authorities have accepted that eastern cities such as al-Bayda and Benghazi - traditional pockets of resistance to the government - are now under the control of the opposition. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12533069
"What we are witnessing today is unimaginable. Warplanes and helicopters are indiscriminately bombing one area after another. There are many, many dead," Adel Mohamed Saleh said in a live broadcast.
"Anyone who moves, even if they are in their car, they will hit you."
Ali al-Essawi, who resigned as Libyan ambassador to India, also told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that fighter jets had been used by the government to bomb civilians http://english.aljazeera.net/news/af...251456133.html
The reports coming out of there are insane. The military is split and battling itself, mercenaries are firing on protesters, communications are being blocked, the son of Col Gaddafi stated that they would fight to the last bullet, etc.
Don't these two men have families back home?
How can they just abandon them?
I get they don't want to fire on innocents, but I would never leave my family. Surely, their families are going to be made an example of.
1456: In a statement on its website Human Rights Watch has compiled some powerful testimony, including a protester who describes the mood on the ground: "I saw guys taking off their shirts and exposing their chests to the snipers. I've never seen anything like it, I was very ashamed to hide under a tree but I am human."
He's speaking (ranting) right now, and literally saying he will fight to his death. That all the protesters should be killed, that they're terrorists, that they're being fed hallucinogenic drugs and being influenced by outsiders. He called for Libyans to attack and disarm them in the street.

This shit is crazy.
Yeah I see this getting wayyy more violent than in egypt
There is nothing as vicious as inter-tribal fighting.
Gaddafi's son wasn't bluffing when he said "We will fight to the last minute, until the last bullet." The Gaddafi tribe will do just that, and they will not blink twice while doing it...

The people shooting are African mercenaries. His own army is leaving him and supporting the protesters.

certainly seems like the Gaddafis have gone qwacky... its really odd.... especially Seif who was supposedly the hero of the Libyan youth..
check this NYTimes article citing the cables leaked by Wikileaks touches on their splurging and the hate the sons of Gaddafi garnered (except for Seif)
gruesome...at the end they show a body peppered with shotgun pellets
They just don't understand.. these leaders.. they don't get it.. they will fall now.. harder than ever.. nothing will be the same.

He's lost more cities today, and more military have changed sides to the people. Reports of his family members trying to flee the country. One report he may be threatening to blow up his oil pipelines.
The international community is turning further against him and struggling to evacuate all their people. Turkey is making the largest evacuation in it's history: 25,000 people.
