February 2011 as a civil protest and has since become a widespread uprising. On 25 February 2011, most of Libya was reported to be under the control of the Libyan opposition and not the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi Gaddafi remained in control of Tripoli, Sirt and Sabha.

GENERAL ANALYSIS
(h/t lotlizard) Ninety Days of Uproar: Taking Stock of the Arab Revolutions
As the [Libyan National Transitional Council] was able to receive Arab and international recognition, the U.N. Security Council passed several resolutions that imposed a no-fly zone, froze much of the regime’s assets overseas, and imposed a travel ban on Gaddafi, his sons and cronies, while an investigation by the International Criminal Court has opened into allegations of genocide and crimes against humanity.
But the primary challenge for the opposition is in maintaining the real goals of the revolution, namely the establishment and insistence of an independent, free and democratic Libya, despite all foreign interference and regional pressures.
(h/t lotlizard) The new Arab awakening:
‘Neither with the West, nor against it’
These questions also apply to the EU, which has been compromised by its staunch support for Ben Ali and Mubarak. The EU was incapable of maintaining distance from dictators, has made many agreements with an Israeli government that is hostile to peace, and has promoted neoliberal economic policies that have worsened poverty and facilitated massive corruption south of the Mediterranean. Will it now have the courage to listen to the Arab street, which is not in fact a crowd of bearded fundamentalists and women in niqabs? Perhaps, as the Lebanese writer Georges Corm suggests, civil society in the North should follow the Arab example and “raise the level of protest against the dreadful neoliberal oligarchy that impoverishes European economies, creates too few jobs and every year forces more Europeans of all nationalities into insecurity. This backwards evolution benefits a narrow layer of managers whose annual pay eats up more and more of the nations’ wealth”.
ALGERIA
(h/t suejazz ) - Algeria's president promises political reform
Algeria is on the path to political reforms and last month's lifting of a state of emergency is the first step, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was quoted as saying by state media on Saturday.
The lifting of the state of emergency "will be a new page opened on the path to comprehensive reforms ... which cannot be fruitful in the absence of political reforms," the APS news agency quoted Bouteflika as saying.
Bahrain
(h/t suejazz ) - Life returns to streets of Bahrain after unrest
Shops reopened in Bahrain on Sunday and roads were busy again after weeks of protests and a state crackdown brought the Gulf Arab financial center to a near-standstill.
Masked soldiers still guard the entrances to the Pearl roundabout, focal point of protests. Diggers and trucks removed the last remnants of the Pearl monument there, which authorities have demolished after it became a symbol of the unrest.
The government plans to set up traffic lights in place of the roundabout, where only days ago protesters were handing out food and holding political rallies late into the night.
(h/t suejazz ) - Bahrain rights activist questioned by authorities
The wife of a leading human rights monitor in Bahrain says he has been questioned by security agents.
Nabeel's wife, Sumaya Rajab, says he was taken away by masked security officials early Sunday and released several hours later. She says the agents also confiscated computers, CDs and mobile phones.
Bahraini authorities are trying to crush a revolt by the nation's majority Shiites for greater political freedoms. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states have sent forces to help Bahrain's Sunni dynasty.
(h/t suejazz ) - Bahrain hospitals under siege as soldiers maintain Manama crackdown
Bahrain's two main hospitals remain surrounded by masked soldiers despite demands from America that the kingdom must ease its violent crackdown on demonstrators and the medical workers treating them.
Soldiers also continue to patrol all main roads in the capital Manama and have cordoned off access to the former hub of the protest movement, Pearl Roundabout, which was destroyed under government orders on Friday, denying the restive demonstrators a focal point.
The tiny Gulf state has the feel of a nation under siege as it approaches a second week of martial law imposed for three months by its besieged rulers. In addition to the troop presence, neighbourhoods remain largely empty; large, glitzy shopping malls have been virtually abandoned and helicopters regularly buzz over the debris-strewn scenes of recent street clashes.
Hospitals, particularly the Salmaniya medical clinic near the centre of town, have received extra attention, largely because of the significance they have taken on since the protests began in January.
As well as being used to treat hundreds of casualties, nearly all of them unarmed protesters, the hospitals served as rallying points for protesters, who took refuge from riot police in the relative safety of their grounds.
Salmaniya was one of several hospitals attacked by security forces during the week. Their entrances clearly show scuffs from rubber bullets and teargas canisters, as well as sound grenades were found well inside hospital grounds.
(h/t suejazz ) - Bahrain rights advocate says he was beaten, blindfolded and detained
The outspoken head of a Bahrain human rights group said Sunday that he was handcuffed, blindfolded and beaten when authorities detained him for about two hours.
Nabeel Rajab of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights said about 25 people in about a dozen cars pulled up to his house early Sunday morning and took him to the offices of the interior ministry's investigative department.
"They said that they were looking for a suspect who was armed and thought I might know him," Rajab said. "They beat me, punched me, kicked me, handcuffed me. Blindfolded me."
The government confirmed Rajab was arrested but did not provide additional details.
Rajab and his group have been vocal about the government's violent crackdown on anti-regime protesters.
Thousands of people have been demonstrating in Bahrain since last month, part of a wave that has spread through North Africa and the Middle East.
To quell the unrest, Bahrain called in troops from members states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Police also arrested several prominent opposition figures in armed raids and without warrants, Amnesty International said.
COTE D'IVOIRE
(h/t suejazz ) - Horrors in Ivory Coast
In Ivory Coast, an autocrat’s desperate bid to hang on to power has led to unspeakable atrocities and hundreds of deaths. Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven from their homes. The international community must move quickly to halt this terror.
The United Nations has 9,000 peacekeepers in the country. Another 2,000 are authorized and are urgently required to protect civilians. There can be no more delay in deploying them and more may be needed. Civilians should be allowed to seek refuge at United Nations and French bases (the former colonial power has troops there to support the mission). The United Nations should consider ways to jam the state broadcasting system, which is inciting violence.
decembersue has an excellent diary here. Good reading for those interested in this story.
Djibouti
(h/t suejazz) - Election observers quit Djibouti
An international election observation team funded by the US is pulling out of Djibouti after being declared “illegal” less than a month before the country goes to polls boycotted by the opposition.
Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, foreign minister, told the Financial Times the group had failed to maintain neutrality and that the country was seeking to avert scenes of “chaos and upheaval” similar to those across the Middle East and north Africa.
The tiny port state, ruled by the same party since independence in 1977, has faced a series of opposition rallies in past weeks as many have sought to imitate a wave of democratic fervour that has swept north Africa. At least one person was killed during protests in which police lobbed teargas at rock-throwing demonstrators on February 18.
Mr Ali Youssouf said the US group had several times exhibited “very very concerning behaviour”, offering food and water to demonstrators, carrying participants in their cars. On March 2, Djiboutian authorities declared the US group, Democracy International, “illegal”.
EGYPT-new
(h/t JustJennifer ) -
Egypt approves constitutional changes
Egyptians have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a package of constitutional amendments, according to official results released on Sunday evening.
Slightly more than 77 per cent of voters endorsed the amendments, the country's supreme judicial committee has announced.
Roughly 18 million Egyptians went to the polls on Saturday, a 41 per cent turnout. It's a better result than many past elections: The country's fraud-plagued parliamentary ballot last year had less than 25 per cent turnout, and possibly as low as 10 per cent, according to some sources.
IRAN
(h/t JustJennifer ) -
Iran calls on Saudi Arabia, UAE to leave Bahrain "immediately"
The National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iranian Parliament (Majlis) issued a statement in support of the Bahraini people and called on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to leave Bahrain's soil immediately, the Satellite Press TV reported on Saturday.
"The oppressed people of Bahrain are a part of the Islamic world and the Islamic Republic of Iran feels obligated to support them," the statement was cited as saying on Saturday.
IRAQ
(h/t JustJennifer ) -
Thousands Rally In Iraq Against Bahrain Crackdown
Reports say thousands of people rallied today across Iraq to denounce a crackdown on Shi'ite-led demonstrators in Bahrain.
Protests were reported in Baghdad's Shi'ite neighborhood of Sadr City and in cities and towns in the predominantly Sunni Diyala province.
JORDAN
(h/t suejazz ) -
Jordan charges 15 men with attacking anti-government protesters
Jordanian prosecutors say they have charged 15 men with attacking anti-government protesters last month.
Eight demonstrators were wounded in a Feb. 18 attack by pro-government loyalists wielding batons. It was the first incident of violence in the largely peaceful rallies in Jordan calling for a greater popular say in politics.
The government condemned the attack, saying Jordanians were entitled to the freedom of expression and assembly.
Prosecutors said Sunday that police were searching for four of the 15 suspects.
No trial date has been set.
If convicted, the 15 face up to eight years in jail.
KUWAIT
(h/t suejazz ) - Kuwaiti MPs to quiz premier over Bahrain troops
Kuwaiti Islamist MPs have decided to file to question the prime minister in parliament for not sending troops to Bahrain.
The announcement was made by Sunni Salafi lawmakers Mohammad Hayef and Waleed al-Tabtabai on Saturday night after a large gathering by Islamists to denounce the government "decision" not to send troops to Bahrain.
Kuwait has so far remained silent on the issue and it was not clear whether its troops have been sent or not.
The emirate's Shiite Muslim minority staged a rally on Thursday to thank the government for not sending troops to Bahrain to help the Sunni-led government crackdown on their fellow Shiites.
Hundreds of troops from the Peninsula Shield force of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council alliance were dispatched to Bahrain last week to assist the government against the Shiite-led protests.
Speakers at the rally, held just opposite the government office in Kuwait City, strongly criticised Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and blasted what they called Iranian meddling in Bahrain's affairs.
"The Kuwaiti people will not accept the orders of the Iranian leaders and is demanding that (Kuwaiti) troops are dispatched soon to Bahrain," Hayef told the gathering, and called on the premier to step down.
Islamist MP Jamaan al-Harbash said the protests in Bahrain were part of a "Shiite plot to control Bahrain," and accused Iran of being behind them.
LEBANON
(h/t suejazz ) - Thousands rally in Lebanon against confessionalism
Thousands of Lebanese held a protest in Beirut on Sunday, the third in less than a month, to demand an end to the country's confessional system.
Men and women of all ages set off with children in tow on a march from the residential neighbourhood of Ashrafiyeh to the interior ministry demanding "the fall of the confessional regime."
Between 6,000 and 7,000 people took part in the protest, the third since February 27. Another rally was held on March 6.
"I am here for the sake of a better future for my children. We are fed up. We want a better Lebanon," said Farah Ismail, a mother of two small children who joined her for the march.
Inspired by the success of uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, several groups demanding an end to Lebanon's confessional system have sprouted on the social networking site Facebook.
Lebanon's system of government is rooted in a 1943 power-sharing agreement along confessional lines adopted after the country won its independence from France.
Aimed at maintaining a balance between Lebanon's 18 religious sects, the agreement calls for the president to be a Maronite Christian, the prime minister to be a Sunni Muslim and parliament speaker a Shiite Muslim.
Other government jobs are also allocated according to religious affiliation.
The power-sharing arrangement has been blamed for most of Lebanon's problems over the decades, including corruption, cronyism and especially the devastating 1975-1990 civil war.
MAURITANIA:
(h/t mali muso) - Mauritania protesters want better salaries, lower food prices
Hundreds of people took to the streets after Friday afternoon prayers, demanding more jobs and decent food prices. What was initially meant as a peaceful protest, ended with protesters throwing stones at security forces and setting fire to car tires.
...
Protesters distributed bottles of fresh water to security forces surrounding them, while the authorities continued to deny any access to Blokat square. Demonstrators prevented Mauritania TV from covering the protests, fearing the station would use the footage for political propaganda. Protesters earlier complained about police women pretending to be journalists. The videos were reportedly used by intelligent forces to identify youth leaders and facilitate future arrests.
MOROCCO-new
(h/t lotlizard) Thousands in Morocco march for rights, end to graft
"Morocco should start drawing some serious lessons from what's happening around it," said Bouchta Moussaif, who was among at least two thousand people marching alongside the city's medieval walls in the capital Rabat.
Thousands joined protests in Morocco's main city, Casablanca, in Tangiers in the north, and in Agadir on the Atlantic coast where witness Hafsa Oubou said several thousands were marching.
A government official said at least as many were protesting as on Feb. 20 when interior ministry estimates were 37,000.
Unrest has swept across North Africa since December, toppling regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, prompting international military intervention against Libya, and protests in Algeria.
"The king did not meet the demands made during the first nationwide protest, that's why we are here again. He promised to reform the constitution and we all know how far those promises have got us," Moussaif said.
OMAN
(h/t suejazz ) - Workers at Oman oil refineries stage demonstrations
About 200 workers at two refineries staged demonstrations on Sunday, demanding higher wages, as a series of concessions by Oman's veteran ruler Sultan Qaboos bin Said have failed to quell discontent and unrest.
The protesters, along with those working in an oil field who went on strike last week, have complained that they are among the least-paid oil workers in the Gulf.
"We want higher pay, better pension, training, regular promotions and more Omanis in the management team," Mohamed Al Harthi, one of the protesters at the Muscat refinery, said.
The normally tranquil oil-producing nation at the mouth of the Gulf was stunned by protests last month that left at least one person dead in the industrial city of Sohar. [ID:nLDE71R041
Oman produces about 800,000 barrels per day of oil, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the sultanate's income.
The two affected refineries are the Muscat refinery, with an output of 85,000 barrels per day, and the Sohar refinery, producing 120,000 barrels per day.
The government has already declared it would double monthly welfare payments and increase pension benefits for citizens.
PALESTINE
QATAR:
(h/t UnaSpenser ) - Al Jazeera journalist killed in Libyan ambush
Al Jaber is the first journalist to be killed during the Libyan uprising generated a wave of spontaneous revulsion and anger. Outside the courthouse, the epicentre of the anti-Qadhafi revolt. Thousands gathered to mourn the loss of an intrepid journalist, and to reinforce their resolve to unseat the regime of the Libyan leader, Muammar Qadhafi.
“Here and now, Libyan and Qatari blood is mixed for the sake of freedom. Our condolences go to the Qatari people and the Al Jazeera channel” read a prominent banner held aloft by several young protesters. As the sun dipped over the Mediterranean and the lights outside the courthouse came alive, the Qatari national flag was raised from the top of the building.
Wadah Khanfar, Director-General of the Qatar based Al Jazeera channel said the network would not be silenced. The killing of Al Jaber, he said, came after Mr. Qadhafi launched an “unprecedented campaign” against the channel.

SAUDI ARABIA:
(h/t JustJennifer ) - Saudi king to announce reforms
Saudi Arabia's monarch will announce a government reshuffle, an anti-corruption drive and a promise to increase food subsidies to combat rising prices in an address to the nation, diplomats have said.
King Abdullah's speech - his first address since unrest began sweeping the Arab world - is expected after midday Muslim prayers on Friday, the state news agency reported.
The speech by the ailing 86-year-old monarch comes after several small demonstrations in the oil-rich kingdom. The monarchy could be worried about protests escalating into more intense gatherings.
Saudi diplomats, speaking to the Associated Press news agency on condition of anonymity, said the king plans to replace the ministers of defence, higher education and religious affairs.
SYRIA
(h/t suejazz ) - Syria: Fresh protests in southern city of Deraa
Thousands of people have been demonstrating for a third consecutive day in the Syrian city of Deraa.
Police tried to disperse protesters in the southern city, and one demonstrator was reportedly killed.
The protesters called for an end to Syria's 48-year-old emergency law, and for the dismissal of officials involved in a crackdown this week, reports said.
Violent clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces on Friday left at least four people dead.
The protests on Sunday came as a government delegation arrived in Deraa to offer condolences for those killed.
Activists were quoted as saying that police had used tear gas and live ammunition to try to clear the demonstration.
Roads into Deraa have been blocked and there have been military helicopters flying over the city, they said.
One activist told AFP news agency that one protester had been shot dead and dozens injured. Residents were also quoted by Reuters as saying one demonstrator had died.
(h/t suejazz ) - Syria to free child prisoners
The Syrian government says it will release 15 children whose arrest helped fuel several days of protests which have left at least five civilians dead.
An official statement released on Sunday said the children, who had written pro-democracy graffiti inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, would be released immediately.
The announcement came as thousands took to the streets in the southern city of Daraa for a third day, angered by the deaths caused when security forces shot into a crowd on Friday.
Residents said one person was killed and scores injured as security forces opened fire on protesters on Sunday.
"No. No to emergency law. We are a people infatuated with freedom," marchers chanted as a government delegation arrived in the city to offer their condolences for victims killed on Friday.
Al Jazeera's Rula Amin, reporting from Damascus, said the government was trying to contain the unrest, to prevent it from spreading to other parts of Syria.
"They've made very clear indications that they're going who are going to sack and dismiss local security officials who are responsible for those killings, and the governor of Daraa, she said.
On Saturday, Syrian authorities announced that they would establish a commission to investigate the violence.
Smaller demonstrations have erupted in Damascus, the central city of Homs, and the coastal city of Banias.
TUNISIA
(h/t suejazz) - Tunisia won't join military intervention in Libya
Tunisia will not take part in any international military intervention in its neighbour Libya, a government spokesman said on Friday.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a visit to Tunis on Thursday that talks were underway about Arab countries playing a direct role in a military operation against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to protect civilians.
"It is out of the question," government spokesman Taieb Bakouch told Reuters when asked if Tunisia would be involved.
"We will not take part in any military intervention against Libya, we will not take part in any way," he said.
(h/t suejazz ) - Clinton encounters frustration with U.S. stance on Arab unrest
At the height of the popular uprising in Tunisia, the Obama administration confronted a difficult choice: embrace a little-understood democracy movement, or side with a staunch ally who stood for three decades as a bulwark against Islamic extremism and al-Qaeda.
Three months later, U.S. officials are looking back on Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution with something akin to nostalgia. In the weeks since dictatorships were toppled in Tunis and Cairo, the changes sweeping the Middle East have brought only worsening violence and, for the White House, an array of bad options.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Tunisia and Egypt this week in a visit that was intended to show support for two countries where pro-democracy movements prevailed. But at each stop, Clinton was dogged by questions about looming crises in other countries where democratic aspirations have been met with brute force.
On Thursday, as she shuttled between meetings with interim government officials in Tunisia’s sun-drenched capital, Clinton conferred with European and Middle Eastern allies on how to stave off violence against anti-government forces in Libya, deal with a refugee crisis and respond to a deadly crackdown on protesters in Bahrain. In the case of Libya, the administration faced the prospect of either participating in military intervention in a third Muslim country or standing back and failing to prevent the possible annihilation of Libya’s fragile pro-democracy movement.
“There is no good choice here,” Clinton acknowledged during a town-hall meeting with Tunisian students and business leaders. “If you don’t try to take [Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi] out — if you don’t support the opposition and he stays in power — there is no telling what he will do.”
In a series of meetings with journalists, government officials and civil-society leaders, Clinton touted U.S. economic aid and business partnerships intended to foster private business development and job growth. Both countries have struggled with high unemployment, especially among youth, as well as a legacy of official corruption.
“We know there is a lot of work to be done but we are very confident about the potential for democracy and economic opportunity,” she said.
At the town-hall meeting, she praised the Tunisian uprising as a contagion that is inspiring people around the world. But she cautioned that building democracy requires sustained commitment.
“It is about building institutions and convincing people to work together even when it’s hard,” she said. “. . . The euphoria in the streets gives way to a grinding system that is needed to produce good results.”

YEMEN
(h/t Angry Marmot) - Yemen army urged to ignore orders, minister quits
Muslim clerics urged Yemeni soldiers to disobey orders and a third minister resigned after the gunning down of more than 50 protesters calling for an end to President's Ali Abdullah Saleh's rule.
Leading clerics said Saleh was responsible for the slaughter following Muslim prayers in Sanaa on Friday, the worst day of bloodshed in more a month of violent unrest.
"We call on the army and security forces to not carry out any order from anyone to kill and repress" demonstrators, a group of influential clerics in the deeply religious country said in a joint statement.
They also called for Saleh's elite Republican Guard troops to be withdrawn from the capital, where anti-regime protesters have continued a sit-in near Sanaa University despite a state of emergency called after Friday's violence.
