Libya

Gaddafi Killed

Former leader of Libya Muammar Gaddafi was killed in a crossfire. The fighting was between his loyalists and members of the National Transitional Council. He was fatally wounded and eventually died after being captured in his hometown of Sirte. Gaddafi had previously ruled Libya for 42 years before losing his power in August. His death was greatly celebrated and could bring about a new era in Libya.

Even though the main enemy of Libya’s new government is gone, it is still uncertain as to whether or not it can hold up for any amount of time. Gaddafi’s death will certainly be good for the morale of the people as he had ruled for so long with such a tyrannical government behind him. His death may lead to a peaceful Libya. Right now, it is uncertain if the government in place will be able to stay in power to provide for the people and allow for peace at last.
