The Fall of "Green Square"

The fall of “Green Square”

It was more like a dream than reality when the revolution that was ignited by Bouaziz”s self-immolation in Tunisia snowballed into Egypt, Bahrain, Syria and finally Libya. For those who are still disillusioned by the invincibility and the apparent power and popularity of tyrants in the Arab world, you are welcomed to the possibility of human will and freedom to fully choose their government. The capturing of the Green Square on Sunday, 21^st 2011 demonstrated that no dictator, iron fisted or wood fisted and even nuclear fisted could submerge the human will. Are there any lessons for Iranian leader, Ahmadinejad in the Libyan example? This may be one of the signs of things to come for Iran. How be it the Libyan people have demonstrated bravery and took their destiny in their hand, in the end they have obtained their freedom from Gadhafi’s Self-created four decades monarchy. Beyond the ousting of the Green Tyrant, what does the Transitional National Council (TNC) hope to put on ground to resolve governance which has been ousted? At a level are the fears of replicating the Afghan and the Iraqi example in Libya and at another level, the fear of turning Libya into a breeding ground for potential terrorists is not unfounded. The NATO-aided victory of the rebel is well known under the guise of No Fly Zone. Here comes another question, will the West pay the huge sacrifices necessary to sustain the rebel government beyond their vampire search for Oil of Libya? Indeed many questions abound for the Inquisitive minds and analysts to engage on the Libyan question and the fall of the Green Square. On a final note how would the rebel and ICC handle Gadhafis whom have been captured? The battle for the Green Square which had been envisaged to be bloody came seemingly swiftly and In the end, it was more of a Sunday drive than a punishing final offensive. This shows the powerful hand of the West.
