Buoyed by strikes, Libya rebels try to advance
That could mean a longer conflict and an unclear end game as the U.S. and European countries try to calibrate how much their now three-day old air campaign — officially intended to protect civilians — should go toward actively helping the rebel cause. Henri Guaino, a top adviser to the French president, said the allied effort would last "a while yet."
Ali Zeidan, an envoy to Europe from the opposition-created governing council,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], told The Associated Press that rebels want to drive Gadhafi from power and see him tried — not have him killed. He said that while airstrikes have helped,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the opposition needs more weapons to win the fight.
Doing so would appear to come under the U.N. mandate for the strikes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which allows countries to take "all necessary measures" to protect civilians in Libya.
But even if that happens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fight is not over. Instead, Libya could end up divided between the rebel-held east and mainly regime-controlled west,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Gadhafi largely unable to move against opposition areas without his forces being devastated by allied strikes. If rebel fighters were to then try to attack regime-held cities and march on Tripoli to oust Gadhafi, it is unclear what the U.S. and European stance would be.
