After Egypt, it is now Libya's turn to seek the ouster of its ruler. But unlike Mubarak, Gaddafi, from all indications will not hesitate to use force on the demonstrators.So far, more than 230 persons have been killed in Libya in connection with the protest actions.
Oil workers in the Gulf of Sirte have gone on strike to force the government to listen to the people's ultimate demand of changing Libya's leader. But Saif Al Islam Gaddafi appeared on national television to warn protesters of the dire effects of their actions on Libya's economy. He too warned protesters that his father will use force to protect Libya against Islamists.
But despite the violence that Gaddafi and his men employ, thousands of Libyans continue to hold protest actions in key cities. Demonstrators remain undeterred in demanding that Gaddafi steps down. Libyans continue to hope that they will achieve freedom through their united stand against a dictator who has ruled the country for 42 years.
