The revolution in Libya took down the Gaddafi regime, killing it’s figurehead tyrant leader, bringing the National Transitional Council to power. Meanwhile in Egypt, protests have been flaming up against the ruling military which has made clear it does not want any kind of 'transition' to democratic rule, and is repressing protests. This demonstrates that the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya are not yet over, and highlights the question of who is in power now, in whose interests, and what will come next.

The US government has announced that their special forces assassinated Osama Bin Laden on 01 May in north Pakistan. The vain self-congratulation by the leaders of the Western governments has rapidly descended into a shameless media spectacle, with each representative of the ‘free world’ keen to claim Bin Laden’s death as a ‘victory for world liberty and justice'.
