Green and white caps and uniforms jobs, these students recited speeches made by their teachers in Arabic, French and English with a spotlight.

The manifestations of the Libyan government supporters are reduced to the Green Square and large crowds are rather to buy bread and food or to fill the tanks of vehicles, in anticipation that the rebels reached the gates of the capital.
