Sirte is the native
city of the former dictator Gaddafi. The conflict taking place there, they
say, will be the final battle and the beginning of a new Libya.
The article deals with the situation of the rebels
besieging Sirte. “The battle is a ramshackle affair” says the
journalist. They launch almost daily attempts to take the city, and
fire waves of rockets randomly all over the city, but they do not just
hit Gaddafi's supporters but also civilians. Despite the multiple
assaults on Sirte the rebels still haven't been able to take the city
and more and more civilians are dying from these skirmishes. Worst of
all, this isn't the last stronghold of Gaddafi's fighters; there is
also Bani Walid... So will this war truly end with Sirte or go on and
on?
The Libyan people have to take Sirte and Bani Walid in order to finally be free and establish a democratic regime. However, should
we not fear these rebels for they will most likely turn on our
governments sooner or later? We should not rejoice too soon and be
weary of them...
