The situation in Libya on 19 March 2011, just before the start of the international military intervention.
• Cities controlled by pro-Gaddafi forces • Cities controlled by anti-Gaddafi forces
• Ongoing fighting/unclear situation
The Libyan Civil War began on 15 February 2011 as a chain of civil protests and later evolved into a widespread uprising against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. On 25 February, most of eastern Libya was reported to be under the control of protesters and rebel forces.[1] Gaddafi remained in control of the cities of Tripoli, Sirte and Sabha.[2] By 15 March, however, Gaddafi's forces had retaken more than half a dozen lost cities. Except for most of Cyrenaica and a few Tripolitania cities (such as Misrata) the majority of cities had returned to Gaddafi government control.
On 17 March, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution which authorized member states "to take all necessary measures ... to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamhariya, including Benghazi, while excluding an occupation force".[3] This began a new phase in the conflict.
