This article is an international issue surrounding rioting against the government in Libya, and it has an effect all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThis article states that now "residents feared even ermerging from their house." After mass killings and Qaddafi showing absolutley no humanity, people are afraid to even leave their homes. This situation seems to be much worse than the situation in Egypt because Qaddafi seems to have absolutley no problem murdering inocent people.With a death toll of at least 220 people and more unknown, the situation seems to be spiraling out of control.
I think it is incredible the scale that this situation has risen to. The death toll unknown, people afraid to leave their houses, and Qaddafi looking no where near stepping down. But the people say after what they have seen they will never give up. I think this is really incredible because all the violence and killings have not scared them away, but instead redoubled their efforts to force Qadaffi out of power.
One generalization you can make from this article, is that as riots continue in Arab countries, they will not decrease in strengh, but increase. As one protestor said “This is not Ben Ali or Mubarak,” proving that although they know their case is different and much more difficult than previous ones, this will not stop them. Proving that the scale of these riots could continue to grow.
