As Libya falls into a crisis and possible civil war, there is a risk of great bloodshed for the people of that long suffering country. But for many Americans a bigger concern is whether gas prices could rise, as high as $5 per gallon.

Libya is a major provider of oil, and as the unrest throughout the Arab world threatens to spread, it is worried that oil may stop flowing to the rest of the world, and that lack of crude oil could make gas prices rise exponentially, leaving Americans paying much more at the pump.

Libya, and $5 Per Gallon Gas?

If political unrest in Libya spreads to other oil-rich countries and the ensuing chaos disrupts crude oil production, gas prices could hit $5 a gallon by peak summer driving season, industry analysts said.

Benchmark crude oil prices soared Monday, increasing about 6 percent to $95.39 a barrel for April contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange as violence and a military crackdown spread in Libya, the first major oil-producer hit by a burgeoning anti-government movement. The increased violence prompted BP and Norway's Statoil to pull oil workers from the country.

Eight African musical superstars have joined forces, on a mission to share their continent's music with a global audience. They have formed a pan-African supergroup, called ONE8, which has been tipped as one to watch this year by U.S.-based Billboard magazine -- the music industry's bible on what's hot and what's not. The group is set to release its debut album next month. The ambitious project has brought together diverse musicians from eight African countries, many of whom are huge in their homeland but relatively unknown elsewhere. "It's new urban Africa, it's fresh, it's liberating and most importantly it's positive," said ONE8's Amani, a Kenyan singer who won the MTV African Music Award for Best Female Artist in 2009.
