The fighting between the forces of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, and the rebels continued today on all fronts of the Libyan war, and so very unusual, also erupted in the capital Tripoli, according to the Qatari television network Al Jazeera. Some clashes were reported today between security forces and demonstrators against the regime of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, in the neighborhood of Suq Al Yuma in the west of the capital, which so far has remained under government control and only has experienced outbreaks of protest.
The National Transitional Council (CNT), the highest governing body of the rebels in Benghazi, could not confirm this information but an inhabitant of Suq al Yuma, contacted by telephone, said "the situation is not good" in this neighborhood, where today was water cut. According to the stories of some citizens and international organizations have had access to the capital, Tripoli becoming scarce supplies, especially gasoline, while prices of staples such as sugar and oil, have skyrocketed.
The same situation occurs in Misrata, besieged and blocked by government troops, who yesterday bombed the fuel tanks that supply the city, which could worsen the humanitarian crisis and live the third city of Libya. The fighting continued today in Misrata another day and again concentrated in the area of Burgueya, according to Al Jazeera.
The rebels took control of this area two days ago, confirmed a spokesman for the rebels Misrata in Benghazi, but the militia consulted sources explained that this area has never been fully secured due to its location. Burgueya is Misrata outside and adjacent to the main position of Gadhafi troops where they are concentrated and from where they launch their attacks Misrata, city to which they besieged and blocked for over two months.
This weekend, government troops used small planes to bomb Misrata, violating the air exclusion zone imposed on Libya by the UN resolution 1973, as confirmed Abdelhafid Ghoga, spokesman and vice president of the CNT. Moreover, Libyan state television reported today that rebel groups in the city of Misrata have surrendered and have been delivered to the troops of Gaddafi, who have been fighting against for more than two months.
Misrata is currently the only major town held by rebels in western Libya, an area that has remained in government hands since the beginning of the riots in late February. The third largest city in Libya, with 400 thousand inhabitants, has witnessed the most violent fights and a symbol of rebel resistance.
Meanwhile, NATO troops attacked positions in Misrata Gaddafi and Yefren Area and Al-Hera, in the west, in the mountains of Nafusa, Libyan television reported. NATO planes also attacked positions near the town gadafistas Zinta said Al Jazeera, without giving further details. The NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said today that NATO bombing will continue to enforce the Security Council resolution asking the UN to cease all attacks against civilians and immediate ceasefire.
Gaddafi's forces also held open the front southeast of Libya, which launched on Saturday an attack against the city of Yalu, whose control is disputed for several days the rebels and troops of Gaddafi. For its part, Abelhafid Ghoga, said Yalu and other oases in the southeast region "are with the revolution" and remain in the hands of insurgents, while government troops have repeatedly attempted to capture them.
Ghoga rebels said, both the Army formed in eastern Libya and civilians who have taken up arms, have the ability to fight on all fronts in Libya, but again asked the international community to send weapons to the rebels. For the moment, there is no country that has shown itself willing to do so, although Ghoga announced last night that the rebels were in the process of obtaining weapons from Italy, which Rome declined rapidly.
