Revolution swept like wild fire burning down what ever was in its path as well as well as the leaderships like in Egypt and in Libya and throughout the Middle East starting in Tunisia.

Despite all efforts the oppressive Libyan leader Qaddafi made to stamp out the revolt, the anti-government forces pushed on , city by city, step by step, often with each advance they were forced to go running backwards .The fighting became so intense that it sent thousands fleeing to neighboring countries as well as drawing in other countries until Qaddafi was finally captured and killed .
