THE bullets flying over Tripoli mark the end to Colonel Gaddafi's brutal reign in Libya.
And it gives the green light to the world's biggest energy companies – desperate to unlock some of the biggest oil and gas riches in the world.
Libya holds more reserves than any other country in Africa with more than 40billion barrels of "black gold".
Giants including BP all quit the country when the revolution started in February.
BP was just days away from drilling its first exploration well in a vast "block" – Ghadames – to the west of the country.
Who will grab Gaddafi’s oil?
