Libyan rebels are desperately trying to resist the advance of troops loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi between the towns of Brega and Ajdabiya, about 80 miles east, the main communications hub in the east. In the past four days, militants have lost more than the 110 kilometers stretch between Brega and Ras Lanuf oil enclave, an area they had gained gadafistas brigades.
Troops loyal to Qadhafi continue its unstoppable advance and come to Benghazi, the symbol of popular uprising against the Libyan colonel and seat of government formed by the rebel side and chaired by a former minister of Gaddafi. According to reports by Reuters, Gaddafi's troops secure shown to achieve the conquest of the city of Benghazi.
However, the rebels have failed to recognize these developments and say they have retaken control of the city of Brega on Sunday night. There is no confirmation on that point. Gaddafi's government, which has already been made with strategic points of rebel resistance, stresses and threatened to "bury" the rebels, who again accused of being paid by Al Qaeda and "secret services" of other countries.
The fighting took place between confusing and inaccurate information, mainly due to the lack of journalists who have fled the bombing gadafistas hardness and the limited information offered by the authorities on both sides. According to Mustafa Geriani rebel spokesman, the rebels still control Brega, target of bombing for several days.
For its part, the Qatari television station Al Jazeera has said that Gaddafi's forces bombarded the town of Al Aguila, implying the existence of rebel resistance in this town 30 kilometers west of Brega. Also, Al Jazeera has reported the existence of specific troop landings on the coast gadafistas Brega.
On the other side of the information, Libyan state television, which holds that Gaddafi's troops have already been made and the control of these two populations. The truth is that progress by leaps and bounds from the forces of the Libyan regime has caused fears among some residents of the city of Ajdabiya, the main communications hub in the rebel zone and last important town before the rebel capital of Benghazi, some families have begun to evacuate.
"Several families have left the city, but most still remain there," said a member of the press commission of the rebels, Bara al-Khatib, who said they had stepped up security measures and defensive while the rebels still holding out in Brega. The fear of retaliation by gadafistas adds the fear of a siege of the city of Benghazi, the provisional capital of the rebels, and the possibility that the Libyan colonel forces try to reach Tobruk and then control the border with Egypt.
The murder yesterday in an ambush camera television channel Al Jazeera Ali Al Jaber has led to half a thousand international journalists in the area under rebel control to fall back towards Tobruk, where he has directed a large number of correspondents . The revolutionaries say try to contain and harass the advance of Gaddafi loyalists, who last Sunday impose its air superiority, sea and artillery.
Asked by journalists, Geriani justified the rapid progress in the field of Gaddafi's forces by the massive use of artillery and aerial bombardment and sea. "We're not talking about a conventional war, a war in the desert, it is logical that progress and setbacks," he said. On the other hand, stressed that the former Army military professionals who have re-enlisted in the shattered opposition armed forces are participating in rebel fighting and trying to organize the militia.
Meanwhile, continued for a second day harassment of forces loyal to Qaddafi Misrata City, a rebel enclave in the West feud gadafista country.
