Sirte, before/after photos

[Cinque Mtume]

All you can say about these pics is that Qaddafi loyalists put up one hell of a fight in Sirte. The rebels nafta beey ka keeneen.

It's not the Libyans that did that it was NATO
Dumb dhabacyo

I didn't know jets left bullet holes.

The damage in Sirte is reminiscent of Mogadishu, not Beirut or Baghdad. Even the aftermath of the 1980s Beirut conflict is nothing like the aftermath of the 2006 Israel war. Maybe NATO bombed parts of Sirte, likely even, but the photos you see looks like damage done by urban guerrilla warfare.

Look up photos of the 2006 Beirut aftermath, when buildings were being bombed, the debris would cover streets like a blizzard - making them impassable, they wouldn't leave a few scraps like you see in Sirte.

Beirut 2006, if can't see the difference between this and Sirte you are stupid.

Paidmonk,

I saw this ragtag outfit on Aljazeera. They were just launching rockets thinking the more buildings You knock down the closer You are to capturing the city.

Man these Libyans fucked things up, I thought Caydiid's militias were bad. Holy shit.

BEFORE




AFTER

Thanks for these photos.. I'll saved it. Its evidence that Somalis are not 'that' barbaric and are rather sensitive to the environment since Xamaar's been a war zone for over 20 years yet its no more near as bad as the above 'after' photo!
