Several cities were retaken by government forces over the last two days. Ajabiya was breached by pro-Gadhafi forces, but the opposition military was able push them back to the outskirts. This city is of key strategic importance, being only 160 km west of Benghazi, which serves as a headquarters for the opposition forces.
The opposition forces were able deploy minimal air and naval assets today. Naval assets sank two oil tankers that had been converted to warships by Gadhafi's military and disabled another.
Their minimal air assets do not compare to Gadhafi's air forces and still call for an internationally imposed no-fly zone.
Many in Libya are clamoring for outside help, wondering when and if they can expect aid from the self styled "champion of democracy" United States.
