Responsibility

Excellent article from AlJazeera LINK

"So who bears the responsibility for turning Libya into a war zone and an object of an international military intervention?
Could it be those who confronted a peaceful civil uprising for freedom with lethal force, and when it escalated into a full-fledged revolt, used aerial bombardments, heavy artillery to quell it?"

Spring Movements

Sunday 20March Quick Summary

• Airstrikes on road to Benghazi were very effective with lots of Qadhaffi tanks and APCs destroyed.
• Benghazi phone lines still down, almost 40 hours. Some say they can get through on Libyana but can't confirm that
• Tripoli lines still up, lots of static and probably heavily monitored
• Someone in Benghazi with sat internet skyped that city is tense because they expect remnants of Qadhaffi's Lijan Thawriya forces in city. Apparently lots of roadblocks everywhere.

Ongoing attack on Benghazi by Qadhaffi

Best coverage this morning from Benghazi is on Libya Alhurra. Apparently no foreign journalists in the area.

This is the meaning of Qadhaffi's ceasefire.
His plan is to embedd as many pro-Qadhaffi forces in Benghazi to make the protection of civilians difficult.
