Libya & The Berber Mountain Resistance
Following up on this note back in February, on the Libyan Berbers Revolt, it is not surprising that the Berbers in the mountains are holding out, despite getting - it would appear - almost zero outside assistance (unlike the apparently generally incompetent fighters from Benghazi, or the competent and rather more interesting Misrata group):
New York Times has a fine graphic on Libyan Rebels in the Western Mountains well worth a look. Were I a NATO planner, I would be very interested in getting material to the Mountains to open up a hard to crack south-western front and bump up the pressure and paranoia in Tripoli. Of course I have a soft spot for the Chleuh.
