What is happening in Libya

There are violent protests and wars in Libya mainly cause by Muammar el-Qaddafi. Muammar el-Qaddafi started his regimen since 1969, this converted him in the person that has ruled a country with the longest time. The rebels, which are people from the cities, began with a relatively organized group of antigovernment opponents in Benghazi, its spread to the capital of Tripoli. This organization was taking over control of their cities and to defend them from Qaddafi’s soldiers. The rebels asked for help to western countries and later the rebels were disappointed because they didn’t respond on time to their call. One of the countries that support the rebels is France and other eastern countries. Later on the U.N. tried to create a tactic which was a no-fly zone, this tactic was suggested in order that Qaddafi’s air forces didn’t bomb the rebels.
