Remains of the Italian Occupation
of Libya during the first half of the twentieth century, barbed wire
strung by the Italian forces
to stop Libyan Resistance fighters (under the leadership of Omar Mukhtar)
from movement along the
Libyan-Egyptian Border. Pictures taken at Jaghbub (Giagbub Jagbub) in 2009.
It is a constant reminder
of our grandparents who died while attempting to cross the border,
and those that died in the
concentration camps at Al Agheila, Marsa Brega, Kufra, Qurdabiya
and the Jebel Akhdar to
name just a few locations.
