The activists have mobilized through social networks to get a rush to the demonstration called for Thursday in Libya, dubbed "Day of Rage '. Internet urging people to take over a landmark of Tripoli and stay there until the fall of the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, following the example of the Egyptians with the Tahrir Square in Cairo.
The largest demonstrations have occurred in opposition page www. libya-watanona. com, but also stresses the participation in Facebook and Twitter. However, many of these messages of support to the democratic revolution from abroad, so it is to see the amount of people coming to the protest in a country used to stifle them.
"From every place of our beloved country, the people must unite in a city and a place to scare the regime and its supporters and forcing their flight because they are cowards," wrote a netizen named Mustafa. For its part, Amnesty International warned today that the march coincided with the fifth anniversary of clashes between security forces and the population from the Italian consulate in the city of Benghazi, east of the country, which killed several people.
"The Libyan authorities should allow peaceful protests, not trying to suppress with an iron fist," the charity said in a statement, fearing that the 'Day of Rage' will culminate in a new slaughter. Clashes between police and opponents of Gadhafi began Wednesday in the same city, giving a balance of at least two dead and 38 wounded, although these figures have no official confirmation.
In contrast, state media say the protesters were supporters of the president who shouted: "We are a generation built by Gaddafi and any opposition will be destroyed!". Analysts are skeptical about the possibility that Libya succeed a popular revolution, as happened in Tunisia and Egypt, because even though people claim the same shortcomings, if the government is able to reverse the situation by profits made from oil.
