Lybian infantrymen marching by feet in the desert, like the other national Italian troops. Actually Lybian people from Tripolitania and Cirenaica were not colonial troops but national one, being given the citizenship in 1937. In fact the troops born there wears the "stellette", symbol of every soldier owing Italian citizenship. Even Gheddafi was an "Italian citizen", being born in Misurata in 1942. And very probably - fact he tried to hid in all his life - he was son a zaptiè (colonial carabiniere). DVX
