They are a bunch of black mercenaries brought by Gaddafi from Chad, Zimbabwe and other African nations to kill his own people as most of the Libyan Police and army refuse to kill. It seems Gaddafi promised them money (some say $35,000 each).
It's a very big country with small population, led, as it looks, by a much crazier president compared to Tunisia and Egypt. I fear that things can last very long there and the number of victims will grow in tens, maybe hundreds of thousands, without foreign intervention.
There are reports of high ranking officers in Libya turning against Geddaffi, namely Abu Bakr Younis and El Mahdi Al Araby. If this is true, then Geddaffi's end might be nearer than expected. Still, these reports are unconfirmed up until now, but like i said, if true, this is big news.

Many analysts say that Gheryani's speech was the catalyst for the huge protests that happened in Tripoli in the past few hours.
