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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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, 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, 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, the fight is not over. Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Libya could end up divided between the rebel-held east and mainly regime-controlled west,[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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is unclear what the U.S. and European stance would be.
