Ruined Sirte becomes a killing ground as Gaddafi loyalists face destruction, but mete out death of their own
For nine days, forces of the new Libyan government have been trying to seize the last area of Sirte still under Gaddafi loyalist control – with horrific destruction all around
It was envisaged by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi as a model of what a modern African city should be: a brilliant panoply of university and hospitals, with a glittering seafront and a marble-lined conference centre to host leaders from around the world.
But this weekend the centre of Sirte, the birthplace of the former Libyan leader and lavished with money and attention for that reason, is a squalid ruin in which a pocket of diehard Gaddafi loyalists – outnumbered and outgunned – are slogging it out in a desperate, destructive attempt to delay their inevitable defeat.

Libyan city takes siege mentality to national stage
“Misrata belongs to those who stood up for us, not those who left when things got tough,” reads a slogan spray-painted across the city.
MISRATA, Libya – Months of bombardment by Muammar Gaddafi’s forces, and a central role in the war that ended his rule, have bound the devastated Libyan city of Misrata into an extended military family that runs on trust.

But as Misrata, a commercial hub whose notables opened their wallets to arm a volunteer force, flexes its muscle in the new world of Libyan politics in which gunmen speak as loudly as politicians, it is increasingly inclined to trust no one.

Libyan NTC slows down in Sirte, advances in Bani Walid
TRIPOLI, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) — Fighters of the Libyan ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) on Saturday slowed down their attacks in the northern coastal town of Sirte, while their counterparts in Bani Walid managed to take control of new areas in the northwestern oasis city.
According to a source close to Libya’s new rulers, the NTC fighters moderated offensives on Sirte on Saturday, hometown of fallen leader Muammar Gaddafi, in order to secure the exits of civilians who were still trapped inside the city, where an estimated 400 pro-Gaddafi soldiers and mercenaries are making a gamble fight.
The source, asked to remain anonymous, told Xinhua that the remnant Gaddafi forces

in Sirte had few heavy weapons now besides snipers and some RPGs.
On Saturday, the NTC arrested dozens of foreigners who it believed were hiding illegally in Sirte — possibly mercenaries. But most of the detainees dismissed links with the battles, local channel Liberal reported.
Meanwhile, a medical source in Sirte said that three NTC fighters were killed and more than 16 in fierce battles in a neighborhood in Sirte on Saturday.

Libia: los pro Gadafi contraatacan en Sirte
Los combatientes fieles al derrocado coronel Muamar Gadafi lanzaron este sábado un contraataque sorpresivo en Sirte, obligando a las fuerzas del nuevo régimen libio a replegarse, constató un periodista de la AFP.
Las fuerzas del Consejo Nacional de Transición (CNT), ex rebeldes que derrocaron al coronel Gadafi, recularon dos kilómetros de forma desorganizada, hasta el cuartel general de policía de Sirte, uno de los dos últimos bastiones gadafistas, situado a 360 km al este de Trípoli, en la costa.

Alhamdulilah took a flight from tripoli to benghazi last night and then benghazi to instanbul now. Very very tired #libya

Have to say though, was in benghazi for an extremely short period of time, but i want to go again. The people seemed very friendly #libya

Following on from a tweet of mine about as long as pro gaddafi are peaceful, I didn’t think we should be violent against them

I am glad to say that that is indeed the attitude of the freedom fighters in #tripoli. Example: on Thursday, tripoli ff were informed of

A pro gaddafi ‘protest’ in hay alislami. So the ff went, parked up, watched them shout until they got bored&went home (only around 10 ppl)

Also, alhamdulilah, heard yesterday another 3 gaddafi loyalists from the abusleem attack had been found and arrested

But anyways, what’s important is I think my next trip to #libya inshaAllah will be to #benghazi… I want to see all it’s glory!

TRIPOLI Oct 16 (Reuters) – Two bulldozers guarded by armed men started to demolish the walls around ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi’s former home in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Sunday.
As the bulldozers set to on the Bab al-Azizyah compound, men chanted, “God is greatest. This is for the blood of the martyrs.” Some fired machine guns into the air.
“We are destroying it because we want to demolish anything that belongs to Gaddafi,” one gunman, Essam Sarag, told Reuters.

Les combats se poursuivent à Syrte, ville natale du colonel Kadhafi. Le pilonnage du dernier carré de loyalistes n’est toujours pas venu à bout de leur résistance. Pendant ce temps, dans une ferme des environs de la ville, une découverte macabre a été mise au jour.

Sept corps gisent sur la terre sèche d’une ferme au sud de Syrte. Certains ont reçu une balle dans la tête, d’autres à l’abdomen. « Regardez leurs mains. Elles sont attachées dans le dos », répète ce lieutenant colonel. Aucune chance pour cet homme d’en réchapper donc.

L’ambassade de Suisse à Tripoli avait été fermée en février, par mesure de sécurité, et le chargé d’affaires avait regagné la Suisse. Un bureau de liaison avait été ouvert en juillet à Benghazi, le fief des rebelles, pour renforcer les contacts avec le Conseil national de transition (CNT).

Government forces have surrounded the city from all sides, and arrested more than 20 loyalists of former ruler, he said Saturday.

Anti-Gaddafi forces bombard a small area in the centre of Sirte where pockets of resistance are still holding out.
The National Transitional Council militia have besieged the city of Sirte for weeks, only slowly tightening their grip.
Forces loyal to Gaddafi now only occupy an area of about one square mile.
But the government fighters said although the pocket of resistance was very small, they were being held back by snipers.
The failure to seize the final Gaddafi bastions swiftly has also held up attempts by Libya’s new leaders to try to build a democratic government, a process they say will begin only after Sirte is captured.

SIRTE, Libya — After weeks of intense fighting, Moammar Gaddafi’s home town appeared Saturday to have been largely destroyed, with most of its population fled and holes the size of manhole covers blown in apartment buildings and the ousted leader’s showcase convention center.

Revolutionary forces are now battling to defeat the last of the pro-Gaddafi fighters in the strategically important coastal city 278 miles southeast of Tripoli. On Saturday, the thud of tank rounds and the whine of Katyusha rockets filled the air, and black smoke rose above a contested central neighborhood.

Egyptians freed from Sirte clamour to go home
Sirte, Libya – Stunned by the din of battle and surrounded by snipers, Egyptian workers spent a month holed up in their apartment in the heart of Sirte before being evacuated in the past few days by fighters of Libya’s new regime.

Now all they want is to get back home as soon as possible.
“I am done with Sirte now. I want to go to Misrata and go back to Egypt,” said Mohamed Zidan, 30, who had lived for four years in the Mediterranean city, the home town of deposed leader Moamer Kadhafi.
Zidan’s home, wedged between residential zones one and two on the coast, became a front line one month ago when the offensive against Sirte was launched by National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters.

Sirte Battle Ground in Libyan War
Government forces kept up their bombardment of a small area in the center of Sirte on Sunday, trying to smash the remaining pockets of pro-Qaddafi resistance.

NTC militias have besieged Sirte for weeks to tighten their grip to the point where Qaddafi die-hards are surrounded in an area of about two square mile. Green flags, the banner of Qaddafi’s rule, still fly over the area.

Government fighters have said the pocket of resistance was very small but they were being held back by snipers. The often chaotic struggle has cost scores of lives and left thousands homeless.

The failure to seize the final Qaddafi bastions swiftly has also held up attempts by Libya’s new leaders to try to build a democratic government, a process they say will begin only after Sirte is captured.

NTC officers say Gaddafi loyalists fear retaliations if they surrender as some captured fighters have been abused.

Libya fighters in new push on Gaddafi desert redoubt

SIRTE (AFP) – Fighters of Libya’s new regime launched a fresh assault on the desert oasis of Bani Walid on Sunday as fighting died down in the city of Sirte, the other main holdout of Muammar Gaddafi diehards.

“We have resumed combat operations and we have advanced from the northern front as well as from the south,” said Musa Yunis, who heads National Transitional Council (NTC) forces in Bani Walid,

the formation of the national army is painfully slow. lots of meetings, little to show for it so far. except thuwaar ID cards.

Bulldozers begin demolition of Gaddafi’s Tripoli compound

Knocking down Gaddafi’s Tripoli stronghold is seen by revolutionaries as erasing ‘symbol of repression’

Libyan bulldozers began knocking down the green walls surrounding Muammar Gaddafi’s main Tripoli compound, known as Bab al-Aziziya, on Sunday as the new leaders said it was time “to tear down this symbol of tyranny”.
The sprawling, fortress-like compound has long been hated by Libyans who feared to even walk nearby during Gaddafi’s more than four decades in power and its capture was seen as a turning point in the civil war as revolutionaries overran the capital in late August.

Libya’s Bani Walid “liberated:” official
TRIPOLI, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — An official of Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) said Sunday that Bani Walid, one of a couple of remaining strongholds of fallen leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been “liberated.”

Mahmoud Tawfiq, a spokesman of the southern front in Bani Walid, some 180 km southeast of the capital Tripoli, told Xinhua that the NTC fighters will “dock with” each other on Monday after entering the city from three sides.
They will then begin searching for the remaining pockets of Gaddafi loyalists who have been fought the NTC soldiers in the oasis town for weeks.
Tawfiq said that the southern front fighters were able to enter the city heart and will be meeting with the eastern and western squads.
The information cannot be independently verified at the current stage, but Salah Matouk, a field commander in Bani Walid also indicated the NTC’s control over the town, where a number of pro- Gaddafi soldiers and mercenaries had been captured.
However, some NTC fighters said they still need time to seek confirmation.

UK will not forget Malta – William Hague
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague this evening reiterated his government’s gratitude to Malta for its humanitarian role in the Libyan conflict, especially in the evacuation of British nationals from the country.
Speaking following a meeting with Foreign Minister Tonio Borg and Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi Mr Hague said that the situation was now such that there was a major opportunity for democracy to take hold in Libya.
The UK, he said, would not forget Malta and there were many areas where the two countries could cooperate in the development which had to take place in the north African country, including in health care.
Mr Hague said that the future in North Africa looked exciting as the area was opening up providing opportunities for cooperation.
Asked if the UK’s gratitude to Malta would be translated into help with the migration problem, Mr Hague said it would be translated in many ways.
Although the UK could not take a large number of migrants from Malta it could work on a practical level to get to the root of the problem.

Asked about the situation in Syria, Mr Hague said that the regime over there was responsible for an appalling number of deaths and the way it handled protests was unacceptable.
Dr Borg said that with Mr Hague he also discussed cooperation in other areas, including EU issues.
Asked by a British journalist about Malta’s experience in the euro zone, Dr Borg said this was a positive one, for although Malta had had a small economy with strong currency, the crisis would have affected it much worse had it not been part of the zone.
The euro zone, he said, had offered Malta a measure of protection.

Mr Hague was in Malta on his way to Libya.

Libyans Hope to Discard a University’s Dark Past

TRIPOLI, Libya — Dr. Feisel Krekshi, the new dean of Tripoli University, arrived for his first day of work accompanied by 25 young men who fought their way onto campus with Kalashnikovs and homemade grenades.

Excavating the dark side of campus was almost too easy. Dr. Krekshi’s fighters found war prisoners in shipping containers and drawers full of intelligence dossiers on students, not to mention a mysterious office suite near Colonel Qaddafi’s preferred lecture hall. Inside was a queen-size bed, a Jacuzzi and a gynecological examining table, part of what the dean calls evidence that the deposed leader, on campus visits, summoned female students and raped them.

Foreign Secretary visits Libya

Foreign Secretary William Hague has officially re-opened the British Embassy in Tripoli, and appointed a new Ambassador, Sir John Jenkins.

Foreign Secretary, William Hague, visited Tripoli on Monday 17 October. During his visit, the Foreign Secretary met NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdul Jalil; officially re-opened the British Embassy in Tripoli; and announced the appointment of Sir John Jenkins as the new British Ambassador.
Speaking at the end of the visit, the Foreign Secretary said:
“Today marks a watershed in the UK’s relations with Libya. Having been one of the first diplomatic Missions back into Tripoli after its liberation, we have now formally re-opened our Embassy and appointed an excellent new Ambassador to Libya Sir John Jenkins. This is further recognition of the great progress the National Transitional Council has made in stabilising Libya and re-establishing the country’s role as a full member of the international community.
“The Libyan people’s decisive break with the past means we are now able to open a new era in UK-Libya relations, building on our military, political, diplomatic and humanitarian support to the Libyan people during their revolution. I am therefore pleased to make the following announcements:
“First, the UK will make available places for Libyans injured in the conflict to receive treatment in the UK. Up to 50 more patients who have suffered traumatic amputations will be offered rehabilitation and prosthetics care. Libyan health experts will be invited to observe the care so that they can support these patients on their return to Libya and others with similar injuries.
“Second, we are also increasing our contribution to security and stability in Libya. We are making available further support for emergency de-mining activities by the UN Mine Actions Service. This will help to protect thousands of people so that they can return to their homes including around Sirte and Bani Walid. And along with the US we are destroying hundreds of Man Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS) to improve security throughout Libya.
“Third, at the NTC’s request, UK experts on policing civil society and public financial management are now working in Libya.
“Fourth, the final requested shipment of Libyan banknotes frozen in the UK will be delivered to Libya, helping the economy to get back on track and provide for the Libyan people.
“To date, the UK has allocated £20.6m to support Libya’s stabilisation and up to a

further £20m to support political and economic reform.
“Our Embassy will have an important role to play as we build our relations with the new Libya, as will the diplomatic office we are maintaining in Benghazi, and I have every confidence that our diplomats here will do so with distinction. I pay tribute to all our staff in Tripoli and Benghazi for their courageous efforts in recent months, and to our dedicated staff from DFID, the MOD and UKTI staff, whose work will also help us cement our new partnership with Libya.”

Anti-Qaddafi fighters push into center of Bani Walid: commander #alarabiya

Aljazeera
Good morning, welcome to Al Jazeera’s live rolling coverage as rebels keep up the hunt for deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Here’s a round-up of events so far in Libya:

• Forces loyal to Libya’s interim authorities have forced their way into Bani Walid, as the fighters try to dislodge Gaddafi loyalists from the desert stronghold.

• National Transitional Council forces are also keeping up their siege of Sirte, Gaddafi’s birthplace and his final coastal stronghold.

• A television station based in Syria that supports Gaddafi has confirmed that the deposed Libyan leader’s son Khamis had died in fighting southeast of the capital Tripoli on August 29.
• A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Reuters news agency the United States could not yet independently confirm Khamis’s death but said similar information was being received in Washington from “reliable sources”.

Libyans destroy ‘symbol of tyranny’; TV confirms death of Khamis Qaddafi
Libyan revolutionary forces bulldozed the green walls surrounding Muammar Qaddafi’s main Tripoli compound, saying it was time “to tear down this symbol of tyranny” as a pro-regime TV channel confirmed the death of the toppled leader’s youngest son, Khamis.

The sprawling, fortress-like compound known as Bab al-Aziziya has long been hated by Libyans who feared to even walk nearby during Qaddafi’s more than four decades in power and its capture was seen as a turning point in the civil war as revolutionaries overran the capital in late August.

Fierce fighting in Libya’s Bani Walid

Sirte – Fighters of Libya’s new regime have forced their way into the desert oasis of Bani Walid, one of the last holdouts of Muammar Gaddafi diehards, but encountered

heavy resistance.

The intensified fighting in the desert town some 170km southeast of Tripoli happened on Sunday, even as the battle eased in the city of Sirte, the other main holdout of fighters backing the overthrown strongman Gaddafi.

Libya: rebel fighters ‘in Bani Walid’
Fighters of Libya’s new regime have forced their way into the desert oasis of Bani Walid, one of the last holdouts of Muammer Gaddafi loyalists.

The intensified fighting in the desert town some 100 miles southeast of Tripoli took place as the battle eased in the city of Sirte, the other main holdout of fighters backing the ousted leader.
“We attacked this morning from the southwest. Our men where inside the town this afternoon. But there was heavy resistance”, Jamal Salem, a commander of the National Transitional Council (NTC) forces, told AFP.
Mr Salem said the new regime forces “have not retreated,” but by Sunday evening he was unable to specify how far his fighters had managed to advance into Bani Walid.

Home now but last thoughts on Sirte: damage huge but surprisingly little Nato bomb damage. Saw two maybe three bomb flattened buildings…

…but then didn’t see whole city just a lot of it. Most damage from anti-aircraft guns, tanks shells, RPGs, mortars and small arms.

Sirte cont. Found evidence there was food in city and running water til recently BUT no electricity.

Told Gaddfi forces oversaw food distribtution and saw 4 full warehouses nr the 700 Houses district.

Vey hard to assess civ casualties in Sirte. There were some in hospital but saw v few people in the city only leaving it.

Sirte civilians clearly traumatised but physical condition of most reasonable ie not malnourished

Big questions from Sirte = treatment of pro-Gaddafi captives. We all saw beatings and

execution of what appear to be Sirte civs by pro-Gs

Libyan hospital in Sirte full of anxiety, horrors

More than 100 patients were lying in the hallways, in urgent need of attention. One man’s wound was swarming with worms. Another, whose legs had been amputated, had no painkillers. The morgue was overflowing.
The Ibn Sina hospital offers a glimpse into the desperation in Sirte, hometown of fugitive former leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Interim government commanders said late Sunday that the other major Gadhafi holdout, the smaller city of Bani Walid, had fallen.

Relatives of Kadhafi regime officials ‘flee Sirte’

SIRTE, Libya — Families of former Libyan regime officials streamed out of Sirte on Monday, including the mother and brother of Moamer Kadhafi’s spokesman Mussa Ibrahim, an NTC field commander said.
“These are families of regime officials; there is Mussa Ibrahim’s mother and brother among them,” said Wessam bin Hamaidi gesturing at seven cars loaded with men, women and children fleeing a disputed pocket of Kadhafi’s hometown.
A throng of some 150 National Transitional Council fighters formed around the vehicles in a chaotic scene before the families were whisked off, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

Anger and frustration in Libya’s ‘writings on the wall’

Graffiti is the most conspicuous form of artistic expression in Libya at the moment. In the past, artists were only allowed to glorify Muammar Gaddafi – the country’s president on the run – and vilify the West.

Now that things have changed Gaddafi has become the target of satire and ridicule through Graffiti.

The country’s artists are venting their frustration and anger at the man who ruled them for so many years through their public depictions.

Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) says its fighters have captured the town of Bani Walid, one of two last remaining strongholds of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley reports from Bani Walid:
We are very much in the centre of Bani Walid. They came through here just over an hour ago and they are saying this is an almost complete liberation of the town. some pockets of resistance by pro-Gaddafi forces but by-and-large

95 per cent of the town is under their control. It’s come after three days of pretty heavy fighting and they punched through from the north two days ago using a lot of heavy weapons and tanks. The gunfire of celebration is ringing out and they are going completely crazy here because they know this is sending a very clear message to those pro-Gaddafi elements who are still holding out in Sirte. Basically, there is nowhere left to go… They hope that in the next few days, sirte will go the same way.

Libya: NTC Forces Take over Bani Walid

Libyan interim government forces said on Monday they had raised the country’s new flag over Bani Walid, one of the last bastions of pro-Muammar Gaddafi loyalists, but it was not yet clear if the town had been completely captured.
Along with Gaddafi’s hometown Sirte, Bani Walid has been one of only two towns in Libya where there is still armed resistance to the rule of the National Transitional Council (NTC), reports Reuters.

NTC fighters maintained their bombardment of a small area where they have boxed in the remaining Gaddafi loyalist in the centre of Sirte. Libya’s new leaders say they will only begin the transition to democracy after they capture Sirte.

Central Africa: Concerns over effects from Libyan conflict

Abou Moussa, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Central Africa, is concerned that the mass return of Chadians who previously lived in the neighbouring country of Libya may contribute to arms trafficking and instability. Nearly 80,000 people originally from Chad have returned from Libya as a result of recent fighting in the country. Mr Moussa said, “It is not inconceivable that some returnees,

particularly those who may have participated in military or security operations in Libya, could be recruited as mercenaries or even fighters for armed groups in the central Africa region”. He said the UN Office for Central Africa (UNOCA) will partner with other organisations to help countries in the region address peace and security challenges, particularly the flow of illicit small arms and border security.

Mali’s Tuaregs have long complained that they have been marginalised by the southern government.
The NMLA wants independence for northern Mali’s desert region.

Libya’s outlawed boxers open first club in 30 years

When Muhammad Ali was photographed shaking hands with Libya’s most promising boxer, few could have known Giubran Zugdani would soon never been seen in the ring again.
Zugdani collected victories across the world and has a file of newspaper clippings to prove it. But Libya’s former leader Muammar Gaddafi banned the sport shortly after Zugdani’s appearance in the 1976 Olympics and, with a generation of talented boxers, Zugdani disappeared from the limelight forever.
Or so it was thought. Fast forward three decades and the now middle-aged men have dusted off their ancient gloves and opened the first boxing club in Libya since the sport was outlawed.

When I first arrive in Tripoli, long past midnight on a hot September night, driving in from the Tunisian border, the smell of burning rubber permeates everything. Near Fashloom, the first neighborhood to rise up against Gaddafi, there are a row of littered, desecrated shops and a scarecrow of the dictator hanging from the electricity wires.

Arabs are rewriting their own narrative
I had the pleasure this week of speaking at the Fares Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies at Tufts University on a panel titled “Continuing Tensions in the Levant.”
The panel made me realize two related things. First, all major players in the Middle East – the Arab states, Israel, Turkey, Iran, the European Union and the United States – are undergoing major changes in regional relationships. The Arab citizen revolts across the region continue to drive epic developments, making this a major moment of historic change that involves more than the mere replacement of authoritarian regimes by more democratic systems.

Times of Malta
Priest calls for inquiry into Libya refugee deaths
A priest who helped hundreds of African refugees escape Libya by boat to Italy, today called on Tripoli’s interim leaders to probe an incident at the start of the rebellion in which 400 may have died.

“In the name of their loved ones, we ask for truth to be shed on the facts of the tragedy that made nearly 400 people disappear,” said Rome-based Father Mussie Zerai, who also heads up the pro-immigration campaign group Habeshia.
Zerai said the refugees, including 335 adults and dozens of children from Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, went missing on March 22 as they tried to flee Libya — just a few weeks after the revolution against Moamer Kadhafi began.
Two weeks later, Zerai said there were reports of bodies with bullet wounds washing up on Libyan beaches and reports of a gunfight on a refugee boat.
“Now we want to know the truth about what really happened to these people, who were among the first to try to leave Libya during the revolt,” he said.
“The Libyan authorities should help us shed light on this tragedy,” he said.
“Those responsible for that journey into crossfire are still free in Libya, while hundreds

of families are suffering because they do not know what happened to their son, their husband, their wife, their grandchildren," he added.
The first refugee boats from Libya arrived in Italy on March 27.
Zerai played a key role by receiving satellite phone calls from the vessels — many of them rickety fishing boats that were overcrowded and ill-equipped for the Mediterranean crossing — and then alerting Italian coast guards.

Among them are hundreds of Nigerians and other Africans – men and women – who had been detained because they did not have the right paperwork to stay in Libya.

Misrata Militia Restricts Who May Enter Libyan City

Forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi terrorized the Libyan city of Misrata during the civil war. Because it never fell, the city became an icon of the revolution. But Misrata now is gaining a reputation for a militia that is carrying out acts of vengeance, looting and restricting movements in and out of the city.
Wags now quip that a visa is needed to enter Misrata because of the tight restrictions on access to the large coastal city. But it’s no joke to the people here.

U.S. Debated Cyberwarfare in Attack Plan on Libya

Just before the American-led strikes against Libya in March, the Obama administration intensely debated whether to open the mission with a new kind of warfare: a cyberoffensive to disrupt and even disable the Qaddafi government’s air-defense system, which threatened allied warplanes.
While the exact techniques under consideration remain classified, the goal would have been to break through the firewalls of the Libyan government’s computer networks to sever military communications links and prevent the early-warning radars from gathering information and relaying it to missile batteries aiming at NATO warplanes.

#Benghazi seems very battered and shabby after #tripoli. It needs a lot of infrastructure improvement and cleaning.

US, Italy discuss ending NATO air war in Libya
WASHINGTON — US and Italian defense chiefs on Monday said they examined prospects for ending the allied air campaign over Libya and how to support the country’s post-Kadhafi transition in talks at the Pentagon.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who expressed thanks for Italy’s role in the NATO-led operation, said alliance commanders favored pressing on with bombing raids as Moamer Kadhafi’s loyalists were still putting up resistance in Sirte.
“We are looking for our commanders to… recommend when they believe that the mission comes to an end,” Panetta told reporters after meeting his Italian counterpart, Ignazio La Russa.
“As you know, there’s still fighting going on in Sirte. And as long as that continues to be the case, our commanders feel the need for us to maintain our presence.”

UNCONFIRMED RUMOUR – a Gaddafi family member has been captured in Sirte; but he’s beaten so badly that he cannot be filmed. AND…

UNCONF. RUMOUR cont.. He is secretly being released in exchange for the Gaddafi forces quick retreat from Bani Walid that happened today.

Pure rumour and speculation and probably not true but these are the sort of far fetched things people are saying here in #Tripoli

McCain urges more US help for wounded Libyans

The United States should step up efforts to aid wounded Libyan rebels by deploying a hospital ship to treat them and helping them get to European medical facilities, US Senator John McCain said Monday.
“This is an urgent humanitarian need,” McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement after Libya’s transitional government and NATO inked a deal opening part of the country’s airspace.

NTC forces celebrate capture of Gaddafi bastion Bani Walid

Fighters with Libya’s interim government have captured the town of Bani Walid, firing their guns into the air and hoisting the country’s new flag over the center of one of the final bastions of Muammar Gaddafi’s loyalists.
A Reuters team that drove into the heart of Bani Walid, in desert hills 150 km (90 miles) south of Tripoli, saw no signs of resistance from supporters of the deposed leader who have been holed up inside the town for more than six weeks.

“Bani Walid is completely free. It is liberated, 100 percent," said Mohammed Shakonah, a military commander with the National Transitional Council (NTC).

Ex-Libyan PM in hospital after hunger strike -lawyer

Muammar Gaddafi’s jailed former prime minister has been taken to hospital in Tunisia’s capital with complications from a hunger strike, his lawyer said on Monday.
Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi fled Libya to neighbouring Tunisia soon after Gaddafi’s rule collapsed. He is in detention while Tunisia’s government considers a request from the new Libyan authorities for his extradition.
“As a result of his hunger strike, Mahmoudi has serious problems with his heart, taking into account that he is also diabetic,” his lawyer, Mabrouk Korchid, told Reuters. “He has been admitted to the military hospital in Tunis.”

To an outsider it seems that Sirte was almost like a foreign country to most Libyans, a place they didn’t visit and didn’t know. am I right?

Gaddafi planned total destruction of all Libya, not just Tripoli. His creed: if I can’t own it, nobody will

Libya’s growth industry – Gaddafi memorabilia

They’ve overthrown the hated dictator, but it seems Libyans can’t quite rid themselves of Gaddafi, as his image pops up in endless caricatures and other memorabilia

In the space of just a few weeks, Libyans have swapped a culture of officially inspired adulation for bawdy irreverence towards the man they now delight in dissing as “Abu Shafshoufa” – “frizzyhead”.
Gaddafi is the subject of endless caricatures and photomontages, the mainstay of a cottage industry of revolutionary memorabilia driven by the sheer exuberance of release from decades of oppression. Stalls in Tripoli’s newly renamed Martyrs’ Square are doing a roaring trade in pictures of him with former presidents Hosni Mubarak of

Egypt and Zein al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia – the three veteran autocrats and victims of this year’s Arab uprisings.

Freedom Group
SIRTE
October 17: Conditions in the Sirte according to observations on the ground at all fronts:
The areas that have not liberated until this moment are most of No.2 suburb, and part of No.1 suburb. The reason for this the lack of a clear
integrated and coordinated plan between the fighters which has led to concerns about friendly fire (in the last few days, a number of fighters were martyred as a result of friendly fire). There is a concerted effort to avoid repeat incidents.
Commanders from Misrata and the East have been meeting the last two evenings, to drawn up the next plan of attack and arrange a suitable date to launch the attack. The commanders agreed to continue to shell the strongholds of the heavily-armed remnants of Gaddafi forces until the hour of the attack, to minimize casualties among the fighters.
We further note that the remnants of Gaddafi forces in Sirte have not used heavy weapons for three days, and are hiding in the buildings, including the Education buildings, near the the Department of Electricity.
They are using anti-aircraft machine guns, Kalashnikovs, AK sniper rifles and RPG launchers. These remnants are not likely to number more than a few hundred, but they have the advantage of their position and their knowledge of the layout of the city.

Fierce battle under way in Gaddafi last bastion: AFP

Sirte. Fierce street fighting erupted on Tuesday between new regime fighters and Muammar Gaddafi’s remaining diehards in Sirte, the toppled Libyan leader’s last bastion, an AFP correspondent said.
The National Transitional Council fighters suffered at least 23 injuries within 15 minutes of the battle exploding mid-morning, with the streets reverberating with the sound of heavy gunfire, rockets and mortars.

as for the bazaars, guess what some ppl that are complaining are planning to do a bazaar at the hospital. Why?

Clinton landed under tight security in a country where forces loyal to the transitional government are still battling Gadhafi loyalists. She was slated to meet with officials of the National Transitional Council and planned to offer U.S. medical assistance for those wounded in the fighting, according to a senior State Department official traveling with the secretary.

Terrified Bangladeshi families flee Sirte’s hell

Desperate to escape rocket and machinegun fire in war-wracked Sirte, two terrified Bangladeshi families managed to emerge from front lines, but their relief was short lived.

Their pick-up truck broke down under sniper fire.

“Allahu Akhbar (God is Greatest), Allahu Akhbar,” shouted the passengers as they held hands before they fled through the pot holed streets of the city, bullets hissed over their heads.
“Too much fighting, no water, no food, no sleep,” sputtered Mohammad Nur, his mouth dry, as he crouched near a pile of blankets and bags.

His wife held an infant in her arms next to another woman with her two children.

A former prisoner of Kadafi loyalists says dozens of bound men with gunshot wounds had also been inmates of the deposed leader’s forces. Transitional government fighters say loyalists executed them

Eeven as they retreat, the pro-Kadafi gunmen may still be executing those suspected of opposing the former leader, according to revolutionary forces.

“They are not bothering to put them in prison any more: If they think you are against Kadafi they kill you,” said Anis Faraj, 22, who said he was first imprisoned by the pro-Kadafi forces, then dragooned into working alongside them in seeking out “rats” — as those suspected of being traitors to the leader were known.

In recent days, as anti-Kadafi forces advanced, Faraj said, guards told the prisoners that Mutassim Kadafi — the former leader’s son long rumored to be in charge of Surt’s defense — “wanted the disloyal rats from the prison.” As a result, the jail was cleared out.

“They lined us up, all 47 men outside with our back to four armed guards,” said Faraj, who added that he and the others, bound with plastic handcuffs, feared they were to be executed. Instead, “they shot their weapons around our feet.”

Libya’s leaders still haven’t found Gadhafi
It has been almost two months since Tripoli fell to Libya’s revolutionary forces but ousted ruler Moammar Gadhafi remains at large.
There’s no shortage of speculation about his whereabouts, but there is a dearth of credible information.
“There’s an 80% to 90% chance he’s in the south areas of Libya,” said Abdul Rahman Bussin, a military spokesman for the transitional government. He said people from the

nomadic Tuareg tribe were protecting Gadhafi.

UK OPERATIONS OVER LIBYA

Royal Navy ships and Royal Air Force aircraft have continued operations this week to help safeguard the Libyan people as part of NATO’s Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR.

Yesterday afternoon, an armed reconnaissance patrol of RAF Tornado GR4s was alerted by another NATO surveillance platform to the presence of three former Gaddafi regime armed trucks hidden beneath trees to the east of Bani Walid.

The vehicles were successfully engaged by our aircraft, using Paveway guided bombs, and destroyed.

On Wednesday, RAF aircraft formed part of NATO’s continuous armed reconnaissance presence over the disputed cities of Sirte and Bani Walid.

RAF’s Sentinel relocates to Gioia del Colle

After six months of operating from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus the RAF’s Sentinel aircraft, which has been gathering vital reconnaissance imagery as part of NATO’s Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR, is relocating to Gioia del Colle air base in southern Italy.

The move signifies the UK’s continuing support to the operation and the National Transitional Council, bringing peace and stability to the troubled region.
Since operations began in March 2011 the Sentinel aircraft has been operating over the skies of Libya every day, helping to build a better picture of what’s going on on the ground. This has been especially important because of the lack of human intelligence-gathering.

The Sentinel system is operated by 5 (Army Cooperation) Squadron, the largest flying squadron in the RAF. It is a joint squadron, always commanded by an RAF Wing Commander, and its home base is RAF Waddington.

The aircraft are manned by two RAF pilots, a mission commander and two onboard imagery analysts (IAs).
The intelligence gathered is analysed by the airborne IAs who transmit key information directly to other NATO assets during the sortie, as well as developing a ‘first look’ product for immediate dissemination upon landing.

NZZ Online
Libysche Streitkräfte starten Grossoffensive auf Sirte

Die Streitkräfte des libyschen Übergangsrates haben eine Grossoffensive auf Sirte, die Heimatstadt des früheren Machthabers Ghadhafi, gestartet. Die amerikanische Aussenministerin Hillary Clinton ist derweil zu einem Überraschungsbesuch in Libyen eingetroffen.
(ddp/dpa) Rund 1000 Soldaten der neuen Regierung drangen am Dienstag von Osten her in die Stadt Sirte ein, wie die Streitkräfte mitteilten. Sirte ist die letzte Bastion des alten Regimes, nachdem der Übergangsrat am Montag die Eroberung der früheren Gaddafi-Hochburg Bani Walid südöstlich der Hauptstadt Tripolis gemeldet hatte. Die neue Führung des Landes will Libyen erst nach einer Eroberung von Sirte offiziell für befreit erklären.

Ghadhafi untergetaucht
Der Chef der Übergangsregierung, Mahmud Jibril, sagte in einem am Dienstag veröffentlichten Interview der Zeitung «al-Sharq Al- Awsat», Ghadhafi, der seit der Eroberung von Tripolis durch die neuen Machthaber im August verschwunden ist, halte sich immer noch in Libyen auf. Er habe noch nicht aufgegeben. Ghadhafis Plan

sei es, entweder einen «islamischen Staat» im Süden Libyens auszurufen oder den neuen libyschen Staat zu destabilisieren, indem er Zwietracht unter den verschiedenen Stämmen und politischen Strömungen säe.

‘Ook Kaddafi-bolwerk Sirte vrijwel in handen NTC’

BRUSSEL – De Libische steden Sirte en Bani-Walid, waar Kaddafi-strijders het langst verzet bieden, zijn nu vrijwel geheel onder controle van eenheden van de Nationale Overgangsraad (NTC).

Slechts op enkele geïsoleerde plekken wordt nog gevochten, maar de burgerbevolking wordt er niet serieus meer door bedreigd.
Dat zei een woordvoerder van de NAVO dinsdag. In Sirte gaat het om nog maar een paar straatblokken.

Clinton in Tripoli; Gaddafi forces counter-attack

Gaddafi loyalists who had been cornered in a an area of Sirte of about two square kilometers (a square mile) appeared to have broken out of their encirclement, Reuters reporters in the city said. A group of NTC fighters was forced to pull back about 2 km after they came under heavy fire.
The force was trying to regroup near the Ouagadougou conference center — the complex where Gaddafi used to host foreign heads of state — but were pinned down.

A volley of 22 mm rounds from Gaddafi loyalists thudded into the group, hitting four vehicles and seriously wounding one NTC fighter. He was loaded into an ambulance and driven away.
On the southern outskirts of the city, in an area that in previous days had been safe from gunfire, mortars were landing and air-burst rounds were exploding overhead.

Libyans push into Qaddafi hometown from east

SIRTE: About 1,000 Libyan revolutionary troops launched a major assault on Muammar Qaddafi’s hometown on Tuesday, surging from the east to try to capture the last area under loyalist control.
The push to rout the remaining resistance from Sirte came a day after commanders announced they had captured most of a second stronghold, Bani Walid.
There also have been reports of looting as revolutionary forces closed in on the two areas that have waged the fiercest resistance.

Abdel-Rahman said field commanders were meeting to try to find a solution to the problem in Bani Walid, including the possibility of sealing off all the gates to the city. He insisted the fighters who liberated Bani Walid were not to blame but said some who came later to comb the area were stealing goods from houses.
“The fighters who liberated Bani Walid are not the ones who looted the houses, but the fighters who came later on to comb the area. They stole and looted from houses,” he said.

In Libyan Rebel Capital, Shouts of Thanks to America and the West

BENGHAZI, Libya — Frustrated by the gridlocked traffic, the young man in fatigues was leaning on the horn of his old Chevrolet Impala, the one with the front and rear windshields shot out. The shrillness of the pointless noise made a foreigner in the car next to him wince.
Then came one of those Free Libya moments.
“Sorry, sorry,” the horn-blower called apologetically, in English. The young man riding shotgun, also in fatigues and carrying a Kalashnikov, grinned sheepishly and apologized as well. Then he saluted, bringing his wounded right hand into view, a giant mitten of a bandage on it, blood soaking through in places.
“Thank you, thank you,” he said. “America No. 1.”

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Malta early on Tuesday for talks with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi on the situation in Libya. She was welcomed at the airport by Maltese Foreign Minister Tonio Borg. Clinton is due to meet Gonzi later on Tuesday in the capital Valletta. Malta has been involved in the Libyan crisis by serving as a logistics point for the evacuation of workers and the provision of humanitarian aid. It has also had a role in air traffic control over Libya.

AP
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is visiting the Mediterranean island nation of Malta to thank Maltese authorities for their assistance during the crisis in Libya. Clinton was meeting with the Maltese prime minister and other officials in the capital of Valletta on Tuesday. Malta has been a key staging area for relief and evacuation efforts in Libya and has taken in numerous Libyan refugees.

Pakistan
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has asked government to recognise the National Transitional Council (NTC) government in Libya that has taken control of the country after toppling Muammar Al Qathafi’s regime. In a letter written to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani here on Friday, PML-N Senator and a former finance minister Ishaq Dar asserted that lives and jobs of over 55,000 Pakistani expatriates would be highly vulnerable if there is a further delay in recognising the council.

AFP
Fierce street fighting has erupted between Libyan fighters and Muammar Gaddafi’s remaining loyalists in Sirte, the deposed Libyan leader’s last bastion, an AFP correspondent said. The National Transitional Council fighters suffered at least 23 injuries within 15 minutes of the battle exploding mid-morning, with the streets reverberating with the sound of heavy gunfire, rockets and mortars.

AP
About 1,000 Libyan revolutionary troops have launched a major assault on Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown, surging from the east to try to capture the last area under loyalist control. Tuesday’s push to rout the remaining resistance from Sirte came a day after commanders announced they had captured most of a second stronghold, Bani Walid. Libyan fighters have squeezed the die-hard Gadhafi supporters into an area comprising just a few blocks in Sirte but have been unable to gain full control of the city.

Hillary Clinton
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this morning praised Malta for its ‘extraordinary’ response to the unfolding events in North Africa and also said the US was grateful for Malta’s efforts to ensure that Americans were safely evacuated from Libya.

AP
The Obama administration on Tuesday increased U.S. support for Libya’s new leaders as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made an unannounced visit to Tripoli and pledged millions of dollars in new aid, including medical care for wounded fighters and additional assistance to secure weaponry that many fear could fall into the hands of terrorists.
U.S. officials said the fresh aid Clinton is bringing totals about $11 million and will boost Washington’s contribution to Libya since the uprising against Moammar Gadhafi began in February to roughly $135 million. The officials told reporters traveling with Clinton that it is evidence of the administration’s commitment to working with the National Transitional Council as it consolidates control over the entire country and moves to hold free and fair elections.

Reuters
Damage caused by fighting, looting and sabotage at Repsol’s largest Libyan oilfield, El-Sharara, is being inspected by a team of engineers, the operator told Reuters on Tuesday, and there was no restart date planned. “I have no more information because the team only left yesterday,” said Abdulmajid Shah, director of the joint venture operating Repsol’s field.

Hillary Clinton
The US secretary of state hails Libyans for demonstrating “bravery and determination” in removing Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.Speaking in Tripoli on Tuesaday, Hillary Clinton said she was “proud to stand on the soil of a free Libya”.

Mahmoudi
Muammar Gaddafi’s jailed former prime minister has been taken to hospital in Tunisia’s capital with complications from a hunger strike, his lawyer said on Monday. “As a result of his hunger strike, Mahmoudi has serious problems with his heart, taking into account that he is also diabetic,” his lawyer, Mabrouk Korchid, told Reuters. “He has been admitted to the military hospital in Tunis.”

Revolutionaries pushed back the loyalists from the main boulevard and cleared out snipers from residential buildings overlooking the sea.

The celebratory gunfire was deafening as reports spread that Moammar Gadhafi’s son Muatassim had been captured. The problem is, Libyan officials say, it wasn’t true.
Libya’s new rulers have found it hard to control the flow of information in a country that was run by one man for more than four decades. Fighters often tell a different story than officials in Tripoli, reflecting the uprising’s lack of organization. Propaganda also has been used by both sides in the brutal,eight-month conflict.

Libya conflict: Payback time for Gaddafi’s home of Sirte
Whatever favours Col Muammar Gaddafi may have bestowed upon Sirte while he was in power, it is certainly payback time now.
The city, his birthplace, which he favoured above all others in Libya, is in ruins. There is hardly a building left unscathed by the fighting.
It is as though Sirte was a spoiled, molly-coddled child in an otherwise ignored family.

Stunned by the din of battle and surrounded by snipers, Egyptian workers spent a month holed up in their apartment in the heart of Sirte before being evacuated in the past few days by fighters of Libya’s new regime.
Now all they want is to get back home as soon as possible.
“I am done with Sirte now. I want to go to Misurata and go back to Egypt,” said Mohamed Zidan, 30, who had lived for four years in the Mediterranean city, the home town of deposed leader Col Gaddafi.
Mr Zidan’s home, wedged between residential zones one and two on the coast, became a front line one month ago when the offensive against Sirte was launched by National Transitional Council fighters.

Libyan forces searching Gadhafi stronghold

BANI WALID, Libya (AP) — Libyan rebels finally in control of a key stronghold of ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi’s backers dug up yards in searches for hidden weapons Tuesday, a concrete sign that the months-long battle for Bani Walid was virtually over.

In Bani Walid, field commander Said Younis said fighters were searching for high level Gadhafi loyalists who had escaped to the city, including Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam, one of his closest political aides and spokesman.
“Seif was seen was on Thursday. He was eating in a desert village close to the city,” Younis told The Associated Press.

In the backyard of a house in Bani Walid, 10 fighters dug a hole, revealing a cache of Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition.

“We’ve been finding weapons and ammunition hidden in people’s yards since we liberated the city, all over,” said Ayman Mahdi, as he dug.
Ahmed Saad said forces were also searching for underground tunnels similar to those found under Gadhafi’s former Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli.
“Prisoners we captured from Bani Walid admitted the existence of these tunnels where some of the loyalists may still be hiding,” Saad said.

At Bani Walid party, Libya fighters look to future

BANI WALID Oct 18 (Reuters) – “I used to drive a 1990 Mazda,” the young Libyan revolutionary says through child-like giggles, hurtling into the heart of battle at the wheel of a new 4-by-4 looted from slain soldiers of Muammar Gaddafi. “Look at me now.”
But there was to be no more fighting for Ali that day. Bani Walid, one of only two towns in Libya that had still been resisting the men who toppled one of the world’s most recognisable leaders, had fallen.
The 23-year-old could not believe his eyes as he pulled the car into the town’s central square.

I met a 21 year old #ff yesterday who told me he would have never went to the front line had he known he would be thrown on a hospital bed.

The security #ff that accompanied me in the hospital said he joined the revolution so he could go back to school.

The 21 year old #ff ’s name is Ali and he is from Sebha. He has been in the hospital for a month and his wound is still open. He can see his bone when his bandages are changed

He told me he wishes from the bottom of his heart he could learn to speak Amazigh. Someone should be heading over to him today to teach him.

He is in a real bad psychological case. He says if he goes out for treatment and Libya doesn’t change he isn’t coming back.

he was kicked out of school when he was in 9th grade and couldn’t go back under the G regime. Now he can :)

the teacher offended his mom so he hit him. The teacher landed in the hospital.

Ali’s right leg is getting better but it needs natural therapy. He called the nurse to do it for him just before I arrived to do it for him but she refused saying she didn’t know how.

what should we do? they’re all against psychological treatment

They are doing the real work that keeps this revolution alive while these men pretend to be running the country.

Fierce battle underway to crush last Gaddafi holdout
Anti-Gaddafi fighters launched a fresh assault on Wednesday against the ousted strongman’s remaining holdouts, now pinned into a small corner of his hometown Sirte.

The fighting was concentrated in the outer streets of Sirte’s Number Two neighbourhood, with both sides trading heavy gunfire and bombarding each other with mortar shells.

Ali al-Rikabi, field commander of the National Transitional Council (NTC), Libya’s new rulers, said fighting was raging in “four or five streets of the neighbourhood.”

“The dollar neighbourhood was liberated last night and now the fight is in Number Two neighbourhood,” Baghhar said.

Press Release
Sirte: The Integrity of Medical Facilities Must Be Respected
MISRATA/PARIS, OCTOBER 19, 2011—The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today called on the warring parties in Libya to immediately halt all attacks on and intrusions into

medical facilities in the town of Sirte. All wounded patients must have access to care and must be able to receive treatment without discrimination and fear of reprisal.
Ibn Sina Hospital in Sirte has borne much of the brunt of fighting that has raged there recently. Last week, MSF teams based in Misrata were able to travel to Sirte and observe the damage to the hospital.
“Ibn Sina Hospital came under fire and was attacked,” said Barbara Frederick, MSF emergency coordinator. “An explosion destroyed an operating room and most of the windows were damaged. As a result of the fighting over the last few weeks, patients had to be moved into the hallways.”

Security was also not ensured at the hospital.

“Last week, there were many fighters coming in and out of the hospital with their weapons, checking the patients,” said Frederick. “We don’t know who they were looking for.”

After assessing the needs at Ibn Sina, MSF provided surgical supplies, organized the resumption of surgery in the hospital’s two refurbished operating rooms, and delivered 150,000 liters of water. The hospital, which had been without water and electricity, is now fully functional. Libyan medical personnel have arrived to assist, enabling the resumption of surgical services. Security, however, remains critical to ensuring that all wounded patients have access to care, regardless of which “side” they belong to, as stipulated by international humanitarian law.
Most of the population of Sirte has fled the city, which now resembles a ghost town. Some civilians are still unable to leave, however, because of fighting in northern areas. MSF is calling on the warring parties to ensure that civilians have access to care, and to respect the security and integrity of wounded people inside medical facilities.

Ouch i’m back and my leg is hurt SHIT it’s painful

Ouch i’m back and my leg is hurt SHIT it hurts and the worst is idk what’s wrong with it

Waking up in the hospital isn’t that cool, Good to be home missed u all

my leg from #Sirte i may have to go out of #Libya

muscles and nerves in my leg are damaged they told me that resting it will heal me over time

lower leg near my feet left leg 6ab3an

min al anti-aircarft

actually today i’m much much better yesterday i was screaming from pain

Why does #humanrights always attack us rebels when someone makes a mistake but never praise us for saving thousands of civilians!!!

#Sirte has turned into hell for Gaddafi troops

BTW Angelina Jolie was in Libya? Damn it! I lived in Libya my whole life and when the hottest lady in the planet come i’m stuck with Gaddafi

boxing and MMA was brutal in Gaddafi’s mind but killing people for no reason is not! See who we have to deal with?

I used an #Israeli rifel in #Sirte which i got from G-Troops

What FFs lack and Gaddafi loyalests got is that they can fight dirty and we can bomb the city from outside if we want in seconds.

i will show u my friends got lots of pictures but when they get back safly IA

How is the Revs in #Yemen and #Syria in #Sirte we heavly pray for them and #Somalia and i added a pray for #OcccupyWallStreet !

How long #Sirte is gonna take to liberate? My guess is a while but IA in two more weeks it will be fully liberated and safe.

I miss my friends in #Sirte already! When i’m there i scream at there faces (I’M SICK OF YOU!) but here i miss those smelly idiots

Because of the pain i went through yesterday i think i forgot yesterday! Really i don’t remember much

btw my friend who lived in #Sirte told me that the city was already destroyed by Gaddafi forces looting it before the FFs came in!

we sent back most reporters cuz they caused Gaddafi troops to know our positions and plans but they’re back i guess

thats why i think bani walid was so succesful.There was no live shots of the operation to take the city. No free reconaisance

the rebels of the east have a good relationship with reporters cuz we knew them from the past 8 months but we stopped them

But hamdullah now they know that against a dispicable enemy like kirdaffi its smart not to have live updates from the front

Yes Snipers there are just Goooood and only need our position! They f****d our lives. Sorry for the language

These are people’s houses and Shafshufa is there we want him alive

the paradox of war…were going to lose alot of men trying to take him alive.. If hes there..

he is worth it, think of the Billion$ we could make out selling his hair? We won’t need oil for ever lol

How do i know that Aljazeera is the best source of news? It’s the ONLY channel that goes with us to the very front line and danger of sniper

i got the phone number of Andy and Nick and Dave(NATO,Sarkozy,Cameron) so we can call them lol

Hey when a car flips with u in the back twice in one week what does that mean? Cuz it heppaned to me!?

Al Qathafi Diehards in Sirte Keep Declaration of Normalcy in Abeyance

When the desert oasis of Bani Walid, was liberated on Monday, the red, black and green flag of the new Libya was raised leaving Sirte as the only remaining bastion loyal to the former Libyan leader, Muammar Al Qathafi who after the fall of Tripoli two months ago went into hiding.

Sirte, the fugitive leader’s hometown is the remaining city where Al Qathafi’s diehards still resist despite having been cornered into a small section of the city. A fierce attack that began almost a week ago has failed to dislodge them completely from the small area they currently occupy that has even been minimised with the capture of the so-called Dollar neighbourhood.

Essam Baghhar, field commander for the Zintan Brigade, confirmed with AFP that one of two neighbourhoods in the Mediterranean city that had still been under the control of the Al Qathafi loyalists fell to the National Transitional Council, NTC, fighters fell late on Tuesday.

Baghhar said: “The Dollar neighbourhood was liberated last night (Tuesday) and now the fight is in Number Two neighbourhood.”

Bizarre bulldozer battleship roars into Libya fight

Onto a battlefield littered with bizarre homemade weaponry, Libya’s ruling militia fighters have rolled out their weirdest contraption yet: a concrete and steel behemoth that’s a cross between a bulldozer and a battleship.

The towering monster, which appeared Wednesday in Sirte to help capture Muammar Gaddafi’s home town, has a battleship’s pointed prow and portholes along its sides with steel covers that can be pulled down.

Jibril: we are moving from national struggle to a political struggle #libya

Jibril: normal process would be to move from revolution to forming a government #libya

Jibril: the political struggle requires resources which I do not have #libya

Jibril: I would like to contribute through roles that can be effective on the ground #libya

Jibril: I would specifically like to help with the issues of women and children #Libya

Jibril: the roles I would like to help are with regards to civil society

Q: role of security firms. Jibril: see no prospect for security firms to be a bridge for foreign intervention in #Libya affairs

Q: we notice you are pessimistic about #Libya by saying there is chaos and it is going to be difficult. Why are u pessimistic?

Jibril: I say things based on facts – Gaddafi has contracted 12,000 fighters and there are 68 cars laden with treasures that have left Libya

Jibril: I am neither optimistic nor pessimistic but i say things based on fact #libya

Q: what message does ur resignation send? Surely staying on through to elections would send the right message to all of #libya

Jibril: I haven’t been appointed to this job, I did it because i was a nationalist. I do not possess the instruments to do continue and can

Jibril: …contribute in many other ways in terms of building institutions which is the main principle I stand behind

I must also say that yesterday one doc told Clinton when she came that they had medication. Another doc came up to me & desperately told me they didn’t. The docs were told to remain in a room & not to leave until Clinton left. As I see it most docs have little in their power.

he said they had medication whilst the other told me they didn’t; problem is there is medication in the storage and it stays there

it’s the little Gaddafi in people. People in charge don’t feel the responsibility they have

Thirteen-year-old Naseem heads daily to the frontline in Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown Sirte, saying he feels inspired watching his father and older brother fight the former Libyan leader’s forces.
“I am not scared,” says the rake-thin boy, even as he shows scars on his left foot caused by a too-close encounter with a mortar shell during the battle for the town of Ajdabiya a few months back.
“I get inspired when I come to the battlefield with my father and brother,” he says, speaking with obvious awe of his father Saleh Ahmed and 17-year-old brother Murad. He says he provides “back-up” for his family members.

Anti-Gaddafi graffiti on the walls of Libya

During the four decades that Col Muammar Gaddafi ruled Libya, his official portraits were everywhere. Now that he has been overthrown, artists are revelling in their new-found freedom and turning this tradition on its head. Caricatures of the vilified leader have been painted on walls throughout the country.
Benghazi, the epicentre of the uprising that swept Libya, has become the hub for this new form of street art. Among the city’s artists is 22-year-old Ibrahim Humaid, an engineering student, who started painting caricatures of Col Gaddafi while he was manning a checkpoint during the revolution.

Many of you won’t like this but some so-called ‘#FF’ are plain stupid. Take law into own hands and apply it inconsistently #libya #feb17

Those manning checkpoints need to learn how to hold a gun for instance and know how to address people #Libya #feb17

Just because you went to the jebha once doesn’t make you a FF either – takes a lot more than that #Libya #feb17

Libya: Colonel Gaddafi’s underground bunker discovered in Sirte

Libyan government forces have uncovered a fortified bunker below Colonel Gaddafi’s abandoned house in his hometown of Sirte, where anti-Gaddafi fighters believe he is still hiding

Much like the rest of Sirte, Colonel Gaddafi’s once opulent residence now lies in ruins following the bitter fighting for his last bastion of loyalist support in Libya following the fall of Bani Walid.
With the rooms inside the deposed dictator’s home now filled with rubble – the elaborate fixtures and fittings destroyed – government fighters led reporters into a maze of rooms underneath the house, where mattresses were laid out on the floor suggesting the bunker may have recently been in use.
Earlier, a National Transitional Council (NTC) commander said that he was 85 per cent certain that Muammar Gaddafi, his son, Mo’tassim, and some of his ministers were still hiding in the city.

These two heavily armed freedom fighters seem to have associated their own movement, a revolution that ousted four-decade dictator Muammar Qaddafi, with the one that is attempting to fight corporate greed and big bank malfeasance.

Libya new rulers to compensate fighters as Sirte battle fiercely continues

Libya’s new rulers will compensate the fighters who overthrew the regime of Muammar Qaddafi, as well as the families of those killed on the battleground, National Transitional Council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil said on Wednesday.

“The NTC will set up a special body tasked with helping to rehabilitate fighters,” Abdel Jalil said in the eastern city of Benghazi, cradle of the revolution that ousted Qaddafi.

“Families of the martyrs, the wounded and the fighters themselves will be compensated,” he said.

But he urged Libyans to be “patient.”

“We don’t have enough funds right now… we ask you to be patient,” he said during a meeting organized by a local non-government organization.
