    Information getting through suggests that the war in Libya is taking a horrible turn for PM Dave, who must be spending sleepless night now.

    The Colonel has raised an army that, according to reports, counts about 10,000 Tuareg, to join his forces. Tuareg are reputed to be the best desert fighters in the world. They live in Libya, Mali, Algeria and Niger. These Tuareg are as one people, so borders of countries do not prevent them from joining together if one section of their people are at war, as is the case in Libya: they tend to get together. They have stated that the rebels in Libya are their enemies.

    Reprots suggest that 1,500 Afghan mercenaries are among the rebels, as well as units of some international security firms.

    The rebels have given up attacking Bani Walid, and are probably losing many more men then they admit at Bani Walid, Sirte and Sabha, which they only claim to control.

    It is unclear whether Brega and Ras Lanuf (two important oil-facility towns) and Gedarmes are still under rebel control, or have been recaptured by the Colonel's forces in recent days.

    Reports suggest that fighting is breaking out in Tripoli and Benghazi, even Misrata and some other large cities, with green flags flying from houses in some areas. Green flags are in support of the Jamahiriah, the Libyan State that recognises Colonel Ghedaffi.

    Reports suggest that various tribes in Libya have risen up against the rebels, and are attacking their convoys that travel to the besieged cities of Ban Walid and Sirte, causing the rebels who are besieging them to run low on ammunition.

    There are reports of thousands of looted SAM anti aircraft missiles in the hands of various rebel factions, including Al Quaeda groups.
    There are reports of rebel factions showing distrust and hatred towards each other, and hording weapons for themselves.

    There is no agreement on the part of the NTC (National Transition Council) to form a government.

    There are numerous reports of civilians being killed by Nato missiles and by NTC indisciminate shelling of Libyan cities, in particular Sirte.
    There are many reports of people in besieged cities, namely Sirte and Bani Walid, running out of food, medicine and water, while NATO planes bombard them.

    There is ever increasing outcry against rebels using rape and murder as a weapon, with internatonal organisations and the media not doing anything to report it.

    I can't see Dave and Hague holding out for long.
