The "rat revolution", as Gaddafi called it in a delirious speech at the end of February, continued for another eight months, supported by NATO bombings. The death of the dictator led to the first democratic elections in Libya on 7 July 2012, which were followed by another election for the current House of Representatives way back in 2014. The Tripoli government has prepared a large demonstration for tomorrow in Martyrs' Square, the former Green Square of the deceased Gaddafi Jamahiriyya. “The question is whether this is an attempt by Haftar to curry favor with the Greens,” a Libyan source tells “Agenzia Nova”. Khaled and Saddam Haftar were recently promoted from brigadier general to major general.
