Communities band together to reopen schools damaged in the Libyan conflict

AJDABIYA, Libya, 17 October 2011 – Burnt out tanks, armoured cars and spent ammunition shells line the road between Benghazi and Ajdabiya, an apocalyptic landscape left by the battles that took place here only weeks ago. After residents of Ajdabiya fled the conflict, the military occupied the town’s abandoned schools, which, in turn, made them prime targets for attack.
