| 2017-04-30 |
| [Libya Herald] The Libyan National Army (LNA) resumed there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... casualties ‐ if any ‐ are currently unknown, as is damage to the two places. Both bases are held by Misrata’s Third Force ‐ Tamenhint in alliance with members of the local Hasawna tribe. The Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB) were present in Jufra until earlier this month, but then pulled out. At Tamenhint, there was a ceasefire between LNA forces, led by General Mohammed Ben Nayel and his 12th Brigade, and the Third Force. This has effectively dissolved, although the effectiveness of the general’s troops in trying to capture the bas has been distinctly muted. The same has be so in regard to Meanwhile, ...back at the shouting match, a new, even louder, voice was to be heard... a new but uneasy truce has begun between the rival Tebu and Awlad Sulaiman communities in Sebha. Four days ago, there were festivities between the two communities in central Sebha following the Tebu confiscation of an Awlad Sulaiman gas truck. Both sides have now withdrawn to the original checkpoints they held, with the Tebu moving south of Sebha airport. |
