Libya Unrest - 2011-march 2

Webnesday 2011 2 march Libya rebels halt Gaddafi attack Rebel forces have fought off an attempt by soldiers loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi to retake the eastern oil town of Brega. Gaddafi forces had moved into eastern areas for the first time since towns there fell to protesters two weeks ago. In his speech broadcast on Libyan TV in a large hall in Tripoli, Col Gaddafi warned against any foreign intervention. "We will not accept [an] American intervention. This will lead to a bloody war and thousands of Libyans will die if America and Nato enter Libya." He said the UN had passed resolutions condemning Libya based on "false reports" and he challenged the UN to investigate. "We urge the world, the United Nations, to see where the people were killed, to send a fact-finding team." He condemned those countries that had frozen Libyan assets, saying: "The assets are the assets of the Libyan nation... I am the asset of Libya, not the American dollar." Col Gaddafi spoke as a crowd of supporters and officials chanted the slogan: "God, Muammar and Libya." The Libyan leader said he was "surprised" that his name had been mentioned abroad since he had handed over power "to the people" in 1977, eight years after taking power and there were no positions he could resign from. He said he had been told that "hostile radios" outside Libya were focusing on him. In an attempt to explain recent unrest, he said "shady members of al-Qaeda" had formed "dormant cells" in several cities. But he said there had been no violence at demonstrations in Libya. In two weeks of unrest, Col Gaddafi has lost control of large parts of Libya. The violence has led to a major humanitarian crisis on the Tunisian border, with tens of thousands of foreigners, most of them Egyptian, stranded and unable to get home. Some 75,000 people have fled to Tunisia since unrest began and 40,000 more are waiting to cross, the UN says. Britain, France, Spain and other countries on Wednesday launched emergency airlifts to evacuate those gathered at the border. The World Food Programme announced a $38.7m aid programme for the 2.7 million people it says are engulfed in the Libyan crisis. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says he believes about 1,000 people have so far died in the violence. The UN has suspended Libya from its Human Rights Council, accusing it of committing gross and systematic violations of human rights. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Wednesday he was formally opening an investigation into crimes against humanity in Libya. Debate is also continuing in the international community over imposing a no-fly zone to curb the Libyan air force.

His speech came as the UN refugee agency made a plea for hundreds of planes to end a gridlock at the Tunisia border with Libya, where 'acres of people' fleeing the violence are still waiting to cross in freezing conditions.
