| 2016-12-13 |
| [Libya Observer] The corpse count of Sirte liberation war has risen to 715, the spokesperson of Misrata Central Hospital told The Libya Observer on Monday. Akram Qaliwan said more than 3250 fighters have been maimed during al-Bunyan al-Marsoos military operation to eradicate ISIS from Sirte. "Between 10-15% of maimed fighters are in critical health conditions," he indicated. Sirte was announced fully liberated from the Death Eaters of ISIS last week after seven months of fierce festivities in the city and its suburbs. The majority of casualties are from the city of Misrata. Qaliwan declared that doctors had conducted more than 2000 surgeries so far, adding that Misrata Central Hospital was overcrowded during the seven months of fighting, stressing that it had operated with 125% capacity. |

| #2 My question is who hates Eddie Mercx so much they'd burn an RPG round on such a poor likeness? The BBQ here is bad, like the Camel Calvert, magic-8-ball sez lite out. |

| #1 I found myself packed into a corner, confused, like I had a Ford Cologne V6 spinning on my head, and low on oil. I found my legs, wobbly, and took a step into despair, failing to move, cannot see, cannot hear. Seconds turn into years. Clarity as I understand Maisha is in front of me, dark and quiet, desperately trying to not make noise as she fought the choking dust. The moonlight flickers through Maisha's window, sparking the dust on the bottle of Caliph Calvert. The swig is muddy....near miss, RPG I would say by the smell. Oh no! moving by memory to my favorite seat, my fear is confirmed. The drawing by Mahmoud the Weasel is destroyed! Did the RPG miss us, or hit the target? |
