It is vital for Muammar Qaddafi’s foes that they hold on to Misrata. THE agonies of Misrata, the western rebel-held city that has withstood a bloody siege by Muammar Qaddafi’s forces for nearly two months, have exposed the dilemmas that are reducing the effectiveness of NATO’s air campaign. As efforts were stepped up to evacuate by sea the badly wounded and the trapped migrant workers desperate to escape, rebel commanders in Misrata warned the outside world via Skype that unless NATO did more to help, the town could fall within days. One, calling himself only Muhammad, said rebel fighters and civilians were “like rats in a cage”, with scores of people dying. He claimed that there had been no air attacks for several days on Colonel Qaddafi’s men, who are surrounding Misrata on three sides: “We are being hit by mortars, Grads, Katyushas, you name it—and there is no action [from NATO].”
