The city of Sirte 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.
The home of Libyan leader was transformed with the coming to power in 1969. Decadence and darkness gave way to the pomp that characterized the dictator who, in some moments of his term, tried to move the capital of the country at this point. He did not, but I got most of the major government institutions in Sirte establish their headquarters and various government departments.
Rebel victory in this seat would deal a major psychological blow to those loyal to the dictator and take control of a city name in the international arena, especially in the field of political relations in Africa. The town welcomed the signing of the 'Pact of Sirte' in 1999, a statement that gave rise to the African Union (inspired by the European Union), replacing the Organisation for African Unity.
Also, coincidence of fate, it was established in the headquarters of the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). Sirte also has an imposing Palacio de Congresos, the largest in North Africa, built with marble. Inside, there have been numerous summits and meetings which were attended by leaders from all over the world.
Reuters agency says hundreds of soldiers guard the area around the city every time you host an event of this nature. Traffic was interrupted for hours and dozens of police escort leading the official delegation of riding their Harley Davidson. These same soldiers are now replicated across the city to try to halt the advance of the revolutionary groups in recent days have taken control of parts of this as important as Jawad Bin, port Sedra, Ras Lanuf or Ben Jawad , about 100 kilometers of Sirte.
The worst forecasts raise fears that the city will become the scene of a bloody battle between supporters and opponents of the leader. If the latter were made with the victory, the road to Tripoli would be cleared.
