In Libya, areas still under the control of Colonel Gaddafi are shrinking all the time. Protesters have reportedly taken over the east of the country. The capital, Tripoli remains heavily guarded by pro-Gaddafi forces with tanks deployed around it. The leader has called on thousands of mercenaries to defend his bastion, as he's faced with more defections from his own regime. The revolt has now entered its tenth day. The overall death toll has been difficult to determine. Conflicting reports put the number between 300 and a thousand.

Amateur video supplied by Libyan opposition groups is said to show the moment the army stationed in the Ghar Younis barracks at the outskirts of Benghazi joined the protesters in the city on February 21, 2011. Libya's leader Colonel Gaddafi is desperately clinging to power despite facing more defections from his own rule. He's battling to shore up control of the capital Tripoli and western areas, with protesters consolidating gains in the east of the country. Gaddafi told state TV that Osama Bin Laden and his followers are to blame for the uprising, and claimed protesters were given drugs to incite them to revolt. The overall number of dead after ten days of unrest has been difficult to determine, with estimates ranging from several hundred to over two thousand.

The momentum gained by the oppressed population in Benghazi later turned into anti-government riots. A curfew was put in place and the Army was brought in to suppress the riots. At least 31 people were killed and hundreds more were arrested and tortured for weeks. www.stopqaddafi.org

Pro-regime forces threatened to recapture the closest rebel-held city to the capital in the west on Tuesday, as fighting continued to rage around Zawiya. After dramatic successes over the past weeks, Libya's rebel movement appears to have hit a wall of overwhelming power from loyalists of Moammar Gadhafi. If Zawiya, on Tripoli's doorstep, is ultimately retaken, the contours of a stalemate would emerge - with Libya divided between a largely loyalist west and a rebel east. Days of fierce battles between rebels and Gadhafi's forces have taken place in the city, which is 30 miles (50 kilometres) west of Tripoli.
