Colonel Gaddafi was killed yesterday, thus ending the story of some 42 long years of dictatorship in Libya. The civil war broke outin Libya against Muammar Gaddafi in the month February 2011. The anti-government militias took control of several cities becoming brutally powerful day by day. The U.N Security Council voted to authorise a no-fly zone over Libya and carry out military action against -- to protect civilians against Gaddafi's army.There were rumors that Gaddafi had fled to Algeria to save his skin. But it was his wife and daughter that had escaped into Algerian soil where the daughter had given birth to a baby girl. In the month of September, an interim Government put in place to take charge of the violence strewn Libya.That the interim Government chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil received the support ofthe world leaders expedited the expected political change. The U.S.President Barak Obama made a call to the last of Gaddafi's loyalist forces to surrender.But Gaddafi was heard by the world taunting NATO in his speech broadcasted by Syrian-based Arrai television station. At last Gaddafi was captured by by the rebels and shot dead, though he was pleading for his life.
Let us hope that there will be a democratic political administration coming force in Libya in the nearest future.
