Detik terakhir Ghadafi telah hampir

27 Feb 2011 As more cities fall into the hands of the pro-democracy protesters, Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, is hanging on to the capital where security forces loyal to him seem to have a firm hold, even amid reports of sporadic gunfire. On Sunday, protesters had taken control of the city of Zawiyah, 50km from Tripoli, further shrinking the control of Gaddafi's government after the opposition took over most of the eastern part of the country. However, tanks were surrounding Zawiyahand locals feared an imminent raid by pro-Gaddafi  forces.

An AFP reporter arriving in Nalut,  24km west of Tripoli, found that Gaddafi's security forces had entirely disappeared from the streets. "The towns of Rhibat, Kabaw, Jado, Rogban, Zentan, Yefren, Kekla, Gherien and Hawamed have also been free for days. In all these towns, Gaddafi's forces have gone and a revolutionary committee put in place,"  Shaban Abu Sitta, a lawyer and member of a local committee, said.

"We have placed ourselves under the authority of the interim government in Benghazi," he explained, referring to the opposition council formed by former justice minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil in the east of the country.

Blaming al-Qaeda
In an interview with Serbian television, a defiant Gaddafi repeated his message that he will stay in Libya and blamed foreigners and al-Qaeda for the unrest that is threatening his 41-year rule. The interview with TV Pink in Belgrade was carried out over the phone while Gaddafi was in his office in Tripoli. The Libyan leader also condemned the United Nations Security Council for imposing sanctions on him and launching a war crimes inquiry. Gaddafi said the UN council could not see that the capital, Tripoli, was secure.

TERKINI: Libya bahaya dan tidak terkawal

25 Feb 2011 Fierce fighting has broken out in Tripoli, where the dictator has vowed to fight it out to the ‘last drop of blood’. Armoured units and mercenaries were unleashed on anti-government protesters yesterday with great bloodshed. Such is the concern in Whitehall that officials warn the British Embassy in Tripoli will shut early next week to protect the lives of diplomats.

Internal and international pressure is mounting on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to stand down from power as protests continue against his 42-year rule. Within the country, anti-government protesters said the demonstrations were gaining support, and footage believed to be filmed on Friday appeared to show soldiers in uniform joining the protesters.

Al-Jazeera in Libya reported on Friday that army commanders in the east who had renounced Gaddafi's leadership had told her that military commanders in the country's west were also beginning to turn against him. They warned, however, that the Khamis Brigade, an army special forces brigade that is loyal to the Gaddafi family and is equipped with sophisticated weaponry, is currently still fighting anti-government forces.

Crackdown after prayers

Those worries were compounded as security forces loyal to Gaddafi reportedly opened fire on anti-government protesters in the capital, Tripoli, after Friday prayers. Heavy gun fire was reported in the districts of Fashloum, Ashour, Jumhouria and Souq Al, sources told Al Jazeera.

The offensive came after Gaddafi appeared in Tripoli's Green Square on Friday, to address a crowd of his supporters. The speech, which also referred to Libya's war of independence with Italy, appeared to be aimed at rallying what remains of his support base, with specific reference to the country's youth.

An earlier speech, on Thursday evening had been made by phone, leading to speculation about his physical condition. But the footage aired on Friday showed the leader standing above the square, waving his fist as he spoke. In the rooftop address Gaddafi urged his supporters below to "defend Libya".

"If needs be, we will open all the arsenals. We will fight them and we will beat them," he said.. Intimidating: Libyan anti-regime protesters wave machine guns and ammunition confiscated from soldiers in Benghazi

Qardawi penjenayah: Presiden PAS gesa Najib bertaubat

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 Feb: Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang mahu Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak segera bertaubat ekoran melabel Ikhwanul Muslimin dan Sheikh Dr Yusof al Qardhawi  sebagai pengganas.

Presiden PAS itu dalam satu kenyataan berkata, beliau berasa sangat terkejut, kecewa dan teramat jengkel dengan tuduhan ekstrem yang diberikan Najib terhadap gerakan Islam antarabangsa itu.

"Tuduhan bahawa Islam cenderung kepada keganasan adalah fitnah dan orang tersebut mesti segera bertaubat jika dalam dirinya masih ada iman sebesar zarah," katanya.

Beliau mengulas kenyataan Najib sewaktu berucap pada satu program di Istanbul beberapa hari yang lalu.

Tambahnya, tuduhan yang dibuat Najib itu juga merupakan satu fitnah besar yang dibuat oleh golongan yang buta sejarah perjuangan menentang penjajahan dan bercakap mengikut selera hati golongan barat yang memekakkan telinga kepada kebenaran.

Beliau menegaskan, tindakan mengambil sikap dan pandangan setiausaha negara Amerika sebagai neraca menentukan jenis pemerintahan yang bersandarkan kepada Islam adalah tindakan orang yang tidak mempunyai jati diri sebagai seorang Islam dan sangat memalukan orang Islam itu
sendiri.

Ikhwan katanya, ditubuhkan untuk melaksanakan Islah dan tajdid berasaskan Al Quran dan Hadis, dengan memulakan perjuangannya secara
jalan damai dan tidak pernah menyerah kalah terhadap kezaliman musuh sehingga ke hari ini.

Mereka menyertai pilihanraya sejak awal lagi di Mesir, tetapi apabila pengaruh mereka tersebar luas, pergerakan ini diharamkan dan
pemimpinnya dizalimi.

Manakala Al Qardhawi pula adalah tokoh ulama berwibawa yang dilahirkan oleh Ikhwan.

"Dia berjaya meredakan golongan pelampau di kalangan pemuda Islam yang tidak sabar dengan kezaliman musuh sehinggalah mereka kembali ke pangkal jalan berjuang mengikut ajaran Islam yang sebenar," katanya.

Malah Malaysia sendiri katanya pernah memberikan Anugerah Maal Hijrah kepada beliau.

"Saya mencabar kerajaan Malaysia menarik balik anugerah maal hijrah yang telah diberikan kepada Sheikh Dr Yusof al Qardhawi itu," cabarnya.

Coca cola mengandungi ekstrak Kokain dan Alcohol

Berikut adalah penemuan resipi Minuman Coca cola yang dikeluarkan Jacobs' Pharmacy in Atlanta, diman Coca-Cola buat pertama kalinya dijual pada 1886.. The website, Thisamericanlife.org, said the 32-year-old article – buried on Page 28 of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – shows a photograph of a recipe purported to be an exact replica of Coca-Cola creator John Pemberton’s.


The recipe had apparently been written by a friend of pharmacist Mr Pemberton’s then passed down through the generations. A can of Coca-Cola currently simply refers to its specialist ingredients as ‘Natural flavourings including caffeine’ alongside carbonated water, sugar, phosphoric acid and colour (Caramel E150d).

He removed all the labels from the containers of the ingredients so they were identified only by the sight, smell and where they were put on the shelf.  A crucial part of the formula was also given the name ‘7X’ to add to the mystique. Mr Candler even used to go through company mail himself and remove invoices for ingredients so no one in the accounts department could sell the recipe to a rival.

‘The company has always said, and as far as I know it’s true, that at any given time only two people know how to mix the 7X flavouring ingredient,’ said Mr Pendergrast. ‘Those two people never travel on the same plane in case it crashes; it’s this carefully passed-on secret ritual and the formula is kept in a bank vault.’ In more recent times Coca-Cola has defended a string of legal challenges to force it to reveal its formula.

In 1977 it pulled out of India rather than divulge it to the government. The closest the company itself has come to divulging its recipe was the admission that it originally included cocaine, although the narcotic was removed in the early 1900s.

Kebangkitan rakyat Algeria, Kerajaan tutup internet & facebook

Internet providers were shut down and Facebook accounts deleted across Algeria on Saturday as thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators were arrested in violent street demonstrations. 7:25PM GMT 12 Feb 2011 Internet providers were shut down and Facebook accounts deleted across Algeria on Saturday as thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators were arrested in violent street demonstrations.

Plastic bullets and tear gas were used to try and disperse large crowds in major cities and towns, with 30,000 riot police taking to the streets in Algiers alone.
There were also reports of journalists being targeted by state-sponsored thugs to stop reports of the disturbances being broadcast to the outside world.
But it was the government attack on the internet which was of particular significance to those calling for an end to President Abdelaziz Boutifleka's repressive regime.
Protesters mobilising through the internet were largely credited with bringing about revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia.
"The government doesn't want us forming crowds through the internet," said Rachid Salem, of Co-ordination for Democratic Change in Algeria
Newspapers report on the upheavals over the border and there is only desultory blocking of a few opposition websites. Even in the cafes bordering Green Square, created to rival Moscow’s Red Square, televisions were tuned to Al Jazeera.

Mubarak: Saya tidak undur hingga diUSIR


Staying put for now: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak tonight told his people that he would not stand down until a new presidential election was held 
11 Feb 2011 Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak defied his country last night and refused to stand down.
Despite hundreds of thousands of people flooding into Cairo’s Tahrir Square expecting the 82-year-old to make way for a transitional government, he made it clear he was determined to cling on to power until elections in September.
In an 18-minute televised address he said he intended to remain in charge to oversee a ‘peaceful transition’ of power and ‘fulfil what I have already promised’.

Angry crowds jeered the president and waved their shoes in contempt as it became clear he was unwilling to submit to their demands for the end of his 30-year rule. Mubarak praised the young of Egypt and said the ‘martyrs’ who had been killed in the recent protests would get ‘justice’.

But Mubarak said he would not give in to ‘foreign interventions’ and added: ‘I express a commitment to carry on and protect the constitution and the people and transfer power to whomever is elected next September in free and transparent elections.
‘As president I don’t see anything wrong to hear the youth of my country and to respond to their demands but I will not accept at all any diktats by foreign countries.’

Senior Brotherhood leader Mohammed Mursi said the group was sticking to the protesters' main condition that President Mubarak stand down.
They are the first known discussions between the government and the Brotherhood in years, suggesting the group could be allowed an open political role in the post-Mubarak era.
Some opposition leaders met with Mr Suleiman over the weekend, but said they had been no breakthrough.

The leadership of Egypt's ruling party resigned today - but despite reports President Hosni Mubarak had joined them and stepped down as leader, it was later confirmed he is clinging to power.
It comes as the country was on the verge of descending into chaos as newly appointed vice president Omar Suleiman reportedly survived an assassination attempt and saboteurs allegedly attacked an oil pipeline.
The balance of power hung precariously as demonstrations against President Mubarak entered their 12th day - and the army was beginning to reassert control on the streets.
The mass resignations come just days after Mubarak said he would not resign immediately – because he feared there would be ‘chaos’.
