Libya wants freedom by ode2libya
Since there aren't any expats left in Libya i assume it would not be too taxing to say something total irrelevant to expat life in Libya...all you guys that have been living in Libya and got to know the country and its people and I'm not talking ...
Umm... Douglas... did you miss the bit about Mancunian actually being Libyan? Meant in the nicest possible way... it's all very well to tell people what your opinion is, but surely it's a bit ridiculous to tell a person who is actually Libyan what ... Read More

Letters from NOC by waqas
hi I have heard that NOC is trying to issue letters to expats to come back to work. But the biggest question is: how they are going to reach all expats when all sorts of communications are down.... and even the letters reach people, how on the earth ...
Cheers lovely. I'm absolutely gutted. My entire life was in that apartment, and knowing i've lost everything is just soul destroying. To be blunt, Waha was the first job where I could actually buy myself stuff without worrying about whether I ... Read More

Libyan Officials at Airport and Other places like Check point (legal and illegal) check points created by "pro" and all border posts on Libya are robbing the passengers. 1st they can't carry all luggage, Only 5KG is allowed (in case of most of ...
