On the 15th of the local time, the UN envoy told Sky News, “If the bloodshed continues without strong measures from the international community, the people will have to defend themselves.” I urged you to return it.”
He warned, “If you don’t do that, you’ll be killed like Muammar Gaddafi.”
Gaddafi is a Libyan dictator who took power until 2011 after a coup in 1969.
He was killed in October 2011 after fleeing by militias who rebelled against long-term rule and iron fist rule.
He warned, referring to the words of a dictator who took power in a coup.

“There is a need to cooperate with neighboring countries in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Southeast Asia to put pressure on the military.” Said.
“We don’t need words anymore, we need action,” he added. “We need stronger diplomatic, economic and political sanctions.”
It was also said that the protesters were losing faith in outside help.
“The military has killed us countless times,” he said. “How many people have to die in order for the international community to intervene in this situation?”
“If this continues, citizens will find it a very realistic idea to defend themselves,” he said.
