Shortly before midnight, the streets of Benghazi, the capital of rebel fact, were quiet, almost deserted. A few minutes after midnight, a sign of rejoicing, firing of tracer bullets and machine gun fire streaked the sky, and residents piled into their cars to celebrate the event. In the meantime, the Security Council of the United Nations had voted by 10 votes to 0 against imposing a no-fly zone over eastern Libya and authorizing "all measures", apart from an occupation, such as to protect civilians against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the dictator who runs Libya for nearly 42 years.
It had been dark for one week this revolution began as a peaceful uprising against the despot, February 17. Young people armed with stones, or just over, but animated by a fierce desire for change, had attempted to wrest their towns from the grip of Gaddafi. But the latter, describing the population of rats, cockroaches and terrorists, has cons-attacked furiously.
He first shaved many city neighborhoods who defied the west of Libya. Then he set his sights on the east [of Libya] "liberated" by employing the same brutal tactics to crush the rebels badly organized. These days, while encircling Ajdabiya - the other major city west of Benghazi - and he directed fire from tanks and rockets against civilians as well as against militia positions, Benghazi, after a while thought could win, began to be won by doubt and fear.
The rebels hoped to complete their revolution without foreign intervention, as did the neighboring Egypt and Tunisia, but they have come to call their wish for a no-fly zone imposed by the UN. And recently, more and more supporters of the uprising like saying that air power is directed against foreign forces on the ground Gaddafi.
This was done even though it is unclear when foreign intervention will begin and if Gaddafi is prepared to defy the international community. "Knock its tanks, its planes hit, hit Bab al-Aziziyah," Ibrahim Abu Bakar launches, a young rebel evoking the district of Tripoli, where Gaddafi is installed.
"He showed he was ready to kill its people for stay in power. "At a crossroads near Benghazi port, the excitement is at its peak and some French flags (France has done much in favor of foreign intervention) mingle with hundreds of Libyan flags waved in token joy. Young people danced to the sound of loud music and rhythm bursts of machine guns and tracer bullets merge with fireworks over the city.
Above the intersection, a sign erected in late February still proclaims: "No to foreign intervention. The Libyan people will solve the problem alone." On the morning of March 17 in Benghazi tension was palpable: the inhabitants were preparing to death, worried that closer military Colonel Gaddafi and made nervous by the day of air strikes that had caused serious damage to the city airport.
The evening is the predominant relief. Since the United States, France and other countries have decided to say stop to Colonel Gaddafi, the victory is near.
