Description

Once again, the Libyan pro-democracy fighters seem to be unable to hold ground gained; they make headway for few miles then retreat as soon as they face pro-Gaddafi firepower. Meanwhile, pro-Gaddafi forces have adapted their efforts to frustrate NATO air strikes, no longer using tanks or other military vehicles that could easily be identified and attacked. They are using the same pick-up trucks and civilian guise as the rebel fighters. This situation on the ground has prompted NATO member states to consider the next phase of the battle to oust Muammar Gaddafi, including looking to Arab countries to train the Libyan rebels or to fund the training. Inside Story discusses.
