Libyans hold giant march demanding militias disband in wake of attack on US consulate - The Washington Post
And some idiots here wanted to bomb them. This is an encouraging sign that some Middle Eastern countries actually want to become moderate.
BENGHAZI, Libya Around 30,000 Libyans marched through the eastern city of Benghazi on Friday in an unprecedented protest to demand the disbanding of powerful militias in the wake of last weeks attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, in which at least one militia is suspected of participating, has sparked a backlash among many Libyans against the multiple armed factions that have run rampant for months in cities around the country. The militias have become more powerful than the regular security forces, and successive governments since last years fall of Moammar Gadhafi have been unable to rein them in.
Other signs mourned the killing of U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens, reading, The ambassador was Libyas friend and Libya lost a friend.
