Whats happening in Libya

Proposal checklist & guidance.

Title: Dominic Brewer journalistic proposal.

Role: International correspondent.

Libya

What: Right now in Libya there is a civil war happing,

Who: General Col Muammar Gaddafi (the man I charge of Libya) said he will fight to the “last drop of blood in my veins”, rebel fighters

Where: The rebel fighters in Libya want freedom of Gaddafi and his dictator like rein in Libya,

When: The unrest in Libya started at the beginning of march 2011, recently in the last few days America, England and France(and other nations) have started dropping bombs “tomahawk missiles” on pro-Gaddafi soldiers and weapons such as tanks, anti-air guns and supply lines. Many/most of the countries involved over the problem in Libya have stated that they are not going to go to war but the reason that they are sending air-raids over there are to protect the people of Libya from there leader.

Why: A large percent of Libya’s population has became sick and tired of General Col Muammar Gaddafi rule over Libya, because of the way he treats them and now in his darkest hours he surrounds him self with a literal human shield of his citizens.

Justification of choice:

I chose this topic because it’s happing right now at this very moment that I’m writing this down, another country at the verge of civil war or is at civil war first Tunisia the Egypt and now Libya I find it rally interesting that countries right next to each other are getting rid of there dictators is like a domino effect, if you don’t know what’s going on around you

What’s affecting your day-to-day life? You won’t know what side you’re on and when you find out it might be too late.

Civil war is something we should all be interested in, epically in a place like Libya which has massive oil reserves and is the 17^th biggest oil producer in Africa, it also is almost the main producer for gas in Italy so if things go wrong many countries will end up with a loss unless they manage to get one of their “puppets” in charge which is most likely going to happen if General Gadafi leaves office, if this does happen it will be really interesting to see what will happen down the line in about sic to eighteen months time

Outline of content:

This article is about the civil war going on right now in Libya, it’s about General Col Muammar Gaddafi the leader/dictator of Libya and the rebel citizens of Libya who don’t want him as there leader, recently NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has got involved saying there going to protect the Libyan citizens from there own leader, because now Gaddafi had drawn a “human” shield around him, so NATO has started shelling pro-Gaddafi supporters with tomahawks missiles, and now slowly but surely the rebels or as some call them “freedom fighters”.   

Gaddafi said he would leave if he could take his whole family and be able to live anywhere of his choice, he said that almost two weeks ago and nothing has changed other from NATO getting involved. Recently “a Libyan government convey has arrived for some “talks” with British authorities in London but the Foreign office has stated that all contact with Libyan officials, it has been made clear the “Gaddafi has to go”.
