Today, Thursday October 20th, heavy fighting between the forces of the National Transitional Council (NTC) and fighters from the old regime, which was continuing this morning in the town of Sirte may end in the coming hours following the announcement of the death of Muammar Gaddafi.
When security conditions will be sufficiently stable, the TSF team, deployed on the front line since October 15th, is set to establish one or several telecom center(s) in Sirte, which will be open to all the humanitarian organizations intervening in the area.


In this context, the establishment of means of communication by TSF is indispensable. Reliable communications facilitate relief operations, save lives, and increase the security of local populations and of those who help them. More than ever, despite serious concerns about security conditions in this region of Libya, humanitarian efforts must continue for civilians who are the first victims of the combats. TSF’s role will be crucial.
