Monkey pulls off girl's headscarf, sparking violent clashes between mortar-wielding tribes in Libya - Polidicks

[quote]A monkey pulled off a girl’s headscarf sparking violent clashes that left 16 dead and dozens injured, according to reports. Tanks, mortars and other heavy weapons were used by the warring tribes during four days of fighting in the Libyan city of Sabha. The monkey, that belonged to a shopkeeper from the Gaddadfa group, reportedly attacked a crowd of schoolgirls who were passing by. The animal allegedly pulled off one of the girls' head scarf leading the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate by killing three people as well as the monkey.[/quote] [url]http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/monkey-pulls-girls-headscarf-sparking-9297381[/url] :pudge:

what the fuck

This is one for the record books. How could you even use this as an excuse to start a full scale conflict?

Holy shit what the hell

A bit of an overreaction, don't ya think?

sounds like people were just looking for an excuse to fight

Most random title of the year award goes to..............

Monkey see monkey do?

I thought Libya was supposed to be on the path to stability now.

you could say people are a little tense

Biggest overreaction to anything as of 2016. Either it's an overreaction, or this was used as an excuse for a big clash. A big, pointless, lead-filled clash.

2016 can't end soon enough. Just hope that 2017 will be better.

This is almost unbelievable; it feels like it's from a comedy anime or something; monkey causes the death of 16 people.

[QUOTE=amorax;51401421]I thought Libya was supposed to be on the path to stability now.[/QUOTE] It looked like it was, once. Extremists ruin everything though. The only thing the Arab Spring has taught me is that if a crazy dictator starts bombing his people, we need to just stay out of it. It sucks, but the alternative has proven to be worse every time.

Another monkey dead and the year hasn't even fucking ended. What the fuck.

This is the fucking definition of 'that escalated quickly'. Monkey pulls off headscarf -> mortar the fuckers. Like what the fuck guys, I think that might be a [I][U]bit[/U][/I] of an overreaction.

I mean there is obviously more behind the story here. But it makes for a damn crazy headline.

[QUOTE=CarnolfMeatla;51401702]2016 can't end soon enough. Just hope that 2017 will be better.[/QUOTE] 2017 is on track to be even worse than this year. Nothing but doom and gloom now, boys.

:suicide:

World War I started as a result of the assassination of a royal clansman. World War III will start because the fault of a damn monkey.

What else would you expect from a third world scythehole?

war on monkeys fucking incredible

It almost sounds like the plot to a bad movie... only that, in the end, it actually happened... It sounds as far fetched as those nazzis holding out in a castle with a bunch of their own prisoners, some americans with a tank called Jenny along with a tennis star player which just happend to be there against other nazzis. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Castle_Itter[/url] Immagine having some grumpy villagers revealing your position to some americans because they are bored of the war.

"that escalated quickly" would be an understatement

[QUOTE=CarnolfMeatla;51401702]2016 can't end soon enough. Just hope that 2017 will be better.[/QUOTE] 2017 will be worse or as bad, it never get's better ever

idk guys, this seems perfectly reasonable to me!

Wow. This is like a bad plot for a comedy movie How can this be real?
