For just over three weeks now, the streets of Libya have been awash with rebelling blood, over the disillusioned nature of the country’s leader.

On February 15^th 2010, rebel’s and anti-governmental groups had engaged in numerous protests and outbreaks in an attempt to halt the 41-year reign of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who by all accounts, has been reluctant to step down.

So much so, that in various interviews and comments made to the world’s press, he has denied any unrestful nature within the countries borders, and has also sent out numerous warnings to the Western World that if they were to launch any attempt of an over-throw, this war would be an extremely long and bloody one.

The opposing battle for land and cityies between the pro-Gaddafi and anti-government regimes has been intensifying ever since the 15^th, with various land fights and fire-arms exchanges taking place throughout the Country, as pressure mounts on Gaddafi to stand-down.

Gaddafi’s men are currently attempting to prise the areas of both eastern and western Libya from the opposing protesters, an attempt seemingly flawed, as rebels fought off an attack on the western province of Zawiya, the closest city to the Capital of Tripoli, where Gaddafi is currently situated. Rebels are now controlling all of the eastern territories, and many areas of the west.

So what of the west’s intervention? Well, it seems that stage-one of such a move is being forwarded by Prime Minister Davis Cameron and US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, who, along with the UN, are continuing negotiations to implement a ‘no-fly zone’ over the country, amid fears of air strikes on the civilians of Libya by their own government. £50 Billion of the country’s assets have also been frozen.

Cameron has even forwarded the notion that military deployment may be on the cards, saying that “we do not in any way rule out the use of military assets to deal with Gadder’s regime.”

Until western intervention takes place, Gaddafi will continue to launch attacks on rebel-forces controlled provinces in the eastern areas of Libya, as only very recently on the 2nd March, rebel forces fought off approaches to take over the oil town of Brega, a town pivotal in the tactical scheme of Gaddifi’s quest to regain power.

With the risk of a ‘no-fly’ zone regulation not being obeyed by all parties, added to the news that the International Criminal Court is about to investigate the leader over crimes against humanity, it seems this tale of territorial trauma will not be ending soon.
