Shootings, bombings and day after day war and conflict. After fifteen days after being generated riots in Tunisia and Egypt, Libya also stands up against their leader and dictator Gaddafi. Two weeks later, the Libyan revolt has turned into an open conflict whose protagonists splash in the blood of thousands of deads. Instead of eclipse, Gaddafi was entrenched and unleashed a savage repression that divided his regime and, on the outside, he is paying convictions, penalties and charges of war crimes.
It has been almost three weeks since the February 16, the first protests erupted in Benghazi. Meanwhile, Gaddafi has decided to consolidate the capital, Tripoli, using heavy artillery and air force against protesters and to stop coming in one afternoon, Feb. 21, 250 dead in the streets. That evening he showed his potential to the world.
Although it has failed to break the rebels, it has stated its desire to regain what was lost, mainly oil facilities and power generation as Brega and Ras Lanuf, in the East, or Al Zauiya in the West. In practice, the country is divided.
The key to this situation that there was no need to look like before in Tunisia and Egypt in the Army. Or in the case of Libya, in his weakness. Both Tunisia and Egypt in the fall of dictators came to withdraw their support for the military leadership. In either case, the popular presence on the streets will never result in the taking of territory, beyond the symbolic Cairo's Tahrir Square. In other words, no riots toppled a military-based regimes; only forced to initiate reforms.
In an interview to Gaddafi made by a program of the U.U.E.E they question to him if He will leave Liya, and his answer was that He won´t do it saying:"people love me, people will die for me".
