Ghaddafi as vampire By Riber Hansson Sweden Riber The wave of popular demonstrations that began in Tunisia in December is now spreading in Bahrain and Libya, where, in recent days security forces have killed and wounded dozens of unarmed civilians who were protesting against countries' their undemocratic, dictatorial regimes. This cartoon
by Schrank The Independent on Sunday sums up the moral blindness of official Britain's arms exports to those countries. For British companies last year were granted licenses for the export of weapons being used now against the crowds, a number of oppressive regimes, including Libya and Bahrain.
In this cartoon by Dave Brown
from The Independent, the Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's camel is portrayed as a stubborn, refusing to move despite being pushed from behind by a crowd of people. The hump camel hides inside a gun, which fafuoco on people who are trying to make it move.
The comic is a metaphor for the determination of Gaddafi to hold on to power by ruthlessly cracking down on anti-government demonstrations.
Unlike his Egyptian counterpart, President
Libyan Muammar Gaddafi is determined to use violence in an attempt to cling to power amid protests calling for his resignation as governor of the BBC nazione.La
complaint has reached the point to fire on demonstrators from warplanes.
Meanwhile, cartoonists around the world have done excellent work on the Libyan dictator ...
For example, Paul Thomas
from The Daily Express shows Gaddafi in his military uniform. However, instead of the usual
medals and other military insignia , there are three rows of skulls, a symbol of the massacre of innocent citizens.
Garland in The Daily Telegraph
reinterprets one of the famous photo of the wreckage after the plane '
Lockerbie bombing (for which Libya is largely responsible). The wreck is now equipped with Gaddafi's face, to symbolize his fall from power.
Gaddafi Martyr
This cartoon by Thomas Paul
from The Daily Express refers to the speech
Muammar Gaddafi on TV in which the Libyan leader besieged by denying the suppression and blood, including new reports of death squads
, and the insistence he would die at home rather than go abroad. "I'm not going to leave this earth," Gaddafi has promised. "I will die as a martyr at the end ... I still, defiantly. Muammar is a leader of the revolution until the end of time."

This cartoon by Garland
by The Daily Telegraph was inspired by the bizarre 'Col. Gaddafi
interview umbrella 'on Tuesday (see photo
), when the besieged Libyan dictator appeared on state television under a large umbrella, looking out from the front seat of a van.
video The cartoonist drawing reinterprets the scene with the umbrella Gaddafi torn apart by strong winds.
The caption is 'Wind of Change'. 'Wind of change'
The term is used to describe a fundamental shift in power or politics, an inexorable current not under the control of the leaders. The phrase was popularized in its present context by the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan In a speech to the South African Parliament, February 4, 1960, talking about the future of Africa: 'The wind of change is blowing through the continent.
' Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact. '
(Source: The Phrase Finder ) This cartoon by Paul Thomas from The Daily Express shows British citizens returning from the war-torn Libya. The joke is that instead of the usual hand luggage, led boxes full of gasoline with them because the price of petrol is set to rise in Britain (and elsewhere) because of the crisis in the Middle East. (In fact, Libya is responsible for only 2% of world oil production, although its share of the European market is estimated at about 10%).
