Cappuccino rebels v king of Africa



-snip-

Libyan rebels coming from backgrounds as diverse as sheep herders to urbanized post-graduates fire their internal pistons stopping at roadside espresso and cappuccino stalls and their backers shuttle bottled water and boxes of dates to the front to keep them going as they await the arrival of more ammunition being trucked in from Benghazi.

-long snip-

For all the rebels' excitement and optimism even in light of serious casualties, there is a very hard road ahead wedged in between the Mediterranean's pounding surf and the desert's blinding sandstorms, with pro-government soldiers and tank regiments backed by fighter jets awaiting them on the other side of tomorrow.

---------------------------------------

wishing them well

sending Stamina and hugs and kisses
