Sirte 'pays price of revolution'


Muammar Gaddafi may be dead but people from Sirte, the deposed leader's hometown, say they are paying the price of the revolution. The town was under siege for more than a month and some residents are questioning the motives of the National Transition Council that attacked Sirte. Homes have been looted and burned, and many believe the NTC fighters took revenge on the town as recompense for damage done by Gaddafi to the cities of Benghazi and Misrata. Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from Sirte.

Gaddafi loyalists fight back in Sirte


Fighters loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, who now control just one small area of Sirte, are making their final stand in the toppled Libyan leader's hometown. It is thought there are about 2000 fighters left there. They have been pushed back as the frontline has moved in recent days, but they are still offering strong resistance, and National Transitional Council [NTC] forces had to draw back slightly on Thursday because of heavy shelling. The NTC fighters have been suffering casualties, and with each one the anger and resentment deepens. Most of that is directed at the foreign fighters. Anyone black is considered to be one of Gaddafi's hated mercenaries. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports from Sirte.

Gaddafi 'killed, died of wounds': Video of Sirte celebrations


For latest updates, follow RT on twitter.com and www.facebook.com Colonel Gaddafi has reportedly been captured alive, after two months on the run. The country's new authorities claim the ousted leader's been taken in his hometown of Sirte, reportedly overrun by government forces. It's been the last major stronghold of Gaddafi's supporters for the past two months. Reporters in Sirte have so far been unable to confirm Gaddafi's capture, or even that the town has fallen to interim forces. Libya's current ruling body, the National Transitional Council, had said they would declare Libya liberated, once Sirte falls.

Gaddafi loyalists holding out in Sirte


Loyalists of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have been holding out in Sirte, the last city to be fully liberated. Sirte benefitted greatly from Libya's wealth, but the hometown of Gaddafi now symbolises the divide in the country. Heavy shelling and gun battle have ravaged the city. And residents have borne the brunt of the conflict, helplessly witnessing their city having been looted and burned down. The new rulers may win this war but it has to be seen whether they will be able to win the hearts and minds of the people here. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports from Sirte.

Sirte: The Abandoned City


As the battle for Libyan leader Muammer Qaddafi's hometown, Sirte rages on, families crammed themselves into cars as they fled the city on Sunday, reporting a humanitarian situation nearing a tipping point. The ongoing battle for Sirte, between anti-Qaddafi fighters and backed by NATO air strikes, has trapped people inside the town of about 100000 through several fierce assaults over two weeks. The chairman of the ruling National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, said his forces had called a two-day truce to allow civilians to leave. Hundreds of people, many of them women and children and the elderly, took advantage of a lull in fighting to make their way out of the city. Cars waited in line as they were searched by NTC fighters to make sure they were not carrying arms or suspected pro-Gaddafi forces. Meanwhile, aid workers from the International Committee of the Red Cross brought medical supplies to Sirte as fears grew that a humanitarian disaster was unfolding there. ICRC medical staff said, "We hope that we will be able to go in as quickly as possible again because we really need to and we want to assist civilians inside Sirte and this hospital - the medical personnel and the war wounded. This is our role, this is our mandate and we want to take the opportunity to remind all the parties to the conflict to allow safe access for medical personnel and spare as much as possible civilian lives."

Asiel spoke to many people in Sirte today - and recounts to us what is going on - it is surrounded by NATO's rebels. From: leonorenlibya.wordpress.com "In Sirt and Bani Walit are heavy shelling all the time. The Hospital of Sirte are running out of medicine and surgery very often has to be done without drugs - even for children . No more drugs available. Civilians pay suffering by cutting supplies of water and electricity. The victims are still many under the rubble of the bombing and can not be evacuated because people trying to recover the bodies are bombarded from the air . Civil seeking to leave the city have been killed. obtner information is very difficult area because the phones and electricity has been bombed . Tripoli was bombarded these days however is hiding.

National Transitional Council (NTC) forces say they have cornered loyalists of Muammar Gaddafi in a small area in the centre of Sirte, the hometown of the deposed Libyan leader that has become the key battleground in their final push to control the country. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley, reporting metres away from the frontline on Tuesday afternoon, said that the "noose was tightening" around Gaddafi's remaining fighters, but that they were waging a fierce rearguard effort, and had "a lot of ammunition and a lot of resolve"

Libya The Legend Of Sirte Op-Ed by Middle Eastern Historian Pr. J Salt - YouTube.flv


The Legend Of Sirte -- OpEd October 18, 2011 By Jeremy Salt www.eurasiareview.com A legend is being created that is going to haunt the people who have been propelled into power in Tripoli. In Sirte a handful of men have set an example of bravery in the face of impossible odds that will eventually find its place in Arab history. Weeks of missile and bomb attacks have reduced the centre of the city to ruins and killed an unknown number of civilians. The photos coming out of the city show Beirut-style devastation. The fighters defending the city would seem to be doomed. They have their backs to the sea and are surrounded on three sides. We don't know who they are or how many of them there are. Some might be the remnants of the Libyan army and others civilians who have taken up arms to defend their city. We don't know why they are fighting. We are told that they are just fighting for their lives. We are told that they are mercenaries, but mercenaries put down their arms when the money runs out. We are told that they are 'Gaddafi loyalists'. That discredits them immediately. Noone really knows what they are fighting for, but their country has to be a possibility for at least some of them. Why was this war launched? The Gaddafi who has now been dislodged is the same old Gaddafi who arrived in Rome a couple of years ago with photos of Umar al Mukhtar pinned to his tunic as he stepped off the plane. He is the same Gaddafi who was embraced in Paris by Sarkozy and, according to <b>...</b>

Ahmed Ibrahim captured in Sirte 20-10-2011


Ahmed Ibrahim the uncle of the former information minister Musa Ibrahim captured in Sirte. Ahmed Ibrahim was a henchman to the fallen Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi TRANSLATION: "This is an interview with Ahmad Ali Ibrahim Mansour, who was captured fighting alongside Gaddafi's forces. Ibrahim says he's from the Gadhadhfa tribe, and was born in Chad. He says Gaddafi is a relative from the same tribe, saying that they'd known each other even before the '69 "revolution", and mentions some of the positions he held during Gaddafi's rule. Ibrahim claims the last time he met Gaddafi was on 1st of September 2011 in Sirte. Upon being asked about the freedom fighters who had captured him, Ibrahim says the group consisted of FFs from different cities, but that he was brought to the place he's held in now by Misrati FFs. He says they came to him to his home in Sirte, where he was staying with a group of guys. The interviewers ask Ibrahim to name these guys but he says he's unable to do so. The interviewers then accuse those guys of being mercenaries, but Ibrahim denies that claiming they were just fighters who had fled the battle after being attacked by NATO's planes. The clip ends with Ibrahim saying that NATO's bombs had hit the spot right before his car."

Fighting Rages On in Sirte


NATO intensified its airstrikes in Libya on Friday as severe battles raged on between Muammar Qaddafi's loyalist and opposition fighters in Sirte. More than 15 patients arrived at a field hospital, west of Sirte after being wounded in Friday's fighting. The ongoing battle in Qaddafi's hometown, beset from three fronts, has raised concern for about 100000 civilians trapped inside the city with each side accusing the other of endangering them. Civilian cars were seen leaving Sirte from the early hours of Friday well into the afternoon. Shelling and tank fire continued from both sides on the eastern and western fronts as opposition fighters continued to face heavy resistance. Fighting was heavy near a roundabout on the eastern side of the city, where the interim ruling National Transitional Council forces have been faced with sniper and gunfire for five days. Qaddafi loyalists and some civilians were blaming NATO air strikes and shelling by the forces of the NTC for killing civilians. By: Ikram Al Yacoub Al Arabiya With Agencies

More Bodies Found in Sirte


Libya's National Transitional Council said on Friday that it had discovered 11 unidentified bodies, some burnt and some that had been run over by vehicles. The corpses, believed to have been killed by forces loyal to former leader Muammar Qaddafi, were found face down and piled up, in an area in Sirte known as "Dollar Neighborhood". NTC fighters said they found more bodies in a similar state in other parts of Sirte, Qaddafi's birthplace, and one of his last remaining strongholds. Abdel Ati al-Barouni, an NTC commander, said that aid agencies have been unable to recover the bodies from the area due to intense fighting which has been going on for weeks. Snipers hidden in numerous buildings have been the biggest hindrance for NTC fighters trying to gain control of the city, along with other bastions, which they say is essential before they can begin the process of rebuilding a democratic government. Rebels say that since the uprising began in February, tens of thousands have lost their lives or been displaced. Qaddafi meanwhile went into hiding a few months ago and his whereabouts remain unknown. He was recently believed to be located somewhere in the south of the country.

One nurse said her injured brother could not reach the hospital because of the violence, and a Red Cross team was unable to get there on Saturday. Some fleeing families readily admit their loyalty to Gaddafi, though fighters for the National Transitional Council appear to be allowing them to leave after searching for weapons. They say loyalist volunteers are responsible for holding out against NTC forces. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Sirte.
