Libyan rebels from the Nafusa Mountains on Saturday (August 6th) captured a strategic town on the path to the Tripoli, AFP reported. Opposition forces got within 20 kilometers of Surman, on the coastal road west of the capital, while other fighters claimed control of Bir Ghanam.
In related news, the rebel government flew 14 million Libyan dinars (about 8 million euros) "to be distributed directly to families throughout the Nafusa Mountains during the holy month of Ramadan", the TNC said in a statement. "It's the first step of our plan to kick-start the economy and bring back stability to the region," AFP quoted TNC economic adviser Mazen Ramadan as saying.
