Un peu plus tôt aujourd'hui, je me demandais si les discussions sur une éventuelle implication contre la Libye ne tardait pas trop... Cette nouvelle n'a rien pour me donner espoir...
The pro-Gadhafi forces surprised rebels with attacks on two sides of the city of Ajdabiya, and the opposition was outgunned as troops entered the city in tanks and personnel carriers.
"They don't have the arms, but they have the will to fight," Lt. Col. Mohammed Saber, an army officer who defected to the uprising, said by telephone as explosions and gunfire rattled in the background.
The assault on Ajdabiya in the east came after Gadhafi forces took back the last rebel town west of Tripoli. With the victory in Zwara, a seaside town about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the Tunisian border, the regime has largely consolidated control in the west, where only weeks earlier his rule seemed to be crumbling. The only other opposition-held city in the western half was under a punishing blockade, its population running out of supplies.
The dramatic turn in Gadhafi's fortunes has outpaced French and British efforts to build support for a no-fly zone, which fell apart on Tuesday.
