The forces of Muammar Gadhafi Libyan rebels faced on several fronts in the midst of an escalation of the crisis and the capital was the scene of riots when gunmen opened fire to disperse protesters who shouted "Gadhafi is the enemy of God." Vowing to "victory or death", the rebels moved into the eastern of the country rose on Friday to a large oil terminal at Ras Lanuf, located in a key coastal road, and declared that they took the airport.
In the west, security forces loyal to Gadhafi launched an offensive to regain Zawiyah, a town several days challenging his authority, and residents reported 30 civilians dead. Among the victims was the leader of the rebels in the area. The regions of the east, around the city of Benghazi, have been in rebel hands after a popular revolt against the order of four decades of Gadhafi.

The revolt is causing a humanitarian crisis, especially in the Tunisian border, where tens of thousands have fled to foreign workers.
However, an airlift organized by the international community began to ease the human tide from Libya while word spread among the refugees that have airplanes to take home. The rebels said earlier they were only open to negotiate the exile or resignation of the Libyan leader, following attacks on civilians who have been condemned by the international community and triggered economic sanctions and weapons, plus an investigation into the international tribunal for crimes war.
