The British Govt. and 31 other countries establishing diplomatic relations with the Libyan revolutionary committee in Benghazi.
Now here’s the bit I don’t understand. Gaddafi’s still in control of virtually half the country and doesn't show any intention of stepping down, Britain’s efforts at removing him seem unfocused and disjointed so not expecting much result there and the revolutionary movement doesn’t seem to have a coherent plan or voice. So what’s the basis for this recognition? Is the hope that Gaddafi will get miffed at being left out and pack it in? We’ve been here before and it went on for close to ten years. Libya could very well continue to exist in this limbo, with Gaddafi controlling one half of the country and the revolutionary forces the other for an indefinite amount of time.
Britain and its allies in this, need to either commit to routing him themselves or get out of Libya altogether 'coz the current plan - if you can call it that - ain't working.
