On
20 October
2011, Muammar
Gaddafi, leader
of Libya,
was captured
and beaten
to death
by NTC
forces. His
death and
subsequent events
are a
mystery since
nobody really
know what
happened and
there are
many hypothesis.
On my
opinion,
Gaddafi's life
should have
been taken
in another
way.
Firstly, NTC forces
dragged him from the drainage pipe he was hiding in and what next
happened is uncertain, but it is known that he was beaten by them. I
believe that it would have been better to keep him alive, so they
could trial him for crimes against humanity. After that, they exposed
the body in a freezer so that everybody could see him dead and didn't
let Gaddafi's family or Amnesty International make an autopsy. In
addition, he shouldn't have been displayed like a trophy because he
should have been buried.
Secondly, after Gaddafi's
death, the new government won't give more rights to the citizens and
it will be based on the Islamic law, Sharia. To my mind, abolishing
divorce and allowing polygamy is not a step forward since divorced
was allowed during Gaddafi's regime and polygamy wasn't, but they are
still in transition and we don't know yet what their democracy will
be like.
To
sum up,
Gaddafi's should
have been
kept alive
so he
could have
been tried
and rebels
shouldn't have
shown his
body as
a trophy
as they
did, because
that kind
of acts
is what
they condemned.
I want to congratulate you for this essey, I think you tract the issue in a different way, the real part which isn't explained in TV about the way he died. Moreover you also talk about the differences between Gaddafi's time and after him.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading your eassy, because I've learnt some new things about the new government that I didn't know.
