As jubilant scenes are witnessed in Libya over the death of the former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, the United States President, Barack Obama, has urged Libyans to build an inclusive, tolerant and democratic Libya that would stand as the ultimate rebuke to Gaddafi’s dictatorship.

Obama said this on Thursday while reacting to the death of the former Libyan leader.

He stressed that it was a moment for Libyans to remember all those who suffered and were lost under Gaddafi's dictatorship and a moment to look forward to the promise of a new day.

Play to listen to the entire speech.
