Blog Topic #9- Libya



There have been violent protests taking place in Libya for several months now. They began in February 2011 when around 500 people, in front of police headquarters, began chanting in protest. The police ended the protest through violent means which angered many and fueled the start of a rebellion. Libyan citizens want the reign of Muammar Gaddafi to end since they feel that they are being oppressed by his leadership. The Libyan people are rebelling in hope of dethroning Gaddafi and setting up a democratic government in Libya.
