Mohamed Eljahmi’s brother, Fathi, died at the hands of the Qaddafi regime. Mohamed, now living in the U.S., e-mails with optimism over the U.N. move last night, calling it a “road map that transitions Libya into democracy.” He believes it to be a vote of confidence for and in the Libyan people, which will encourage them to publicly demonstrate against Qaddafi. “If that happens, then Qadhafi has only two options, fire or stay put. If he stays put, he will find himself on a slippery slope and fall via a people’s revolt. If he fires, then he will get a swift response from the international community.”
