Libyan border becomes critical

The situation in conflict-ridden Libya was growing even more troubling throughout Tuesday as approximately 140,000 people gathered near the border to try to find a way into neighbouring Egypt. 

The number is mostly made up of foreigners seeking to escape the unrest. Some have already been evacuated using specially chartered flights, but many still remain. 

The man in the centre of it all is the country’s leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who has been in charge for 41 years. He still claims all the people love him, despite the clear evidence of protests and fights for democracy. 

America is rumoured to be preparing to take whatever action is necessary to resolve the situation, and those currently looking for a way across the border will hope that a resolution is reached as quickly as possible.
