Or you could have your picture taken with a goat - several are tied up each evening in Green Square waiting for children to come along and have their pictures taken"

    Though Libya is another Islamic country and member of Arab League, but as per my knowledge till date,Libya is not that harsh on women as other Islamic countries are.
    But when you look at these photographs you get to see that men enjoy their freedom in Libya but where are the women?
    Can't they celebrate?
    Where is a common Libyan woman?
    Where is she?How is her existence defined?
    time to think.........

    Hello, Monday's editor here.

    Apologies for the animal identification problems. I suspect the final photograph is of a young gazelle, or possibly an addax. No doubt this error will mean that a goat-awareness course will be available for our reporters very soon.

    Well I did think "that's a peculiar looking goat" but I didn't actually know what it was...

    Fascinating pictures -- I especially like the top one. But ditto the comments at 1.
