Those who gathered in May to participate in the Oslo Freedom Forum see, through the eyes, of Mr. Eljahmi.

In the end, those who oppress the likes of Vladimir Bukovsky, Armando Valladares, Paiden Gyatso, Harry Wu, Kang Choi-Hwan, Leyla Zana, and Elena Bonner, will be worn out. For the hammer is always worn out by the anvil, and the dissidents are represented by the anvil. Why? Because those who are being oppressed are more in touch with the immaterial, than those who oppress.

It sure makes you wonder what’s really going on – both in and behind the power structures. Let me give you an example. We recently spent some time in Turkey talking to people from the Former Soviet Union who are expressing the desire of many Turkic minorities there to become independent… A few days after our short and rather innocuous conference, the Russian Consulate protested to Turkey, asking them to ban reporting on the conference. Is Turkey a partner with Russia in a struggle against its own Democratically-minded Muslim brothers? http://www.rferl.org/section/TatarAnaBashkortostan/166.html

True,tyranny is such an ever-present temptation to governments and ever-present threat to the people under them that a freedom fighter anywhere is a fighter for freedom everywhere. I wonder as our rights and liberties slip away in this country where are the Fathi Eljahmis.

Unfortunately, the MSM is deaf to anything that does not fit into their agenda. In other words, this story isn’t newsworthy enough, but selection of the new White House dog is more appropriate. And, then they wonder why we have stopped buying their product.

“May we find ways in hard times ahead to keep faith with this hero. In giving his life for the cause of freedom, Fathi Eljahmi fought not only for the future of Libya, but for all of us.”

We will try. If we cannot match his courage, at least we may match his tenacity.

What a sad day for Libya. A great story of a great man that will sadly be overlooked by the MSM. I’m sure one day Fathi will be remembered and honored properly in a free and democratic Libya.
