We’re checking in on how Libyans are responding to the events that transpired there last night, after rebel forces entered of the capital city of Libya to battle with loyalists to Col. Moammar Gadhafi, and demand he step down after 42 years in power of the country. The rebels captured two of Gadhafi’s sons, and people rejoiced in the streets of Tripoli as President Obama and other world leaders called for the leader to relinquish his power. Ghazi Gheblawi, a Libyan-born doctor now living in London, is a cyber activist who writes often about Libya on his blog.
