notizia flash dal corriere:

Libia: «islamici» conquistano aeroporto Tripoli

non dicono altro però...
 
ecco notizie più fresche:

Tripoli (AFP) - Islamist fighters in the Fajr Libya (Libyan Dawn) coalition said on Saturday they have captured Tripoli airport after 10 days of clashes with nationalist militiamen.

A statement shown on screen on An-Nabaa television, regarded as close to the Islamists, said: "Fajr Libya announces that it totally controls Tripoli international airport."

The strategic site 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of the Libyan capital, has been shut since July 13 amid skirmishes between the Islamists and nationalist fighters from Zintan west of Tripoli, who had held the airport since the 2011 fall of long-time dictator Moamer Kadhafi.

Forces from Libyan city of Misrata say they seized Tripoli airport

TRIPOLI/BENGHAZI Libya Sat Aug 23, 2014 8:42pm BST

(Reuters) - Forces from the Libyan city of Misrata on Saturday seized Tripoli's main airport after more than a month of fighting with a rival group, a Misrata spokesman said.

Pictures on social media purportedly showed Misrata fighters celebrating at the terminal building in what, if confirmed, would be a big development in the battle to control the capital.

War planes had earlier struck Misrata positions in Tripoli in an attack claimed by renegade general Khalifa Haftar. The raids had killed 10 people and wounded dozens, the Misrata faction said.

The fighting is the worst since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011..

In the NATO-backed campaign to oust Gaddafi, fighters from the western region of Zintan and Misrata, east of Tripoli, were comrades-in-arms. But they later fell out and this year have turned parts of Tripoli into a battlefield.

Haftar launched a campaign against Islamists in the eastern city of Benghazi in May and threw his weight behind the Zintan fighters.

On Saturday's fighting, residents heard explosions early in the morning near the airport, where the two groups have been fighting for control for more than a month.

Local television channel al-Nabaa said planes had attacked four Misrata positions. A Misrata spokesman said the planes had come from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, two countries which have cracked down on Islamists.

But Haftar's air defence commander, Sager al-Jouroushi, told Reuters that his forces were responsible for the attack. Haftar's forces also claimed responsibility for air raids on Misrata positions in Tripoli on Monday.

Western countries and Egypt, worried about Libya becoming a failed state and safe haven for Islamist militants, have denied any involvement. The Libyan ngovernment has said it does not know who is responsible for the air attacks.

FLIGHTS

Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani called on Egypt and Tunisia to open their airspace again for flights to western Libya. Both countries had cancelled most flights to Libya for security reasons after the air strikes, cutting off a vital link to the outside for Libyans and foreigners fleeing fighting.

Libya has used the small Matiga airport in Tripoli for civilian traffic since the main airport was turned into a battlefield last month. The tower, runway and at least 20 aircraft have been damaged, officials have said.

When flying into Matiga, passengers can sometimes see smoke rising from battles in and around the main airport.

The violence has prompted the United Nations and foreign embassies in Libya to evacuate their staff and citizens, and foreign airlines largely stopped flying to Libya.

Tripoli has largely slipped out of control of the government, with senior officials working from Tobruk in the east, where the new parliament has based itself to escape the violence in Tripoli and Benghazi.

Libya's central government lacks a functioning national army and relies on militia for public security. But while these get state salaries and wear uniforms, they report in practice to their own commanders and towns.

Mi sa che avevano ragione quelli che anticipavano una riduzione di capacita' verso la Libia con jet biposto nei prossimi giorni.

In compenso i tempi di viaggio si dimezzeranno perche' il servizio sara' svolto da mezzi che volano a velocita' supersonica...

P.S. senza ironia, che tristezza vedere la Libia ridotta cosi... :(
 
Morocco Suspends Libya Flights

February 16, 2015

Morocco has suspended all flights between Moroccan cities and Libya and closed its airspace to Libyan aircraft because of security concerns.
Royal Air Maroc had already suspended flights to Libya in July when Libyan factions started to fight over control of Tripoli airport. But some Libyan carriers were still operating between the two countries.
The government statement did not specify the security concerns in Libya, where Egyptian jets bombed Islamic State positions on Monday, a day after the group there released a video showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians.
"The temporary suspension was dictated by the nonconformity of the flights departing from Libyan airports to the international standards" a statement from the Interior and Transport ministries said.
Morocco has also decided to close its airspace to all Libyan planes, it added.

questo articolo riporta alcune cose interessanti:

Nel casino generale che c'e' in Libia (con, mi sembra, almeno tre principali fronti contrapposti, di cui fatto dall'ISIS, piu' alcune faide minori), si sentono anche storie che non mi aspettavo. Per esempio, al momento del bombardamento dell'aeroporto di Zintan, a quanto pare c'era un aereo civile che stava imbarcando i passeggeri. Sinceramente, in mezzo a questo casino che c'e' in Libia, non posso capacitarmi che ci siano ancora aerei civili che ci volino (e mi chiedo quali compagnie e quali piloti e assistenti di volo accettino di volare con questi rischi)...

L'altra cosa che ci si chiede e' come facciano queste persone a rimettere in sesto complessi caccia militari ed elicotteri. Capisco che la Operation Dignity abbia il sostegno dell'Egitto e quindi sono i loro militari che hanno aiutato a sistemare aerei ed elicotteri. Ma le milizie islamiste moderate non credevo fossero in grado di fare manutenzione e rimettere in volo macchine complessissime come i moderni caccia.
 
ma infatti bisogna capire se è Isis o fazioni che si combatto dal post-gheddafi...chi di loro ha accesso a queste cose?
