Tripoli: Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddaffi started Tuesday to storm into the east of the eastern oil town of Brega, TV report said.
Earlier on Monday, A Libyan government spokesman had said the country was open to political reforms and elections, but Muammar Gaddafi must remain as the Libyan leader.
“We are ready for political solutions: constitution, election, anything, but the leader has to lead this forward,” Mussa Ibrahim said.
The spokesman had said the Libyan people, rather than other countries, must decide the country’s future and whether the Libyan leader should stay or go.
He added no conditions could be imposed on Libya from abroad, even though the country was ready to negotiate proposals for changes and reform.
“Don’t decide our future from abroad, give us a proposal for change from within,” he said.
He accused some Western politicians of trying to force Gaddafi to step down out of personal gains or economic interests, and denied allegations that the government troops were involved in any attacks against civilians.
The spokesman had expressed regrets over Italy’s decision to back the rebel forces.
