Muammar Qaddafi that the Army never wanted to be a powerful institution. I think their own brigades and paramilitary forces and the Armed Forces ninguneo. Virtually dismantled the Libyan army, after the mass defection of soldiers and the assault on the barracks that followed the outbreak of the revolt in Benghazi on February 15, tens of thousands of rifles were handed over to civilians who now join the ranks of the rebels.
But as with the political, everything is done. Only last Wednesday was named the former General Omar el-Hariri Gaddafi old comrade-in-chief of the Military Council, which promises to obey the orders of the National Transitional Council. Any resemblance of the insurgent forces with an army is purely coincidental.
Just about getting a gun. And that's not very complicated. Often, youth groups cited in the square Mahkama in central Benghazi, and decide from the front. Nobody tells you to. They are mounted on trucks, many of them Japanese, and head to the road leading from Ras Lanuf Benghazi. There is almost never convoys.
At most, three or four vehicles full of willing fighters dressed in civilian clothes in the vast majority. Few wear uniforms, but in this there is no order. The disguises are khaki and blue, some are jackets, but Nike shoes or shoes. Each group of rebels is in part when he wins. With outdated weapons, obsolete in many cases because it was not properly preserved in stockpiles.
In addition to the Kalashnikov that abound throughout the Arab world, insurgents have machine guns mounted on trucks, grenade launchers, light artillery pieces, antiaircraft missiles to 14.5 mm in size and portable rocket launchers. Is also a tank parked at rebel checkpoints. But it is not clear that they have made use of them.
Also populate the controls of the insurgents men who have only as many young guns projectiles clean, dirty, after years of neglect. Among the boxes of ammunition some are North Korean origin. They face the rebels to forces much better equipped, with much more firepower. Mainly because they dominate the airspace.
A decisive advantage. Stampedes are common in the checkpoints of the unorganized militia when they hear the explosion or the flight of the fighter jets of the Libyan Air Force. Gheriani Mustafa, one of the representatives of the Transitional National Council of Libya, said that in the Ras Lanuf, Brega and Ajdabiya are deployed 17,000 rebels.
Yesterday, Sunday, embedded its first serious setback. His offensive way Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, was arrested and is now fighting in the vicinity of Ras Lanuf and Jawad Bin. The war has stalled in that area. The rebels announced, however, who have hidden their anti-aircraft batteries in the desert.
His inexperience is obvious. Some militants are juggling with grenades or aim their guns at anyone. There have already been fatal accidents due to their lack of skill. On Friday, a tremendous explosion rocked an arsenal of about 30 kilometers from Benghazi. Immediately, the rebels blamed Gaddafi.
But gaining strength version that it was a seizure which came smoking in the tank ammunition.
