The rise and fall of Colonel Muamar Gadaffi

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY

Gaddafi akamatwa na kuuawa. Libya, na Afrika kwa ujumla, yaingia kipindi kipya?

"...if (Gadaffi) doesn't leave, the Libyan people will get rid of him." - Dabbashi, Libyan deputy UN ambassador (February 2011).

 "Bado nipo Tripoli, usiamini runinga za mbwa koko"

"I have not yet ordered the use of force, not yet ordered one bullet to be fired ... when I do, everything will burn." (February 2011)

[Updated: 12:08 a.m. Monday, Libya; 5:09 p.m. Sunday ET]: Multiple eyewitnesses have reported that Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city, is now in the hands of protesters and their military allies, some after dropping allegiances to longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. CNN cannot independently confirm these reports, as the Libyan government maintains tight control on communications and has not responded to repeated requests from CNN for access to the country.

[Updated: 11:33 p.m. Sunday Libya; 4:33 p.m. Sunday ET]: Libya's ambassador to the Arab League has resigned amid unrest in the country. Abdel Elhuni said he quit because he cannot be part of a regime that kills innocent people.

Tuwe na fikira chanya, fikira hasi ndizo zinazoturudisha nyuma. Imani yangu ni uwa Yatafika ndugu yangu, yatafika! Kama si sasa halafu kidooogo. Nina hakika hatufiki 2015.

Aisee inashangaza kuona Kisiki kama Ghadaf kipo kwenye hali ngumu kihivyo.

Sasa, wale wafalme wafuata upepo waliojifanya kumtambua jamaa kama Mfalme wa wafalme wanajisikiaje kuona mfalme wao anabanduliwa madarakani?

Au labda wataendelea kumtambua kama mfalme wao hata kama hatakuwa na pesa za kuwapa kama walivyozoea?

Libyan Protests Spread To Capital Tripoli

Alex Rossi, in Cairo, and Kat Higgins
Anti-government protests are taking place in Libya's capital Tripoli for the first time since the uprising against leader Colonel Gaddafi began.

Eyewitnesses in the centre of the city have reported hearing gunshots and seeing burning vehicles as thousands of pro and anti-regime demonstrators clash.

The North African country has seen days of unrest as protesters, spurred on by the revolutions in neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia, call for Gaddafi to step down after 40 years.

Much of the violence has so far centred on the second city of Benghazi in the northeast of Libya where at least 200 people are believed to have been killed.

Speaking on Libyan TV on Sunday night Colonel Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi admitted that some people have died in the violence and that the poorly trained and equipped army has "made some mistakes". But he said reports that 250 people have been killed is an "unimaginable exaggeration". He added that wealthy businessmen and tradesmen had hired Arab and African expats to cause the violence.

Eyewitnesses Tell Of Army's Defection

Earlier, members of a Libyan army unit told Benghazi residents they have defected and "liberated" the city from pro-Gaddafi forces.

Speaking from the city, a local man named Benali, told Sky News that members of the Libya's armed forces have defected and that anti-regime protesters are now in control of the city.

Inasemekana amekimbilia Venezuela. Too good to be true! If this is all true then Libyans have broken a record. They toppled Ghadafi in 5 days!

NB: Venezuelan government sources deny that Gaddafi is on his way to Venezuela.
 
11:30 pm Al Jazeera spoke to one protester on the phone, amid noisy crowds, who summarised the scene in the capital, Tripoli:

About one hour ago, 1500 to 2,000 people gathered and they blocked all roads and they burned anything owned by the government on the way. They are now burning a picture of the president, which is why the noise is so loud and everybody's happy - there's a woman on the balcony singing and screaming and loving it.

"We are in Tripoli, there are chants [directed at Gaddafi]: 'Where are you? Where are you? Come out if you're a man.' I believe we are heading toward Green Square, but to be honest, nobody controls these people and we are just going where we want.

"There are no police, no army, no security forces. Everything is blocked off by protesters - and, as we cross the town - where apartment buildings are filled with people who live here - we are picking people up on the way. Everybody has been waiting for this - and it's finally happening.
