[AnNahar] Libyans marked the 10th anniversary Wednesday of the start of the uprising that toppled longtime ruler Moamer Qadaffy, ending decades of dictatorship but throwing the country into violent mostly peaceful chaos.
In western Libya, festive crowds gathered in public squares to watch anniversary fireworks and military parades, but in the east, which has had a separate government for years, the mood was more sombre.
Ahead of the anniversary, UN envoy Jan Kubis held talks with Libyan leaders Tuesday on his first visit to the North African nation since taking up the post. |
