October 23, 2011 - Libya's Liberation Day!

The war is over, they've killed Gaddafi, we've gotten rid of all the mercenaries (I hope), the rebels are home, so time to declare Libya's liberation! 

I went to the Kish Square, where Mustafa AbdilJalil was supposed to be there I think. I didn't stay there long enough to hear or see him, there were too many people, and for some reason, I didn't like the vibe around me.

It was weird, on my behalf, I was having one of those bad days, so it wasn't an overly wonderful day for me.

We just left the crowd, took a walk around the Katiba area, and then got in our cars and drove around town.
The whole downtown area was packed! it was crazy, we couldn't wait to get out of the crowd and get home to have a cup of coffee!

here are some pictures:

this is one of the two cars, Salha and Huley in the front row, Yasmina, me and Wareda at the back!

the twins, Yasmina and Wareda, and I

We were all packed like sardines!

We were in this crowd for almost an hour and a half, it was insane!

The freedom fighters (rebels) come home!

Today, my dad comes home and he tells me that the rebels are coming home from Sirte and wherever else they were/ I had to go see them, after all I could just walk from my house to the main road, cause I live right on the outskirts of Benghazi, and they were all passing by our neighborhood.

There were SO many people, it was crazy, and they were nice too! They weren't gawking at anyone, well maybe a few, but it wasn't so bad!

Here are some pictures :) 

that's my sister and my mom cheering on.

momma!

daddy and i, showing turkish support!

La Familia, minus me :(

the roads were totally blocked off! 

tried getting a picture from our front yard of the whole scene at night.

It was amazing, I can't describe the feeling seeing these people come home after such a long time. I'm sad that our martyrs didn't live long enough to see this day, may they R.I.P! We'll never forget that you have risked your existence for us to have a bright future! I am forever grateful!

Libya is Free!

So, Today I woke up, skipped school because I didn't feel like going, I thought it was going to be another day of  sad news and another day of fighting for freedom.
Today, October 20, 2011, Libya is finally free! despite the rapidly increasing number of injuries, Gaddafi has been captured and he is possibly dead.

HE REALLY IS DEAD!
Allah Akbar!
