  • Gaddafi Said To Seek Refuge In Tripoli’s Hospitals At Night

    A European government official has claimed that Libyan www.blazeclan.com/medicament-online-usa/ leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is travelling between Tripoli’s hospitals at night to elude bombing raids by NATO jets. The official has said that he is doing this because he knows that the hospitals are something that the air raids will not target.

    The official declined to be named because the information was not in the public domain at the time, claiming the new intelligence had been learned over the past week.

    Allied forces have intensified their attacks on the Gaddafi regime this week, and both President Barack Obama and the UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron vowed two days ago to step up the pressure on him.

    It’s also rumoured that senior commanders in Gaddafi’s force’s have stopped using their mobile phones because of concerns that their conversations were being intercepted by French, British and US intelligence, crippling the regime’s top ranks from communicating effectively, the official said.

    British ministers have given approval, in principle, to deploy Apache attack helicopters another UK official said yesterday.

    NATO increased its air campaign in support of anti-Gaddafi rebels and said it has “effectively” pushed the Libyan leader into hiding.

    President Obama said during his visit to London that “enormous progress” has been made and that they [the Allies] won’t let up the pressure until the Libyan leader is ousted.

    President Jacob Zuma is to meet with Gaddafi next week and an official close to the president has been quoted in the media this morning saying there will be an appeal for sanity:

    Representatives of the rebels came to the president and asked him to please have a discussion with Gaddafi about the way forward. The president is going to see if he can bring sanity to the issues.

    He wants to have a real discussion and for that to happen, more than three people in the room is a problem. He can’t take other people along.

    In Arab culture a man of his stature cannot be seen as weak, so compromise is a big thing for him. The new way will need to be sold to him so that it is not seen as a surrender or weakness.

    Zuma tweeted his reassurance on the Hammerl issue this morning too:

    In a live eNews Channel interview this morning, the president’s spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa, refused to outright deny Gaddafi would be granted asylum in South Africa, should the situation get to that.

    It’s however hoped that Zuma will be able to convince Gaddafi to keep in place a ceasefire this time and then begin some sort of discussions about the road ahead.
