Thanks for posting!

The crowd starts chanting about 2 minutes into the video -- are they chanting song lyrics or something else? Any translations appreciated!

Now is Gadaffi`s turn. Who will be next, King Abdullah?

Love this. Hopefully, in the future, we will see the women celebrating with the men together.

Got this from Mahin's DBQ: "Dawn on Facebook tracked down a translation of the crowd's chant:
'they are saying "hoa yamshee, mish hanamshee", which is "he left, we will not leave". It's a pretty strong word for "to leave" though, you can use it to say "GET OUT"...')"
