The eyes of the world if focused on Libya for now as she probably remains the only Arab nation that is fighting and killing its own people most of whom have rebelled as a result of the ongoing revolution and dissatisfaction in the Middle-east. Some call it the "light from Tunis" as it was from Tunisia the protest began from a people who were seeking for change and progress for their nation as well as future of their children in a country that has held them back economically and socially for many years. Most people especially the young ones who are in the majority have taken up protests and even violent campaigns against their governments in countries like Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria.
It seems that Egypt and Tunisia were the best examples of a civilized revolutions and Egypt was really a great example for both leaders and citizens to follow. The war in Libya was really not necessary and there is no going back now as the government headed for over 70 years by Gaddafi already has a lot of blood in its hand. Gaddafi has not really showed any signs of giving up rather he is willing to die a martyr. It would have been nice if Gaddafi has just resigned at the start of the protests like Mubarak did but he just held on to power and supported violence against his own people. Already the eyes of the world is on Libya and have already given recognition and support to the rebels who have formed their own parallel government. It seems that the outcome of this long war with Libya's Gaddafi and his men may though be bloody will still end for a victory to the people of Libya. The leader Gaddafi is currently wanted by the ICCC for crimes against humanity.A brief about Muammar Gaddafi is the he came into power when he overthrew King Idris in a 1969 in a bloodless coup. Kind Idris was the leader then when he negotiated for Independence for Libya at Benghazi. It is quite ironical now that Benghazi is equally the stronghold of this current Libyan revolution and Gaddafi has tried many times to crush them there without much success. It would be hard to thing that the people would now be chickened out or fall back after having lost a lot of their families and friends in the civil war. How do you think the war in Libya will end?

Whether Gaddafi likes it or not majority of the Libyan people want him out and he has no other option than to obey the voices of the people.Before him was Libya and without him there will still be Libya.NO one man is greater than his country. Let not the attractions or benefits of an office create in people the madness to want to cling onto power at any cost including wasting of human lives.Gaddafi has ruled for 42 years that should be enough for him to have honourably step aside when his people demanded.

NOW PEOPLE NEED CHANGE TO PARTICIPATE AND THE PAYING GRATE PRICE TO EFFECT THE CHANGE, IT MUST SURELY COME WITHOUT DOUBT.
