can people in Yamen, Lybia and Bahrain do it?

He's appeared on state TV saying he's still in Libya. But he's finished, there is almost literally no chance for him now. He has lost the eastern cities entirely, most of his diplomatic leaders are abandoning ship and I can't see violence stopping the revolution at this point.

The violence is a brutal last gasp, but the military will probably abandon ship in the near future too - already there are strong rumours of mass defection.

 

 

Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan and others are just as interesting. It appears they may offer enough reform to stabilise their countries. It's still a victory for the protesters, just without the chaos.

The problem right now seems to be foreign mercenaries replacing the military. In fact, some military units are reportedly fighting the mercenaries hired by Gaddafi.

As some commentators are saying, it looks like Gaddafi saw what happened in Egypt (military refusing to shoot fellow citizens), and took the option of hiring foreigners to do the "job".

Let's hope the next dictator in a revolting country (there seem to be at least a dozen in the queue) doesn't take an even more radical option.

who are these foreign mercenaries,i think its disgusting,they should be named these armies for hire
