Libya
After 42 years of being ruled by a single dictator, the people of Libya have finally had enough of him, which is the main reason why Libya is at unrest, they are trying to over throw Qaddafi. Qaddafi as mentioned in many reports still doesn’t not think there is a problem, in a few interviews he states “my people love me”, “my people would die for me”. The uprising started on February 15 in Benghazi, after a planned “Day of Rage” which was in response to a massacre of 1,200 Libyan prisoners that took place in 1996. Qaddafi then ordered to open fire on all protesters; this was known to the world because a lawyer of the name of Fathi Terbil set up a web-cam in Benghazi and filmed the violent attacks on civilians, the video then rapidly spread across the internet, and now many other nations such as United States, France, Britain are helping rebels to over come this struggle.

It is an unfortunate thing what is happening in Lybia. So much violence and death for one man. How sad is it for Quadaffi to hurt so many when he could just resign and end all of this. He needs to move on and let the Lybians take control of their own lives.
ReplyDeleteYea this is terrible, it was similar with mubarak in egypt, quaddaffi seems to be obssessed with power which never is good. Also, to be able to be a dictator for so long, there is something wrong in the system. The human rights like being able to select a new leader should have been enforced a long time ago.
