Article Directory :: Politics & Government Articles Libya's Struggle By Basheer Kayali Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 01Mar2011 Word count: 424 Viewed: 474 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Muammar Gaddafi, president of Libya, and his supporters are in two fortified compounds in Tripoli, capital city of Libya, according to reports. Government mercenaries are on patrol shooting anyone who's on the streets. Bodies are scattered all throughout the city, say eyewitnesses. Gaddafi's son said that he and his father "will fight until the last drop of blood" in a speech he gave a couple of days ago. There are reports of ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity committed by government forces against peaceful protesters. Gaddafi is not going down without using everything he has to kill and massacre his people. After days of massacres in Libya by Muammar Gaddafi and his forces, the world remains relatively silent. Peaceful protesters being bombed, by military planes, and shot in the streets of Libya isn't resulting in any substantial change in the world's behavior toward the Libyan government. Sure, there have been several verbal condemnations toward Gaddafi's actions, but that's going to result in nothing for the people who are being massacred on the streets of Tripoli, Libya's capital. What does it take for people to feel another people's pain? you have more than a thousand people killed and thousands injured; Libyan soldiers who have refused to shoot their people were burned alive; pilots abanded their missions to bomb civilians and landed in nearby countries to demand asylum; and the list goes on and on. World powers couldn't agree to enforce a "no-fly zone" over Libya. They think "the time isn't right yet", when is the time right? when Gaddafi uses chemical weapons on civilian cities? What's the casualty limit have to be before doing something? I don't understand how world powers can act like what Gaddafi is doing is no big deal. The whole country of Libya has only 5 million people; keep Gaddafi in power for a few more months and we'll have a Libyan holocaust on our hands. Gaddafi needs to go and he needs to go now, and the world should be united on this issue, because if world powers can't agree on such a simple issue like this, then they won't be able to agree on anything. The days ahead are going to be long and painful, but I'm confident in the Libyan people, and I know they won't stop fighting until they achieve their goals.All our thoughts and prayers should be with the Libyan people in these difficult times. I'm a student at the Ohio State University and I'm interested in bringing awareness to people about events happening in the Midde East that don't receiver enough attention in the media.
