File talk:The 2011 Libyan rebellion.png

A preamble to war?
Over the last 3 days Italy sends in 2 patrol boats, a recognisance vessel and a special op's team. 2 American war ships are on the way and a spy plane is reportedly to be flying between Southern Italy and Tunisia. The UK's SAS troops and RAF troop aircraft rescue UK, German and Irish oil workers from the southern desert provinces, the UK sends 2 supply ships loaded medical supplies to Bengazi and readies fighter aircraft in its Cypriot bases. France sends a patrol boat to Tunisia.The German, Austrian, Greek and Azari armed forces helped in the airlifts/rescue flotillas.Wipsenade (talk) 14:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

See the No Fly Zone.


 * The US Navy has an Amphib in the med, with a loaded Marine Expeditionary Unit onboard, I hear. This shouldn't really be a surprise. I wouldn't characterize it as a "preamble to war", though. If (when) NATO goes in, it will be a peace-keeping mission. Police action. Regardless, this is all rank speculation, and this isn't a forum, so... — V = IR (Talk&thinsp;&bull;&thinsp;Contribs) 17:13, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Egypt and Tunisia have offered limited help to the rebels to.

Peace envoys
On 9 April, the African Union's special committee on Libya (with political representatives from Mauritania, the Congo Republic, Mali, Uganda and South Africa) announced plans to travel to the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi to meet with the opposition leaders on both the following Sunday and Monday, according to a press statement by the South African government. At dawn on April 9 a small group of activists staged a demonstration in Tripoli and issued a statement that was filmed. Wipsenade (talk) 19:13, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
