Opponents of the regime have announced massive demonstrations in Libya - these could end violently: Revolutionary Leader Muammar al-Gaddafi has to prove hardship to stay in power. Exactly five years he had already quit a protest brutal. You want to shake the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi to its foundations: Libyan opposition figures are planning for Thursday countrywide mass demonstrations against the leadership of the country's oil.
With the coordinated demonstrations will give the organizers the simmering public anger in Libya for weeks new expression - and channel it in one. If the people stand together, it could chase away the dictator, you note a protest of the social network site Facebook. What side of the border in Egypt and Tunisia was possible, could also succeed in Libya.
By Wednesday evening, had over 12,000 supporters on the Facebook page registered. The organizers of the planned rallies have chosen the date for their uprising with caution.

Without that security forces were able to prevent it, the crowd suddenly called out in the city of Benghazi slogans against the regime. After a moment of shock seized state power through hard. There were at least ten dead and dozens injured. Their will now be considered. The massacre of 2006, should the dissatisfied in Libya as a warning.
Also on Thursday, security forces should act with all force against the demonstrators. Gaddafi directs his country with a strict hand. Protests against the unequal distribution of the fabulous wealth of the country - only 36 billion barrels of oil are hidden beneath the desert floor - have so far been kept low by violence.
Any resistance is reflexive as an Islamist or terrorist branded. The repressive police state in the Arab world, Qaddafi's guarantee of power is the military, whose leadership he has interspersed with members of his tribe. "The army remains loyal to Gaddafi," said the Libyan exile journalist Ashur shamisen the television station al-Jazeera.
The chances that the military leaders to denounce his followers were very low. "But that's the only hope may entertain the people." Libya is considered the most repressive police state in the Arab world. As the scariest example of the ruthlessness of its security forces is the massacre at the Abu Salim prison 1996th Occupants had then protested against their poor conditions of detention.
The prison authorities responded by letting throw hand grenades at the guards gathered in the yard men. For three days, security guards of towers shot down on survivors. According to human rights groups, 1,200 prisoners died. Since late last year it was repeated in Libya, where protests against social injustice, rising food prices and housing shortages.
The revolution in Tunisia in mid-January fired the demonstrations. In Tuesday night security forces in Libya's second city of Benghazi dissolved larger demonstration against the arrest of human rights activist and lawyer Fethi Tarbel brutal.

The security forces were followed by a water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets, the protesters threw stones. 14 people, including ten policemen, were injured. Published on the internet amateur videos of the rally to show hundreds of men and women.
They call "The people want to overthrow the regime" and "Gaddafi, out, out!". Gaddafi himself has warned in recent days from protests against his rule. The pan-Arab newspaper al-al-Awsat Schark "reported that the dictator was summoned last week, journalists and activists to a private audience.
He was ejected dark threats against people to donate who planned, "chaos and strife" in Libya: The longest-ruling head of state in Africa has no intention to give up its six and a half million subjects in the corner or drive even into exile. Reform Williger Gaddafi's son has already been deposed already in mid-January, it became clear that Gaddafi wants the people's anger with a policy of strength to the teeth.
To make it clear that everything in Libya will remain the same, he even let his overthrow his successor auserknen son Saif al-Islam. The junior has his office at the head of the International Gaddafi Foundation charity for deprived and development. Previously, the foundation had announced it would pursue the goals are not represented by Saif further and future use either for the protection of human rights or for political reforms in Libya.
Saif was the West and the opposition than in his home long-term hope. Gaddafi junior, it seemed to my grave with the change: He brought Western economic advisers to the country watched that at least part of the oil and gas money when people arrived and encouraged to uncover human rights organizations like Amnesty International, grievances in Libya.
In 2008 he declared that Libya needed a "new system", separation of powers and an effective administration. At the urging of his father, Saif was made in 2009 as coordinator of the "social management committee of the people." Senior Gaddafi had earlier made clear that this position is reserved for his designated successor.
In his inaugural speech said Saif, he wanted the job only when he will be allowed to impose significant political reforms, hold free elections and to draft a new constitution. Concessions of the regime are merely cosmetic, the long-established elite may not have liked those ambitions from the start.
In mid-January, in the wake of protests in Tunisia, they decided to act and the 38-year-old Junior - certainly with the blessing of the Father - to impeach. The reform-minded heir to the throne seems ousted. The dismissal Saif is a big blow for the people. Small concessions to the protesters, which by ranking the regime in recent weeks seem, in view of these intrigues than mere cosmetics.

After decades as a patron of the international terrorism was and drove forward programs to develop weapons of mass destruction, he appeared after the attacks of 11 have experienced a change in attitude to September 2001.
He sought the proximity to the West, multi-billion compensation paid to victims of terror and made it so request removal of his country from the list of rogue states. But Libya is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. By nepotism should be Gaddafi's family and tribe most of the vast oil and gas revenues to push.
At the same time, the country less than three percent of its gross domestic product on education. It ranked in order, in a comparison ranked 159, so far back: Gaddafi keeps his people stupid. The despot itself can be at home as a god king transfigure. The celebration of the 40th Anniversary of his seizure of power in 2009 should have cost 50 million €.
Gadhafi stayed on state visits abroad, like in Bedouin tents, he opens in the gardens of his colleagues. Its bodyguard is exclusively made up of pretty young women.
