Zapiro cartoon shows shoes being thrown at Gaddafi. In the Arab world, it is a symbol of contempt, supreme insult and a grave show of disrespect. Libya in turmoil: Like in neigbouring Egypt and Tunisia, the population has had enough of ruthless dictatorial rule. Pressure mounts to force Gaddafi to step down. Gaddafi has been in power since 1969.

Winds of change' for Arab Dictators
Looking at events in February 2011, winds of change has started for Arab dictatorships. Firstly in Tunisia, then in Egypt. Rumblings have started elsewhere such as Jordan, Yemen, Libya, Morocco Oman, Bahrain, Algeria and Mauretania. This comes 50 years after Harold Macmillan made his famous 'winds of change' speech in Cape Town. Zapiro's cartoon emphasises the fact that all these dictators thought their way of ruling would be forever.
But it was guaranteed wind-of-change proof !
