Updated on Feb 18, 2011 08:44 pm IST

Hundreds of supporters of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi rallied in the capital Tripoli on Thursday to counteract online calls for an anti-government "day of rage" inspired by the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. Pro-Gaddafi crowds waved portraits of the premier and chanted their support for him. Muammar Gaddafi has held Libyan leadership for over 40 years and is Africa's longest-serving premier - during which he has accumulated immense oil wealth.
