On the morning of the 10th July 2011, a convoy of journalists set off from the Rixos hotel in Tripoli to the Gharyan area that lies in the Western Mountains.
The journalists got a chance to witness the normality in life in that area which is close to the rebel front line in the Western Mountains, in a solid show of defiance of support for Colonel Muammer Al-Gadaffi and to dis-spell any rumors that area is likely to fall into the hands of the rebels any time soon.
