The Libyan rebels have rejected the African Union AU ceasefire that was accepted by Qaddafi yesterday (10/4/11). Officially the reason given was that they can't accept a deal that will keep Qaddafi in power. However if you've read the signs and heard the opinions expressed at the protests that greeted the AU's delegation's arrival in Benghazi you'd understand that the rebels position is more that they can't agree to any plan that prevents them killing Qaddafi and all his family.
So it looks like this conflict is going to drag on for quite a while yet even if the AU and the US have just been given a sharp lesson in the naked blood lust that's driving the rebel's peaceful protests and the "humanitarian" intervention to support them.
Also there's been an explosion at a railway station in Minsk, Belarus so I've got the feeling there's going to be a busy evening ahead.
