| dc.description.abstract | In the first months of 2011, Libya was at the center of attention by the international community when the Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi used his military forces to strike down the demonstrations by Libyan civilians against his regime. The demonstrations took place during the Arab spring, a revolutionary momentum that had already led to the end of Egyptian president Mubarak his 30-year-old regime. Fearing the same outcome in Libya, Muammar Gadaffi did everything in his power to end the growing number of demonstrations by ordering his military forces to strike down hard on Libyan civilians. In response, the United States, Great Britain and France urged the international community to stop these violent acts against the Libyan people. Due to international military involvement through heavy bombardments and political pressure the Libyan rebel forces were -after a conflict that lasted for more than six months - capable of overthrowing the regime and eventually killing Muammar Gadaffi. | en_US |
