text_A: Following the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, Gaddafi spoke out in favour of Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, then threatened by the Tunisian Revolution. He suggested that Tunisia's people would be satisfied if Ben Ali introduced a "Jamahiriyah" system there. Fearing domestic protest, Libya's government implemented preventive measures by reducing food prices, purging the army leadership of potential defectors, and releasing several Islamist prisoners. On the 17th of February, 2011, however, large scale protests against the government erupted, proving that these measures were largely in vain. Unlike Tunisia or Egypt, Libya was largely religiously homogeneous and had no strong Islamist movement, but there was widespread dissatisfaction with the corruption and entrenched systems of patronage, while unemployment had reached around 30 per cent.
text_B: Could you make a reasonable conclusion that the potential defectors and the political prisoners that Gaddafi released themselves became charismatic agitators, once they were free to speak to the public openly?
YES.
