In Libya, Colonel Gaddafi's troops are reportedly being withdrawn from the rebel-held city of Misrata in the face of NATO airstrikes. It follows an almost two month standoff.

Sukant Chandan, who has just returned from a monitoring mission in Libya, believes there's no justification for NATO's actions.
