As if the already depressing international news is not enough, another conflict arises, and once again, in Libya.
The reason for a potential civil war is one man's objective to seize power. With an army of tremendous firepower, he is determined to take Tripoli, the capital..
This is alarming for Filipinos because we have a volume of overseas contract workers in Libya. The Philippines has already banned flights to Tripoli and has communicated the OFW's for flights back home.

With the volume of Filipinos we send abroad we should already have a blue-water navy by now in case we need to evacuate them when a conflict like this arises, sad fact is we don't even have enough ships to patrol our own EEZ and numerous islands

Hi louievill, can you still breathe?
I think my heart is ready to stop beating when I hear the ugly news every day. At EDSA traffic, I do my best to pray only the Joyful and Luminous mysteries because if I pray the Sorrowful, I'd die. The intentions are doubling heavy, as if the four mysteries instead of just one is required for daily prayer.
Glad you popped up here, please do the praying for the budget thing and the elections. I will concentrate on the wars and the kababayan in potential peril.
Hey, louivill, we can't coil and give up. Hold the line with all your strength.

@louievill You are right. Yes, we must pray together.
louievill, sigh, I think I almost wobbled there. But now that you are here, I know my prayers will be heard. Thanks for the faith and the courage, you are uplifting to the spirit.

Seizing power in not new to Libya and other Middle East countries. Yemen and Syria are war-torn. The people are of no consequence if one tough man makes it his goal to be in power.
Really praying for the quick repatriation of our OFW's
