Two and a half years after the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, the oil rich North African state is

struggling to contain violence between rival forces, with Islamist militants gaining an ever-stronger grip on the south of the country. This all started when the former leader was accused of putting outside interests before the interests of his people, which started a revolt from Libyans.

"The situation in Libya is very worrying," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters on the margins of a conference in Rome to discuss the Libyan crisis.

He said the uncertain security position, especially in the south, worsened an unstable political situation which required Libyan political forces to come together to reach a solution.

"We are asking the Libyans to talk to each other and to find a stable solution," he said.

Nobody knows if Muammar Gaddafi died in a NATO air strike, or got killed in the streets and was drug through them on display.

This is just like Macbeth because he chose to do some things that would better him but it ended up hurting him. When he chose to kill the king and it unleased chaos. The animals ended up eating themselves, owls fought hawks, and it unleashed chaos and utter disorder in their world. Then after he ruled for a bit they decided to revolt against him and he ended up dying.
