TRIPOLI - The atmosphere of false calm in Tripoli can no longer hide the truth. Libya is a country at war, where military operations decided by Colonel Gaddafi is continuing. The man who has just become the "Mayor of Tripoli" manages to bring order to strike not only the arms depots around the country, but also the towns captured by rebels, the buildings where they are hidden young and old.
And the city has unleashed his death squads to get rid of dissidents. With a technique of concealing ruthless and efficient, the Libyan government's strategy in parallel feeding a smile, an information campaign and fighting oppressive, claiming that the rebels are men of Al Qaeda and that Tripoli is a peace agreement.
Meanwhile, attacks continue: last night, for the second time, young Zawiya telephoned reporters that they had met on Sunday. "The militants are trying to Gaddafi back in the center of the city, are preparing a new attack at night. We ask you to help us pray Italian journalists Italy, help to stop their tanks, their armored vehicles.
Do this before that here too there is a massacre. " Zawiya is a city 45 kilometers from Tripoli in the center 10 days ago was captured by the rebels. Since then continuously tanks and "technical" gheddafiane the siege from the East, West and South, with the population forced to live trapped in the cellars for fear of attacks.
The military bases on the outskirts of the city went with the rebels, giving them six wagons and some "technical", but the reinforcements have arrived for two days. The situation is already desperate to Zawiya: yesterday, a Reuters reporter was able to return to the area. "We are organizing, we are receiving new weapons and aid, we shall fight to repel their attacks, but we are isolated, we have no food, no milk for the children." Zawiya is a mortal threat to Gaddafi, because it is a pocket of rebellion over out of control just outside Tripoli to reclaim it as soon as possible to secure the colonel will use all necessary military force.
In town, things are more underground, making it more difficult to decipher. Many of the rebels who were taken to the streets Monday afternoon in Tajura, near the military airport on the night they were taken home by the death squads of the "Kataeb, backed by militias loyal secret service.
"They came at night, they destroyed our houses, have identified those who spoke with names and if they are taken away: please do not make more names of young people who speak with reporters." The city yesterday morning showed a false face and quiet: the press office of the government led journalists to visit a convoy of food and medical supplies ready to go to "help the brothers of Benghazi and then to a hospital near the hotel Rixos filled of wounded who all claim to have been affected by the rebels.
In Tripoli are starting to turn items that were common at this very hour, at night, are dug to be filled with the bodies of victims of summary executions. A TV crew tells us that the anti-Gaddafi slogans written on the walls were canceled Monday by teams of scavengers of the African town of Tripoli, and that the roads have been cleared while the worst from the barricades.
Another story bounces from the area near the Tunisian border, twenty Libyan soldiers who had tried to desert have been murdered with a shot in the neck, hands tied behind his back. Their bodies were photographed by Tunisian human rights activists who have boundless when the Libyan army was disbanded in the area.
But now Gaddafi has ordered the army to attack Nalut, on the border with Tunisia, the area that had been abandoned by the militias. The skin of the Libyan people, the war continues to Gaddafi incessant regime tried everything to hide it.
