Exodus to leave Libya
On Libya’s western border with Tunisia, thousands passed the checkpoints in a matter of hours, weighed down with as many of their belongings as they could carry.
One witness said Libyan police deliberately picked on Tunisians and Egyptians after successful revolutions there set a precedent for the anti-Gaddafi uprising.
One Tunisian man who made it onto home soil said: “The situation is bad. People died. They killed them. They took their money.”
It is estimated up to 80,000 ex-pat Tunisians live and work in Libya.
