600 word response

The out rages in Libya
The Libyan civil war of 2011 is an ongoing armed conflict in the North African state of Libya again their leader Muammar Gaddafi’s 41 year old rule.  The protesters want Libya to call for new leadership and for new democratic elections. The situation began as a series of peaceful protests which Gaddafi’s security services attempted to confront and tried to stop them so people didn’t get any ideas and things didn’t happen. In less than a week, the uprising had spread across the country and Gaddafi could not control it. It was growing and going around very rapidly. Muammar Gaddafi could do nothing to stop it. He didn’t have any control of what the people were doing. He was pretty much out numbered. People hated him and they didn’t want to do what he did, he thought that everybody in his country loved him but they really did not. Because they hated him so much, they protested and caused a lot of outrages in Lybia against Muammar Gaddafi the president because they did not like him at all. All of the people that protested and started the up rages and things like that, wanted the president to not be in charge of their country anymore. He was a bad leader and did bad things. All of the protesters and people wanted him to resign from his job.
            All of the protesters and people that don’t want the president, Muammar Gaddafi, to be the president of their country anymore did things and they started a civil war in the country of Libya. The president has security and people fighting in the war for him to help him stay in control of the president of Libya.
             The first protest and confrontations and uprisings began on February 15 of the year of 2011. On the evening of February 15 in between five hundred and six hundred protesters and people against the President Muammar Guddafi were chanting slogans and had posters and things that were protesting the government. The protest took place in front of the Police Head Quarters in Benghazi Libya during the night. The protest was broken up by the police at the National Police Head Quarters. While they were breaking up the protest and trying to stop them there were about and around thirty eight people injured and harmed while they were fighting back. There were many different protests and things like that against them before the war started and to cause the staring of the war. The protest include when people were burning down the government’s buildings because they hated them so much. They burnt down police buildings and were hurting government officials.
            The terrible president of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, was mad at the people of Libya. He was mad at them for reporting on the incidents that were happening and that people were showing other countries and places about Libya and the Civil War protests that were going on. Because of this, he stopped all of the communication with the outside world and blocked it all. He shut off all of the internet sources and things like that, all of the phones and some of the traveling and all other communication sources. To all of the people that had already given information to the outside world and did that, he tried to arrest as many as possible that he could find. He even hurt and killed some of the people that gave information to the outside world and places like that.
            I think that this is very bad and that he should just resign and not be the president of Libya anymore.
