World leaders have weighed in on events in Tripoli with almost unanimous calls for Gaddafi to give up and end the bloodshed. 

"Tonight, the momentum against the Gaddafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant," said US President Barack Obama.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said "the end is near for Gaddafi".

Meanwhile, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, a longtime critic of the NATO campaign in Libya, still opposed the international effort:

"Today we are seeing images of how the democratic European governments - well some of them are (democratic), we know who they are - are practically demolishing Tripoli with their bombs and the supposedly democratic government of the United States, because they feel like it."
