Libya: On the frontline during the bloody battle for Zawiya

We couldn't see them coming but we saw the plumes of smoke. The rebels were all desperately tooling up and firing back. They were mostly ordinary people. I saw one young man who looked like a student with curly hair and glasses being told how to hold a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and crouch and fire it. He then ran off to battle. We went inside the mosque where doctors were setting up an aid station.

The tanks were in the square, and there were people crying, because they thought they were finished, and this was the end. But then there was cheering from outside, and we went out and there was a tank on fire right there. People were jumping round, celebrating – but a sniper somewhere killed a man. We made for the hospital, taking a lift in an ambulance. Everyone was out on the street, dancing around the captured military vehicles. There were horrific injuries in the hospital.

L'offre, qui a été présentée au conseil intérimaire mis sur pied par l'opposition à Benghazi, a été immédiatement rejetée par les insurgés. Dans la journée, les forces libyennes loyalistes, engagées dans une contre-offensive dans le golfe de Syrte, ont mené des attaques aériennes contre le port pétrolier de Ras Lanouf alors que les efforts s'accélèrent pour tenter de soulager le sort des populations civiles et endiguer leur exode. Les combats se poursuivent à Ras Lanouf Trois raids aériens ont visé lundi le port pétrolier stratégique de Ras Lanouf pris vendredi par l'insurrection, où des insurgés ont répliqué avec de l'artillerie anti-aérienne.
