So far, the protests in Libya have been the bloodiest. The exact number of dead is unknown since foreign media is not allowed to enter Libya but various reports from inside Libya put them between 200-400 so far. Gaddafi has been in power for 41 years and this is the first time his rule has been threatened in such a manner. Unlike in Egypt, Gaddafi has not hesitated to use his army to open fire on protesters with 50 Cal. machine guns and sniper fire. God bless all the heroes of Libya fighting for their freedom. They are in my prayers and hopefully yours too.
This blog is inspired by, and dedicated to the brave bloggers of Egypt who literally risked their lives to speak their minds and to expose to the world the truth. The end result? They initiated the spark which led their country to freedom, set them on the road to democracy, and inspired others to do the same.
