Cameraman: Cover our backs guys, from here. Stay here for a while. God is
Greater, God is Greater
On the 16th March 2011, the security battalions of
Gaddafi moved towards Misratah and tried to control it but were not able to
enter the striving city of Misratah. They failed terribly and the youth were
able to stop them on the main costal highway, the coastal highway, and here is
the flag of independence on its way to stop them at point on the coastal
highway. At this time, with the point ahead of me here, it seems that we have
full control over the battalion that is present on the left side of the road,
and we have it under complete control all Praise be God. God is greater, God is
greater, God is greater, God is greater and to God is all thanks! God is
greater! God is greater! God is greater…
Guy off shot: They’ve caught one. There there, his car is still here he’s in
it and it’s known if he’s dead or what..
Another guy off shot: Ah, the afro
guy who owns the chevrolet…
Guy off shot: Did you record it? Did you record
him?
Cameraman: I swear I wasn’t able to record him, even the guys said don’t
record him. These (recordings) we’re going to prepare and send to Al Jazeera.
Even the telephone lines have been cut by these dogs. More than once someone
calls, the moment he picks up, they say “hello” then close the
line.
Shouting: take it easy, take it easy!
Guys with AK47: Camera? It’s
alright you can record me, it’s all cool! God is Greater!
Cameraman: God is
greater! God is greater! God is greater! At last you have become modern Abu
Sha’alah! God is greater! Where’ve you been? Where’ve you been? (laughing) God
is greater! God is greater!
Guy shouting: Don’t go near anything boys!
Yo!
Cameraman: Guys! The place might be booby-trapped or something, be
careful! Don’t move anything!
Cameraman: And now the revolutionaries want to
attempt to sweep the coastal highway. This spot is located………this direction
board illustrates the place we’re in at the moment. From this spot, the capital
Tripoli is 240km away.
Guy with ammo belt round neck: We’re coming for you
Mu’ammar, we’re coming for you, we’re coming for you Mu’ammar. By the will of
God (we’ll reach) Baab Al Aziziyah, we’re coming for you!
Guy runs into

Cameraman: God is greater God is greater …
Cameraman: Date is 16th March….God is greater…in the area of Karzaaz. The
battalion is positioned on the coast highway. I bear witness that there is no
god except God and that Muhammed is the messenger of God. Abdul…, keep
low
Friend: Did you see that unclear by the Will of God it is ours. Did you
see that car that came in or not?
Cameraman: Yeah
Partner: God willing it

(3/21@LibyanDictator said: #Libya #Feb17 The situation in #Misrata – summary
and latest news as of 1 hour ago, confirmed and told by people on the
ground)
3/19 Attack reached the centre of the city, but was pushed back by the
fighters apart from snipers situated in 2 streets. The coalition then hit the
Gaddafi brigade base, they heard a lot of movement and saw troops driving away.
Snipers usually picked up during the night were left there, and fighters managed
to scour one street of snipers. 16 were caught.
3/20 witnessed most aggressive attack from 3 directions, but limited to
shelling and missiles. Remainders of the brigade push again to the centre of the
city by shelling heavily, then spreading snipers behind the tanks to protect
from revolutionaries attacking them. Fighters destroy 3 tanks and Gaddafi forces
retreat to one entrance near evacuated central hospital. Snipers remain on
street linked to that entrance, most running out of ammo. Entrances and exits of
buildings snipers are on have been thoroughly sealed.
At about 7ish local
Libya time, a group of Gaddafi thugs in civilian clothing were captured and
confessed to whereabouts of the rest of the thugs who are now surrounded.
Apparently, they expected to control Misrata by the end of the day and act out a
“civil war” tomorrow morning for Libyan TV.
Estimates for the Gaddafi forces taking shelter in Misrata hospital: 11
tanks, couple of jeeps, and 4 toyotas carrying anti aircraft artillery.Summary

1. 0858: A doctor in Misrata, who wanted to remain anonymous, tells the BBC: “This is the fifth or sixth consecutive day of shelling
the city. Our clinic is full of patients. We have no more beds to treat the
patients. There is no light in the city. There has been no communication for 10
days and no water for more than one week. And still the heavy shelling
continues. The situation is so serious. The international community must take
responsibility. Since yesterday we have received 125 injured including an entire
family with four children, shot in their car while trying to leave. Even my
medical resources are running out. We can’t sustain this any more.”
