* Geneva-German foreign minister proposes moratorium on all financial transfers to Libya for 60 days
* Libyan loyalists evicted from towns of al-Zawiyah and Nalut
Gaddafi loyalists had been evicted from Nalut, 145 miles west of Tripoli. "The city has been liberated since February 19. It has been run by a revolutionary committee named by the town's communities," said Shaban Abu Sitta, a local lawyer and member of a revolutionary committee.
"The towns of Rhibat, Kabaw, Jado, Rogban, Zentan, Yefren, Kekla, Gherien and Hawamed have also been free for days. In all these towns, Gaddafi's forces have gone and a revolutionary committee put in place," he said.
Libyan rebels established a transitional national council to coordinate administration in several cities seized from the Gaddafi regime, and have called on the army to help them take Tripoli, the capital. >>> | Monday, February 28, 2011
