Ras Lanuf (Libya) (editorial / Agencies) .- The young militants fighting the fight for professional military dictator Gaddafi Muanmar starting to suffer from disorganization and lack of responsibility to guide them in their offensive to seize control of cities of Sirte and Ras Lanuf. Without military commanders, no training and the only motivation to fight for freedom and democracy that gives them a better future, the rebels trying to weapons like machine guns and howitzers combat ready force of troops loyal to Qadhafi.
The testimony taken by a French television journalist France24 in the city of Ras Lanuf clear by what means and in what circumstances the rebel militia fighting. With sunglasses, a red revolutionary berets (which contrasts with the green uniform and well prepared for military pro-Gaddafi) and a black jersey (which seeks to emulate the color of the flag of Libya independence contrasts with the full green imposed Gaddafi's revolution by a little over forty years, the young Mohamed said: "At night the chiefs sleeping at home with their wives and ordered us to stay in front, alone, without clear orders and in many cases with no weapons ammunition because we are not organized in logistics and we hope to receive arms and ammunition when they raided a military government, "says the young rebel.
Monday, the rebels advancing toward the city of Jawad Bin -600 km east of Tripoli, who yesterday spent the fiercest fighting. Gaddafi's troops launched heavy attacks against the city on the way to Sirte, his hometown, according to the Qatari television network Al Jazeera. Aviation loyal to Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi continues bombing near Ras Lanuf, in eastern Libya, and a new bomb fell today to a mile from where the militants, according to EFE found there.
Aviation loyal to Muammar al-Gaddafi today has bombarded the besieged city of Al Zauiya, 92 km west of Tripoli, said today Qatari Al-Jazeera network. Rebel anti-aircraft batteries opened fire before the arrival of the aircraft, which dumped his bomb a few hundred meters from the road in desert areas.
The rebel fighters now hold control of the port and oil terminal at Ras Lanuf, 200 kilometers east of Sirte, his next military target, and keep fighting in Ben Jawad, halfway between the two towns, rebel sources told EFE. In the port terminal, a dozen batteries guarding the strategic location and over a hundred militiamen protect their access, as Reuters noted today.
The rebels ask the world to intervene in Libya rebels in eastern Libya Muammar Gadhafi fear that acts as a "wounded lion" and attack Iraq's oil fields if the West does not try to stop him with tactical bombing, as indicated by a spokesman for the antigovernment forces, reports Reuters. "The West must act or this crazy (Gaddafi) will do anything to the oil wells.
It's like a wounded wolf. If the West does not intervene with tactical air strikes could leave the fields out of play for a long period of time," warned Mustafa Gheriani, spokesman for the rebels in Benghazi. Gheriani has told Reuters from Benghazi, the second largest town, that "there are almost 17,000 people (rebel fighters) out there in Ajdabiya and beyond, but are scattered." No casualty figures, but hospitals are overcrowded No official figures of dead and wounded to illustrate the slaughter that may be occurring in Libya, in the absence of consensus of the international community to intervene.
The only information is that provided medical supplies last week that amounted to 6,000 people killed since the start of the fighting ten days ago. But what is certain is that hospitals in Benghazi and Ras Lanuf Misrata, where attacks have intensified and produced live-fire since last Saturday, there are hundreds of injured and "many people have been killed on the side of the rebels "according to witnesses interviewed by reporters from the French channel France24.
Residents in Ras Lanuf, located in eastern Libya, have started to leave the city on Monday for fear that there is a crackdown by forces loyal to the president, Muammar Gaddafi, as has happened in other parts of the coast. "We're Staying within simply because we will be safer," said the father of a family that has decided to leave the city with all their belongings.
Meanwhile, the rebels stationed at checkpoints located on the road between Ras Lanuf Jawad Bin indicated that they are retreating into the wilderness to salvage the few weapons we have to fight the forces of Qaddafi, as reported Reuters news agency. "We heard that our positions will be bombed, so we protected our weapons, we have taken to the desert," he assured one of the rebels.
On Sunday, government troops recovered Jawad Bin near Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, after an intense bombardment that forced the opposition to regroup in Ras Lanuf. However, many of them have already expressed their intention to launch a counterattack. As a result of these clashes, at least two people were killed and 31 wounded, as reported by medical sources Ras Lanuf.
These figures could be higher, since some of those affected have not managed to reach hospitals because of the intensity of the fighting. Libyan rebels and 14 soldiers taken prisoners in the framework of fighting against the troops of the leader Muammar al-Gaddafi in the west, said a spokesman of the insurgency to the Arab television station Al Jazeera.
He stated that the 14 soldiers of the brigade Jamies, four injured were taken to hospital, according to news agency DPA. In the fighting for control of the cities of Misurata and Al Zawiya there were deaths on both sides, while the situation at the front remained unchanged in both the west and the east coast.
In addition, the battle for the town of Bin Jawad remains undecided, said the spokesman. Meanwhile, general secretary of the Libyan Foreign Ministry, Ibrahim Yuma, slammed as "unacceptable and illegal" the contacts of French and British diplomats with rebels in the east of the country, considering that the only interlocutor for foreigners should be the Libyan government.
Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) and the UN and Libya sent missions to monitor the situation. Libyan Foreign Minister, Moussa Kussa, agreed late on Sunday to send a UN team to Tripoli, while the EU on its way to the North African country, according to the office of EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
The battle in Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte City has become one of the hotspots of the riots in Libya. Halfway between Tripoli and Benghazi, the birthplace of Muammar Gaddafi has been and remains a stronghold of the dictator, but the revolutionaries have set the goal made him determined to conquer and progress.
The strategic importance of Sirte, which hosts a huge military base and several oil installations, we must add the symbolic value that holds for the Gaddafi regime.
