2019-05-07 |
[Libya Observer] An gang from Zintan under the command of Idris Madi, a military officer loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar![]() , has robbed millions of dinars from a cash-in-transit van, sent by the Central Bank of Libya in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... to the banks in the mountain town of Jadu as Ramadan allocation. The gang intercepted the van on Sunday near Shakshuk village, north of Jadu, and kidnapped the security personnel accompanying it, all from Jadu. The robbery sparked anger in Jadu where local residents were waiting for the cash to buy Ramadan goods. The city’s military council moved troops to Shakshuk to take military action against the gang. Later, military leaders from Zintan under the command of Tripoli-based Libyan Army intervened and promised to settle the incident peacefully and send the cash delivery to Jadu. Jadu Military Council accused warlord Khalifa Haftar of attempting to drag the mountain region into a large-scale war to ease pressure on his gangs in south Tripoli. |

#2 They should save up for this, maybe take out a 'Ramadama Club' account at the local bank. |

#1 Salt. A lot of money (1M Libyan Dinars = ~3/4 million US) for a small town of around 6,500 folks just to buy holiday stuff. Ramadan goods must be expensive. |
