Tripoli is the center of Libya’s, and maybe the world’s, attention. Alive in
Libya is tracking down the few that have managed to escape from Tripoli,
starting with this pair of friends who escaped two weeks after the revolution to
the ones who escaped only two days ago. Stay tuned for more interviews with
them.

Hi All, and in particular @ Gerhard Heinz

I have just picked up someone who managed to flee Tripoli and arrive in
Tunisia today. These are the summary of what he told me.

He personally saw people acquiring arms in Suq il Gima in the last two days
as mentioned on this blog. These are FF from Tripoli who are fighting the Libyan
forces. FFs even painted CATS in the FF flag colours
and let them run around the Suq il Gima area. When the G Forces tried to catch
the cats they were fired upon by the FFs. ‘Like a trap’ he said.

90% of men who try to leave the capital will not make it out unless they are
very well connected, accompanied by military helpers, or travelling with
females. Mobile phones are mostly being confiscated, cash and jewellery is also
being taken. It is best to travel very early in the morning as there are less
checkpoints – 20 the least, but can increase to almost 40 at different times of
the day/night.

Men who are not allowed to continue on will be taken and sent to fight on the
front lines in the mountains, Misurata and Ajdabiya. Many men between the ages
of 18-40 are being rounded up inside Tripoli and forced to joing MG’s forces
using blackmail that there families will be harmed/arrested if they do not
fight. Many people have disappeared.

At night there are a lot of gunshots heard all around the city. Especially
downtown close to Green Square and Imgerjef Street areas.

The fuel situation is terrible. Most queues are kilometres long and people
are spending days and sleeping in their cars to fill up. Securiity forces, very
often in plain clothes jump the queues and it is causing alot of fights. One
person was killed only metres away from my source, with a straight point blank
shot to the head by a security officer to a civilian that simply complained
about him jumping the queue.

Supermarkets are empty. Food is getting very low, only Tunisian or Libyan
made products are on the shelves. Bread has huge queues also. Flour is
relatively available though the Tunisian/Egyptian labourers have left, so not
many Libyan people know how to make bread.

As many outsiders believe, my source says that he, like many of his friends
and family, believe that Tripoli is 80% against Gaddaffi. But they are too
afraid to speak out. It is happening but slowly. If all the pressure from Nato,
the blockade, air strikes, and advances on the front lines continues, he thinks
that Tripoli like a pressure cooker will explode.

We don’t know when but we hope soon.

Thanks to all who blog on this site. Please keep up the great work. It will
be over soon Inshallah.

Jamal and his colleagues go to work
at their Tripoli travel agency as normal each morning – only to return home
later without having made a single sale.
Their office, which used to issue
200 itineraries a day to business travellers and holidaymakers, can do nothing
now foreign warplanes are patrolling Libya’s skies.
“We have only Nato
flights,” Jamal deadpanned to the Financial Times. “You want a ticket?”
