Libya and My Abiding Faith
Libya sits directly between Tunisia and Egypt -– two nations where changes of regime has taken place recently through its own’s pople complicated effort. For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant -– Muammar Qaddafi. He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world.
Last month, Qaddafi’s grip of fear appeared to give way to the promise of freedom. In cities and towns across the country, Libyans took to the streets to claim their basic human rights. As one Libyan said to an international mass media, “For the first time we finally have hope that our nightmare of 40 years will soon be over.”
In the face of the world’s condemnation, Qaddafi chose to escalate his attacks, launching a military campaign against the Libyan people. Innocent people were targeted for killing. Hospitals and ambulances were attacked. Journalists were arrested and sexually assaulted. Supplies of food and fuel were choked off. Water for hundreds of thousands of people in Misurata was shut off. All of these brutal things cannot be hidden from the unprecedented development of technology development.
Confronted by this brutal repression and a looming humanitarian crisis, European allies declared their willingness to commit resources to stop the killing. And so United Nations Security Council has passed historic resolution that authorized a no-fly zone to stop the regime’s attacks from the air, and further authorized all necessary measures to protect the Libyan people.
From news’ live broadcast, we could watch how do the coaltion troops hit Qaddafi’s troops in neighboring Ajdabiya, allowing the opposition to drive them out. Every people in every end of the world could witness through news program in every country wherever they live
