Since the outbreak of the popular uprising against his more than 40-year-long rule began in mid-February, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has resorted to hiring foreign fighters, mostly from Africa, to quell the challenge to his rule.
Od kada je sredinom veljače izbio narodni ustanak protiv njegove vladavine koja traje više od 40 godina, libijski vođa Muammar Gaddafi pribjegao je angažiranju inozemnih boraca, uglavnom iz Afrike, kako bi ugušio prijetnju svojoj vladavini.
