Libyan rebels fled in disarray before the army harassment gadafista

Stuffed in a military uniform and accompanied by a large cohort of bodyguards, General Abdul Fatah Yunes, stated that "as in all desert war fronts changed every hour." "Ras Lanuf return today or tomorrow," he said in front of reporters. But the conviction Yunes not seem to respond to the reality that is seen today in the front line that has now been established around the village of Egeila, several tens of kilometers of the strategic and the Ras Lanuf petrochemical plant.

Themselves admitted that rebel fighters were captured by Ras Lanuf full on Friday night after a late onslaught that left 6 dead and dozens wounded in its ranks. A new military debacle confirms the systematic progression of the regime's army, much higher military paraphernalia to a conglomerate of militants who are supported only in its determination that was broken before the new aviation bombings launched against their most advanced positions located in Egeila .

After the blasts, which rose a huge column of smoke, dozens of jeeps and vehicles loaded with revolutionary left in the race towards Brega, home of another petrochemical plant of great strategic importance and that is delineated as the next target of the forces loyal to Tripoli. Despite the information disseminated by some media, Brega remained calm until this afternoon but the defenses in place around the enclave were as precarious as those seen in Ras Lanuf.

Several dozen all-terrain vehicles equipped with antiaircraft guns and antitank rockets equipped rebels. Most of the population has fled Brega aware that the progress of the armed forces of Gaddafi is inexorable. In fact, for the first time begin to hear voices discordant with the revolutionary euphoria was once unanimous in this region.
