While the Libyan people's uprising enters its third week, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has cons-appeal, Wednesday, March 2, threatening thousands of lives in case of Western intervention in Libya and send troops and fighter jets to the attack in the east, controlled by insurgents. In Tripoli, the Guide of the Revolution appeared before a crowd of supporters at a ceremony marking the 34th anniversary of the establishment of the "power of the masses" in the country.
"We can not allow the Americans or the West to intervene in Libya. If they do, they should know they run into a hell and a sea of blood worse than Iraq or Afghanistan . We will distribute millions of weapons and it will be another Vietnam, "he warned in a speech of more than two hours. Sure it would never leave the country and could not relinquish power, he again accused the Al-Qaeda of being behind the insurgency and promised amnesty to those who would make weapons, while ensuring that there was "no demonstrations in Libya." On the ground, the Libyan forces backed by tanks and heavy artillery, launched an attack Masra El-Brega, the most advanced city controlled by insurgents in the east.
But quickly, opposition leaders have said they encircled soldiers loyal to Colonel at the university. A little further north, the region of Ajdabiya was hit by air raids that have not made a victim. Humanitarian organizations and the international community engaged in a race against time.
France and the United Kingdom announced the shipment of several aircraft and a ship to evacuate thousands of people into Egypt. The World Food Programme, UN agency, has decreed a plan of emergency food aid to $ 38.7 million (28 million) for 2.7 million people in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.
Meanwhile, two U.S. warships, including the helicopter carrier USS Kearsarge, crossed the Suez Canal on Wednesday to reach the Mediterranean and position themselves off Libya. The option of military intervention, however, aroused deep divisions within NATO, because of fears of reactions in the Arab world.
