Prodemokratske demonstracije u susjednoj Libiji u konačnici su eskalirale u puni građanski rat, koji je okončan hvatanjem i ubijanjem samoproglašenog lidera te zemlje Muammara Gaddafija u njegovom rodnom gradu Sirtu 20. oktobra.
The pro-democracy demonstrations in neighbouring Libya eventually escalated into a full-blown civil war, which ended following the capture and killing of the country's self-proclaimed leader Muammar Gaddafi in his hometown of Sirte on October 20th.
