TRIPOLI - Three thousand camels have been walked out of Libya’s capital Tripoli in an overnight evacuation after the port where they arrived came under artillery fire.
The camels left Tripoli’s port shortly after midnight on Wednesday, and were herded along a highway leading west to the city of Zawiya, some 45 km (30 miles) away, where they arrived on Thursday morning, according to a local merchant.
A Reuters reporter saw about 20 camel herders whipping the camels into line as they left central Tripoli, with some camels trying to search for food along the side of the road. Security forces temporarily closed the road to let them pass.
Tripoli’s port, which is close to the city center, was shelled on Tuesday by forces loyal to east Libya-based commander Khalifa Haftar, who has been waging an offensive to take Tripoli for more than 10 months.

Evacuating the camels
before they get smoked.
They were there for the Libyan production of The Batchelor. This is heart breaking. Now we may never know which camel gets the rose.
Irony is if you use camels long enough you won’t be able to walk a mile.
No sex for a while for the Libyan men........
LOL!.................
Well played sir!
This is all Hilliary and Obasturd’s fault.
Had they left Libya alone, Kahdaffi still alive, there would not be a civil war there now.
And the blame Trump for ‘destabilizing’ the Middle East...............................

Do you know how to ‘brick’ a camel?
Well, when he gets to the oasis and bends over to take a drink, sneak up behind him with a brick in each hand and when he takes the first gulp.....
Well, the rest is quite obvious and he will take on an extra gulp or two to prepare for the journey ahead.
They had to save the harem.
Pray for the camels.
Everybody else over there? Allahu Akbar!
Was this on Wednesday?
Forget the people! Save the camels!
