LIBYA
The NTC has announced that elections will be held in 8 months. This gives people time to form parties, and allow them time to campaign to the people. post elections a constitution will be drafted and will require the approval of the people by public vote.
The NTC has decided that when Gaddafi is captured, he will be tried in Libya for his crimes before being sent to the Hague for war crimes.
The hotel where Journalists were being held at gun point by Gaddafi forces has been converted into a 'last stand' barracks by loyalist troops. The Journalists have been freed, but the hotel remains under Gaddafi control.
Even with the Rebels having taken the Gaddafi compound in Tripoli Gaddafi has yet to be found. There is some speculation that he is in Sirte where a number of SCUD missiles have been fired from, there's also speculation he is in Tripoli hiding and that the Loyalist push for the civilian airport is them trying to secure an escape route for him.
Fighting continues sporadically in Tripoli as Rebels try to combat the snipers still in the city.
The country of Burkina Faso has recognized the NTC as the legitimate government of Libya but is offering Gaddafi a place of exile there, even though they are an ICC signatory. They say that anything that will help motivate peace in the Region should be the first priority.
The people of Tripoli seem to be quick to denounce the Gaddafi regime now that it appears to them that he is losing.
Chad has now recognized the NTC.
Libyan Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi, a Gaddafi loyalist in Britain says: If I am in charge, I would tell them to lay down their arms. The civil war is virtually over.
The second in command of Gaddafi's intelligence service has defected, appearing on TV and asking all of Gaddafi's forces, not to lay down their arms and surrender, but to join the rebels and fight for freedom.
