Watch the Libyan Revolution on Al Jazeera
August 22nd, 2011 § 3 Comments
Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorship in Libya is in its last days with the capturing of the ruler’s son Saif al-Islam and the capital city of Tripoli by anti-Gaddafi forces. The Libyan people’s jubilation is booming throughout the entire country. So many have sacrificed their lives and experienced the loss of their loved ones since the revolution began in February and during decades of Gaddafi’s brutal rule.
Watch Al Jazeera’s live feed for excellent coverage from Tripoli and Benghazi and its Libya Live Blog for regular updates.
For Arabic speakers, below is a video of Mohammed Gaddafi (Muammar’s eldest son) speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic before the line goes dead after gunfire is heard inside his house (near the end) and he begins reciting the Shahada. Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Shihab-Eldin tweets that Mohammed took a “apologetic tone and says its lack of wisdom caused revolution and crisis in #Libya.” He and his family are reportedly still alive and safe.
