Libyan Revolution

How did Libyans celebrate the 14th anniversary of the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi?

Thousands of Libyans gathered in Martyr Square in Tripoli to commemorate the 14th anniversary of their country's uprising against former leader Muammar Gaddafi. The celebration featured a vibrant display of fireworks and a military parade, symbolizing the nation's freedom and patriotic pride. This anniversary marks a significant moment in Libya's history, remembering the 2011 civil war when Gaddafi was overthrown and killed by rebel forces backed by the United States and NATO. The celebration in Martyr Square—once dominated by Gaddafi's portraits—now represents the Libyan people's reclaimed national identity and their continuing journey since the revolution.
