BENGHAZI - The state has totally lost its authority and daily life is carried out under the supervision of opposition forces and civilians in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
According to the impressions of the AA reporter in Libya, civil servants left Benghazi and the National Council took over control of the public buildings in the country’s second biggest city after the recent clashes.
Communication services in the city are conducted by opposition forces, while entry into the city is controlled by opponents that hold tanks and heavy weapons in their hands, and general public order is maintained by armed civilians, AA reporter said.
Hospitals are still open, however, education at schools has been halted in Benghazi where young Libyans are getting military training at an old military post in order to fight in the clashes near Benghazi and capital Tripoli, AA correspondent added.
Residents of the city do not have any problems regarding foodstuff, water or fuel, as donations of volunteers are distributed under the National Council’s coordination, it was reported.
Anti-Gaddafi demonstrations continue both in daylight and in evening hours in Benghazi, while citizens refrain from wandering around the streets at night time due to the lack of authority in the city, AA reporter also noted.
