Main Libyan port back in business

2011-09-19 1 Dailymotion

It's back to business as usual at Tripoli's port.<br/> A site of heavy fighting during Libya's civil war, the docks are now operating at close to capacity.<br/> That's a welcome development for residents of Tripoli, who for months faced shortages of food, fuel and other essentials.<br/> Four months ago this was what the port looked like.<br/> NATO warplanes attacked several Libyan warships moored here in an attempt to choke off the supply of oil to regime of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi.<br/> The port's re-opening is another sign that life here is returning to normal - three weeks after Gaddafi was driven from power.<br/> Libya's interim government is still waging a war against some tribes loyal to the former leader.<br/> But port authorities say the site is "totally secure".<br/> Andrew Raven, Reuters
