Revolutionary writing occupies a room in a building downtown, the insurgents, after driving out supporters of Qaddafi, have converted into a media center for human rights. There is even a "local calligraphy" where young Libyans invent new signs every day insurgency then they reproduce by hand. The window overlooks the spot where, each afternoon, volunteers flocked from all Cyrenaica gather to gain courage before going into battle.
"The soldiers of the insurgency coming back from Tobruk to Derna and bring us mails sent by local correspondents, "says editor Ibrahim al-Azari. Most often, these headlines are just pieces of crumpled paper, pages torn from the rush of a school notebook, on which the first journalists free of Cyrenaica describe the state of standardization in their locality.
Their writing is sometimes awkward, for lack of practice or because of the emergency. They describe the preparations for new military units that will be sent to western countries, "the battle of Tripoli." They denounce the crimes of Gaddafi, exchange ideas on ways to hasten the victory and make their expectations for a new Libya.
The editors read the smallest piece of paper and identify what could be entered on the computer. "Often, the Internet does not work. And then, people do not always have a computer. We do not want to become the mouthpiece of the rich alone, "says one to the editor. "Do we need foreign intervention? Yes: that the West is closing the borders of Libya in African mercenaries Gaddafi.
There is still no 'no flight zone'. We do not want foreign soldiers here. " Al-Hadji Tadjoura reads what he has himself written on the leaf notebook in which he came to the editor. Who is he? How he learned about the newspaper? "I am a poet. Before the revolution, I was a civilian employee of Civil Defense in Benghazi.
My dad told me about the newspaper, "he says. Although he came to publish his hymns to the glory of Cyrenaica free writing immediately forgets his poems to discuss an appeal to Western countries to block access mercenaries. "We do not yet know if this idea is good. There are still no real political parties in Libya, no elections, so we must give voice to all.
We must talk, discuss, "explain press. The newspaper called Revolution of February 17, in memory of the first demonstrations against the regime in Benghazi. It seems every night and is distributed free in a few blocks from downtown. Over sixty volunteers working there. Fourteen pages are printed in color, for free, thanks to the head of a private publishing company in Benghazi.
Part of the draw, which has between three and four thousand copies, is distributed in other cities of Cyrenaica. It can also be read online, but on condition that hackers plan does not block access, as has already happened. Insurgents have managed to send in Tripoli, satellite phone, some phone numbers to reach them in Benghazi [for people to contact the editor].
Someone has printed in the greatest secrecy on leaflets dropped it in the streets. "The next day, Gaddafi railed against our newspaper to state television. He is furious because we show that these are free and fair people who begin to speak, not Al-Qaeda, the Islamic fascists and robbers, as he says to scare the outside world, "said the One of the leaders of the insurgency, Manafi Mohamad, who is also the one who had the idea of \u200b\u200bfounding a newspaper.
The only journalistic experience of the authors of the Revolution was in the February 17 edition of a newspaper university where they were allowed to talk about student life, without mentioning politics. "At least we learned how to make cuts in text. This is useful too, "they tell, red pen in hand, trying to locate information in the mails which are then captured on the computer.
Then came the correction and re-entry. Among those who care for them, a girl of 19, a transparent veil over her face. In addition, two volunteers of Alexandria, more comfortable with computer programs for editing, preparing to translate the texts into English. "Here we have everything we need.
Islamist activists, liberals, leftists. No one wants to Gaddafi, "said Manafi. Another group of students from the University of Benghazi has also founded the Free Radio Libya, first broadcast on line, then more conventionally on the airwaves. In the city of Adjabiyah, much smaller than Benghazi, the insurgents seized the military communications equipment and emit now in the downtown news on the progress of the fighting against Gaddafi.
The first journalists freed from the dictator's censorship would they be willing to accept on-air supporters of Qaddafi? "Not long ago, an old woman came under our windows, she swore by him. We called people from the radio so she could talk at leisure. They accepted, perhaps because of his age.
And it was also a victory for free speech, "they say in the drafting of the Revolution on February 17.
