Police have shot today against an anti-government demonstration in Janzour district, west of Tripoli, killing at least five people, according to witnesses told the agency. While Fashlum district, east of Tripoli, security forces have been firing into the air while shouting slogans against the opposition leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The situation in Tripoli is "critical" as reported by the Youth Movement Libyan Twitter. In the capital, reports that opposition group, are being recorded "shots, tear gas and arrests" and that people are out of their homes in protests in which women are also participating. Today is a day of prayer in Libya and the security forces have been deployed around mosques in Tripoli to put down the protests.
The Al-Jazeera also reported "heavy gunfire" in the neighborhood of Yumhuría and a sector of the capital where you install a popular market on Fridays. In the last 24 hours, the violence has taken on the outskirts of Tripoli, but this morning has come to the city districts. Witnesses say that around Slatnah mosque in Janzour, chanted slogans such as "with our souls, our blood to protect Benghazi." Gaddafi loses control of various parts of the country Libyan security forces have tried to regain control of the town of Zauiya, about 50 miles west of the capital, but were repelled by government opponents, witnesses said.
This strategic city, home to an oil terminal on the main highway towards Tripoli, has become the focus of clashes between forces loyal to Qadhafi and civilians, some of them armed, who want the Libyan leader's downfall after 41 years in power . Zauiya yesterday received a harsh punishment for their rebellion.
Gaddafi's special forces and African mercenaries now famous yellow helmet among the Libyans for their cruelty, mercilessly attacked the inhabitants of Zauiya, last point on the map before arriving in Tripoli, where he hides Gaddafi. Some witnesses spoke of the thugs opened fire with heavy machine guns and threw grenades.
The attacks left 100 people dead, according to the Qatari television channel Al Jazeera. Gaddafi, as recognized by his son, has lost control of this once vanished, detained or killed soldiers and mercenaries who terrorized for days. Tyrant loyalists fought yesterday in a western town near the border with Tunisia, and Musratha, a town a hundred miles east of Tripoli late on Thursday claimed that he had fallen on the side of the rebels.
The government "is a desperate move," commented some rebels in eastern Libya, a liberated zone and the presence of the regime. But Gaddafi, also Tunisian and Egyptian dictators clinging to power before his flight or resignation, seems determined not to give up and builds up troops and gathers his thugs in the capital.
Armed clashes in the western region between the newly formed People's Councils and the forces of Colonel served yesterday as a prelude to what adventure as the dictator's final episode: the battle of Tripoli. The decisive battle can begin today, Friday, Islam's holy day, the day in the Egyptian opposition invariably struck with more force to the regime of Hosni Mubarak.
Protests from the Libyan capital this morning have been announced. The 200-kilometer road leading to Tripoli from the border with Tunisia are controlled by soldiers and special units of the Libyan Government, according to the testimonies of refugees leaving the country at the border of Ras Ajdir.
However, several towns and cities, including Zuara, Sabratah and Zauiya-continue from Wednesday taken by citizens. A self-enclosed dictator dictator increasingly withdrawn into himself and his verbosity, another statement made yesterday by phone on public television, the third since the protests began on 15 February.
Gadhafi abandoned the hard gesture had starred his speech on Wednesday and replaced by a paternalistic, more conciliatory, but insane raunchy. "They are 17 year olds to give them magic pills to beverages, milk, or Nescafé," the president said, referring to Libyan citizens who lead the revolt.
Gaddafi called "sons of Libya" to the dead who is leaving the revolution, said Bin Laden was behind the revolt and appealed for calm. That sent the week that his country had risen against tyranny. "Those who give up arms and show repentance will not be prosecuted. The committees of the revolution [one of the strongholds of the regime] call the citizens to cooperate and to report those who have turned to the young or have given them money, equipment , or have been poisoned with hallucinogenic pills ", claimed Gadhafi, who still talks as if they were a group raised slogans of dubious due black hands.
The satrap denied it was possible to see in Libya that has been seen in Tunisia and Egypt, and appealed to his usual tagline "The power is in the hands of the people." "Bin Laden, that's the enemy that is manipulating people." In Shahat, in eastern Libya, citizens received their words with outrage and cries of "butcher" and "murderer." Many of the Libyan rebels who control the east of the country protesting against what they consider poisoning to confuse the West and especially the United States.
"We are not terrorists, we are men who want freedom and a dignified life," noted Moafer, an electrical engineer for 24 years of Darna. In local radio, a group of men and some women give each day of the revolutionary advances in the area. "Until a few days everything was under control of the state, we could not talk about democracy, or anything other than the old Gaddafi's revolution and of itself." And now says that we are of Al Qaeda? Look at us, "look like terrorists ? ", questioning the man.
The rebel advance The growing siege Gadhafi, however, has not been completed yet. According to various media, in Sirte, the hometown of the dictator, the government maintains control. But the crucial oil facilities in Ras Lanuf and Marsa el Brega, near Benghazi, are already in rebel hands.
In any case, the oil business has begun to suffer the effects of the fighting: the extraction in the North African country has fallen to less than half of the 1.6 million barrels pumped daily before the crisis, according to estimates Analysts at Barclays Capital and Goldman Sachs. Reports coming from Tripoli to the border are still unclear, but they all point to the growing solitude of Gaddafi, held at the palace.
A Tunisian who came to Ras Ajdir told the situation and lived in the capital: "There are shootings and many dead in the streets. Gaddafi has no soldiers. The only ones who are with him are African mercenaries and their brigades." The green flag flies Gaddafi regime and only in places that its troops control, and conflict inevitably seems to have taken a turn and tribal loyalties based on regional origin and blood ties (for example, will rely heavily Gaddafi clan members and Magarha Gadafa, while giving you back the rest of the country, a heterodox social mix within which highlights the tribe Warfallah).
Wherever the rebels have managed to seize power, the former teaches Tri-decorated with the crescent and the star-waving in the wind. The red, green and black are the predominant symbol in the east, almost completely controlled by the rebels, although in the region remain sympathetic to the regime and the alert does not decrease in road checkpoints.
Tobruk Some banks opened yesterday after overnight money came from Benghazi, a city entirely in the hands of the rebels. "Although not able to pay wages, let's try to secure around 200 dinars per person for people to keep buying food," explained Mohamed Saleh, a leader of the steering committee that controls Tobruk.
But even in the rebel areas, trying to maintain some order, there remains "uncontrolled elements," explained Saleh. As happened in Tunis during the uprising in January, against the dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, these citizen committees improvise to try to organize everyday life in cities, although its main role is to ensure a modicum of security in the streets .
International concern in the world is growing concern about the drift of the conflict. No one wants to end the country entangled in a bloody civil war. Obama and Sarkozy called yesterday to Cameron to discuss joint action and "possible multilateral action." Especially concerned is the EU.
Brussels had a day of waiting period in which Hungary, as presidency, revealed that to avoid a hypothetical exodus of refugees to Europe, the EU will reinforce all means to assist those who flee across borders with Tunisia and Egypt . For starters, the EU will enable refugee shelters. Meanwhile, the last occurrence of the Gaddafi family, in this case the tyrant's son Saif Islam, was to invite media to a kind of tour, it is unclear whether by air or land, to see for themselves same as all the images are coming from conflict are false.
"Let them come, come and see that nothing is happening here," said denying the obvious. This newspaper spoke yesterday by phone to a Libyan who identified himself as a journalist and said the government is developing a media list to let them enter the country. But the apparent openness of Saif al Islam fits ill with the interference suffered by Thuraya Satellite Company, which yesterday said it will take legal action against Libya to prevent the service.
