The rebels against the regime of Muammar Gadadi are on the brink of losing control of the strategic town of Zauiya, in west of Libya. The dictator's troops backed by tanks and artillery, have launched the assault on Tuesday of this important oil enclave just 50 km from Tripoli, under rebel control since the start of the riots and that takes a week under siege continued Army, according to witnesses cited by the agency and the Qatari Al-Jazeera network.
City residents say that the units of the dictator are "trying to destroy it," the story of a Libyan exile who has been able to telephone a friend who lives in Zauiya despite the difficulties that this entails, and that communications with inner city broke down last Sunday. Nor are journalists who can report what is happening, because the few reporters who have tried to enter the city have been detained by Libyan authorities.
"My friend said that the situation is unfortunate and Gaddafi's forces are trying to destroy the city. Many buildings are completely ruined, including hospitals and electric generators," said the witness. "People can not flee, can not escape from a city cordoned off. All that can fight are doing, too young.
Women and children are hidden." "Gaddafi tanks are everywhere, shooting. The rebels responded with fire. The struggle continues." A government spokesman, Mussa Ibrahim, has said from Tripoli that Army units have taken control of the city, adding that a small group of rebels has not been surrendered.
"The situation is very difficult, there are still pockets of resistance, no more than 30 or 40 people, hidden in the streets and in the cemetery." "They are desperate," said this official. Meanwhile, the head of the National Libyan opositorConsejo, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, told Al Jazeera by telephone that the rebels will not go after Gaddafi for his crimes if it leaves the power in the next 72 hours.
Jalil, former Minister of Justice, has secured from the Council's headquarters in Benghazi that this deadline is not negotiable. New bombing in Ras Lanuf The military offensive also has flared in eastern Libya. The dictator's fighters have taken up the punishment conn intense air bombardment of the oil city of Ras Lanuf under precarious control of the rebels.
The planes have bombed for a third day near the port and inside the city. One of the bullets had reached a residential area, according to a journalist. "A bomb struck a district. There is a big hole in the floor of an apartment building on two levels," said the reporter Alexander Dziadosz.
After the impact, several men have taken to the streets shouting "God is the greatest." Many of the houses adjacent to the attack have been evacuated. The rebel front has remained stagnant in Ras Lanuf and is unable to move west on the counterattack forces Gaddafi. Checkpoints the insurgents guarding the oil city without news of the enemy infantry, but can not avoid being bombed from the air by fighter planes of the dictator.
"Our last checkpoint is on the same site. We have launched some attacks and no troops have moved Gaddafi, has gathered a rebel fighter. The militia has also ensured that the neighboring town of Es Sider has fallen on the rebel side. Es Sider holds an oil terminal as well as other cities such as Ras Lanuf itself, Zueitina and Brega.
Further, at Bin Jawad, 40 km from Ras Lanuf and on the way to Sirte, the birthplace of the dictator, Gaddafi's foreign mercenaries had driven out the rebels and maintain a first line of defense that cuts the road to Sirte, the real target of the insurgency. Gaddafi feels observed in the rebel city of Misrata, isolated from Tripoli to Sirte, the wounded in the fighting were being treated on the floor of the hospital due to lack of medical necessities, according to one witness has reported.
Misrata has emerged as a symbol of resistance to the rebels, being the largest city in western Libya, which has not yet been conquered by Gaddafi but daily supports harsh punishment of the militia led by Jamis Gaddafi, son of satrap. A local doctor said yesterday the country that fighting has left over 23 dead.
However, Gaddafi is not committing a massacre on the insurgent population. The Libyan leader, a born survivor, he is observed by the international community is taking a very calculated response to the rebel challenge. The incursions of troops in the insurgent outbreaks have left a high death toll in an attempt to play down power to the rebel movement but also to lower the tone of the accusations against his regime.
While intensifying air strikes, the tankers can dock to charge only their deposits, the food reaches the eastern Libyan border with Egypt, but a shortage of products is remarkable because the country has stopped almost all economic activity, banks only work and tails are daily cash withdrawals.
Although the area dominated by insurgents and the National Council has three major ports (Benghazi, Tobruk and Darna), the cargo does not arrive at their docks. Very curious about the political leaders of the insurgency that the dictator ordered the bombing of oil facilities in a country which exported 1.7 million barrels of oil a day and living in chaos.
The regime refuses dialogue The Libyan government has refused this afternoon to have dialogue with the rebels offered to negotiate the departure of Gadhafi, reports the Arab television station Al Arabiya without adding details. A spokesman for the National Council, a sort of transitional government and the highest political body released Libya, said this morning that it had rejected an offer of dialogue made by an envoy of Gadhafi.
"I can confirm that we have contacted a representative from Gaddafi to find a negotiated solution. We have refused. We do not negotiate with someone who sheds the blood Libya and intends to continue to do so. Besides, why should we believe him now?" He assured Mustafa Gheriani, spokesman for the interim government.
Last night, Al Jazeera and two Arab newspapers reported some of the agreements that Gaddafi would have tried to come up with the revolutionaries, which the National Council flatly refused to consider an output that would offend the victims of the repression unleashed by the leader, pinpointed sources of opposition bloc.
According to these means in the negotiations seeking to negotiate his departure Gaddafi in exchange for security is guaranteed him and his family as well as no-one would be judged as requested by the General Council of the UN's International Criminal Court The Hague. Uncertainty in Benghazi in Benghazi, the situation is uncertain.
The early euphoria of victory has evaporated. The National Council directs the city from the stampede of the military is at a crossroads. Do not know if to reinforce the rebel front by sending more men or hunker down in the city to the growing rumors that Gaddafi is preparing a coup. Cited by African immigrants say they are persecuted by the military to force Gadhafi to fight.
They are rewarded with hundreds of dollars. If this is true conscription can be concluded that the dictator faces a problem: their firepower is far greater, but lacks sufficient troops and mercenaries to fight on all fronts in a country as huge -1.8 million km square-a wilderness, just over six million inhabitants, of which two were foreign workers.
The situation of the insurgents is the opposite: too many men, but their weaponry is skinny.
