Anti-Gadhafi forces say supplies coming to Tripoli
2011-08-29
Meanwhile,
...back at the sandwich shop, Caroline was experimenting with ingredients of increasing volatility...
the Libyan opposition says supplies of food, water and fuel will begin arriving in the capital Tripoli on Sunday as they consolidate power in the capital.

People in the capital are struggling with severe shortages of fuel, water, and electricity. Libyan officials said on Sunday they hope to restart production at the Zawiya oil refinery as soon as possible to alleviate severe fuel shortages in the country.

Fuel prices in Libya have skyrocketed since the conflict broke out last February between forces loyal to Qadaffy

and rebels who now control much of the country.

Mohammed Aziz, operations manager at the Zawiya refinery, some 50 kilometres west of Tripoli, said the facility was getting ready to restart production on Monday. He said the capacity of the refinery was 120,000 barrels a day before the fighting started, but it had fallen to 60,000 barrels a day during the conflict.

#1  The UN is concerned that a major humanitarian crisis is about to occur in Tripoli.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM, TOPIX > REBEL SPOKEMAN: LIBYA NEEDS INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE [aid], NOT TROOPS.

The Libyuhn Rebels want food, etc.

versus

* TOPIX > POST-GADHAFI LIBYA WILL NOT NEED FINANCIAL AID, espec wid US$50.0Bilyuhn of ex-Muammar = Regime assets floating around in international bank accounts.

The Libyuhn Rebels don't need Food, etc.

Thank goodness thats cleared up - again!

--------------

* TOPIX > [Debka] PRO AL-QAEDA BRIGADES CONROL QADDAFI STRONGHOLDS IN TRIPOLI SEIZED BY REBELS.

IOW, by extension = inference AQ + aligned is in position to control or dominate the new post-Gaddafi Govt. in Libyuh, as the Rebs are getting set to transfer + form their new Govt. in Tripoli.

* SAME > [Press TV = Webster Tarpley] NATO SUPPORTS AL-QAEDA'S NOTORIOUS GENOCIDAL ABDUL BELHADJ AS NEW LIBYAN MILITARY DICTATOR.

* SAME > IRAN COVERTLY GAVE [humanitarian only?] AID TO LIBYAN REBELS.
