Official: West Libya in govt hands, east problematic
2011-03-05
[Ma'an] Western Libya is totally in government hands but the east is "problematic," a regime official said on Friday, admitting that the town of Brega was in rebel hands and that fighting was going on at Raslanuf further west.
We've got a rump Sudan and South Sudan, West Bank and Gaza Strip. What odds we'll end up with a rump Libya and a West Libya, too?

#1  IOW, IIUC Muammar is winning, at least for now, AS THE MORE OF LIBYUH HE CAN EFFEC CONTROL CLOSE TO EGYPT + COAST PORTS + SUEZ CANAL/RED SEA THE STRONGER WILL BE HIS POLITICAL POSITION IRREGARDLESS IF LIBYUH BREAKS UP OR NOT.

Which is why I suspect the Rebs are again demanding UN-APPROVED MIL INTERVENTION.

versus

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > ITALY STANDS TO LOSE THE MOST IN LIBYA UNREST, ala any redux in vital Libyan Oil-Gas purchases, etc.

ARTIC read = ITALIAN + VATICAN BANKS = DIRECT LENDING SERVICES. The Pope + Vatican City-State stands to lose out via consequent decline in various -CHurch-sponsored Internat Acitivities [slack taken up by Islam proselytizing + Muslim Oil].
