The Incredible Arab Unrest

                

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Currently, a set of uprisings in the Arab world have been front-page news for almost 2 months now. This incredible chain of protest started in the small country of Tunisia, were a fruit seller violently burned himself to death in order to spread awareness about the oppression in this country. This, seemingly unimportant man, ignited a revolution in Tunisia that overthrew its extremely corrupt dictator. Setting Tunisia as an example, the people of Egypt decided to overthrow their dictator, Hosni Mubarak, who had been in power for 31 years. For about 2 weeks and a half, this leader struggled to gain control of his people. However, after a series of very violent riots, this person had no other option but to leave in order to keep Egypt at peace. The third country to be influenced by the wave of protests which has struck the Arabs is Libya. Once again, the people of Libya were demanding that their president, Muammar Gadhafi (who has 41 years in power), step down and allow others to take his place. Unfortunately, what started as peaceful protest has become a civil war, thanks to the morally wrong way with which Gadhafi had been dealing with the riots.

                The sick minded dictator, Muammar Gadhafi, decided that the only way to abolish these revolts once and for all was to ask his police to go to the streets to beat up or shoot any rebel rebelling. In addition, he demanded that his fighter jets take to the sky and bombard the protest when they were taking place. For obvious reasons, neither the Libyans nor NATO has been happy with the way that Gadhafi dealt with the situation. In order to overthrow the dictator, some Libyans formed an army and set out to conquer Libya by defeating Gadhafi’s forces. On the other hand, NATO has also decided to do their part, and all the major powers have come together and bombarded Gadhafi’s military. These nations include USA, France, England and Italy.  As seen, Muammar Gadhafi chances of remaining as Libya’s leader are becoming bleaker by the minute, yet he is still holding on to power somehow. Hopefully this ordeal will be over soon, and the Libyan people will not have to suffer anymore under the hands of the murderer Gadhafi.
