Reply #49: Video accounts from the Western Mountains [View All]

[Iterate]

The struggle in this area is more akin to that of a guerrilla army against an occupying force. Early on, there were no weapons depots which were stormed other than local police stations. Weapons are gathered from Gaddafi forces after each victory.

Regime forces are limited to the road network, and have replied with heavy weapons. Guerrillas know the area and use ambush.

Some of these videos may have been posted before, but I thought it would be good to have some of the better ones gathered in one place and reviewed for their current importance. I don't know what to do with the Arabic titles, as few of them translate well. So I'm just adding a brief description if necessary. It's a reverse chronological order, mostly.

There are several similar ones of peaceful protest at about the same time. Troops had been pulled out to finish off Az Zawiyah.
