The spokesman for Moammar Gaddafi’s collapsing government on Wednesday rejected a rebel ultimatum to surrender or face an all-out military assault. In response, Gaddafi spokesman Moussa Ibrahim dismissed the council as an unlawful group and said Gaddafi’s son Saadi was willing to negotiate and form a transitional government in coordination with the rebels--something opposition leaders have made clear is unacceptable to them.
The opposition currently controls Tripoli and much of the rest of the country, but the center of Libya remains firmly in the hands of Gaddafi loyalists, effectively dividing it between east and west.
