Foreign Affairs / Re: Rebels Place $1.7m Bounty On Gaddafi’s Head by elyzabetB: 7:13am On Aug 30, 2011
The rebellion in Libya appears to be approaching the endgame as rebels have entered the city of Tripoli and are overtaking key areas. It was recently announced that there is a generous bounty for anyone who brings them Moammar Gadhafi, dead or alive.

Things are happening fast and getting worse. Gadhafi’s son, Seif al-Islam, was captured. He and his father have both been charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. Another son, Mohammed, who was under house arrest, was also detained. Gadhafi’s two other sons, Khamis and Mutassim, are thought to be with the remaining loyalist forces.

They had been secretly armed during the six-month civil war, waiting for the key moment to strike.

The rebels fought in isolated parts of the city, taking on snipers and other gunmen loyal to Gaddafi's regime.

Six months of civil war came to an end Sunday as rebels swiftly moved in and took control of Tripoli with surprising ease. Despite remaining pockets of resistance, Gadhafi’s forces crumbled and faded into the shadows. President Obama announced his support of the rebels from Martha’s Vineyard, where he is vacationing.

Moammar Gadhafi's forty two years of rule came to an end Sunday. Rebel insurgents have overtaken the capital city of Tripoli. Thousands cheer in the streets today as Gadhafi remains hiding. Gadhafi made a speech which fueled the rebellion and emboldened many to join the cause. In the speech, Gadhafi promised to hunt down protestors “inch by inch, room by room, home by home, alleyway by alleyway.” Now, Tripoli falls to rebel forces. Citizens, secretly armed by rebels, rose up and joined them. The future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people itself. Not only that. Internet service returned to Tripoli today for the first time in six months. Rebel leaders sent text messages to the city’s residents, saying “Long live free Libya.” I just hope and pray that they'll be enlightened and  this chaos will end.
