US biggest supporter of religious intolerance

The leaders of France and Britain travel to Tripoli on Thursday, in a show of support for the regime their warplanes helped put in power. On the eve of their visit, the head of the National Transitional Council asked for more weapons to fight pockets of Colonel Gaddafi's loyalists still in their strongholds. The rebel government thinks the ousted dictator is hiding in southern Libya and planning a fightback. However the new authority is asserting an increasing level of control over the country. The rebel government in Libya has a hard job ahead, with analysts warning that freedom and peace are a long way off. London based Middle East political analyst Dan Glazebrook told RT that with the new Libyan leadership Africa may face echoes of its colonial past.
