Libya: Jamahirya Fish Market Tripoli 01 02 11 سوق السمك طرابلس

My first attempt to Vlog.
The idea is a daily post of a short video on YouTube made with the iPhone and linked to my site and vice versa of my photo trip in Libya. I've never edited or filmed before and I will learn from my mistakes as I go along, (hopefully). This vlog is not about outstanding video making on my part. My main objective is to show you the every day life of the Libyan people in short videos including sounds and noises. On a more personal level it shows a little of me as the solo traveler I have been for years now and some of how my rather unplanned trip materializes or falls apart.
Cheerio!

Libya |Lack of employment doubles fish prices in Benghazi

The prices of local fish in the Libyan markets in general and the markets of Benghazi in particular have increased significantly for several months, due to the lack of Egyptian labor, which covered the sector's need for foreign workers in the past. Fishermen in the fishing sector said that the high prices of fish in the country is normal in light of the lack of daily fishing quantities due to lack of labor, and the loss of boats for maintenance, in addition to the high prices of fishing supplies from engines and fishing nets and others.

STORYLINE
Many Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa were out shopping for essential supplies on Tuesday as preparations for the month-long fast of Ramadan gathered pace.
During the religious period, Muslims are expected to abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex during daylight hours to focus instead on spirituality, good deeds and charity.
Observant Muslims often then have large meals to break the fast, with special foods and sweets.
In Libya, many Muslims packed into the busy Dahra market in Tripoli to buy foods for the end of their dusk-till-dawn fast.
Men and women could be seen carefully selecting spices and confectionary from colourful food stalls amidst the crush of customers.
Meanwhile in Iraq, authorities intensified security measures on Tuesday - the eve of the holy month - as Muslims flocked to the main markets of Baghdad to stock up.
I come here to shop for various kinds of commodities, said Um Jassim, a shopper at Baghdad's oldest and largest market, Shorja.
I hope that security will prevail all over the country, she added.
The start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon - and varies geographically.

Misrata fish market gives Libyans taste of the sea

(22 Jan 2020) LEAD IN:
A fish market in the coastal Libyan city of Misrata opens up a sea of possibilities for the public's growing seafood appetite.

STORY-LINE:
Despite pressing against the sea on a shoreline stretching for around 45 kilometres, Misrata had offered few seafood options to its residents in the past.
Seafood had largely been out reach for most Libyans living there until a fish market opened its doors to people in 2017.
The bustling market located in the central Qasr Ahmed area is bringing Libyans in the coastal city, an ensemble of fish varieties at affordable prices.
After authorities in the city decided to halt exports of fish, the local market was stocked with larger quantities pushing prices down.
In the past, fish was mainly consumed by people working in the fishing industry and people who live by the sea, says fish vendor Sami Moftah.
But since the market opened and prices were pushed down, more people started to incorporate seafood into their diet.
A large percentage of people in Misrata city have learned the nutritional value of fish and the types that we fish in our waters, Moftah adds.
The fish market has played a major role in increasing people's appetite for fish, according to Moftah.
It also gives people an alternative to meat since prices of the latter have recently skyrocketed.
And people are starting to get used to having seafood meals more frequently.
I cannot say that it is one of those things that we are completely used to, or that we eat on a daily basis, but almost weekly or once a month, I buy fish, says Misrata resident Ahmed Ibrahim.
On 24 April 2017, the Minister of Economy and Industry of the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli, Nasser Al-Derassi, declared a ban on all kinds of fish exports.
The decision was made to protect Libyan marine resources from depletion and to address the high prices of fish in the Libyan market.
The Libyan coast is the longest African coast on the Mediterranean Sea and due to the warmth of its waters, it has hundreds of species of Mediterranean fish, as well as migrating Atlantic Ocean fish.
And the reduced prices at the fish market are bringing more of the taste of the sea to dinner tables in Misrata.
