It is "Zero Hour" here in Tripoli according to a Facebook post by the #LNA. I think I will get a shwarma. arabnews.com/node/1528326/m…
My ground information is not matching the big statements. There was some internal fighting in Tarhouna between a salafist LNA group and a Haftar group. al Jufra Air Base is being hit by Turkish drones which appear far more accurate than UAE drones. Libyans are tired of this.
There was a big push but it was blocked and pushed back by about 80 civilians in Gharyan who shot the shit out of the LNA. They can't hold and Misrata has not gone heavy. Maybe he will air drop money and iPhones
Life in Tripoli despite lack of power, water and a clear future... is impressively calm. I have been in other surrounded cities and Tripolitanians are gracious and patient. They want the promise of the revolution not Bedouin politics and outside violence.
They gave me the plate of shwarma instead of the roll but it was damn fine. Haftar has declared war on the Turks the least I could do was to leave a good tip. Today I had an egg burger at a kiosk and it too was damn fine.
