Libya February 2011

[gagarin]

Not much here about the Libyan situation... does anyone know anything about the borders - still open? Anyone over there now or been recently?

[roro]

I've heard that Lybian policemen and customs have gone away the border post .... and that Tunisian policemen try to do their best!!

Gone away? Just like that? Bloody hell.... hope this madness will end soon.

Well today Qadaffi ordered the air force to bomb the military headquarters around the country and it looks like a full scale civil war.
Two big clans in the east have revolted and proclaimed the "Islamic Emirate of Benghazi"!
Wonder if there is any country in the world willing to receive colonel Q? If not he will likely die on his home turf.

I have created a new thread with the material on the evolving Libyan situation. News is sub-sampled given the media and internet blackouts but anyone out in the desert but in touch via satellite phone might want to extend their stay or try out the old Marlboro route to Niger and Chad...... Seems like the borders are abandoned which, for Libya, sounds unbelievable!
