Arab League calls for no-fly zone

Qaddafi’s forces further advanced Saturday, pushing back rebel forces and publicly displaying control of now devastated towns.

The Arab League, in a move that places renewed pressure on intervention from the West, has formally asked the U.N. Security Council to implement a no-fly zone over the country.

However, the rebel forces themselves seem to be planning on a lack of international support.

“If the international community chooses to play the role of bystander, watching all the Libyan people being killed and cities destroyed, then we will have to defend ourselves,” Adbel-Hafidh Ghoga announced, speaking on behalf of the rebel forces.

Any decisive action that will be taken in Libya, at this time, remains in question. An end to the conflict also remains out of sight.
