Rebels tell the AFP news agency they have retaken the eastern town of Brega, and a journalist confirms their forces are in the town centre. "We are in the centre of Brega," rebel fighter Abdelsalam al-Maadani told AFP by telephone.

"Gaddafi's forces are on the retreat and should now be at Al-Bisher (30km, 20 miles) west of Brega," he said.
 
A senior Libyan army officer is reported to have been captured.


"We're hearing reports that the number three in Gaddafi's army, Bilgasim Al-Ganga, has been captured overnight in fighting in Ajdabiya. He has a fierce reputation among the opposition who accuse him of committing many atrocities under the Gaddafi regime.

There is muted optimism. It really does feel the momentum of the Gaddafi forces has been stopped. They are not outwardly celebrating but they are definitely optimistic."

Rumours have been circulating online and in mainstream media for about two weeks that Khamis Al Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi, has been killed. Tonight, the rumours are making the rounds again, with a new twist. They say the 27-year-old militia leader, who runs a brigade which carries his name, was killed during an air raid on Bab Al Aziziya Compound, where the Gaddafis reside in Tripoli. Unconfirmed reports add that his brother Muattasim was killed by Gaddafi for ‘refusing to follow' orders. Al Arabiya (Ar) confirms news of Khamis' death, quoting unnamed sources while the Libyan denies it.

Obama To Deliver National Address On Libya Monday

Written by Associated Press on March 26, 2011 2:15 pm

WASHINGTON - To a nation and a Congress seeking answers, President Barack Obama on Monday will offer his most expansive explanation of the U.S. role in the Libyan war, delivering a speech that is expected to cover the path ahead and his rationale about the appropriate use of force.

Obama's 7:30 p.m. EDT speech, to be given from the National Defense University in Washington, comes as leading Republican lawmakers and some from his own party have pressed him for clarity about the goals and exit strategy of the United States. Obama and top U.S. security officials spent about an hour talking to lawmakers on Friday, with the president answering direct questions from critics.

For a president who was on a Latin American outreach trip when the U.N.-sanctioned military assault on the Libyan regime began, the speech offers him his best chance to explain the purpose and scope of the mission to a nation already weary of war. Obama has spoken about the matter since authorizing the use of force, but not in a setting as prominent as an evening speech, as he seeks to take command of the story.

Obama is expected to explain how the U.S.-led campaign is shifting to NATO control, and how the multinational approach with Arab support puts the United States in the strongest position to achieve the goals of protecting Libyan civilians, a White House official said.

The president will also put the Libyan campaign into a broader context of his decisions about the use of force, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the president's thinking. U.S.-led forces began launching missile strikes last Saturday against embattled Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi's defenses to establish a no-fly zone and prevent him from attacking his own people.

Hakuna hatari yoyote, ni zilezile propaganda zilizoshindwa kuwashawishi west kuwa anti-gov ni alqaeda. Huyu rais wa Chad lazima aweweseke kwani Gaddafi ame invest sana nchini kwake
 
Slow news day, tupate quotes kadhaa;

David Cameron, the Prime Minister
"What is absolutely clear is that Gaddafi has broken his word, broken the ceasefire and continues to slaughter his own civilians. This has to stop. We have to make it stop."

Barack Obama, US president
"Our consensus was strong, and our resolve is clear. The people of Libya must be protected and in the absence of an immediate end to the violence against civilians, our coalition is prepared to act and act with urgency."

Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State
"If the international community is to have credibility … then action must take place."

Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary-General
"Gaddafi has lost all legitimacy. He cannot remain in power in Libya any longer. Whatever happens, he must go."

Stephen Harper, Canadian prime minister
"The parameters of our mission are clear. They are wide ranging and they do not include on-the-ground action."

Col Muammar Gaddafi in a letter to Barack Obama
"To our son, his excellency, Mr Baracka Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son." -

Mustafa Abdel Jalil, head of the rebel National Libyan Council
"Now there is a bombardment by artillery and rockets on all districts of Benghazi. The international community is late in intervening to save civilians from Gaddafi's forces. We appeal to the international community, to all the free world, to stop this tyranny from exterminating civilians." -

Libyan Government spokesman Mussa Ibraham quoting Col Gaddafi
"You will regret it if you take a step towards interfering in our internal affairs." -

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader
"To stand by, to do nothing, would be totally wrong."
 
Mimi naona Gadafi akishambuliwa ni sawa tu, kumbuka alishawahi kutoa ndege kuja kutushambulia Tanzania akimsaidia Uganda bila msaada wa Kenya tungekuwa teyari wazazi wetu wameshakufa na sisi leo hii sijui kama tungekuwepo. Marekani na Ufaransa wanafanya vizuri sana, yeye wakati anaua watu mliona sawa au wale waliokuwa wanakufa sio watu.
