The revolution has already trained 10,000 volunteers for the army of liberation

Control authorities of Libya's second city, Benghazi, announced today that it has already trained nearly 10,000 volunteers who would integrate the new armed forces of the revolution along with the remnants of the former army colonel explained Sheji Faraj, one of the responsible for accelerated courses of military training.

More than a hundred people of all ages, from adults over 50 years almost underage kids had been lined up in the school district Salmani while commanding Sheji instructors learned running a anti-aircraft machine gun. "We must avoid the barrels get hot! Remember, you have an effective range of just over a mile! Not shoot like crazy! You can throw more than 500 bullets in seconds!", Claimed by a Speaker one of the military.

Spontaneous barely knew the line and marched so disorganized as this popular riot. Some wore green camouflage uniforms, some brown ones used in the fighting in the desert and was also mixed from casual wear T-shirts-some with a Barcelona-style jeans and shirts Che Guevara. But Sheji, a former Air Force officer, tried to address the lack of martial harangues.

"Libya free! God is Great!". "It is true that (Muammar) Gaddafi has aircraft and special forces led by his son Jamis. We can be less on weapons but they can never match our spirit and determination, "said Sheji. The military said that training of this mix of civilians and former soldiers began 4 days ago." The Libyans did not need much training because they had to go a month each year to refresh their military expertise, "he said trying to dispel the doubts that might engender the retinue of Salmani.

The forces that were trained in the district of Salmani have come under the command of the new military council established in this city, which has created to "prepare the plan of the Libyan defense and military support to defend the sons of the Libyan people in the liberated areas and in the capital, and also in other areas that remain under the control of the oppressor and mercenaries ", as he read the statement released called Coalition of the Revolution of February 17, who runs the designs of Benghazi.

The formation of this group who are 15 senior officers responding to psychosis has been established throughout the east of the country against a possible counterattack by troops loyal to the dictator. In fact, we have begun to put antiaircraft guns on the seafront of the town while in cities like Marja Baida or former members of the army deployed armored few continue working in the armed forces seem on the verge of collapse.

The Gaddafi paid little attention to the military, except to the elite units loyal to his friends-and the military confrontation continued for several days with the rebels before switching sides has left this establishment plunged into utter chaos. A reality that can realize any visitor to visit the facilities only or what remains of them in villages like Baida, Shahat or own Benghazi.

In Sahahat, uniformed and Adem Salah tried to regroup Monday the 36 tanks are operational in the city located between Benghazi and Tobruk. "The people gave us oil to fix them. Before the revolution were now 1,200 soldiers think we are more than 500. Many went home," he admitted. In private, the military loyal to the popular uprising recognize that lack the ability to advance on Tripoli and Sirte, the two main bastions of Gaddafi.

"Our goal is to defend Shahat and Baida, we can not do anything else. We have 12 tanks deployed around the city. They may have planes but we have the support of God," said Mula commander Abdel Salem. The tanks are merely speaking Mula armored vehicles with the dilapidated shell, if not partially torn off, offering a deplorable appearance.

They are collecting ammunition the soldiers are scattered on the asphalt Shahat. Bombs dropped and missiles together with mud piled under a steady rain. The members of this army reject poor but the direct intervention of any foreign force. "We do not accept troops in Libyan territory. Only a no-fly zone," said Colonel Sheji Faraj.
