Pro- & anti-Gaddafi rallies in Moscow as Libya embassy raises rebel flag
Libyan diplomats in Moscow have made their choice and on Monday hoisted the flag used by the rebel Libyan Republic. On August 25 the green flag of the Libyan Jamahiriya was hauled down, igniting pro- and anti-Gaddafi rallies near the embassy. For several days the mood inside the embassy building remained unknown. Today, the situation has changed to resolute support of the new regime. Dr. Amir al-Arabi Ali Gharib, Libyan ambassador to Russia says "The decision to raise the new flag was taken a week ago, but we decided to get together Libyan students studying in Moscow to make a sort of feast instead of simply raising the flag by ourselves."
