No more abuse of force

While the West-led coalition forces have claimed initial success in substantially reducing the Libyan government's military capabilities after days of cruise missile attacks and air bombardments, there is evidence that the humanitarian disasters are getting worse in the North African country.

Media reports say at least 64 Libyans had been killed and 150 others wounded by the missiles and bombs fired by the coalition forces over the weekend. The majority of Libya's civil airports and seaports were destroyed.

On Tuesday, the United Nations Refugee Agency reported thousands of Libyans were displaced in the eastern parts of the country, as they tried desperately to flee from the recent heavy fighting. The bombing by coalition forces of Libyan targets will only increase this internal displacement.
