Revolutionary scouts find road to Sirt heavily land mined - #libya #feb17 - bit.ly/gMw91n

tegenstrijdig met een eerder bericht dat de hele weg tot aan Sirte open zou liggen.

Revolutionary scouts find road to Sirt heavily land mined
_{Posted on March 28, 2011}

General Hamdi Hassi, an opposition commander in the town of Bin Jawad says that while taking Sirte will not be easy, NATO airstrikes have evened the scales between the pro- and anti-government forces.

He says that fighting was ongoing in Nawfaliya, about 100km from Sirte, and scouting parties had found the road towards the Gaddafi stronghold to be heavily mined.

He says that the current opposition strategy is to combine military assault with attempts to win over local tribes who are still loyal to Gaddafi.

Speaking to the Associated Press, he said:

Sirte will not be easy to take. Now because of NATO strikes on [the government's] heavy weapons, were almost fighting with the same weapons, only we have Grad rockets now and they dont Theres Gaddafi and then theres circles around him of supporters, each circle is slowly peeling off and disappearing. If they rise up it would make our job easier.

13.35 uur: Beelden van het slagveld
Een televisieploeg van de Noorse omroep NRK heeft een kijkje genomen op het slagveld even buiten de stad Ajdabiya. Tussen de gebombardeerde tanks en uitgebrande jeeps ruimen inwoners van de plaats zo goed en zo kwaad als het gaat de lijken van gesneuvelde militairen op. De lichamen worden afgevoerd in pick-uptrucks.

News, the way the Libyan authorities want it to be reported

Channel 4 News correspondent reveals the frustrations and restrictions faced by the foreign press pack

The al-Nasr Hotel Tannoy is piped into every room so you can't escape. It's Moussa again Moussa Ibrahim the ubiquitous, articulate but increasingly stressed Libyan government spokesman. He's got a PhD in Media Studies, he says, from "Royal Holloway University".

"All journalists to gather for bus trip to Bani Walid. You will meet members of the Warfallah tribe and some of the families of those killed in the bombing. The bus will be leaving in half an hour. You will be back in Tripoli early in the afternoon," he says.

The bus trips get to you, though. We're herded around like goats, usually to places we don't want to go in which the Libyan government fails to produce a shred of evidence of the civilian casualties it claims are mounting as a result of the coalition air and missile strikes.

Slowly, 50 recalcitrant, increasingly sceptical journalists file aboard the big blue Mercedes bus. Two-and-a-half hours go by. A big checkpoint, with buses full of soldiers heading in the opposite direction. We turn into a residential sidestreet and stop outside an ordinary-looking house. This is it?

Everybody files out, and straight into the tiny front yard, where women in black burqas are ululating and a group of Gaddafi-lovers are waving their AKs and chanting: "Allah, Muammar, Libya, ubess." God. Muammar. Libya. Only.

I approach an important-looking sheikh in a black hat and flowing gown. He's from the Warfallah tribe, the biggest in Libya. Rumour had it, they'd switched sides and turned on Gaddafi.

"No, no, no, this is not true," the sheikh says. He writes his name in my notebook. Dr Khallaf Mansour. He's a physicist, he says. "I received my doctorate in Washington DC. You must report the truth."

"Why are we here?" I ask him.

"I don't know," he says. "This is not my problem. It is your problem." He was right: we were in the middle of nowhere and the assembled foreign press corps quickly agreed that this was not a story. We had a problem.

Later, we clamber off the bus straight into what appeared to be a staged protest. The demonstration seems to have been entirely choreographed. The government minder in charge of today's operation, a woman in a purple dress called Aisha, is leading the chanting and shouting and whipping up the crowd. She smiles as she does so and does not mind being filmed.

When you see entire schools whose pupils have all been apparently shepherded out to shout and scream and wave green scarves and Gaddafi pictures at our passing blue bus, the only comparison that comes to mind is North Korea.

We leave the mayhem and climb back aboard, expecting to head back to Tripoli. If we left now, we would just about be in time to put together a TV report for tonight. But our minders have other plans. "Now you must enjoy Libyan hospitality. We have lunch." We tried remonstrating, to no effect. Lunch took an hour.

Then we were to be taken across town to the house of a retired colonel who joined up again to fight "al-Qaida" in Benghazi and was killed 10 days ago. The bus breaks down. When we finally get there, we are greeted by what look like the same demonstrators we'd seen before lunch. And all the children from a local school, for good measure. North Korea.

We decide, collectively, not to get off the bus, in protest. We send one journalist to represent us, thank our host for their invitation, apologise for our rudeness and explain that we had to return to Tripoli.

Not all correspondents go on the trips. It's always a tough choice risk missing deadlines by electing to go on a trip, or actually doing some newsgathering, albeit as herded goats.

There have been plenty of real casualties in the Libya war of 2011, but today, Dr Moussa's hapless government propaganda department has shot itself in the foot. Several times.

13:45 #Reuters
Libyan revolutionaries are facing serious fuel shortages as their westward advance stretched their supply lines. Long queues formed at petrol stations and fuel is scooped in bottles from underground storage tanks. Food, however, was not a problem. Pick ups drove up to the ramshackle caravans of rebel vehicles and handed water, bread and cheese to the insurgents. Some seemed to be organised supplies, others more like local residents seeking to help out.
