Rebels at heart but short on means, Libya's Berber tribes quickly joined the uprising against Moamer Kadhafi and seized control of the mountainous west in an effort to secure their freedom. The uprising launched in eastern Benghazi on February 15 spread fast to the western mountains, or Jebel Gharbi, where within days villages fell like dominos to the opposition movement challenging Kadhafi's regime.

Rebel forces routed troops loyal to Moammar Gadhafi in a fierce battle over an oil port Wednesday, scrambling over the dunes of a Mediterranean beach through shelling and an airstrike to corner their attackers. While they thwarted the regime's first counteroffensive in eastern Libya, opposition leaders still pleaded for outside airstrikes to help them oust the longtime leader. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
