Over the past few days U.S. supported Libyan rebels, and the western media have reported a huge convoy of dozens of vehicles with hundreds of pro-Gaddafi forces entered Niger.  Some reports even said they had tons of gold!

The reports say the convoy drove through Niger into Burkina Faso, where Gaddafi might have been offered asylum.

The problem is that the government of Niger says only four vehicles, with 18 people, came into their country!  On top of that the government of Burkina Faso says there is no way they would offer Gaddafi asylum: “We cannot grant him asylum because for the past three years we have not had good relations with him. We don’t see why we would stick our neck out for him and create problems for ourselves.”-Alain Traore, Burkinabe government spokesman

Always the information from the Libyan rebels and the western media is so wrong!?!

As if to back up the claims by the governments of Niger and Burkina Faso, on September 7 the Libyan rebels asked Niger to block any access to pro-Gaddafi forces: “We have sent a delegation today that is going to Niger to talk … about securing our borders to stop any kind of infiltration of Gaddafi troops to Niger, to stop any attempt by Gaddafi or his family to escape to Niger.”-Fathi Baja, head of the NTC’s political affairs committee

Now why would the Libyan rebels make such a request after swearing that a huge convoy of pro-Gaddafi troops, and even Gaddafi himself, had already crossed into Niger?
