Reply #54: Zintan, Jadu, Yefren update [View All]

First comes a missed update from yesterday, May 12.

Map: http://twitpic.com/4q8bc2/full

There was a battle on the road north into Nalut. G forces to the south had been blocked and pushed east of Yefren. G forces N. of Yefren moved back to attack the N. of Nalut, repeating a move that's never worked before. It didn't this time either.

What follows is a series of videos taken by Gaddafi soldiers and were found on their cellphones. I won't post them all, but you can find them here:

Here's one, and I think it might be shown on AJE:

The shelling and intentional destruction of UNESCO and other heritage sites is a whole topic in itself. This is just one instance. It's another project I may never get to, so I'll just C&P this that I had ready for a UNESCO post. Twitter is useless right now anyway.

Live call from Nafusa Mountains, April 28
April 28, 2011, 11:20 local time: live call to Yefren Media center in Jadu, Nafusa Mountains, recorded live on Libya Alhurra.
Kalaa: historical area of Kalaa bombed: ancient monuments, cemetaries, mosques, going back to Libyan kingdom, all damaged by Gaddafi forces. Urgent call to Unesco and other NGO’s to raise awareness of the destruction occuring in Nafusa mountains, as well as elsewhere in Libya.

Twitter is so overloaded right now I'll just have to leave this or edit later. We should have a call-in tonight anyway at Libya Alhurra.
