Photographer Lorenzo Tugnoli and I were following a band of militiamen fighting for the government.

2
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:13.260
Opposing forces were just 300 to 500 meters from the front line.

00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:14.940
<i>Was that a mortar? Was that a mortar?</i>

4
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:15.860
<i>Yeah.</i>

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:19.040
Commander Yusuf Bil Amin was struggling to give orders

6
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.710
when Hifter’s forces began attacking with mortars.

7
00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:25.360
More uncontrollable and unpredictable than bullets,

8
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:30.090
the mortars pushed the commander to send us back.
