The offensive by troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi in Libya is putting this on the ropes to the rebels. In addition to Ras Lanuf back to bomb the planes of the dictator have ventured into rebel territory and attacked the oil city of Marsa el Brega, which took several days without suffering harassment from the military.
Brega is 90 miles west of Ras Lanuf on the road leading to Benghazi, the capital of the rebel government of transition. "There was a bombing in Brega, two fighters, two bombs", summed up the rebel Mohamed Otham in telephone conversation. Hours earlier, Ras Lanuf again placed in the target of the missile system.
Located in a desert area with significant oil facilities, the city acts as a front line of the rebels. Unlike yesterday, this time the bombs have not struck oil wells, but have fallen very close. In parallel to the punishment from the air, the units commanded by land Gaddafi's move to go eat ground to rebel advance.
At least two tanks have been seen by witnesses a few kilometers from Ras Lanuf. The armored vehicles have fired artillery against rebel trenches. This morning, insurgents have fired rockets towards the sea Meditarráneo after receiving reports that Gaddafi had deployed warships to intensify the offensive against rebel positions in Ras Lanuf.
These ships would have forced the withdrawal of the forces opposing the location of bin Jawad, further west. "We Jawad bin but the ships attacked us and had to retreat," he said last night a rebel militia. A military official of the insurgents has been unable to confirm this but its units are being bombarded from the sea.
According to a journalist contacted by Al Jazeera, the anti-Gaddafi regained control of the town, but this version has not been confirmed by other sources. Anti-regime fighters stay around Jawad Bin and close to the oil complex of Sidra, which also suffered the impact of yesterday's rocket system.
The rebels, stuck in the Ras Lanuf, begin to organize as an army with the help of former military deserters who advise them in military tactics. His goal, not simple, is to conquer Sirte, Gaddafi's birthplace and stronghold of his power with Tripoli. Tanks and planes of the system to keep it safe.
In Misrata, the largest town under rebel control west of the country, halfway between Sirte and Tripoli, the shortage of medicines is acute. Speaking to the BBC, a local doctor has said that the hospitals lack vaccines and anesthetics, and has warned that up to 300 patients may die in one day if you do not get the necessary equipment to continue dialysis treatment for kidney patients .
Misrata now there is fighting, but the public expects a new offensive by forces loyal to the Libyan leader at any time, after intense attacks last weekend. Zauiya, Gaddafi held by rebels fighting to overthrow Gaddafi received a major setback on the western front to lose control of the strategic enclave Zauiya, a town 50 kilometers from Tripoli and home to a major oil refinery.
The regime's troops besieging a week ago the city with tanks, planes and helicopters have shifted the defenses of the insurgents, who remained holed up inside the town, according to the account of a witness quoted by AFP. "The city is currently under the control of the Army," stated this witness.
"The fighting stopped last night. Today the situation is calm. I used to flee the city with my family. I turn to Jedayem", a small village 3 kilometers from Zauiya on the road to Tripoli. The situation there remains unclear.
