The current fighting in central Libya could not have turned out better for Col Muammar Gaddafi and his supporters.

At the very moment when Libya's fate is being discussed in London, his forces are consolidating their control over the western half of the country up to and beyond Sirte.

A senior official close to Col Gaddafi whom I have been speaking to said he thought the government here could accept that Libya was now irrevocably separated into two parts.

Allied divided on arming rebels

 

 

 


The question of whether or not UN Security Council resolution 1973 allows countries to arm Libya's rebels is becoming more pressing as the rebel advance struggles to overwhelm Col Muammar Gaddafi's tanks and rockets.

John Simpson Reports: "The current fighting in central Libya could not have turned out better for Col Muammar Gaddafi and his supporters.

At the very moment when Libya's fate is being discussed in London, his forces are consolidating their control over the western half of the country up to and beyond Sirte.

A senior official close to Col Gaddafi whom I have been speaking to said he thought the government here could accept that Libya was now irrevocably separated into two parts.

After a ceasefire, he said, the two sides could get down to negotiations and work out a deal, which would have to include the division of oil revenues.

All this will probably turn out to be much too optimistic, but it reflects a sense of genuine relief here that the rebels are no longer threatening Sirte and the west."
