Muammar Gaddafi went on radio few days ago,threatening no mercy for the pro-democracy residence of Benghazi .

This be no means guarantees that democratic reform will keep them free, as elite corruption has rendered that institution a sock puppet for international mobsters, loyal to no country, or people...only to themselves.
