The Arab world is rocked by the peaceful and non-violent protests determined to end autocratic rule in the region.
According to the news reports - the governments in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen are using firearms against their citizens in the violent crackdowns to quell pro-democracy peace rally.
From Libya - The peaceful protester account to CNN on Saturday February 19, 2011 while pleading for help clarified that the Libyan Army lied to the crowd by posing as their sympathizers then turned around and fired at the unarmed civilians in a reproachable response to anti-government peaceful assembly.
Earlier on the news reports revealed the aerial shooting from the helicopters resulting in more casualties thus far.
The governments’ deceitful tactics is a cowardly act deserving worldwide indignation.
International community can no longer be silent spectators to the government brutal attacks against peaceful dissent.
It is clear from the ground activities in the capital city Tripoli and other metropolitan areas like Benghazi that -
Libya’s Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi and Brigadier General Salih Rajab al-Mismari currently serving as Secretary of the General People’s Committee of Libya for Public Security are directly responsible for the merciless killing of more than 300 people with at least 15 others fatally shot at the funeral in the latest government violence against the citizens.
Colonel Gaddafi like most dictatorships assumed power in a coup d’état and has remained in office against republic will for nearly 42 years and the leader is quoted to have stated the following:
• “I am an international leader, the dean of the Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa and the imam (leader) of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level.”
• “There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory without swords, without guns, without conquests.”
