Rebel flag is hoisted at the embassy in Brasilia. Libyans also protested against Brazilian diplomacy

After the announcement of the takeover of the city of Tripoli, the Libyan capital, the country's embassy in Brasilia replaced the old flag of the regime of dictator Muammar Gaddafi for the new band used by the rebels. The exchange happened on Sunday evening (21) and was maintained during the second Ambassador hitherto pro-Gaddafi, Salem Zubeidy. "This place [the embassy] is called the Libyan land, not land of the ambassador," the Libyan diplomat, Adel Swasy. Immigrants in the country from North Africa who live in Brazil to the federal capital were celebrating the fall of the regime. They are hosted at the embassy, ​​where the climate is much celebration. Unhappy with the way the Brazilian diplomacy "backed" the former government, they took to leave a message to the former president. "Notify the Lula to go and take their weapons to defend his close friend [Gaddafi], they need your help. And the Libyan ambassador in Brazil is seeking asylum in Venezuela," joked the Libyan Sadq Jamal. Information Sheet.
