So I know that the percentage of people that are both following the situation in Libya and have read the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is quite small.
But has anyone noticed the weird similarities between the two? In the Hunger Games, the Capitol (Tripoli) is the rich center of Panem (Libya) while the rest of the Thirteen Districts (Benghazi, Misrata, etc) suffer in poverty and oppression by the Capitol's army. Eventually, a rebel uprising takes out the army forces in the districts one by one until they finally surround the Capitol (Tripoli).
The next part of the story is a fifteen year old girl unintentionally killing the dictator of the Capitol by shooting the rebel leader with a bow and arrow, so I don't know how that will play out in Libya. I'll be watching closely.
