Libya ~ how the tyrant came I'm From Benghazi, Libya . I was born in 1992 & since as long as I can remember; Gaddafi has been ruling us along with his gang of thieves & murderers . actually he's been ruling even before that , since 1969 when he led a punch of mindless officers & overthrow King Idres El-Snussi (May he R.I.P) who was just beginning to build a strong & an independent country . & back then the oil wasn't even discovered . & so... On September 1st 1969 ,there was Gaddafi standing on a tank in Benghazi waving to crowds & telling them that the time if dictatorship has ended & that no man should rule all Libya by himself ! the people was confused, on one hand King Idrees didn't do anything wrong as they see it , but on the other here is this young man (27 yrs) with most of the army backing him & on the Radio promising even better living & better Libya . at the time king Idrees had already left Libya , knowing that if he fight to stay with the part of the army that still supports him it will turn into war & a lot of people will die & Libya will enter to a state of chaos , so he went away quietly & ordered the army to follow the best for Libya . Gaddafi had his coup in Benghazi not Tripoli (the capital) , knowing that Benghazi's people were always the first to lead the change in Libya . wether it's against the The Ottoman Empire occupation 400 years ago , or the fervent resistance to the Italians in 1911 . that's always how it was in Libya , Benghazi & the eastern part along with cities like Misratah & Zawia in the west together with Amazigh & Berber form the south ~ combined , those will liberate Tripoli which was always the last place left for occupied forces to hold as a captive . He knew that if he had the people of Benghazi behind him , It'll be a sure win . so he lived there for 6 six years & in that period he understood that if he wanted to rule Libya he has to start from here & another important thing, that any future rebellion against him will definitely start from there . so he have to always keep an eye on there & to take precautions . result from that ? 42 years of suppression, deprivation & humiliation . not only to Benghazi , but to all those who refused to live by his way worship him as "the prophet of the desert" so he says ! little did he know , that behind that fake image (that was created around him by his corrupted circle of people following any orders just so they can benefit & feed like leeches on Libyan's riches & blood ), RAGE WAS BUILDING
