2011 Libya Protests

As protests continued, one of Gadhafi's sons gave an address on state TV saying, "We will keep fighting until the last man standing, even to the last woman standing."  There were some signs of dissension: The Guardian newspaper reported that several Libyan diplomats had "resigned in protest" and at least two "high-ranking" air force pilots in Libya had opted to defect to Malta, "rather than carry out orders to bomb civilians."http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/21/libya-pilots-flee-to-malta?intcmp=239

Peter Mokaba Stadium

Peter Mokaba Stadium is a South African venue which is among ten stadiums that will host games in the 2010 World Cup. It will host four group-stage contests: Algeria facing off with Slovenia on June 13; France versus Mexico on June 17; Argentina versus Greece on June 22; and, finally, Paraguay versus New Zealand on June 24. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/fixtures Peter Mokaba is one of the few stadiums that will not host a latter-stage game, so its participation will conclude with the June 24 game.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/fixtures

It was built right next to the site of the previous Peter Mokaba Stadium, which World Cup organizers had previously considered using for the event, before deciding to go with a new venue. It cost about $150 million to build, and it will seat almost 50,000 fans, including 5,000 VIP seats. The stadium's design, specifically the circulation ramps located at the stadium's corners, are based on the Baobab tree, which is famously prevalent in the region. http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/destination/stadiums/stadium=5007758/index.html Because the stadium is brand new, no team yet uses it as its home park, though there are plans to change that in the future.
