Libyan military defections mount
There is mounting evidence that a growing number of Libyan military personnel are defecting and joining the opposition against Colonel Gaddafi. At the nation’s biggest navy base in opposition- controlled Benghazi, officers have declared a ‘free Libya.’ In the western city of Zawiya, amateur film shows soldiers being carried by protesters. “One Libya, one people” they chanted. Opposition sources say the military units defecting to them are well-armed, well-disciplined and well- organised.

Top Libyan oil firm staff join protests – Quryna
RABAT Feb 26 (Reuters) – Employees at Libya’s Arabian Gulf Oil Co (Agoco) have joined the revolt against leader Muammar Gaddafi and have kept operations going since the unrest started, the online edition of the Quryna newspaper reported on Saturday. Quoting a statement it received from what it said were the company’s employees, Quryna said “the company runs its operations at all fields and production sites … and has managed since the start of the uprising to sustain operations at its oilfields … and at Al-Huraiqa port”. Agoco, affiliated to the state-owned National Oil Company, was pumping about 450,000 barrels per day in April 2010 from some of the country’s biggest oilfields including Sarir and Nafoora, according to its website. Three of its employees were killed during the unrest, it added.

BENGHAZI, Libya — The young men of Benghazi pounded the dreaded military barracks in the city center with everything they could find. They threw stones and crude bombs made of tin cans stuffed with gunpowder. They drove bulldozers into its walls. All under a blaze of gunfire from troops inside that literally tore people in half.

Foreigners in Libya report being beaten, robbed
Guest workers from Egypt, Tunisia and other nations tell of being attacked by Libyan security forces, robbed and accused of being traitors and inciting the uprising against Moammar Kadafi. Paying $200 for a government-sponsored taxi ride to the Tunisian border sounded like a bad deal. But Tunisian laborer Amr Soltan had no idea just how bad until he and his friends were driven instead to a prison, locked up for five days, robbed of their cellphones by police and beaten by guards.

Most of Libya is out of control of the government, and Muammar Gaddafi’s grip on power may soon be confined only to Tripoli, Libya’s former interior minister told Al Jazeera.

The embattled Libyan regime of passed out guns to civilian supporters, set up checkpoints and sent armed patrols roving the terrorised capital on Saturday. Some of Libya’s security forces reportedly have given up the fight. Footage believed to be filmed on Friday appeared to show soldiers in uniform joining the protesters.

Libya: Stop the Crackdown
In Libya, Colonel Qaddafi’s armed forces are using machine guns and fighter jets against pro-democracy protesters — hundreds have already been killed and, without immediate international action, the situation could spiral into a national bloodbath. The United Nations Security Council and the European Union are in emergency sessions on Libya this week. If we can pressure them to agree to a no-fly zone over Libya, a freeze of Qaddafi’s, his family’s and his high command’s assets, targeted sanctions against the regime, and international prosecution of any military officials involved in the crackdown — this could stop airforce bombings and split Qaddafi’s command structure. We have no time to lose — the people of Libya are being slaughtered by government forces. Click to send a message directly to all the UNSC delegations, EU Foreign Ministers and the High Representative for the EU to stop the violence and share this with everyone — let’s inundate them with messages and spur them to action!

GENEVA, Feb 27 (Reuters) – Nearly 100,000 people have fled violence in Libya in the past week, streaming into Tunisia and Egypt in a growing humanitarian crisis, the U.N. refugee agency said on Sunday.

How Egypt Can Help Libya
I suggest that the UN Security Council invite Egypt to intervene, if Libyans approve. A small part of Egypt’s army would dwarf Gaddafi’s forces. Without even having to fight, it could join and support the Libyan rebel forces that have already liberated eastern and southern Libya. This would change the situation completely.

Conquered by most of the civilizations that held sway over the Mediterranean, Libya’s rich cultural heritage includes Leptis Magna, a prominent coastal city of the Roman empire, whose ruins are some 130 km (80 miles) east of Tripoli.
