Bangladeshis living in Tripoli are safe and staying in their homes as rebels were fighting their last battle against pro-Gaddafi forces to take over the Libyan capital, Bangladesh ambassador to Libya Nur Uz Zaman told the news agency Monday afternoon.
'Situation looks murky…we're hearing gunshots and bombings. It sounds like last minute resistance by pro-Gaddafi forces to protect the capital,' he said phone at 4:30pm (BST).
Asked about the evacuation of foreign diplomats in Tripoli, Zaman said the Libyan foreign ministry on Sunday asked them not to go outside but did not speak about any evacuation.
About the condition of remaining Bangladeshis in Tripoli, the ambassador said the embassy had been advising the Bangladeshi nationals over phone to stay in their homes. They are safe and secure,' he said.
Zaman said the road from Tripoli to Tunisia
for civilians' evacuation has been closed
since rebels are
entering Tripoli through that route.
Two embassy staffs are working round-the-clock at the embassy control room and giving necessary advices to the Bangladeshi nationals.
