Warplanes have been bombing protesters in Tripoli, although a few of the pilots defected rather than massacre crowds of people expressing their discontent.
Several diplomats and the Minister of Justice resigned in protest over the killing of demonstrators. The Libyan embassy in London has shown their allegiance to the protesters, replacing Libya’s flag with one of independence.
If your wondering why you should care about Libyans, it’s similar to why you should care about Egyptians, Tunisians, or any of the millions around the world fighting for freedom.
In many ways, Libyans are just like us. If they can overthrow their tyrannic leaders to create a democratic system, it means there’s hope that we can do the same.
