A delegation from the African Union met with Moammar Gadhafi today. The president of South Africa reports that Gadhafi has accepted the terms of a cease fire. Further negotiation is to follow between the two sides with oversight by a third party.
The opposition remains skeptical of the agreement, however, as Gadhafi has broken multiple "cease-fires" in the past.
Meanwhile, fighting continues.
Pro-Gadhafi forces have shelled Misrata. Opposition forces maintain that they control the city after fourteen days of fighting, a claim that is countered by the Libyan government. The city is largely abandoned. It is the country's third largest city at 300,000 people.
Rebels have retaken Ajdabiya in a the back and forth struggle over the city near the opposition stronghold of Benghazi.
