'I stole Gaddafi's sunglasses': a rebel tells his extraordinary story

Photograph: Irina Kalashnikova I have a pair of Muammar Gaddafi's sunglasses. Cartier. My brigade was one of the first to break into his compound at Bab al-Aziziya. I was driving a vehicle with a 106mm gun on it. The day we broke into the compound was a day of intense fighting, so loud you couldn't hear each other's names. They are all altered to correct Gaddafi's vision. I have been fighting since the first day of the war. Then we went back to a school building where we were staying and we all cried. Before the war I saw Gaddafi a few times and his sons. The war isn't over, there is Sirte to capture and Beni Walid and maybe Sabha too; it could go on for another month, but in the end all cities will be free. I think first year will be very difficult for Libyans.

After the war what I really want to do is repair my mother's house and paint it. Après la guerre, gagner la paix. A city under siege: exclusive testimony from inside Tripoli. “The government is trying hard to portray life in Tripoli as calm and normal, but that’s not even remotely true” The situation in Tripoli is very tense and abnormal and scary indeed.

A city under siege: exclusive testimony from inside Tripoli

The government is trying hard to portray life in Tripoli as calm and normal, but in fact that’s not even remotely true. Only food stores, pharmacies and clinics remain open. Around 90% of other stores, such as clothes and shoe stores, are closed. The majority of people are in a state of civil disobedience.

“Petrol is almost non-existent. Extra litres” Although food is still available, it is very expensive – prices have gone up 200-300%. Power stays out for up to 12 hours a day in some areas. Cooking gas has become a luxury. Petrol is almost non-existent. “If Gaddafi’s thugs decide to storm your house, that’s it. The exact number of people arrested in Tripoli is not and probably will never be known, due to the disorganised manner in which arrests are made.

There is no way to protect ourselves from arrest. In Libya, rebels plan for post-Gaddafi era. Internal divisions and the recent assassination by rivals of the rebels’ military chief have kindled doubts about whether the opposition forces could maintain a united front if the oil-rich Mediterranean nation were to come under their control.

In Libya, rebels plan for post-Gaddafi era

The gains in recent days have included rebel advances in the city of Zawiyah — a key strategic city linking the capital to neighboring Tunisia — where they have captured the country’s only functioning oil refinery and the highway to the western border. And early Saturday, news reports said the strategic town of Brega is now completely under rebel control. Although rebel gains in the past have often been followed by reversals, the recent victories against government forces, on fronts that had been stalled for months, have renewed optimism among the rebels, some of whom now predict the fall of the capital within weeks, possibly days. People fleeing the capital have said they feared violence in the coming weeks if Gaddafi’s grip on power weakens. A Tripoli, l'attente obsédante d'une sortie de crise.

English. {*style:<b> The National Accord </b>*} The National Libyan Opposition Conference held its first conference in London on the 25 th and 26 th of June, 2005. Different political organizations and several independent figures came together to participate at the conference. The attendees discussed all agenda items in a democratic spirit characterized by engagement and active debate regarding the devastated conditions back home and ways to overcome the catastrophic calamity that has befallen Libya as a result of the 36 year brutal regime of Mouamar al-Qadhafi. The Conference emphasizes that returning the constitutional legitimacy to Libyan political life is fundamental for the establishment of a stable, sustainable political environment, through which the Libyan people will be able to freely exercise their productive roles in the development of their society. Worrying signs that Libya’s ‘transitional’ rebels plan to stay.
