Gadhafi's power is limited to two cities
The Libyan revolutionary control most of the cities, only lack the capital and the birthplace of Muammar
TRIPOLI , LIBYA (28/FEB/2011) .- The leader of the Libyan Revolution Muammar Gadhafi, only has two bastions of resistance against demonstrators calling for his ouster: Tripoli, the capital, and Sirte, his hometown .
was controlled the second city, whose buildings had bullet holes, reflecting the battle lost by regime loyalists.
A police officer who defected 10 days ago to join the protests, told on condition of anonymity, that more than two thousand comrades did the same and that all were willing to defend with their lives Zauiya. "Yes, we are fighting for freedom, we are ready to die for." Even the experienced Ahmed el-Gatrani general said his forces would also help the rebels.
Analysts said that while revolutionaries could take the capital and attempting to kill Gadhafi, the leader still has the power to foment chaos or civil war. Muammar blames the organization of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb for the unrest and said that the people support. However, it is closer, although his son Saif al-Islam Gadhafi said the opposite yesterday to the U.S. program "This Week" on ABC. "The whole South is calm. The West is calm. The Center is calm. Even some of the East, is very different reality and what is said in the media. "
in Benghazi As the protesters formed a National Council and called it as "the political face of the revolution." Abdelhafiz Hoga, a spokesman for the so-called Revolutionary Coalition February 17, emphasized that "there is a provisional government" and that his mission is to "manage the transition process." Hoga added: "The Council has not yet been fully formed and its members have been appointed."
Muammar Gadhafi dismissed the new sanctions adopted on Saturday in the Security Council of the United Nations against him and said the rebels will be surrounded and defeated. In an interview with Pink Serbian television said "that UN can not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, unless a country is attacking another."
Gadhafi also accused the world body to "make decisions based on press reports" and called for a UN commission to investigate the situation in his country. Press

afrol News, 28 February
"Mercenaries" is the most used word these days among the Libyan opposition to Qaddafi. Every time longer used to describe any person loyal to the Gaddafi regime, while for most people is used for "black Africans", presumably to serve the regime. As one city after another is "free", especially after the support of army units and the Libyan police, civilians and Libyan troops agree to mention the recent fighting between the Libyan nationals. "Mercenaries" have been and are the enemy.
Sidsel Wold, a veteran journalist with the Norwegian broadcaster 'NRK'y currently located in Al-Bayda, has documented the rhetoric that we are living in Libya. Different people explained that the great battle in this city in eastern Libya was fought around a quarter, to which everyone referred to as defended by mercenaries. But when filming the alleged "mercenaries" captured, it appeared that most had an Arabic appearance. The few-like sub-Saharan Africa were dressed in civilian clothes. And talking to them, it became clear that several of these African "mercenaries" had been captured after the fighting. Sidsel Wold also witnessed and filmed the interrogation of a citizen of Chad captured by an army officer who had defected. The chad young civilian clothes, insisted it was a simple civil a worker. "Asked why he and other Africans were seen fleeing, he explained that he had simply" frightened by the gunfire. " The Libyan army officer who had defected clearly says" not believe "the young Africa. In his view, the fact that a group of five sub-Saharan Africans trying to escape from the city was "suspect" in itself. The five youths are still being held - apparently humane - suspected of being "mercenaries". But Al-Bayda, continues the systematic and arbitrary detention of the African sub
"Somalis in Tripoli say they are being persecuted on suspicion of being mercenaries, "recently reported Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman for the UN agency for refugees (UNHCR), adding that the agency was" increasingly concerned ". no reliable sources who have been able to document this. The League of Human Rights in Libya said today that there are about 6,000 mercenaries in Libya, "of which 3,000 are in Tripoli." However, no documentation has been submitted to confirm this information. Hadi Shalluf Libyan lawyer, member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) today called on the court deemed the presidents of African countries to support sending mercenaries Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. "According to the statutes of the ICC, may also be prosecuted for contributing to crimes against humanity being committed by Gaddafi" Shalluf said in a press conference in Paris on the leaders of countries like Chad, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The lawyer, who now works in the case of Darfur within the ICC, said there is evidence that these presidents have sent mercenaries to Libya at the request of Qaddafi, abandoned by most of his troops.

. Sidsel Wold also spoke to a group of young Libyans, consisting of young civilians and officers who have deserted the army, dedicated to police the streets following the orders of the provisional authorities of the city. Young explained that they were openly in the streets trying to "get mercenaries to deliver them to the authorities." and arrivals information afrol News from other cities "liberated" Libya are similar. In Benghazi, last week, citizens attacked and destroyed a building in which 36 citizens were in Chad, Niger and Sudan. The Africans were accused of being "mercenaries" and later arrested, according to local residents said.
- Brave Gaddafi Libyan opponents report on their struggle against the regime through social networks on the Internet or by telephone. The "Libyan Youth Movement," remains in permanent contact with the Libyans in the war zone and videos send their information through communication networks, and generally refers to those who continue to resist popular revolution as "mercenaries." These sources often mention that the interim authorities in the "liberated cities" arming local youth to go after the "mercenaries." There are frequent posts victorious tone on "mercenaries fleeing demonstrators" and how young people "captured the mercenaries." Equally disturbing, the most terrible scenes - like the killing of Libyan women and children - are always attributed to "mercenaries", apparently under the belief that a Libyan citizen would never do such acts of barbarism. However, no evidence is presented on the authorship of these facts.
- As widespread hatred against the "black African mercenaries" is increasing, not all Africans are captured arbitrarily treated humanely by the provisional authorities in Al-Bayda. There are a growing number of Sub-Saharan information about

ianos killed by the crowds at the "Libya released." For example, last week a Turkish worker in the construction sector BBC stated: "We had 70 to 80 people in Chad who worked for our company and they were killed with axes, while the attackers said, 'You are contributing troops to Gaddafi'. The Sudanese were also slaughtered. We saw with our own eyes" . An employee of Sierra Leone in Tripoli, told his friend: "All the black Africans are becoming targets. I am writing to inform you how the situation is deteriorating every hour in Tripoli, especially for us black Africans who have been threatened with violence, accused of siding with the regime. "
Abigail Hauslohner, a journalist with Time magazine that currently in Benghazi, spoke to volunteers and Idrid Salaama Shebany Hayan, who said they were afraid that "people attacked the Africans." The workers were attacked while trying to escape the chaos, they added. A worker from Ghana, added that " Libyans, when they see black people, kill them. "
The number of sub-Saharan Africans living in Libya is not clear, but several company sources civil speak of "several hundreds of thousands" of legally registered African. In addition, a large unknown number of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers in the country. is widely believed that, indeed, it is mercenary troops in Libya, although the evidence supporting this theory are very weak. Several sources spoke of a secret recruitment of mercenaries from various rebel groups that the regime of Gaddafi has supported throughout its history, especially since the conflict in Darfur.
However, Image sympathetic to Gaddafi dead, apparently documenting the existence of "black African mercenaries" in Libya
Several videos and photos documenting alleged mercenary groups in Libya, circulating on the Internet. Most say little about the origin of these forces pro-Gaddafi, who also could be Libyans. Some images, however, show dark-skinned people - uniformed and plain clothes - apparently of African origin.
The few Africans who have been caught with weapons and have spoken to Western journalists claim not to be mercenaries, but were seeking work in Libya. They claim to have been picked up by officials who had promised to work in Tripoli. In the capital, were sent to the army barracks, which gave them weapons, a large sum of money and the order to shoot demonstrators. But most sub-Saharan arbitrarily detained in the "Libya released" deny having participated in the fighting, saying who are employees or are looking for work.
Thus, emerging growing doubts about the existence of mercenaries in Africa. Today, Ghanaians have been fearful that finally fled Egypt said that the Libyans were obliged to "masquerade as mercenaries", publishing his photographs in media and social networks like YouTube and Facebook. No government in Africa, even the African Union (AU), has reacted to allegations of Libyan mercenaries on the African presence in Libya, with the exception of Chad. "Chad has not sent or recruited youths in Chad to serve as mercenaries in Libya," the government said in a recent statement, adding that the information on mercenaries from Chad are "likely to cause serious physical and materials Chadians living in Libya."

On Wednesday, the Libyan leader sent a plane to Malta with seven pilots on board, confirmed yesterday at a press conference the Prime Minister of Malta, Lawrence Gonzi. However, according Gonzi, the plane was denied landing permission and had to return to Libya, since the aircraft does not present any plan or flight path nor informed about the identity of the crew and passengers on the plane . Gonzi refused further reports in some media, in stating that Gaddafi's daughter was a person who was in the plane they refused to land in Malta.
Gonzi also confirmed that Libya has made a formal request to retrieve the two fighters, but the request has been rejected by the government of Malta. Yesterday, Prime Minister of Malta, which until now had been careful in his criticism of the neighboring country, clearly distanced himself from the regime of Gaddafi.
"The Libyan regime can not deny the legitimate demands of the people, and Gaddafi's regime's days are so numbered," he said Lawrence Gonzi. Malta has received in recent days about 8,000 refugees from Libya and expects that number to increase significantly in the coming days.
Malta's Prime Minister also stressed that his country intends to be a basis for countries that want to use military force to overthrow the regime of Gaddafi. "Malta wants peace and stability return to the region as soon as possible. The priority now must be a coordinated international effort to bring humanitarian aid such as food and medicine to the Libyan people," Gonzi said.
