Libya � Protests Against the Government After protests broke out around the middle east protests in Libya against rule by dictator Moammar Ghaddafi turned violent as Ghaddafi refused to listen to their calls for his ouster from government. Protests quickly turned to a violent rebellion as Ghaddafi brought in its military and financial might to crush the revolt. The rebels started an advance headed for the capital of Tripoli but in the last week they were forced back by Ghaddafi�s superior forces. With troops just outside of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi the UN finally declared a No-Fly Zone and whatever means necessary to stop the bloodshed short of ground forces.
