Libya Is About To Get A Lot Worse If ISIL Has Its Way
An excerpt from, "ISIL building ‘army of the poor’ in Libya by offering African recruits up to $1,400" by Colin Freeman, The Telegraph, February 2, 2016:
ISIL is building an “army of the poor” in its new haven in Libya by
recruiting footsoldiers from Africa’s poorest nations, intelligence
chiefs have warned.
The terror group’s Libyan chapter is swelling its ranks by offering
cash bounties of up to $1,400 to people from impoverished neighbouring
countries such as Chad, Mali and Sudan to join them. In countries where
many earn less than $2 a day, even a few hundred dollars is the
equivalent of a year’s salary.
Libyan officials admit that they are almost powerless to stop the
incomers, many of whom reach Libya using existing people-smuggling
routes used by African migrants heading to Europe.

Col. Ismail Shukri, head of military intelligence in Misrata, said
that around 70 per cent of ISIL’s army in Sirte was made up of
non-Libyans.
“The majority
are Tunisians, while the rest are made up mostly of
Sudanese, Egyptians and then people from the Sub-Saharan countries
stretching from Chad and Nigeria, along with a few from Algeria and the
Gulf,” he said.
“Sadly, we have big open borders and long open areas, and through the
routes for illegal immigration, we now have all this ideology coming
through.”
An excerpt from, "Ayesha Gaddafi as a new leader of resistance against NATO and the Libyan terrorists" by Maja Orlic, South Front, February 1, 2016:
She is back! The daughter of Muammar Gaddafi will lead the resistance
against NATO and the other Libyan terrorists. Ayesha stated that she is
now the leader of the resistance and she is about to create a new
secret government.
Ayesha Gaddafi become the new leader of the resistance at a crucial
moment for the country – on the eve of the new NATO intervention. As a
Lieutenant General of the Libyan army she swore loyalty to order her
legendary father and urged Libyans to wake up in order to win, to be
successful and to “return the Jamahiriya government”.
Ayesha Gaddafi guarantees that in the next few months she will form a
“secret government” of “famous Libyans,” who are loyal to Gaddafi and
that will act as a mediator in Libya and abroad. Analyzing the current
situation she criticized the former army because of “a crazy mix of
anarchists” who decided to wage war on a principle “I fight for whoever
pays me more.”
