A Libyan rebel leader, Abdul Fattah Younis, has accused NATO of standing idly by, while forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi continue killing people in the besieged western city of Misrata. General Younis said that without NATO action, Misrata residents face extermination within a week. Earlier an oil tanker arrived at the eastern Libyan port to broker to pick up the first consignment of oil to be exported from the rebel-held region. Our correspondent, Jon Leyne says the shipment is a considerable success for the rebels.
It gives the rebels the opposition around 100 million dollars, maybe not in cash, maybe the cash are, actually who’s broken in the sell, provides humanitarian assistance that value. It may sound a lot of money, but it’s not really a huge amount when you consider this is almost half of the country there. But it also helps the oil men keep working, because they need to keep oil flow through the pipes here, all the pipes wax up. And I think the spoke gives a degree of respectability to the oppositions, the leadership here. They are now a body in control of a large part of the country with its own source revenue.
