TRIPOLI - The symbol of a regime's war against its people has a name: Measured. There will be no release that could compensate the people of this city. Nothing can compensate for the massacre that is bleeding at this time. If only one camera was able to enter a measured no one would doubt. Be able to take back the 100 dead and 1300 injured in a week of blood flooded the streets and squares of the city under siege.
The cameraman would testify that Gaddafi Army snipers from the rooftops shooting at the two hospitals against doctors and nurses who try to enter or exit. A journalist, a witness outside, would be able to see better in this foul fog of war that poisons the whole. Could you confirm the legend put about by the rebels that have deployed the gheddafiani even two black mercenaries, in Africa.
Or explain instead of the two captured soldiers are simply two Libyans in the south of the country, forced or persuaded by their officers to rage over the people of measures irrespective of the passport. As if it were less severe. The story of the siege is known: 15 days, after the gradual reconquest gheddafiana in all cities of Tripoli to the ends of Ajdabiya, in Cyrenaica, the last great bastion of the rebels has been measured.
It is a city unlike any other, the third most populated after Tripoli and Benghazi. The first for merchants, intellectuals, even workers ": the steel industry is the only of Libya, there are cement factories, other small industries. But above all there is so much business, schools, strong universities.
There was a political class that has given Prime Minister and ministers to Gaddafi and the country, refined and intelligent men, friends of Italy and Europe. Measured visited a decade ago, the "Balbo", the coastal road built by Italo Balbo and resurfaced by Gaddafi, now around the south.
The town lies in a sort of "oasis" separated from the sea by a strip of sand dunes, blessed aquifers discovered by Ardito Desio in the thirties, this has also helped to make a garden of civilization in a country Libyan bitter and sour as can sometimes be Libya. Measured by two weeks is strangled and hammered by tanks of the 32nd Brigade, the one led by Khamis Gaddafi (BTW: he must be dead for real, is never reappeared on TV for 4 days).
Water and electricity have been cut in almost all districts. The technique now has nothing more than urban warfare, but is close to the devastation of urban-style Grozny. Rockets "Katyusha" from afar, then tanks and heavy machine guns against the rebels in the nested case. The battle yesterday for the first time has involved directly fighters UN covenant.
The French have shot down a Libyan jet "Galeb", which was landing after trying to bomb the rebels. The Galeb is a Yugoslavian old tool of the seventies, but the rebels against anything cheap is strategic. Gheddafiani I then tried to land at the port, to isolate all of the city. But in the port area there are still 6,000 poor foreign workers, Egyptians, Nigerians, Malians, who had chosen this miserable way out and are stuck there for three weeks.
The attack from the sea would have been rejected, and the rebels say they have regained control of the port. In the next hours will certainly aided by Allied fighters, but the aircraft is increasingly difficult to bomb the tanks closed in the streets of a city. If they do, citizens will be measured strangled, and if you are really likely to do collateral damage among innocent inhabitants themselves.
Of this "collateral damage" of civilians killed, is the attempt of propaganda on which the scheme shamelessly tries to play his last card. Yesterday morning at 8 of the TV cameramen were taken to the morgue of a hospital. There were 18 bodies, some charred, all covered by towels, no one identified.
Nobody could ask questions, see the place where the missiles would hit them, maybe see if the bodies had signs of bullets, had died in other clashes. Same story in the afternoon, the funeral of other bodies of strangers, without family, without names or details. The stench was powerful, a sign that the bodies had not been killed in the night, but for the government were the victims of the "air of the Crusaders, who last night again conducted air raids on Tripoli.
There is still no real evidence of "collateral damage", but above all there is no signal of what should be done to really Gaddafi: to respect a truce, stop firing on his people.
