In the east, Ajdabiyah is the last remaining obstacle before the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

Bashir Al Tammani, the leader of the Committee for Dialogue, which represents various tribal groups, has called for the fighting to end, claiming some rebels are trying to divide the country. He said he wanted to see dialogue with the opposition.
