CNN's Ben Wedeman (twitter: @bencnn) gives a firsthand account from a rally in Benghazi, Libya. While the madman Muammar Gadhafi holes up in some bunker in Tripoli, inflicting mayhem and mass murder, other areas of Libya are celebrating their first taste of freedom in forty years, and are deliriously happy.

Here is the full version of the song being sung at the start of the clip. "سوف نبقى هنا", which translates to "We Will Stay Here". Gadhafi will leave.
