So far almost 12,000 people dead after Storm Daniel struck Eastern Libya on the weekend which caused two dams to crash and unleash torrents of water into surrounding neighborhoods.
On the tiny idyllic island we are fortunate to live, too many Barbadians are happy to navel gaze as the sand fills the hourglass. We have become so entitled by a manufactured lifestyle as we continue to live in our tiny cocoon, unconcerned with the many natural AND man made challenges being visited on our fellowman elsewhere on the planet.
It challenges the accepted belief that although one race; a human race, we struggle to live up to the label as being the most intelligent and civilized specie of life occupying the earth.
The blogmaster has been following the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Libya, specifically as it pertains to the lack of an agile global response by so called developed Western countries. The same observation we can make about Haiti in our back yard. It makes the blogmaster wonder – what if Barbados was to be swallowed by a disaster, how would the global community respond.Then again maybe, just maybe China would be our Knight in shining armour.
A quick scan of the local social and traditional media reveals that there is no discernible buzz about what is unfolding in Libya. What does this say about us?
So far almost 12,000 people dead after Storm Daniel struck Eastern Libya on the weekend which caused two dams to crash and unleash its torrents on surrounding lands. According to Aljazeera News the death toll is predicted to exceed 20,000.
There is some speculation about the reasons for the severity of the disaster. However, the blogmaster feels comfortable laying the blame squarely on the United States of America, NATO and allies for destabilizing a Qaddafi led Libya which eventually led to his brutal death in 2021. Similar examples in Iraq and Afghanistan can be cited, where Western forces invaded on some pretext and in the process destroyed physical infrastructure (ancient history) and disrupted a way of life of people practiced for centuries.
The blogmaster is no expert in geopolitics – this blog is a simple outpouring from the heart about the lack of respect high income countries continue to view Africa and the developing world. This combined with how ignorant too many of us are about where we have been relegated and our willingness to continue with disparate geopolitical policies in the Black diaspora.
Given Barbados recent attempts to forge closer ties with African nations, it will be interesting to monitor the reactions by our Foreign ministry in Bridgetown.
The photos are awful, and i can commiserate at the massive loss of life, but i bet they really, really miss Gadaffi right about now.

There is no more of a silence now than when the White people led by a bulling Obama were destroying Libya.
Afrikan peoples have suffered long and hard and nobody ever cared. Such suffering happens daily. Least of all those titular Afrikans, apologists for White people. Adjusted to injustice!
Those who here now pretend to, would prefer the presentation of the other cheek like dutiful slaves. Nobody wants to kill White, but Pacha!
Even as the big, mushroon-headed, deckie is most prescient.
Given the skiism with the Arabs now occupying Libya and their penchant to kick Black ass, Ghadafi was enlightened.
Ntr has a way of piling on pressures from all directions on any people more content to be slaves than to give all, even life itself, for raassoul freedom from White people.
An Afrikan suffering anywhere is an Afrikan suffering everywhere.
I was wondering, since politics geo or otherwise cant hold my attention for any length of time…….just how many of these Caribbean misleaders spoke out then about what happened in Libya.
…how many of them speak out against the brutally savage attacks on Afrikans, terrifying atrocities wreaked on them on their ancestral lands, including Libya, by arab occupiers.
…as i learn new overwhelming things, never knew much of it before, they cant say the same….but keep very quiet and say not a word….they dont say that much about Haiti either, and do even less.
As suspected, meteorologists are now linking the lack of security caused by White peoples’ invasion with the cause of 11K deaths by hurricane Daniel.

The Libyan War was instigated by UK who coerced France and USA to join, behind the scenes the Arab Spring was fed by West.
There is a reason why black people are held down, it is because of their strength and power and are deemed a threat if they become a strong global superpower.
Gaddafi was talking about African Unity and a United States of Africa and it is the next economic frontier with largest and fastest growth economically and also in population size. Even without Gaddafi his goal should still be pursued.
how many of them speak out against the brutally savage attacks on Afrikans, terrifying atrocities wreaked on them on their ancestral lands, including Libya, by arab occupiers.
..what i did not mention, these hateful terror attacks on Afrikans by vileminded racist arabs, happen DAILY, as they have for the last THREE THOUSAND YEARS….but no one speaks out against that…
..so in keeping things balanced and fair, those who dont know should educate themselves, the information is available, and it may open eyes to the realities of these situations..
What is also being distilled in certain spaces…local leadership on the coastal area were warned as recently as last year by a scholar, as warned for years by others, to maintain the dams, to avoid and minimize the knock on effects of this very happenance of the 2 or 3 dams bursting open and drowning everyone, and all warnings were ignored for years..people were asleep and had no warnings..now here they are.
..politicians have screwed up priorities and will always be failures…will always seek to blame others for their own shortcomings…i still see no use for any of them.
I will repeat for emphasis. When populations are more intelligent than the people they vote for, hire and pay as their servants…there is no use or need for servants pretending to be masters. We see it playing out in Maui….it’s the people mobilized, organized and taking care of each other’s needs so they can survive as a collective…as evidenced by the fundraiser held by various international artists last week…which can be found on youtube.
These people in Derna did not stand a chance…..best to hear it directly from the victims..

On the day of the catastrophe in Libya, CBS evening news international segment was about the rescue of a single man from a cave he voluntarily entered. On the day after the international segment was about an escaped convicted man being recaptured by police in the USA. I wonder who at CBC makes these decisions and why are these stories seen as more important to air in Barbados than the thousands of deaths in Libya and Morocco.
Morocco is another real disaster..
Put the blame re Libya where it rightfully belongs, a lot to go around. The people are saying what happened, they are right there…

And for those politicians pretending they care so much, but only leaking out info as it suits them, why not tell the whole island about the HAARP project. I keep hearing about its presence on the island…but… I myself know very little to nothing, am sure the entire population is deserving of that knowledge so they can protect themselves in the event of a disaster..
@ David,
The west wanted rid off Colonel Gaddafi; and they got their way. We all can now see the unintended consequences of their mad Machiavellian schemes: civil war, corruption and destruction . Under Gaddafi, Libyans had a very high standard of living.
The number of lives lost to this flood is truly horrendous. I empathise with the people of Libya. However, we should never forget that Arabs have had their foot on the necks of blacks for well over a thousand years. Their hatred for blacks is unrivalled. We know that the majority of Africans converted to the religion of Islam purely for self preservation after their continent was invaded by Arabs and their offspring – the moors. Blacks are viewed as expendable by Arabs and have been butchered by them for over the millennium.
Arabs and their followers have never regretted the deaths and destruction they have wrought on Africans. The Indigenous black Africans of Libya, sided with Gaddafi and were hunted down and lynched by their Arab brothers, some of whom may have drowned in this flood. David, be under no illusion, whenever an Arab and an African share the same space, the life of the African is under threat.
Arabs and whites tend to share the same lack of remorse in their mistreatment and killing of us black folks. We blacks need to empathise more for ourselves rather than empathise with other groups who have never had any love for us.
@TLSN
What is equally sad is the inability of the Black community to unite under one umbrella a la the Jews. A united Non Aligned (traditional) community could be an influential force to shape geopolitics?

I hope you do not think that am a racist. We have had over one thousand years of interaction with these people. Let us not run away from our history. Islam has been used as a tool of oppression by Arabs to subjugate black Africans. I have nothing else to add. Just go out there and do your research.
@TLSN
You can relax with your racket innuendo. In the one breath you mention how the West took out Gaddafi and in the other you post the above. Blacks have to unite and establish its power bloc given what we bring to the table. This constant divisive rhetoric will not do it, in fact it plays into the hands of the power elite who use it to fuel its war machinery and reinforce a bunker mentality.

@ David,
The black community can never be expected to unite. We are too subdivided with our slave history. We were brought over on the slave ship with disparate languages, cultures and communities. This was seriously compounded when the slave master prised opened the legs of the first slave female to impregnate. The consequences of this action determined which group of blacks would enjoy the most privileges. Factor in religion, the different European colonisers and their cultures ……… David their is no hope.
You mention the Jews. You are aware that this group of people oiled the wheels of the slave trade by offering finances to support the slave trade. Why do you think Barbados has the oldest synagogue in the Americas.
@TLSN
Why blame others for our failings if according to you this is we problem?
TLSN and Yolande’s views about muslims are disappointing and limited but are also 100% totally predictable and do not even deserve responding to.
45% of Africans are muslims. In USA Islam was a religion for Black Power.
Again, if you do historical research…arabs practice arabism…it’s a well defined but poisonous practice…..not the same as islam….there are books writren by real scholars on the topic…
any muslim worth their salt would tell you the same thing….better to speak to folks like Riza Islam who actually have the knowledge…
You cannot cover up the uncoverable…that only works for a time, then expires..certainly will no longer work in these times..
Some people need to google the definition of an occupier…then google what happens after they brutally, murderously invaded and occupied for 3000 years….all the evidence is available.
Am not here to convince a fella….who feels it, feels it….not interested in saving anyone from themselves…..everyone is responsible for themselves.
@ David
Boss, the bigger story here is that this has become the new global NORMAL. We have lived to see the time of unparalleled catastrophes being unleashed all over the world – with constantly upgraded ‘worst in history’ designations.
Do you think perhaps it may be time to look at, not ‘IF’…. but ‘WHEN’ our turn comes, how we will cope…?
It is only statistical chance that any of the systems that develop in the Atlantic targets NOT Barbados at cat 4+ strength…
….or that we experience 38+ degree days for a period
… or that the power goes off for a month
… or that the sewerage being temporarily pumped to sea is channelled in the wrong direction
…or….

“not to be meddling around with countries such as Morocco, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Arabs have always been an impediment to our development as people. We have learned nothing from our history as black folks. I forgot to mention ARGENTINA as well!!!”
And the whole of latin America that genocided Afrikan descents….No matter who wants to hide their heads in the arab sand, the matter has to be addressed…..3 thousand years is a very long time to suffer at the hands of such terrorists…
for the last 2 years my African Online sites and Kush Quarterly has carried articles based on research from as far back as the 1800s about these toxic interactions marinated in savagery and dished out to Afrkans by occupiers…..and every one of their incoming generations….every article in Kush Quarterly has a timeline of events…
..let them pretend while others find solutions to end this millennia crime against our people on the continent.
All I can say at this point…the information is available about the danger arabs represent to the Afrikan descended in the Caribbean, if they allow themselves to be lured to slaver countries.
David,
Very complicated, isn’t it?
@Donna
The world is a complicated place. In much the same way we struggle sometimes within our families and communities to find harmony, imagine the degree of difficulty when we have people from different cultures, backgrounds etc having to exist where avarice remains a deadly sin along with all the other human failings.
This is when they stole the land from our Kemetic ancestors and renamed everything……including themselves..then they attacked each other and arabized everywhere in those regions..
..this has nothing to do with islam…but mass genocide, colonization, racism and arabization….and Afrikans are worse off for it…..this info is online….the complete break down of what they did and still are, can be found on my sites…..it gets much worse, the savagery is legendary.
“From the Arab conquest to 1830
After the Arabs completed the conquest of Egypt in 642, they started to raid the Berber (Amazigh) territory to its west, which they called Bilād al-Maghrib (“Lands of the West”) or simply the Maghrib. In 705 this region became a province of the Muslim empire then ruled from Damascus by the Umayyad caliphs (661–750). The Arab Muslim conquerors had a much more durable impact on the culture of the Maghrib than did the region’s conquerors before and after them. By the 11th century the Berbers had become Islamized and in part also Arabized.”
Once we understand that everyone to varying degrees were and are involved in the same injustices and it’s counterproductive to try to romanticize or elevate any one group to sainthood, while demonizing others…. when they were and are all slavers….that everyone should know about, especially when Afrikans were enslaved for 2000-2500 years under this same group…..and only came to light because of persistent Pan Afrikanists and scholars who worked and still do tirelessly……who insisted we should know…kudos to them for their foresight..
..of course none of this is taught in the schools who claim they are so educated but omitting the dangers of slavery…..and the slavers who were then unknown….they never told us slavery still exists…under these types…..that’s why politicians can never be trusted.
It will be .a grave injustice attempting to lure Afrikan descents into a sense of false security and complacency.. ….when they remain in danger once governments continue to beg, borrow and depend…

Google and see what you find about aid to Libya and who is providing it.
Gadaffi was born in 1942 so he would have been 81 this year had he lived.
I doubt if he had been alive he could have done much.
Seems as though the disaster was caused by the authorities.

It was heart breaking to hear one man say he lost 30 members of his family, could not find them, families are close knit and tend to live in the same buildings or community. One could not find his wife and children..
Politics will be the death of people if they dont get away from it……2 separate governments always fighting each other…the people suffer…nothing gets done, everything is neglected while they let their egos and arrogance run wild….as fool politicians do..
@David et al, it will get exponentially worst we aint see anything yet. Climate change refugees will become the norm and those who want all de beach front land can buy up all for they will soon live in de sea. We can expect more clear air turbulence and even shorter flight times due to stronger upper level wind currents.
Those who like lawns should dig up de bloody lawns and plant some food for food prices will increase due to higher heat indices, droughts and flooding.Germination at my farm is not at the same level and more watering has to be done to kerp the plants within their heat threshold.
The monied believe they have sufficiient money to leave earth to live on another planet so to heck with the environment.
BTW the antiquated rule by TCP of maximum house height of 28 feet is outdated and now does not make sense….with all the extreme flooding. We need to understand Barbados has a very small land mass and to use it to grown housing horizontally rather than vertically will increase the propensity for flooding and may eventually cause social dislocation of many when expats buy up de limited land left.

The American led, Caricom fronted and Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda muscled hybrid war on Haiti, the vote at the UNSC, again had to be deferred for fear that the Russians and the Chinese, like they been doing since 2021, would have vetoed.
Contrived under the pretext that Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, who leads formations against widespread crime and violence and supports the transformation of the wealth and power distribution patterns which have crippled Haiti from soon after the revolution, is himself a gangster. Liars!
Empire’s aim is to maintain the status quo. At home and abroad.
So we have Mottley in Cuba “running with the hares’ but when she “hunts with the hounds” she is precisely the same devil China is confronting in the South Chins Sea – as an agent for a militarized empire just like the President of Taiwan Island, a province of China.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is a rather ‘cryptically’ informative point you have made there, TLSN!
The Sephardic Jews who settled in Barbados, were primarily from Brazil.
They were involved not only in the provision technical expertise in the promotion and development of the budding sugarcane industry in Barbados-with James Drax an early customer- but, later on, were extremely active in the importation and sale of African slaves to the ‘English’ planters as a profitable channel of trade.
The burning question is why the local loudmouths behind the call for reparations from the likes of Richard Drax are not making similar demands on the descendants of those Jewish businessmen who made their fortunes from the slavery business in Barbados.
Aren’t these ‘modern-day-descendants still living ‘sweet’ off the blood, sweat and tears of those imported black slaves and their descendants?
Is it because these same Jewish descendants are the movers and shakers in the modern Bajan economy and the financial backers of the two major Bajan political parties in their campaigns to continue to enslave, mentally, the black masses?
Those campaigners for Reparations for black chattel slavery in Barbados must focus also on this ‘class’ of exploiters of black slave labour.
Black people in Barbados will always be mentally and economically enslaved by other races (including the modern-day bloodsuckers from India) as long as they continue to be ensnared in the myth that God is a Jewish idol called Jehovah and he has an ‘European-looking’ son called Jesus who is their only saviour to carry them to the land of milk and honey instead of a God who gave them their black skin in the first place (beginning).

Miller ma boy, I have to tell you like Trump, “Wrong”!!!
The Sephardic Jews came from Spain and Portugal after 1492 when they were expelled.
They went to Holland which offered at the time religious tolerance. The Transatlantic slave trade did not exist but the Trans Saharan one was rocking!! Females were taken from Sub Saharan Africa a concubines and bred the Muslim armies that swept out of Saudi Arabia from the 7th century.
Were Jews involved. possibly.
Males were useless except as eunuchs and children of the concubines could be indoctrinated and become good soldiers.
The Jewish presence in Holland allowed the translators of the Bible in the 1500’s a resource of scholars in the Hebrew, the moving force behind the Reformation.
You see there the Biblical prophesy that the Jews would be scattered throughout the world before finally returning to Israel, happening after 1948.
You also see one of the reasons God made a covenant with the descendant’s of Abraham … to be the keepers of His Word. The non conformist sects arising out of the Reformation like the Quakers then spread The Word to all mankind, in-keeping with the John 3:16.
In 1628, Piet Heim captured the Spanish Treasure Fleet off Cuba, Matanzas Bay.
The Netherlands became wealthy beyond its wildest dreams and financed the capture of the Recife area of Brazil through the 1628 windfall.
It became a world power based on maritime trade. The Dutch East India Company grew in leaps and bounds. It had its own army and navy.
Some Jews in Holland then moved across the Atlantic to Brazil to settle after the Dutch took it in 1630. Holland and Spain were engaged in a religious war, 30 years war, 1618-1648.
The Dutch and the Jews were kicked out of Brazil in 1654 by the Portuguese and moved to Suriname where they had been settling and farming since 1639.
“Jews in Suriname were initially split into the more populous Sephardim concentrated in the Jewish Savanna, and the much later arriving and less numerous Ashkenazim at the Neve Salom synagogue (the only still functioning synagogue).”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Suriname
Jews had been expelled from England in 1290 under Edward Longshanks and only were allowed back in under Cromwell in the 1650’s, again, guided by Biblical prophesy relating to the Jews.
The Bible guided the Puritans and Quakers coming out of the Reformation.
@ John,
The Jews played a central role within the slave trade. Miller is correct in his assertion.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-culpable-were-dutch-jews-in-the-slave-trade/
Muslim slavery, European slavery and Atlantic Slave trade are incomparable and different animals where Muslim slavery was like having servants who were rewarded for loyalty and European slavery was not as racist as Atlantic Slave Trade with inception of white supremacy racism and industrialisation of shipping breeding and brutality where Barbados was the prototype for the wickedness. There is a special place in Hell for British and American slavers and racists and reparations are now due to free the souls of their descendants who inherited the sins of their fore-fathers. I posted the Brattle Report pro-bono but it was removed.
Kiki…must thank you for the Brattle report….it was timely and appreciated, i did share it everywhere including on the continent of Afrika to the Kingdoms and office of Presidents…before it was mysteriously removed.

But here is the truth about the horror and brutality of the arab subsaharan slave trade….you must research independently how barabaric, evil and savage it was and still is….it never ended.

We become the same victims of the exploitation we set out to detroy because we become too immersed in fifth form verbosity and then acccomodate the same enemy and end up discovering that they are skilled in making us make asses of ourselves.
Mottley , Barrow and company have been successful in protecting the same race from which we are now seeking reparations.
While we are shouting about the Jews ; the much herald Pier Head project is going to be essentially owned by the same Jews and we , will be the waiters and workers accepting crumbs from the table while spouting the same bullshit.
Pie in the sky excursions into fantasy land will not move our people one step forward to true economic enfranchisement.
A simple ten minute read of whose backs were broken on that same Pier Head will reveal who should now be given rightful and earned ownership. But we give it to the same people who broke our backs. And then with great pride call it economic development.

There are two types of bondage, physical bondage and spiritual bondage.
A slave can be free and a free man can be in spiritual bondage.
You miss the whole lesson.
Physical bondage has existed for millenia and still exists today. Similarly spiritual bondage.
The three times large numbers of humans were released from bondage were by God:
1) God sent Moses to release the Israelites in Africa in the 12th or 13th century BC after they had served Pharoah as slaves for 400 years and supplied the blessings of the Old Covenant with Abraham and his
2) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, the New Covenant.
3) God directed the translation of His Word from Latin to all languages so that anyone could read His Word and choose not to perish but have everlasting life. The instruments he used were His chosen, the Jews who were responsible for keeping his Word. He then sent out the Quakers and others to spread His Word. Along the way they and others also served as His instruments in ending physical slavery.
While we are shouting about the Jews ; the much herald Pier Head project is going to be essentially owned by the same Jews and we , will be the waiters and workers accepting crumbs from the table while spouting the same bullshit.

So what did he do when he went to Mecca?
“Financial considerations were not an issue for Mali Empire ruler Mansa Musa in 1324, when he traveled to Mecca in fantastic fashion, bringing along 60,000 subjects and 12,000 slaves, 500 of whom each carried about 3 kilograms of gold. The caravan also included 80 to 100 camels, each bearing 136 kilograms of gold.”
Mansa Musa’s wealth was measured in gold and slaves. castrated and concubines, which he took to Mecca.

What was the reason behind Barrow’s decision to allow for the importation of minority groups, with a history of undermining the black race, to settle in Barbados after independence in 1966?
Some of you would have been familiar with the video clip that I sent concerning the Zanzibar revolution. This revolution could be described us an orgasm that took 3000 years in the making, where Africans had enough of being victimised by their Arab oppressors. The presence of East Indians in this toxic mix should not be diluted. We should not forget the machinations of the Brits who would have been aware of the revolution that was to unfold.

Here is an unprecedented brutal film/documentary that depicts the horrors of colonialism and the vengeance of a people who cannot take more of been subjugated by minority groups. Barbadians should take note. The Jamaicans have a saying “if you’re not going to learn; then you’re going to feel it”.
John…no one wants to be held accountable for all that death and suffering, but when the militant arabs are ready, they will deal with them..

BEIJING, Sept 11 (Reuters) – Residual rains from former typhoon Haikui, now a tropical storm, drenched southern China for the seventh day as slow-moving storm clouds drifted from Guangdong on the coast to Guangxi, flooding low-lying areas, blocking roads and trapping residents.
In the rural county of Bobai in Guangxi region, rescuers on assault boats have scrambled to pull people to safety since Sunday night as water more than 2 metres (6.6 feet) deep stranded residents in low-rise homes, state media reported on Monday.

Bushman..
This is from a Pan Afrikanist I know on the continent.
Your PM is luring you into extreme danger.
Africa is in the process of long overdue awakening, thousands of years in the making ….this is turmoil and will be that way for a while….so those with ill intent for the continent…stay away..

“When we go to Zanzibar, all the magnolias there have a story, they represent black people beheaded for having looked at Arab women by mistake. However, in paradise, there are only seven virgins for the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. Are these virgins black, white or Arab? Another open question. Until we learn to use religion in a different way, so that we can repair the psychological and economic damage caused by Westerners and Arabs, success will not be easy to achieve in Africa. In fact, with the decline of charismatic leaders in Africa, many Africans have placed their hopes in prophets, pastors and imams, that is, in churches and mosques. This means that churches and mosques still constitute a vital network of formal organization capable of bringing our people together. If used well, all churches and mosques in Africa can significantly reduce poverty and create jobs for young people. By doing so, we will have solved half of our problems…”
David,
I am no expert, obviously, but it does seem as though the West is at its weakest at present. Look at its leaders! And that includes Trump.
It is indeed amazing how John always seeks to extricate the white, western world from its culpability in the destruction of any structure that threatens its dominance.
But….lest we forget…
There was a man called Gaddafi, leader of a relatively prosperous nation called Libya. This man conceived an idea for a united Africa, a concept that the West saw as a threat to its continued exploitation of African resources, and its place in the world.
This man, Gaddafi, had the charisma often needed for ideas to take root in the minds of ordinary folk.
For absolutely no good reason that can be fathomed by any, NATO forces invaded Libya, bombed his compound, killed his relatives and engineered his brutal assassination.
What happens next is chaos in Libya, as such leaders are few and far between.
So Libya is left in the hands of the idiots that ignored the warnings about the dams.
And we hear that Gaddafi would be eighty-one years old and therefore hardly be of any use. Yet this same John would have a seventy-nine year old (as he would be in January 2025) be the champion dictator of the United States of America and trust him to Make America Great Again.
Even so, even if Gaddafi were useless at this time, who is to say that he wouldn’t have foreseen the danger of those dams and all failing infrastructure, and dealt with the matter a decade ago?
Remember, Libya was quite capable of handling its affairs before the NATO invasion. The fact that they saw it necessary to take him out proves it.
And now they come, as usual, with their meagre “aid” after creating the conditions that caused it to be necessary. And, of course, it will never be enough to put Libya back where it was when they invaded.
Who does this John think he is fooling with his pretzel logic?
@Donna
An adjunct to you point is the simplistic view that a western styled democracy must be exported to countries practicing others forms of government. Homegrown governance systems should be allowed to evolve based on their unique circumstances.
Is it a time for non aligned countries to flex?

“Prisoners ‘widely regarded as hostages’
Lyse Doucet
Chief International Correspondent
At long last, this rare moment of co-operation is unfolding.
We’ve just been told that the five American prisoners have arrived at Tehran airport; it is about a two-hour flight until they land at Doha International Airport.
It is a deeply controversial deal, highly complex, but also very compassionate.
US President Joe Biden has vowed to bring all Americans home, including these five Americans who also hold Iranian passports.
The US describes them as “wrongfully detained”, but they’re widely regarded as hostages, used by Iran as bargaining chips.
Iran can’t access that the money, which has arrived here in Qatar this morning, Iran can’t access that directly – only third parties can use it for food and medicine.
This is the end of a deeply painful, personal ordeal.”

People taking matters into their own hands.
The Bride of Dracula seems to have entirely missed what is going on there.
Politicians seem to be in real trouble, the mayor of Derna had his house burnt down.
Decided to give her a couple of days to see just how interested she is in Libya and Libyans and she has not disappointed.
They should have dealt with their leaders decades ago.
