16 juillet 2011<\/a>, en m\u00eame temps que triomphait le Groupe de Contact, donne une tr\u00e8s \u00e9difiante image de la situation sur le terrain. Deux points \u00e9mergent, d’une part le d\u00e9sordre dominant cette situation, d’autre part l’inorganisation et l’incomp\u00e9tence des rebelles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIf they are truly the Libyan rebels’ most promising vanguard, the fighters poised on the front line in the Nafusa mountains hardly inspired confidence. Sheltering from the beating sun in the shadow of a Second World War Italian guardhouse, a gaggle of dishevelled men sipped sweet tea to shake off the exhaustion of a 24-hour shift.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbA solitary rebel trained a telescope on a ridge, a mile distant, on which soldiers of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s elite 32nd Brigade peered back, watching and waiting. Behind him, a bearded insurgent revved the engine of a pickup truck, mounted with an anti-aircraft gun, that kicked and spluttered but refused to start.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWith no more than two dozen lightly armed men, their position defended by a toppled lamppost laid across the road, the front line seemed dangerously exposed. And so it proved. Just a week after it was captured in a fierce battle, the village of Qawalish was easily overrun on Wednesday, its defenders killed, wounded or forced to flee.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIt is difficult to control a revolution, said Col Juma Ibrahim, a senior rebel commander. It is a difficult situation and we wouldn’t know how to stop it. But I think it will only last for a short time. At first people will be angry but then they’ll start to calm down. First of all, of course, they have to win the war. Men like Col Ibrahim admit a lack of co-ordination and an inability to establish a chain-of-command is hampering progress.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHuge logistical difficulties also confront the rebels, chief among them a shortage of fuel, cash and weapons. Rifts in the rebels’ own ranks do not help. The towns and villages of the Nafusa are by no means united in their sympathies, and often compete with each other.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThere are persistent reports that an arms drop by the French, trumpeted in the Paris media, was taken by one faction and not shared. What I want to know is where these French weapons are, said one fighter, Abu Moussa. Nobody has seen any sign of them. Some of us are fighting with rifles our grandfathers used against the Italians. How does Nato expect us to win like this?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCe qui conduit (cette derni\u00e8re phrase) \u00e0 observer qu’un autre domaine continue \u00e0 poser de tr\u00e8s nombreux probl\u00e8mes, qui est la coordination et la coop\u00e9ration entre les rebelles et l’OTAN. Et l’insatisfaction des rebelles vis-\u00e0-vis de l’OTAN est plus forte que jamais, si elle reste discr\u00e8te en apparence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abSuperficially at least, the residents of the Nafusa mountains, which are largely in rebel control, remain grateful to Nato. Thanks Nato, you saved our lives, one sign, scrawled on a wall in the Berber town of Nalut, declares. \u00ab\u00a0Thanks Sarkozy, reads another. But beneath the surface, anger towards the alliance is growing, with rebel commanders saying they are bewildered by its contradictory messages.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWhat Nato says and does often makes no sense, one said. If we are attacking, they bomb Gaddafi forces so we can advance more easily, but if we are defending, they do nothing. Then some of them say we have to negotiate with Gaddafi, that maybe he can stay in Libya, and others say Gaddafi must go.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
