The Libyan Army punishment on the strategic town of Zauiya, 50 km west of Tripoli, has continued on Wednesday with new bombings against rebels holed up inside. The fighting has forced the closing this morning one of the largest refineries in the country, according to sources cited by the oil complex.
"Heavy weapons have been fired in the vicinity and can not continue working under the current circumstances," said an official. Zauiya refinery is the main supplier of gasoline for cars in Libya, and can produce up to 120,000 barrels a day. The plant has been operating the last two weeks at 70% capacity.
Gaddafi tanks are closer to the main square of the city and a stronghold of the rebels in the western part of the country, while snipers firing from rooftop system, according to the account of combatants and witnesses. They claim that among the ruins of many buildings destroyed by artillery piled corpses.
The streets of this city of about 300.00 inhabitants remain empty, the sources said. "We can see the tanks. They are everywhere," said an insurgent militia. The guerrilla, named Ibrahim, said that forces loyal to the dictator has taken control of the main access road to the city and neighborhoods on the periphery.
The rebels still hold their position in the center of the city, but enemy units are approaching a mile, according to Ibrahim. Groups snipers took the roofs of many buildings and from this privileged position to spread terror shoot anyone who dares to go out. The bombs have hit the Libyan fighters in the last hours against the City and a mosque in the city.
"There are many dead but may be given burial. Zauiya is deserted. There is nobody on the streets, animals or birds in the sky", sums up this fighter. Attack on a refinery in the clashes in the east have been the main stage today in the town of As Sidr, west of Ras Lanuf, where the dictator planes have bombed rebel positions near the refinery.
The rebels have responded by launching several rockets but has retreated to the outskirts of the city with the intention of returning to it later. A thick column of black smoke has risen around the oil facility, as has been shown pictures of Al Jazeera. Qatari chain says it is due to an air strike against Qaddafi faithful to oil facilities, though the regime, in another attempt to sow confusion, has secured through state television that it is an attack on Al Qaeda.
In addition, several air strikes have also hit Lanuf Ras, 650 km from Tripoli, a desert area crucial for its oil facilities, according to witnesses cited by. Gaddafi sowing unrest among the opposition Muammar Gaddafi to the world isolation and cornered in Tripoli, although still strong in the fight against Libyan rebels, the rebels proposed yesterday to relinquish power in exchange for an honorable escape with their booty in tow .
Very probably knew that the response of the rebels would be negative. But the dictator managed to divide the National Council, the de facto government of the rebels in the eastern Cyrenaica. As president, Mustafa Abdelyalil, Gaddafi offered 72 hours to leave power with the promise that it would not be prosecuted for their crimes, the spokesman, Abdelhafiz Ghoga, was quick to reject any compromise.
First he should resign. Then we'll see. The leader who directed the North African country since 1969 called the National Dialogue on Monday night and early yesterday launched its proposal. A leader of the Council confirmed. And Ghoga had to hurry. He grabbed a microphone, looked out a window in the courthouse, and digested those gathered in the square of Mahkama.
"Who is going to allow safe passage Gaddafi?" Cried Ghoga, who left the room angry after addressing the angry neighbors who endured the rain. Soon after, the dictator declared Abdelyalil had three days to escape. And Ghoga appeared again in the afternoon to deny everything. Benghazi dismantled the state-government buildings, cornices painted with the green revolution Gaddafi, were burned or destroyed, "the nascent rebel organizations will show as much as inexperience.
The dilemma was: is it worth getting rid of the autocrat at the expense of impunity in Libya? The dissension in the Council is clear. As it is clear that the vast majority of Benghazi, which have suffered appalling repression for decades, would not allow such a compromise. Although this impunity will never be complete because the record of Gaddafi and is on the International Criminal Court.
To square the circle of confusion, both the Council and the Government finally Gaddafi denied there had been any initiative from either side. Gaddafi has to know that time is against him, however much you try to be confused with the European Union offer to send a delegation to Libya to investigate human rights violations.
The NATO AWACS watch the sky to collect information Libyan military and the United Kingdom and France in the UN promote the establishment of the no-fly zone, an initiative which had become Persian Gulf countries and the Organization of Islamic Conference , which is essential because the request of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia gives legitimacy to foreign intervention in the Arab State, always a delicate matter.
And the EU has decided to freeze the funds invested by the Executive Libyan Europe, a large portion of the 50,000 million euros Gaddafi treasures abroad. Gaddafi tries to develop their skills in all fields, and surges in their propaganda campaign when you've gone six days without Internet connection possible, unless it is available via satellite link.
The tyrant is determined to instil fear in the population and the Western powers, with the idea that Al Qaeda supporters stoned leading the rebellion, splitting the country, with the alleged conquest of cities in Cyrenaica which prove false, with alleged collusion to gouge Western oil resources, which in any case and go to Europe.
The National Council reacts to some of these diatribes. Sometimes with success. Immediate expulsion, days ago, the British delegation remains illegal assets Gaddafi, always ready to exploit the anti-colonial sentiments of the Libyans. "They can come whenever they want, but they must coordinate with us," he told this newspaper a spokesman for the Council, which would be formally recognized as the legal authority of the country.
Foreign Minister Gaddafi, Musa Kusa, however, insists U.S. wants to divide Libya. The imams insist on their weekly sermons on the theme sung by the rebels: "Tripoli is our capital forever." The unity of the country is sacred.
