Abderahim, 32, is in France for several months. Tour guide in his country, he came to follow French courses in Montpellier, before initiating studies of Greco-Roman history. His father and sisters remained in Benghazi, a city in northern Libya, where dozens of people have died since the beginning of the protest movement, according to several organizations. "I'm very worried," said Abderrahim. It's four days as the Internet and telephones are cut off. I have not heard from my family. "
Beshah, an archaeologist of 44 years, he left the coastal city of Al-Bayda two years ago. He was only "occasionally" for news of loved ones. "The situation is catastrophic," he assures. It's war. Libyans were killed by mercenaries in Africa.Today, it is even more for the freedom that is manifest, but so that our people can stay alive. "
"Before yesterday with Tunisians, Egyptians yesterday, today with the Libyans"
Avenue de Suffren Paris, a few dozen meters from the Libyan embassy, a hundred people gathered Tuesday afternoon. Men, women, children ... "Gaddafi, murderer!" they shouted in chorus. Demonstrators waved pictures of victims of violent repression of demonstrations, circulating on the Internet.
The Libyans are only a few hundred in France, including many university students. Medicine, engineering, research ... Some came from Lyon or Strasbourg to warn about the situation of their country.Ahmed, sunglasses and hat on his head, follows last year and a half trained as a pilot line in Toulouse. "I have a scholarship from my government for my education, but I do not agree with this regime," he says. He prefers not to be photographed: not for himself but for his family and his younger brother stayed in Tripoli. He also discusses the "African mercenaries" who "enter houses, attack the girls, shooting at people."
Tunisians, Egyptians, Syrians and Algerians also came to express their solidarity. "We were two days ago with the Tunisian people, the Egyptian people yesterday, today and tomorrow with the Libyans we will certainly be with other people in the Arab world, says Boushaki, Franco-Tunisian.Even if Libya is in total isolation, the limited information we receive allows us to follow live the bloody events taking place. Muammar Gaddafi government for nearly 42 years, is a world record. He must go! "
"Libya has oil and gas"
Moved, Dhekra, a Tunisian, it provides also want to alert public opinion. Very active since the beginning of the revolution in Tunisia, it has created on Facebook about twenty pages noting the departure of ousted President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, the resignation of the French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie, the France's ambassador in Tunis Boillon Boris ... "The movement is different revolutions Libyan Tunisian or Egyptian," she said.There, Saif al-Islam [a son of Muammar Gaddafi, ed] clearly says that if the challenge does not stop, he would kill everyone until the last. "
All hope now that Muammar Gaddafi will quickly leave power. Beshah dream of elections and democracy. In a country where most people would not live in misery. "What we miss most in Libya? Justice! Abderahim said. In recent years, Muammar Gaddafi has changed its foreign policy, but never his domestic policy. We are a rich country but a third of the population lives below the poverty, I am 32 years old and I can not buy a house. "
Ahmed, himself, is less optimistic."I hope the international community will stop these crimes, this is not the first of which Gaddafi is responsible. But Libya has oil and gas, so I doubt it ..."
