Libya was a violent country in North Africa when a civil war broke out. It recently ended and now are rebuilding their country. This was a major issue when a civil war broke out between the civilian rebels and Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi was a dictator and used violence to control the people. Major political protests which grew in momentum and size significantly which led to chaos. Gaddafi fought back and the civil war began on February 17, 2011. Gaddafi accused of being "drugged" and linked to Al-Qaeda. The government lost control of most Eastern Libya when the war broke out. Gaddafi's forces had retaken momentum and was in shooting range of Benghazi when the UN declared a no fly zone.
Gaddafi had many criminal acts of murder and the use of drugs called Viagra among the soldiers for the purpose of raping women and instilling fear. A battle took place in Libya's capital, Tripoli, and Gaddafi lost control of effective political and military control there after his compound was captured by rebels
This was lasted for almost a year and during that time the violence was great. Finally on October 20, 2011, Gaddafi was captured and killed when the Libyan rebels were near his hometown Sirte. He was beaten and shot twice. Gaddafi wasn't dead yet and then died of his wounds the next day. The Lybian Civil War ended and the UN and the international group in Africa are helping Lybia rebuild.
I honestly glad they won the war and took out Gaddafi. So many people care about power and I don't like it. I am very sad for the innocent lives who were brutally killed and glad for the rebel soldiers who stood up for what's right and would died for the liberation of their country.
I don't like war, it's happening to often today and now. I wish for at least a year, peace and prosperity will reign.
