The situation in Libya is sealed between violence, confusion and misinformation of a regime that does not give up for lost any battle. Gaddafi, who yesterday hit hard some rebel fiefdoms and now presented as the last bulwark against Al Qaeda has managed to halt the rebel advance on their stronghold in Sirte.
He also claims on public television that the revolt had been defeated in Al Zauiya, Misrata, and even Rus Lanuf Tobruk, in the extreme east. However, there are conflicting reports about the control of each of these cities. Dozens have been held related to the dictator's announcement in Tripoli, a city in which shots were heard during the night by the scheme attributed to these celebrations, reports the BBC.
While the clashes began in Misrata, unique enclave held by the rebels from the capital and the coastal city of Sirte, Gaddafi aviation fair has launched an airstrike on the Ras Lanuf oil enclave, where the outposts retreat revolutionary attack today intended to Sirte. Although Gaddafi proclaimed his victory in Misrata, 200 km from Tripoli, residents in the city have denied that has fallen under the control of Gaddafi by phone and have ensured that the city remains in the hands of the rebels, as it has been "During the last two weeks." These witnesses did confirm that he had heard "shots fired near the airport" and late in the morning at the entrance to the city, where troops are loyal to Qadhafi.
The dictator's forces used artillery and tanks on the western entrance of the city, according to another witness quoted by the agency. "They destroy everything. The revolutionaries do what they can to prevent them from reaching the center of the city," he says. To the birthplace of Gaddafi This morning, the rebel commander Abudl Gadir Bashir has said in a press conference that control the city of al-Nawfaliyah.
However, it is unclear who controls this city or Jawad bin located on the way of Sirte and where they are fighting the most intense fighting Sunday. The insurgents in eastern had advanced in recent harassment supporting helicopters and air planes Libyan armed forces, and just enjoy an advantage as they enter towns, volunteers willing to join the march to the capital swell their ranks.
Yesterday many more trucks than in previous days, full of feverish young and often reckless use of weapons, departed from the towns taken eager to overthrow Gaddafi. Sirte was in sight of the rebels. It is likely that if the rebels take Sirte-host country's vital oil installations and vital bastion of Gaddafi and his family, "the siege on the capital would be accelerated.
But you can never rule out a reaction of the soldiers and mercenaries of the autocrat. Especially if Gaddafi and his cohorts keep their word, always said you never would abscond and die at home. The behavior of soldiers and mercenaries from Gaddafi, after what happened yesterday in Zauiya-is becoming more brutal.
And if it increases their desperation, can not be ruled out even deadlier attacks. The rebels against the regime has in its arsenal modest arms, machine guns, grenade launchers, antiaircraft guns and antitank guns, but these weapons can do little when the truth against an army and a well-trained paramilitary units for years and much better equipped with tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft and helicopters.
In addition, a personality as Colonel Muammar Gaddafi can expect anything. The only thing that is clear is that there's no room for compromise.
