Inshallah, all will be well. Libyans have survived embargoes and sanctions before. I was a child in Ras Lanuf during the last one. Life was terribly difficult but we endured. Of course, there was never such levels of violence. Mr. Q had complete control back then and no one would have dared protest him. Keep the faith.

I need to contact with people who are there to speack about their situation. If you could help me I'd appreciate it so much.<br />You can write me to PESCALADA@ELPAIS.ES<br />Thank you very much.PEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813734568162138199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760993.post-17475568550664283182011-02-23T17:03:02.087+02:002011-02-23T17:03:02.087+02:00Salam Highlander,

I know that sounds ridiculous in the mist of all that is tragically happening, but for us on the outside it's a sign of hope to get these updates. Of course, I can only imagine what you, your family and Libya are going through as I've not personally experienced it. However, I do understand the feelings of fear and heightened emotions. Forgive me for smiling, but it was great to read the humanistic part of your experience with your family being under one roof and at times getting on one another's nerves.<br /><br />On the other hand, I must agree with ChrisinMB, I see plenty of reports and hear talk from others of their pride for Libyans, Egyptians and Tunisians for effectuating change. There's prayer groups of different faiths praying for the citizens of Libya all over the globe. However, often times those things are not considered news worthy so don't get the due attention the rest of the world might need to see.<br /><br />Allah bless you and your family. Stay safe, inshallah.ibeebarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326063095961168443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760993.post-46429096673205271992011-02-23T12:59:38.312+02:002011-02-23T12:59:38.312+02:00Glad to hear from you!
Agree with Chris in MB.
Of ...Glad to hear from you!<br />Agree with Chris in MB.<br />Of course the economic news will mention any shift in oil prices, but I don't believe ordinary people around the world care much, and I think that even politicians are more concerned about the political situation.<br />Also, I do not think that professional psychological help would help the Libyan survivors. Posttraumatic stress disorder is incurable. Neither will all foreigners receive such a help. Citizens of rich countries probably will, those from poor countries will not.<br />Those who have lost or will lose loved ones will not need any damn therapist. They will need their loved ones. And because it is impossible to get them back, survivors will continue their lives crippled, as if some blast has destroyed parts of their body. Maybe imams can offer some help; if so, I'll admit there is some use of them.Maya Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877457709995369246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760993.post-51321715759295645072011-02-23T05:12:51.910+02:002011-02-23T05:12:51.910+02:00"The world is holding their breath but I'..."The world is holding their breath but I'm still not sure if it is caring about the Libyans or simply the cursed oil "<br /><br />I think you're being overly pessimistic there. News here anyhow has been all about 1) Gaddafi attacking his citizens, and 2) Mocking Saif's ridiculous & alarming speech. Oil was not the story, just mentioned briefly during market and commodity reports.<br /><br />I didn't even realize Libya had a significant amount oil! :PChrisinMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462562074295511462noreply@blogger.com
