Gaddafi, the last sighting: "Niger" Agreement for the taking of Bani Walid

A large convoy of about 200 armored Libyans arrived to Agadez, in Niger, 750 kilometres north east of the capital Niamey, escorted by the military. The French military sources claim and Niger. The convoy includes officers and soldiers of the battalions stationed in the South of Libya that in all probability have entered Niger from Algeria.

Immediately spread the rumor, reported by French source, that the deposed dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi may soon join those troops together with his son Saif al-Islam, or that the two are already hidden on a vehicle of the convoy — then in neighboring Burkina Faso, which has offered asylum to Gaddafi and his clan.

Yesterday several people of the circle of rais had come to Agadez. Among them the head of security of staff, Colonel Mansour Daw. The Arabic newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat writes that several witnesses had seen the Colonel move from Al JUFRAH district, South of Sirte, where is the command of the troops who are still faithful to the border with Niger. Meanwhile spokesman Colonel Moussa Ibrahim, has ensured that Gaddafi "is in excellent health and is organizing the defense of Libya".

The country, however, is almost totally in the hands of rebels. These have reached an agreement with the representatives of the gheddafiane militia to enter without a fight in Bani Walid, one of the last city that were still in the hands of brigades of Colonel. The al-Jazeera reported, citing sources of insurgents, according to which in the next few hours the troops of the National Council of transition will take control of the city.

Bani Walid is a stronghold of the powerful Warfalla tribe that has about a million people and is remained faithful until the very last to Muammar al-Gaddafi. The rebels are expected to enter the city as soon as the agreement will be formalized, probably around noon. Bani Walid, located 150 km south of Tripoli, had refused the surrender, so that for days he feared a new bloody clash. The agreement, according to al Jazeera, has been reached in the middle of the night, after men closer to Rais had abandoned the city. "We explained to the chiefs that there will be sold in town and that our task will be to ensure security," he assured Abdullah Kanshil, head of the delegation that negotiated with chieftains.
