Well, go back home if it makes you feel any safer.聽 why bother staying in place when you don't feel comfortable and secure. this what i would do if I were you.

1- ALL women should carry guns. In November 1996 a 20 year old Qaddafi (the clan) girl shot and killed a 22 year old Hesnawi (another clan) man in Sebha University because he was "annoying" her. In 1992 a Megrahi girl in Sebha shot three police officers killing two of them and chased away around 10 others in four police cars from the roof of her house, because they tried to break into the house to arrest her theiving brother. Some sort of anti-aircraft/machine gun was mounted on their roof.

2- I heared that during ramadan, some of our people lock their offices and drift off. I was told that you could hear them snore for hours and wake up only 10 minutes before they leave. aint that cute?

3- What in the world is a "stub wound"??!!

Mugging, stealing or what ever crime is got nothing to do with Ramadan. don't mix things up. for your information, Ramadan is a holly month where Muslim around the world fast the entire month for approx 12 hours daily throughout the whole month. So there isn't really much of spending going on.
We do feel sorry that...blah blah blah

I feel perfectly safe thanks, I'm more than culpable for looking after myself.

FWIW I don't think Tripoli is any more dangerous than most western cities (in terms of crime, not traffic accidents). But the original point of the thread was to alert Expat women that they were being targeted by a small group of cowardly men. Saying it's less likely to happen聽 here than country A ,B or C is not helping if you happen to be living in Tripoli.

Thank you for the info! Well, I personally believe that the imminent threat to a human is a human.. So never let your guards down, whether your home or abroad..Statistics are there for a reason! Every country has a number..! In libya, it may be less or more but there is one number for sure, isn't it

My male friend was stolen of his mobile at the point of a knife when he went to take a walk in the garden. He said that guy looked like any average college going kid! When knife is involved,its shit scary. Hence i don't wear any valuables when I leave my home. The point is when you are in a foreign land, you get noticed soon because you look different from the rest- feature wise or clothwise ..Hence picking on you gets easier. It is easier to trace your track, your lifestyle! These events can even lead upto a preplanned attack.

I'll be more aware from now on, may be leave the house without a bag

if attack is inflicted on me, ill show them what my "Bruce Lee" pose is all about

Jokes apart, stay safe ladies and... gents too!

If I were you, I would take these rose tinted glasses back to the shop you had bought them from and ask them to exchange them for a pinch of common sense.
People on this forum are exchanging experiences of thier daily life in Libya and giving advice to those that ask for it. Nobody is attacking Libya or Libyans by doing this.
Pointing to what is wrong should be viewed as an opportunity to correct it.

Just use common sense, don't go randomly walking around areas, some are rougher than others. Don't walk around alone, don't wear alluring clothing on the street. Unlike western countries people notice that and reactions range from annoyance to arousal. I'll tell you this, our crime rate as far as percentages are concerned is ridiculously low compared to the rest of the world. This whole knife thieving thing is quite a modern phenomenon that occurred in the last 20 years. The very fact that people are more overtly religious and more attached to families than in western countries contributes to the safety. You must be a cock or have been walking around in the wrong places to get into any sort of trouble.

1. Don't blame for the victim for making a crime happen.
2. Walking on Gargarish is hardly 'a wrong place' is one of the main shopping areas in town FFS.

"Unlike western countries people notice that and reactions range from annoyance to arousal"? So, I get it..you lack self control..No wonder the women here cover up ..If I see a man, wearing transparent Jubba, i should get aroused and harass him...isnt it!?!! Thats make me right and him wrong..Where do you get such stuff..Ahh, i get it..coz you are such a sorry a*** ..Blaming victims is what cowards do! Stand up and fight the crime..Make your country better if not the best!

And, btw libyan are not africans..I agree...To be precise, they are north african ...Check emirates booking, Libya is mentioned under Africa..Dont ditch the african tag, else you will be left with none!

I half agree with you Muddy... idiots like aha/abduElkesh/etc are nothing more than locals with chips on their shoulders the size of Egypt.

But, on the other hand, this is a site BY EXPATS, FOR EXPATS. Ok, let's have a laugh, a piss-take and a crack, but the hate that this idiot continues to spout is just plain nasty and has no place in the public domain.

eh guys thought u r more stupid funny entertaining than this

I get u r here to share ur experience maybe u should take walk in hadba or bosleam to have real good experience

I don聮t agree with all the posts in here was it by naive Libyans or stupid expat and some said they are Libyan..pity wallah..

Trolls hatred jealousy envy call it what ever u want but I didn聮t mention any one in anyway,i was just replying on ur posts not on u and I wouldnt see some one mention my religion and Libya in any way bad was it or good and just sit back like some kiss a$$ Libyans n here do( that聮s another category of kiss a$$ ppl)..

Mudman thought u stand up for things not ignore! Maybe u r right u all should agree, ignore and join him in his mud pool with his pig

Detective Columbo BLEH thought u more into mbc action not melody tone..just another Butthead who dont know where they belong Striker..

One thing I thought some of u in here more open minded and understating the nature of the country where they live聟but apparently just pathetic acting smart and sure way to shallow

聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟聟

The gesture of this topic was good to alert the expats women in Libya hope they will be safe
