Proof the Libyan Rebels are a Lie: Thousands of Libyans continue to flood into Tunisia

Despite the rebels controlling most of Libya, the number of refugees fleeing into Tunis has increased!

Tunisian media reports that prior to the rebel take over of Libya there were about 7,000 Libyans fleeing into Tunis every day.  Now that number has jumped to 9,000 per day!!!  And just at the Tunisian-Libyan border post of Ras El Jedir!

If the Libyan rebels are all about democracy and freedom, and representing the majority of Libyan people, why are there more Libyans fleeing now, than before the rebels took control?

Europe calling refugees “migrants”, proof that war in Libya not about protecting people

According to international law a refugee is a person who’s been forced to leave their home, due to war or other violence in their home country.  They are supposed to be given certain protections under international law.

The Europeans, along with the United States, were so keen on escalating the violence in North Africa (Libya), yet they don’t want to deal with the flood of refugees that are a natural result of war!  Instead the Europeans are calling the people fleeing the war, “migrants”.  In this way the Europeans don’t have the same legal requirements as they would if they called them refugees.

In fact, the Europeans are scrambling to figure out how to get rid of these refugee/migrants. The Europeans are even going so far as to dismantle one of the corner stones of the European Union, free travel across borders.  The EU is now considering adopting a law that would allow them to close their borders.

How hypocritical is this?  The “Western world” launches a war against North African countries, in the name of supporting freedom and democracy, and then they refuse to help any of the people fleeing the violence!

For those people out their who think the military action of U.S. led NATO is still about “protecting civilians”, please explain why refugees, ooops, I mean migrants are being treated like sh*t by the Europeans.
