This is the name of the operation being conducted by the international coalition of European countries, the United States and Canada to establish the no-fly zone in Libya ordered by the Security Council of the United Nations in resolution 1973 (2011 .) In my article entitled: "Libya - Better late than never", published on Saturday 19-03 in the same day I referred extensively to the scope of that resolution (http://internacional.eluniversal.com/2011/03 / 19/mas-vale-tarde-que-nunca.shtml)
H till now the operation has been successful in securing the conditions for the implementation of flight-free zone. Have been neutralized air defense systems to Libya and put out of action for at least 20 of those systems equipped with air missiles capable of shooting down medium-range planes of the coalition. They have also been neutralized fixed anti-aircraft batteries located near the presidential palace and at sites in Tripoli. With surgical precision have been attacked other major centers that could impede the implementation of the no-fly zone.
At the same time received conflicting information from Libya. On the one hand, the Libyan tyrant still radical and challenging attitude - says it is ready for a "long and glorious war" - and on the other side Libyan military announced an "immediate ceasefire" which generates justifiable doubts and compliance that the previous ceasefire was used by Gaddafi was used to massacre the rebels in Benghazi.
In any case, this call for a ceasefire seems to indicate that the Libyan regime is broken and this could be the beginning of the end of this operation military.
The Libyan military should be aware that they are unable to resist the military action that displays the international coalition. The most effective weapon that had the regime were anti-aircraft missile systems and have been virtually destroyed. The air force planes are old or inoperable. Many of the 800 battle tanks are also in disrepair. In addition, the Libyan armed forces have undergone a process of dismantling and replacement by a militia controlled directly by Gaddafi. He is the supreme commander of the armed forces on which maintains a tight control by a clique of elements of its strict confidence. Sounds familiar right?
desperate The announcement that the doors are open stockpiles and inviting the people to arm themselves to defend the regime is another sign of weakness of the regime appears to rely more on the human shield "a million civilians" armed, mostly children, and its armed forces.
Already there have been significant defections from the upper echelons of military command Libya. Among the cases More significant are the following: Major General Abdul Fatta Younis al-Obaidi, who participated in the coup that brought Gaddafi to power in 1969 bowed to the rebels and led the attack against security forces in Benghazi, the Colonel Tarek Saad Hussein, one of seven colonels who took command of rebel forces in Benghazi, supports replacing the current military regime by a democratic government, Abdul Salam Jalloud, who also participated in the coup of 1996 and served as second Commander of the Armed Forces, has declared openly against the dictator Abdul Jalil Mustafa Former Minister of Justice is now head of interim government established in Benghazi, General Abdel Fattah Younis, Minister of the Interior also deserted the Gaddafi regime and is part of the board of the National Transitional Council.
A dramatic and heroic event is the pilot that disagree with the order to bomb the rebels decided to crash his plane into a military complex Gaddafi.
deserves special mention the case of General Abu Bakr Younis Jaber, one of the original members of the Revolutionary Command Council, a member of the first circle of loyalists to Gadhafi, Secretary General of the Interim Defense, until recently Minister of Defense and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, who is under house arrest for being one of the personalities that might lead a coup against Gaddafi.
loyalty obviously the closest supporters of the "King of Kings" starts to weaken. Surely this is one the aims of the coalition. No one is willing to sacrifice for a lost cause. A coup against a dictator who seized power in a coup is not punishable if it opens the way to truly establish a system democratic, free of radicalism of any kind, respectful of human rights and international obligations.
I hope that the dynamic of events has not become stiff this article to the time of publication.
