After months of fighting across the nation of Libya, NTC forces are wrapping up their last offensive on the town of Sirte. Sirte is one of the last significant Gaddafi loyal town in the country. NTC Forces have taken the hospital, university, and convention center in the heart of the town. Scattered loyalist forces remain throughout the town. After the liberation of Sirte, NTC forces plan to announce the full liberation of Libya from the oppressive Gadaffi Regime.

It will be interesting to see if this actually ends the fighting. The NTC fores plan to announce the full liberation of Libya but the question is will it end the violence? Before Gadaffi announced that he wanted loyalists to fight an insurgent fight against NTC forces so it will be interesting to see what develops after the liberation of Sirte. Another interesting point is what will the liberation forces decide to do to loyalists after the liberation of Libya.
