Introduction
A large number of reports indicate that there are major uprisings in Bani Walid, south of Tripoli. This implies that only one road running south of Tripoli remains to be Gaddafi controlled.
Over the weekend, Nalut and Zintan suffered from constant shelling. The road between the two towns, however, is under rebel control. After the failed attempt by Gaddafi forces to capture Zintan, shelling towards Nalut has increased. Further east in Yefren and Qalaa, unconfirmed reports indicate that rebels have been able to push Gaddafi force outside of the city. Further information is being obtained to verify these reports.
While Gaddafi troops continue shelling of the area north of the Wazzin-Dehibat border crossing, there have been no changes regarding positions of either side for some weeks now.
Over the past few days, there has been a slight increase in the number of people crossing the border into Tunisia. On May 31, a total of 5,084 people including 4330 Libyans crossed the border into Tunisia. Since the beginning of the crisis a total of 453,159 people have left Libya through the Tunisian border.
Over the weekend, there were reports of antipersonnel minefields 13km south west to Misurata port which were confirmed by NATO. In addition, unconfirmed rumors of sea mines in Misurata port still persist.
