Rebel groups nominated former Justice Minister Moustafa Abdel Jalil as head of an interim government, Fathi Baja, a member of the city council in Benghazi, said today. The council was set up following the uprising that began on Feb. 15 in the city, which is one of several controlled by anti-Qaddafi protesters and army defectors.

The Security Council late yesterday voted 15-0 to freeze the foreign assets of Qaddafi and four aides and to bar them from traveling, in the broadest international effort to halt his regime’s attacks on demonstrators. The vote followed a plea by Libyan Ambassador Mohammed Shalgham on Feb. 25 for the UN to “save” his nation.

Mohammed Ali Abdalla, deputy secretary-general for the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, the country’s main opposition group in exile, said officials in his party had urged Abdel Jaleel and others to form an interim, alternative government. “This and the position of the international community will add pressure on Qaddafi,” he said by telephone from Dubai. “The country can now become united and organized in facing him and facing his oppression.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what form the provisional government might take or what support it has

Al Jazeera: Eyewitnesses: Gaddafi Security Battalions head towards Misurata from Sirt. #Libya
2 hours ago

:hi:

There's no direct route (i.e. coastline road). They have to travel several miles inland - that should slow them down (and, hopefully, into a trap or an ambush).

...a critical event. If Gaddafi is abandoning Sirt the situation in Tripoli might be even worse for him than hoped. Giving up Sirt effectively ends his chances of defeating the revolt in detail. Some defected officer out east needs to rally the troops and head west to end this. Still the westerners might pull a victory of on their own, payed loyalty have it's limits - particulary if you can't pay for it or it looks like your mercs aren't going to survive to payday.

You pay attention west! I woke up this morning watching French news shows. Every single discussion show I flipped to was talking about military intervention, NATO, in Libya.

The West isn't going to give up control of its colonial resources that easily.

Posting here because this story has several activists and organizers in tears.

A very touching story happened yesterday at the aid convoy preparation point in Cairo. #Egypt #Libya #Feb17
2 hours ago

A guy went to the organizers and said he wanted to travel with the aid convoy.

Organizers said only 3 people could travel, and there was a waiting list of ppl wanting to travel to #Libya with the aid convoys

He stayed and helped pack the trucks & when they were done, he told the organizer: I'll sit in the back of the truck.

The organizer told him: you can't, it's an open truck and you won't stand the cold. He said, I don't care, I want to go.

I'll put up with anything. But the truck driver refused. Organizer thought the guy would give up and go away.

But he stayed & after the driver got into the truck, the guy begged him & said: by God, plz let me go, don't deny me this

The driver kept refusing, saying he couldn't have more than 3 riders with him. The crowd started trying to convince the driver

But the driver was adamant.The guy's eyes filled with tears & he ran alongside the truck after it started moving&kept begging

He kept running and shouting, "Please, for God's sake, don't deny me this chance, I'll sit anywhere!"

But the driver drove off. The guy stood there, very upset and sad, trying to hold back his tears, crowd tried to console him

And he didn't leave until the organizer promised him a seat in the next aid convoy (today). End of story.


@freelibyan87 @ChangeInLibya didn't mean to make you cry, but it really represents how everyone here in #Egypt feels about #Libya ♥

If I get an update on whether the guy I tweeted about got to go with today's aid convoy, I'll tell you tweeps.

Reports coming out of Libya's third largest city suggest that Misurata is now in the hands of opposition supporters.

Khalid, a resident of Misurata, spoke to Al Jazeera's Sami Zeidan about who is in control after clashes and a standoff with an army unit.

He said security forces have been driven out of the city.
