Copyright Reuters Opponents of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi on Wednesday launched a call for protests in several cities. "Day of Wrath," What is the name given to Thursday, opponents of Gadhafi. Their goal: to mobilize the maximum of Libyans around the country to mount pressure on the "guide of the revolution" who ruled with an iron fist for over 40 years. Organizations defending human rights have nonetheless warned the demonstrators. They fear that the security forces, unaccustomed to the expression of popular discontent, demonstrate a severe foolproof. According to witnesses and the Libyan media, several hundred people have already clashed with police and supporters of Muammar Gaddafi in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday at Benghazi, the second largest city located a thousand kilometers to the east Tripoli. Riots triggered by the arrest of an activist for human rights. According chain Al Jazeera television, and broadcast messages on Facebook, two people were killed during protests in Al Baida, east of Benghazi. This information could not be verified. Wednesday night, it was impossible to reach any witness in Benghazi due to the apparent failure of telephone links. calls to protest were broadcast by anonymous activists on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. It is unclear to what extent they will be acted upon. The Libyan people are ready to rebel? Gaddafi risk-it really being swept away by the tornado that uprooted the Tunisian Ben Ali and Mubarak? Although some Libyans complain of unemployment, inequality and lack of freedoms, Libya is an oil exporting country and many observers dismiss the moment the hypothesis of a scenario to Tunisia or Egypt. The power seems to be able to tap into the windfall energy potential to satisfy social demands. Libyan state media reported Wednesday in favor of Muammar Gaddafi protests across the country. Day on Thursday marks the fifth anniversary of clashes in Benghazi during which security forces killed several protesters who attacked the Italian consulate. Muammar Gaddafi said that Libya did not need to import the Western concept of democracy because it relies on its own system based on the "Third Universal Theory." The scheme replaces a system of representative democracy through direct institutions called popular committees.
