Here is an email we received from an associate in Libya on Feb 17, 2011. Name and contact information has been omitted to protect the author’s personal safety.

Benghazi is in chaos. Total loss of control. FB seems to be shutting down.
Pro demonstrators armed with guns and swords and local military support in Tripoli. Cons being attacked and sent off by police.
This…is just the beginning.
I just wanted to get the word out that Libya is heading towards something that Allah only knows where it will end.
Several people have been shot by local military, and there are talks of hired militias from Chad stabbing and killing opossition protestors.
I don’t know what’s gonna happen. I don’t know how long it will take. I don’t know anything at this point. All I can say is that I don’t expect communications to stay up anytime soon.
All I ask is that u send out as much support content as u can. FB, twitter, YouTube, anything! U won’t hear anything much on the news because of the iron grip hold of the media by the government. So ALL news is coming from whatever people can post at those social media sites (for the time being)
Wish me luck, pray for us all, hopefully we’ll meet again some day.
