Benghazi - Ajdabiya threatens to become a cursed name. Now, in the Civil War brought to international crisis, that ordinary village, which has a soul if he has hidden away, is a strategically important location. The young fighters (shabab) Libya should free conquered. They should do it soon. If you do not make it are trouble for everyone.
Except for Qaddafi that controls it. For now the news is not good. Ajdabiya was a large town with no interest. No one even thought of spending a weekend hotel Amal, stationed north of the city, heading towards Tripoli. Only for the merchants from the Sahara was a popular destination. After exhausting camel could get his feet wet in the Mediterranean that is very close.
For truck drivers was an important crossroads because the roads branch off from there to Benghazi, Kufra, Tobruk, Sirte. In addition to the west, always Ajdabiya, there are most of the oil fields. The insurgents have lost Ajdabiya Gaddafi when they started the reconquest of the rebellious cities.
Now if we could recover the large aircraft operation blessed by the UN could mark an important point in its favor. It would be a success. It would mean that the support of coalition air to young fighters in Libya is free of something, and that the timing of the no-fly zones are not likely to stretch too much, because after the insurgents Ajdabiya date back to the west and you will recover Brega, Ras Lanuf, and Why not? Sirte, to reduce the space of Gaddafi, perched in Tripoli.
But the Libyan freedom fighters are covered up in front of Ajdabiya. Not advancing. They do not make. They are there in the desert overlooking the city walls with Kalashnikov puntanti, quick to disperse the first rocket or mortar round. There is no shadow of a command, it seems that every fighter acting on his own initiative, as and when it wants.
One gets the impression that a shabab you get out of bed when it suits them, go to the front, then back home at lunchtime, with its half if he has, and then return before Ajdabiya until sunset. The times are likely to lengthen, and the commitment of Western powers to become heavier. It would be unfair on him to give young people, often adolescents, because they do not put enough in the game of their lives.
The enthusiasm and courage that there are insufficient to cope with a military force trained and better armed what is the army of Gaddafi. There Shabab not scrap the same reasons to explain the reasons for the general discomfort. Impotence before Ajdabiya, though understandable, is humiliating.
They, the Qaddafi, have the "locusts". The locusts are rockets raining down like hail on the attackers armed with machine guns only, weapons are only useful in clashes in the city, from house to house, street to street, not to conquer a city. They also have some tank, "those sons of sharmutta" Slut, who keep away the enemies with their guns with a range without competition.
They lost aviation, the planes also spared by Mirages and Tornado of the coalition are indeed nailed to the ground by no-fly zone, which does not allow them to take off. But resist the same, "those sons of sharmutta" and stop what was supposed to be the major counter-offensive of the insurgents.
From America came a general Libyan course, that would remedy the lack of military preparedness of young fighters, most protesters armed soldiers. It's called Khalifa and Hefter, before arguing with Kadhafi has ordered the Libyan troops in Chad. Many rely on him. But General Hefter takes time and time is short.
Sos is a party from Benghazi Libyan delegation to direct the UN, New York, spent some time with Libya free to ask for a stronger commitment of the coalition against Gaddafi. More raids, more bombs. The tactic was probably expected to cut supply lines to the cities conquered by Gaddafi is aligned along the Mediterranean coast of twelve hundred kilometers from Tripoli to Benghazi.
Cities, especially those of the East, far apart, and with logistics vulnerable. Once isolated had become an easy outlet for the insurgents. The strength of Ajdabiya has shown that it is not so young people free of Libya can not, at least for the moment to launch an attack effectively. The new tactic calls for more commitment on the part of the coalition, the more open-mindedness in the choice of goals, notably longer.
Because now we must wait for the garrisons Gaddafi suffer from isolation to the point of not being able to resist the hostile population. Or wait eroded tribal alliance rests on which Gaddafi. Warfalla of the tribe, numerous and powerful, not always faithful to Gaddafi, but a crucial component of its deployment, might hold surprises.
However, these are mere hypotheses advanced to the rescue of military weakness objective of free Libya. So far, no one could say that the coalition has failed in its first targets. The Rafales French Mirages and shot with precision shots early on the outskirts of Benghazi, where the tanks are still gutted by their missiles.
French jets have actually saved Benghazi, where Friday night had already infiltrated the vanguard Gaddafi. Now the city dominates the anxiety. It is feared that the air raids of the coalition are not sufficient and that Libya is not free to be able to defend themselves, when those raids will cease.
There is concern, in short, that the return of Gaddafi by no means removed. A return to peace Benghazi when the dictator is no longer of this earth.
