Libyan Rebels tell to loyalist Gaddafi:

‘Surrender or face attack’

 

The ultimatum given by Libyan rebels to of deposed Libyan leader the loyalists Muammar Gaddafi, ‘Surrender or face attack’.

The rebels have claimed that they are closing in on Gaddafi. Rebels’ interior minister Ahmed al-Darrad sees the asylum granted to Gaddafi and his family by Libya as an ‘enemy act’. The rebels demanded that Gaddafi and his family, who were given shelter in Algeria should be returned to Libya.

Reporters touring Tripoli still saw chaotic scenes, including desperate motorists stealing fuel from a petrol station. In the capital's Souk al Jumma neighbourhood, about 200 people pounded on the doors of a bank, demanding that it open.

 

 

Rebel fighters were converging on Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, which is his main remaining bastion, some 400 kilometres east of Tripoli.

The rebels gave pro-Gaddafi forces there a deadline of Saturday - the day after the end of the Muslim holiday - to complete negotiations and surrender.

After that, the rebels will "act decisively and militarily," Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the head of the rebels' National Transitional Council, said on Tuesday.

Woman mauled new face shows by chimp

A full face transplant  of a woman in May after being mauled by a chimpanzee in 2009 revealed her new face in a photo released on Thursday.

Charla Nash, 57, who was photographed in her hospital bed at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, appears dramatically different with a new nose, lips and facial skin.

"I will now be able to do things I once took for granted," Nash said in a statement.

"I will be able to smell. I will be able to eat normally. I will no longer be disfigured. I will have lips and will speak clearly once again. I will be able to kiss and hug loved ones."

Nash was hurt after a friend's 200-pound (91 kg) pet chimpanzee went on a rampage two years ago. She lost her hands, lips, nose and eyes, leaving her blind and disfigured after the attack. The animal was eventually shot and killed by police.

Nash's full face transplant was the third surgery of its kind performed in the United States, all at the same hospital.

An anonymous female donor provided face, hands and other tissue material that made the surgery possible. The hand transplant was deemed successful but the hands did not thrive after complications from pneumonia and were removed.

The world's first full face transplant was completed in Spain in 2010.

The face of hungry and afraid a little boy in SOMALIA.

A little boy, hungry and afraid, at a feeding centre in the Horn of Africa: The face of famine

 A little boy from Somalia, where a terrible famine is unfolding.

As the launches a special appeal for the victims of the famine, he tells Osman’s story – the story of millions of children born into this unequal struggle.

 Dear Osman,

I helped to bury you last Saturday.

You were seven months old. You starved to death in a place called Dadaab, the world’s biggest refugee camp. Dadaab means hope.

A twig on a mound of earth marks your place among the scores of other children buried beside you.

We finished, some children played a game of chase through the graves. Life goes on. Ten children a day are being buried in places like the Carcass Dump, so take some comfort that you are not alone.

You don’t know me Osman, I’m the journalist who stood over your discolouring corpse, and interviewed your mother while she waited to bury you. Your twin sister, Kadida, was in your mother’s arms staring down at you with a confused and scared look in her eyes.

You were lying on a mud floor in a tiny hut built by your mother from tree branches and covered with bits of plastic for a roof. 

I’m sorry for getting emotional in the hut. As a journalist trying to tell the story of how children are dying here every day, I should have been professional.

After all, some 1,500 journalists from all over the world have been through Dadaab in the past two weeks and here we — myself and photographer Leon Farrell— were in a tent with an infant’s corpse.

 There are already more than 400,000 Somali emigrants in Dadaab’s three camps, even though they were only built to house 90,000 each in 1991, when your country had a civil war.

Farewell: Osman is laid to rest in Bula Bakti among scores of other children
