Our fear is that Libya falls into the hands of Salafist terrorists and that the state becomes like Somalia, Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou PARIS, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Libya risks becoming a failed state like Somalia, Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou said on Friday, a day after gunmen shot dead an American teacher in the eastern city of Benghazi.. Niger, which adjoins Libya to the south and has fought Islamists at home, wants to reinforce military ties with Western partners and neighbouring states as al Qaeda-linked militants regroup in southern Libya after French-led forces ousted them from Mali this year.. Our fear is that Libya falls into the hands of Salafist terrorists and that the state becomes like Somalia, Issoufou told reporters ahead of a Franco-African summit in Paris.. Sadly, were seeing that the terrorists are there and that armed Salafist militia are in Benghazi, with people being killed almost every day. We must stabilise Libya..

XU JINGJING: Is political bargaining behind the impasse? In your analysis, how will the countries allot obligations in the war and the interests after the war?. NAZEMROAYA: The British have outlined a scheme where the Arab members of this coalition against Libya will send their troops into Libya or finance a massive army of foreign mercenaries. A partially privatized ground invasion of Libya will take place. In this regard, the British want Arab countries like Qatar and the UAE to finance British and US mercenaries in Libya. Like the British did in Oman many years ago, London is even going to allow members of the British military to temporarily leave their positions to work or fight in Libya as mercenaries. This is why the US was against including in UN Resolution 1970 any article permitting the legal persecution of foreign mercenaries that are not parties to the International Criminal Court.. While the US has been responsible for leading the attack on Libya, it will be the Western Europeans who ...

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - The commander of forces fighting the U.N.-supported government in Libya visited Athens Friday in a bid to counter Turkeys support for his opponents, ahead of a weekend summit on Libya in Berlin. Gen. Khalifa Hifters surprise trip to Greece came two days before the Berlin summit, which aims to halt the conflict in oil-rich Libya that is being fueled by competing international support for the warring sides.. Separately, the Kremlin announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be attending the meeting in Germany. Turkey, which has promised to send troops to back Libyas government against Hifters offensive, is at odds with Greece over oil-and-gas drilling rights in the East Mediterranean. In November, Turkey and the Libyan government in Tripoli signed a controversial maritime deal delineating a boundary between the two countries in the Mediterranean. Libya has been divided between two competing governments since 2015, one based in Benghazi in the east and the other ...

RIA Novosti. 03:39 09/08/2012 MOSCOW, August 9 (RIA Novosti) - Libyas National Transitional Council (NTC) has handed over power in the country to a newly elected congress in a symbolic ceremony marking the first peaceful transition of power in Libya in more than 40 years, international media reported on Thursday.. National Transitional Council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil handed over the reins to the oldest member of the 200-seat General National Congress in a ceremony held in Tripoli late on Wednesday.. The congress was elected in July, some nine months after the overthrow of Libyas long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011.. The assembly is expected to begin its work in a week. It will be tasked with drafting the countrys new constitution and choosing a new interim government to take over from the NTC.. The July vote was the first free election in Libya in decades. Gaddafi, who came to power in 1969 as a result of a military coup, has ruled Libya with an iron fist for 42 years until a ...

Today, Libya is a highly unstable country with multiple ruling cliques. At least three ruling entities are fighting over territory, and many smaller militias are making and changing alliances while striving for power. The US Embassy in Libya closed in 2014 - it is located now in Tunisia.. The Libyan Request stated that there were immediate threats to its sites, monuments, and cultural heritage. However, Libyas commitment to protecting monuments is contradicted by statements of Libyan government officials. In fact, the Libyan government has denied the necessity for protections to monuments damaged by graffiti and threatened by military actions.. On June 11, 2017, Libyas General Tourism Authority (GTA) criticized the decision of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to place five archaeological sites in Libya on the endangered world heritage list. The statement alleged that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee placed the sites on the list without any regulatory, legal or logical actions. The GTA ...

In Libya the civil war, in which a significant role belongs to external players, is continuing. It has long been known that one of the main sponsors of radical Libyan groups is Qatar which supports the coalition Dawn of Libya. However, in recent days has come information on a new split in the Dawn of Libya coalition. So, according to mass media reports, rebels from Misurata which made up the backbone of the Islamist coalition were wavering. Understanding that the Misurata ones can waver and go on to negotiations with the new government, the Qataris began to additionally strengthen an alternative force in the agency of the Libyan Islamic State, which is now expanding its presence near Sirt. Also, according to available data, Libyan IS is actively intercepting control over the transit of drugs through Libya and the flow of illegal migrants to the EU, thereby trying to strengthen its financial base directly within the territory of Libya.. Support SouthFront ...

The Berlin summit failed to put pressure on states intervening in Libya. Instead, it risks to further internationalise the conflict.. Many had hoped - perhaps more out of despair than anything else - that the 19 January 2020 Berlin Summit would be an inflection point in Libyas trajectory. However, the meeting laid bare the extent to which a collective genuine commitment towards stabilising the war-torn North African country is elusive.. Gathered at a long-planned Summit in Berlin on said date, world leaders triumphantly announced that they had all agreed to sign a 55-point communiqué in which they pledged to end foreign interference, respect the arms embargo and work towards a permanent ceasefire in Libya. The conference featured a limited Libyan presence, with only the Government of National Accords Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj and the head of Libyas Arab Armed Forces, Khalifa Haftar formally invited as attendees, but not partaking in the talks.. Deliberately planned as a forum that would ...

1. The document begins on a comical note, claiming that In his address to the nation on Libya on March 28, 2011, President Obama presented a comprehensive explanation for why he authorized military action in Libya. Recall that this address came nine days after he began taking out Libyan air defenses and command and control nodes with Tomahawks (TLAMs) and Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) sorties - as well as the fact that theres been nothing clear or comprehensive about Obamas few mentions of Libya and the U.S. war there.. 2. Again, as we all know, the specific purpose of our activity in Libya has still not been made clear to the American public. Is it to remove Qaddafi (an aim that is conspicuously absent from the UN resolution itself)? Is it to protect civilians? If the latter, as Ive written many times here, then conducting an air-only offensive is a terrible way of going about it. Multiple episodes of civilian deaths by coalition ordnance in Libya have only reinforced the ...

June 13, 2011. 10 QUESTIONS ABOUT LIBYA. (Ottawa) Canadas involvement in Libya raises important issues which deserve serious consideration. The following questions were put forward by experts and Rideau Institute senior advisors in preparation for this weeks parliamentary debate on the issue.. THE GOVERNMENTS OBJECTIVES. 1. What precisely are our objectives in Libya and how do we define success?. 2. The Speech from the Throne stated that the government would pursue a foreign policy that advances Canadas interests. How are Canadas national interests being advanced through this military mission?. 3. What conditions will determine whether Canada will extend its Libya mission a second time, when this authorization expires in the fall of 2011?. MILITARY OPERATIONS AND ALTERNATIVES. 4. What alternatives are being considered if the airstrikes are not successful?. 5. Are Canadian special forces operating in Libya, and under what conditions would the government consider deploying regular troops to ...

TOP URGENT. Turkey continues to smuggle weapons and money to terrorist mercenaries in Libya via Tunisia. This is a continuing problem, causing death and destruction in Libya. Turkey loads the ship in Turkey and sometimes they fly weapons out of Ankara. These ships are camouflaged as ships from other countries. They have previously used Iran and are currently using one marked from the Netherlands. On the ship, they have disguised the weapons in containers marked Red Cross. They use the Tunisian port of Zarzis, near the Libyan border. This is an exact repeat of the dirty game that was played by NATO et.al. in 2011.. Second breaking story: THERE WAS NO WATER SHUT OFF TO TRIPOLI (see UN report below). This comes directly from the people on the ground in Libya. The story is propaganda being put out by the terrorist militias. They are losing their criminal hold on Libya and are playing dirty games as usual. Expect more of their lies in the days to come as they get more and more desperate.. The UN ...

Libyas Government of National Unity - What Questions will Determine Success? By Robert Uniacke. In a single year, Libya has progressed from open conflict on the brink of international escalation to its first unified government in seven years. Born of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), overseen by the United Nations (UN) but driven by Libyans, the Government of National Unity (GNU) now takes the reins of a severely fragmented Libya. The governments central goal is to prepare the ground for national elections in December 2021. Significant achievements have already been made, and the mood is generally optimistic. But what questions will most likely influence the GNUs success in achieving this goal?. Armed groups. Despite relative calm on the ground since an October ceasefire, ubiquitous armed groups remain mobilized and willing to fight for their perceived interests. This dynamic raises a significant question mark over election plans. Libyas last elections in 2014 were marred by ...

Tuberculosis case detection rate reached 54.0 % in 2017 in Libya, according to World Bank / WHO. This is 20.0 % more than in the previous year. Historically, tuberculosis case detection rate in Libya reached an all time high of 91.0 % in 2005 and an all time low of 14.0 % in 1991. When compared to Libyas main peers, tuberculosis case detection rate in Algeria amounted to 80.0 %, 51.0 % in Chad, 63.0 % in Egypt and 80.0 % in Tunisia in 2017. Libya has been ranked 152nd within the group of 173 countries we follow in terms of tuberculosis case detection rate, 147 places behind the position seen 10 years ago. The tuberculosis case detection rate (all forms) is the proportion of newly notified tuberculosis cases (including relapses) to estimated incident cases (case detection, all forms).. ...

Human Rights Watch: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has failed to acknowledge dozens of civilian casualties from air strikes during its 2011 Libya campaign, and has not investigated possible unlawful attacks, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.. The 76-page report, Unacknowledged Deaths: Civilian Casualties in NATOs Air Campaign in Libya, examines in detail eight NATO air strikes in Libya that resulted in 72 civilian deaths, including 20 women and 24 children. It is based on one or more field investigations to each of the bombing sites during and after the conflict, including interviews with witnesses and local residents.. NATO took important steps to minimize civilian casualties during the Libya campaign, but information and investigations are needed to explain why 72 civilians died, said Fred Abrahams, special adviser at Human Rights Watch and principal author of the report. Attacks are allowed only on military targets, and serious questions remain in some ...

On Thursday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would lend support to the NATO-recognized Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), which is fighting the Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar, who is based in the east of the country.. In late November, Ankara and the Tripoli-based GNA signed two separate agreements, one on military cooperation and another on maritime boundaries of the countries in the eastern Mediterranean, with the aim of occupying the resources-reach Greek, Cypriot and Egyptian waters. Following the military deal, Erdogan stated that Turkey might consider sending troops to Libya if the GNA made such a request.. Since the NATO-backed ouster of Lybias late leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, two seats of power have emerged in Libya: one in eastern Libya supported mainly by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, and the GNA in the capital Tripoli, which enjoys NATO support and recognition.. Erdogans communications director has also stated that GNA has asked for Ankaras military ...

Arabic. Geneva, 12 October 2017. No UN High Commissioner for Human Rights ever managed to make an official visit to discuss the human rights situation in Libya during the time of Muammar Gaddafi or in the years following the end of his dictatorial regime. So even though the security situation meant I could not announce in advance my brief official mission to Libya on Tuesday, I was at least able to make the visit and hold a round of useful discussions with Prime Minister Fayez Serraj, the Ministers of Justice and Interior, and the Head of the Department responsible for managing migration detention centres. I was also able to pay brief visits to one of the countrys main prisons and a camp for displaced people. My trip was further informed by a very useful meeting with Libyan civil society and women human rights defenders.. I wish to thank the Prime Minister for inviting me to Libya, and for the hospitality I received while I was in Tripoli. I also appreciate the assistance provided by the ...

Muammar Gaddafi can live out his retirement in Libya if he surrenders all power, the countrys opposition leader has said.. Gaddafi is facing an international arrest warrant and has resisted all demands to step down, but members of his inner circle have indicated they are ready to negotiate with the rebels, including on the Libyan leaders future.. Mustafa Abdel Jalil, who heads the rebels national transitional council, told Reuters: As a peaceful solution we offered that he can resign and order his soldiers to withdraw from their barracks and positions, and then he can decide either to stay in Libya or abroad.. If he desires to stay in Libya, we will determine the place and it will be under international supervision. And there will be international supervision of all his movements.. Speaking in the rebels eastern Libyan stronghold of Benghazi, Jalil, who was formerly Gaddafis justice minister, said he made the proposal about a month ago through the UN but had yet to receive any response ...

Jan Kubis, head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), stressed that the submission of the audit report and financial audit to the Central Bank of Libya was an important and necessary step towards the unification of the Central Bank of Libya and the stabilization and prosperity of the Libyan people..

The UN envoy also stressed that this step promotes other paths, including the political path, and the Libyan parties to ensure the holding of elections on December 24.. Kubis also praised the efforts of the Joint Military Commission towards a complete ceasefire, stressing the importance of the withdrawal of all foreign troops, fighters and mercenaries from Libyan territory..

Daniel Horner. Updated on December 5, 2011. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is preparing to send inspectors to two previously undeclared sites in Libya, the organization said in a Nov. 4 press release.. The announcement came in the days after statements by Ian Martin, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moons special representative in Libya, and a subsequent press conference by officials of the new Libyan government announcing the existence of the sites, whose locations were not disclosed.. According to the Nov. 4 release, Libyan authorities on Nov. 1 advised the OPCW that further stocks of what are believed to be chemical weapons had been found. In his Nov. 28 opening statement to the week-long annual conference in The Hague of parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), OPCW Director-General Ahmet Üzümcü said his organization had received the formal declaration by the Libyan authorities updating the cataloguing of its chemical stockpiles that Libya had ...

21 June 2011 As the situation in Libya endures, the organisation and its members continue to deplore the suffering and loss of life this conflict imposes on the Libyan population. The Blue Shield reaffirms its initial statement of 14 March 2011 for the protection of the countrys invaluable cultural heritage amidst the existing turmoil. Reiterating its call on all parties to respect the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the Blue Shield warns of the potential risks for the countrys cultural heritage as the conflict escalates. Libya is a State party to the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention. Five sites in this vast country, stretching from the Prehistoric era to Islamic civilization and bearing witness to the rise and fall of sophisticated cultures, are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Three of these sites, Cyrene, Leptis Magna, and Sabratha, are evidence of the civilization that flourished in Libya during the Punic, ...

More than 2,000 migrants have died in 2017 attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Europe, making this migration route one of the deadliest in the world. In 2016, 5,143 migrants died or went missing in the Mediterranean sea. Migrants recount stories of sexual abuse, exploitation and extortion throughout their journey to Europe. Yet, despite the challenges, a total of 145,355 migrants and refugees arrived in Europe by sea between 1 January and 15 October 2017, the International Organization for Migration reported. The main migration route into Europe is currently between Libya and Italy. In an effort to curb down migration, EU leaders contributed $215 million in 2017 to Libyas Government of National Accord, the product of UN-brokered peace talks that were concluded in 2015. Around 18,477 migrants have been rescued or intercepted in Libyan waters so far this year. They are then detained in formal and informal detention centers operated by Libyas Department for Combatting Illegal Migration ...

Fighting for control of the western coastal city of Sirte, Libya, has increased the flight from the embattled North African state. Five years ago, the country was targeted for regime change by the CIA, Pentagon and NATO.. Sirte is the hometown of former leader Col. Muammar Gadhafi, who was assassinated while fleeing imperialist bombs in October 2011. Since 2015, the Islamic State group (IS) has controlled the city and other areas across the Mediterranean Seas western coast.. ISs presence in Libya accelerated after the U.S., Britain, France and Russia bombed their positions in Syria and Iraq. Forces loyal to the United Nations-imposed Government of National Accord have laid siege to the city to drive out IS.. Anti-war.com reported June 19 that GNA spokesman Reda Issa said the focus was to bolster positions outside Sirte and provoke ISIS fighters to come out of hiding. IS reportedly has 5,000 fighters in Libya, with many in Sirte. Given the unity governments forces mostly consist of ...

You know, I think the United States, almost by default, feels like it has to get involved, but you get the sense, being in a place like Tahrir Square, that the less involved they are, the better its going to be. I think there is - I think, you know, critics out there would see a level of cynicism on how this is unfolding, in terms of U.S. and Western intervention. I think its no coincidence that France and Italy, both with interests in the future of Libyas oil, were the first to recognize Libyas opposition government, along with Qatar. And I think theres - you know, critics are right to point out that we havent seen a uniform standard on how American and Western intervention plays across the region. We saw a much more forceful response in Libya compared to what weve seen in Yemen or Bahrain, Yemen and Bahrain obviously both being strategic allies to the United States and the West. It is - you know, American intervention has a pretty sad history in the Arab world, and you do wonder how ...

Kerry Nudges Obama Into North Africa - by MK Bhadrakumar. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MC19Ak04.html. ...In effect, NATO will constitute a coalition of the willing from among member countries. One salient outcome of the voting was that 4 of the BRICS member countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China - but not South Africa) abstained. The Indian stance was based on three points: that the resolution was not backed up by any report of the special representative of the UN Secretary General on Libya, and was being adopted while the African Union had yet to set up a panel to Libya - underlining that political efforts should have been exhausted first; There was relatively little credible information available on the Libya situation to back up the resolution; and there was no clarity about the actual operations authorized by 1973.... Egypts covert involvement carries much meaning. It highlights that the military junta in Cairo and the Obama administration are getting along famously ...

2-2021 Call for Contributions Management Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM Libya) - Deadline for Applications: Thursday 12 August 2021 at 17:00 hours (Brussels time)

GENEVA / TUNIS (16 NOVEMBER 2015) - Libya continues to be embroiled in political strife and deadly violence, with multiple armed conflicts affecting several regions, and contributing to a general breakdown of law and order, according to a new UN human rights report released Monday. All parties in Libya appear to be committing violations of international humanitarian law including those that may amount to war crimes as well as gross violations or abuses of international human rights law. The report lays bare in particular the abuses faced by vulnerable civilians such as internally displaced people, human rights defenders, migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.. The report, published jointly by the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and the UN Human Rights Office, documents the indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas, the abduction of civilians, torture and executions, as well as deliberate destruction of property among other serious abuses and violations of international law in various ...

Fashion trends and music styles of the 1980s have returned, as we knew they inevitably would. And so, too, have the villains of the 80s: Iran and Libya. While Iran has made headlines for several years now, Libya has only recently rejoined the ranks of Muslim countries to be feared, with two very high profile events in the past month or so: Colonel Qaddafis rambling, sometimes incoherent speech at the United Nations, and the release of the man convicted of bombing Pam Am 103, one of the most notorious acts of terror in memory.. These two events can be looked at quite differently. After being in power for forty years, not much can be done about Qaddafi other than to wait for change to come from within Libya. Despite his eccentricities, he remains immensely popular and his Pan-African, Pan-Arab rhetoric makes him a natural ally for other African and Middle Eastern leaders. And amidst his claims at the United Nations about JFK conspiracy theories and other nonsense, he made some critical remarks ...

Misrata, Libya) - The National Transitional Council (NTC) in Libya should promptly open an independent and impartial investigation with international participation into the deaths of the former leader Muammar Gaddafi and his son Muatassim Gaddafi, Human Rights Watch said today.. The NTC and other sources reported the deaths of both men in Sirte on October 20, 2011. It is unclear whether the men died from wounds received in combat or were killed in custody. However, information obtained by Human Rights Watch, as well as videos and photographs apparently taken that day showing both men alive in the custody of anti-Gaddafi forces, indicate that they might have been executed after being detained.. There is ample evidence to open a credible investigation into the deaths of Gaddafi and his son Muatassim, said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. Finding out how they died matters. It will set the tone for whether the new Libya will be ruled by law or by ...

Haftar, whose forces control oil-rich eastern Libya, said on television that he has decided to allow the reopening of the nations ports as per conditions and guarantees that ensure a fair distribution of wealth and spare it being plundered or used in terrorism financing. The announcement was the result of talks with Ahmed Maiteeq, deputy prime minister of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord.. Its unclear how much of the 1.1 million barrels a day Libya was pumping prior to the blockade could actually return to the market, or how quickly. Libyas National Oil Co. has previously denounced the secretive talks between Haftar and Maiteeq and has said it wont resume exports until foreign mercenaries leave the country - something thats not part of Fridays deal..

Two U.S. citizens have been freed from a prison in the United Arab Emirates following their acquittal this week on charges that they supported militants fighting in Libya, their family said Friday.. Kamal Eldarat, 59, was released late Thursday, according to his daughter, Amal Eldarat. His son, Mohamed, 34, was released Tuesday, she said.. The two men were detained for 21 months following a 2014 security sweep that rounded up almost a dozen Libyans and men of Libyan heritage living in the UAE.. Initially held incommunicado, the Eldarats went on trial in January on charges of supporting terrorists in Libya during the 2011 Arab Spring rebellion against dictator Moammar Gaddafi. The terrorism charges eventually were dropped, but they still faced charges of providing supplies to armed groups in Libya and raising donations without government permission.. The Eldarats and two others - a Libyan Canadian and a Libyan resident of the UAE - were acquitted Monday, though they were led from the courtroom in ...

Libya, Bahrain and Iran are the latest countries to be greatly affected by popular people protests inspired by the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia..

VALLETTA - Suspected Libyan rebels have seized a gasoline tanker off Malta, sources familiar with the situation told Reuters on Wednesday, and the vessel was sailing for Benghazi, stronghold of forces opposed to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

As French, American and British forces launch a coordinated attack against the forces of embattled Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi, the staunchly anti-Western rulers of Iran angrily denounced any foreign intervention .. in Bahrain.. The Iranians, who have traditionally been the first to denounce American-led war efforts around the world, have been relatively cautious in their criticism of raids on Kadafis military after Iranian leaders, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, strongly denounced Kadafis crackdown against his own people.. The past records of foreign military interventions by world powers have been rather suspicious, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency on Sunday, according to Deutsche Presse-Agentur.. Mehmanparasts comments were negative but tempered compared with recent Iranian statements on Bahrain, which have led to a diplomatic crisis between the two countries. On Sunday, Iran expelled a Bahraini diplomat in retaliation ...

Towards the end of the show Alex Thomson (51 mins) analyzes the explosion in Beirut. He more or less comes to a similar conclusion that I did by way of deduction. Firstly, it was no accident despite the orange clouds caused by fertilizer. Secondly, although I thought at first that it was Israel bombing a Hezbollah rocket factory the fact that America (Trump) said that it was a bomb made me think it was not Israel because otherwise Trump would have deflected and said it was an accident. Moreover, the Lebanese said it was an accident…then they more or less said that someone would pay. So, I got to thinking that maybe it was Turkey who did the dirty deed. They are in Syria and Hezbollah are supported by Iran…so perhaps? Then I heard Alex Thomson and it makes sense.. Firstly, the port area that was bombed was Sunni Muslim not Shiite (Hezbollah). Secondly, Turkey is involved in Libya as well as Syria. Turkey is supplying weapons via Syria and through Lebanon to Libya. The US and France recently ...

Dust still lingered over northern Africa on February 24, 2006, a day after a massive dust storm swept over Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard the Aqua satellite captured this image on February 24.. In this image, a cloud of dust several hundred kilometers across extends from Libya and Egypt over the Mediterranean Sea. Faint tendrils of dust reach as far to the east as Israel. Although the dust hides many land features in northern Africa, the lush, green Nile Delta still stands out from its surroundings..

Semtex was invented in the late 1950s by Stanislav Brebera and Radim Fukátko, chemists at VCHZ Synthesia, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). The explosive is named after Semtín, a suburb of Pardubice where the mixture was first manufactured starting in 1964.[2] The plant was later renamed to become Explosia a.s., a subsidiary of Synthesia.[5]. Semtex was very similar to other plastic explosives, especially C-4, in being highly malleable; but it is usable over a greater temperature range than other plastic explosives, since it stays plastic between −40 and +60 °C. It is also waterproof. There are visual differences between Semtex and other plastic explosives, too: while C-4 is off-white in colour, Semtex is red or brick-orange. The new explosive was widely exported, notably to the government of North Vietnam, which received 14 tons during the Vietnam War. However, the main consumer was Libya; about 700 tons of Semtex were exported to Libya between 1975 and 1981 by Omnipol. It has also been ...

Those decisions opened the door for warmer relations with the West and the lifting of U.N. and U.S. sanctions. But Gaddafi continues to face allegations of human rights violations.

The dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus (Lowe 1834), is a protogynous sequential hermaphrodite and is considered to be one of the most important fish species in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a K-strategist, being slow growing and late maturing, and this, coupled with its reproductive biology and relatively sedentary behaviour, has made it extremely sensitive to overexploitation, leading it to be classified by the IUCN as an endangered fish species. Wild dusky grouper have suffered from disease outbreaks in the past decade, leading to mass mortalities across the Mediterranean Sea, including Libyan coastal waters. These mortalities have mostly been attributed to Nodavirus infections. In Europe and Brazil, efforts are in place to culture this fish for commercial grow-out and stock enhancement programmes. In Libya, the dusky grouper is consumed regularly and is considered a prime-eating fish. Its importance for the Libyan internal market, as well as its potential for export, makes it an ideal ...

TRIPOLI, Lebanon - A snipers bullet cracks overhead as Abu Ibrahim crouches into his sandbagged fighting position. Seconds later, two gunmen respond with bursts of automatic rifle fire. Between the sniper and Abu Ibrahims men two Lebanese army armored personnel carriers idle. Then quiet, as a dozen or so fighters emerge from bunkers and doorways nearby to smoke cigarettes and chat.

A tenuous lull set in late Friday in Tripoli after fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad killed five people including a Salafist sheikh, shattering a precarious cease-fire.

President Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly this morning in New York and delivered a stern message to those responsible for the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. The attacks on our civilians in Benghazi were attacks on America, said Pres. Obama.

Lawmakers viewed videos of the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya behind closed doors during hearings today. CNNs Dana Bash says, It was like a political Rorschach Test.

Jordans Muslim Brotherhood has given King Abdullah II notice that he has until October to bow to their demand to transform the Hashemite Kingdom into a constitutional monarchy or face Arab Spring street pressure for his abdication.. DEBKAfiles Middle East sources report that Israeli and Saudi intelligence watchers are becoming increasingly concerned about the approaching climax of the conflict in Amman between Islamists and the throne .. For Israel, an upheaval in Jordan bodes the tightening of the Islamist noose around its borders - Egypt and Libya to the south and Syria to the north, with unpredictable consequences with regard to Jordans Palestinian population.. Saudi Arabia, already threatened by Iranian aggression, fears the oil kingdom may be next in line if its northern neighbor is crushed under the marching feet of the Arab Spring.. The oil kingdoms royal rulers are reported to have belatedly woken up to the peril and are in a panic. They realize that their preoccupation with ...

What Abdulhadi conveniently forgets to note is that when East Jerusalem was under Arab occupation, dozens of Jewish synagogues and learning institutions were razed or turned into garbage dumps. Indeed, the Western Wall, one of Judaisms holiest sites was turned into a refuse site. Moreover, following the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, Arabs desecrated the oldest, continuously used Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives by using its burial headstones to build latrines and other structures for the Jordanian army. Desecration of cemeteries by Muslims is neither phenomenal nor limited to Jewish sites as evidenced by the horrific desecration of a cemetery for Commonwealth soldiers killed while liberating Libya from the Nazis; so much for gratitude. Abulhadis feigned concern for Christian sites is almost comical considering the level of persecution Christians are forced to endure under Palestinian Muslim rule in Gaza, Bethlehem and elsewhere ...

The 2018 Shiraka Training on Legislation took place between 28 June to 6 July 2018. Participants from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Territories, Sudan, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. The diversity facilitated great richness in the exchange of knowledge.. The training focused on legislative drafting, progressing from theoretical lectures to practical workshops. Participants had the chance to listen to renowned Dutch experts discuss the legislative drafting techniques and procedures. They also had the chance to work on real-life cases and apply ingenious Dutch legislative drafting tools, including the Table of 11 and the Integrated Assessment Framework (IAK).. The training facilitated peer-to-peer learning. Each participating country presented their own legislative systems to the group. These presentations led to intense comparative discussions between the participants.. ...

This exhibition is designed to immerse visitors in the creative vitality of the continually evolving uprising movement commonly referred to as the Arab Spring. Visitors will experience how freedom of speech merges with artistic expression - capturing the anger, elation, frustration, and hope of these revolutions in the form of graffiti, video, blog postings, cartoons, music, photography and even puppetry. Drawn primarily from protests in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, Creative Dissent demonstrates the varied responses to the protest in the Arab World beginning in late 2010.. Presented by the Arab American National Museum (AANM) and the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, Creative Dissent: Arts of the Arab World Uprisings is guest-curated by Associate Professor of Islamic Art Christiane Gruber of the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, and Nama Khalil, an artist and anthropology PhD student ...

The desert climate (in the Köppen climate classification BWh and BWk), is a climate in which there is an excess of evaporation over precipitation. The typically bald, rocky, or sandy surfaces in desert climates hold little moisture and evaporate the little rainfall they receive. Covering 14.2% of earths land area, hot deserts may be the most common type of climate on earth,[1] after polar climate. Although no part of Earth is known for certain to be absolutely rainless, in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, the average annual rainfall over a period of 17 years was only 5 millimetres (0.20 in). Some locations in the Sahara Desert such as Kufra, Libya record only 0.86 mm (0.034 in) of rainfall annually. The official weather station in Death Valley, United States reports 60 mm (2.4 in), but in a 40-month period between 1931 and 1934 a total of 16 mm (0.63 in) of rainfall was measured. There are two variations of a desert climate: a hot desert climate (BWh), and a cold desert climate (BWk). To ...

Several days before the completion of this deal, the Australian government issued the following alert to its citizens: We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in the United Arab Emirates because of the high threat of terrorist attack. We continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning attacks against Western interests in the United Arab Emirates. Commercial and public areas frequented by foreigners are possible terrorist targets. The UAE was one of only three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan. Our friends the Saudis and Pakistan were the others. They also were active participants in the shipment of nuclear components to Libya, North Korea and, yes, Iran. They refuse to recognize Israel and actively participate in an Arab boycott against it. In fact, DP World, which is entirely held by the UAE government through the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCZC), actively participates in the Arab boycott. Government ...

I am here to tell you that the future that we were dreaming for [in the Middle East] has eventually arrived, Khanfar told the audience at the Technology Entertainment and Design conference (TED), speaking about the recent popular uprisings that have toppled long-standing governments.. A new generation, well-educated, connected, inspired by universal values and a global understanding has created a new reality for us, he said.. ...

DOHA, QATAR - Qatar is smaller than Connecticut, and its native population, at 225,000, wouldnt fill Cairos bigger neighborhoods. But for a country that inspires equal parts irritation and admiration, here is its résumé in the Arab revolts: It has proved decisive in isolating Syrias leader, helped topple Libyas, offered itself as a mediator in Yemen and counts Tunisias most powerful figure as a friend.. This thumb-shaped spit of sand has emerged as the most dynamic Arab country in the tumult realigning the region.. Its intentions remain murky. Some say Qatar has a Napoleonic complex, others say it has an Islamist agenda. But its clout is a lesson in what can be gained with some of the worlds largest gas reserves, the regions most influential news channel in Al-Jazeera, an array of contacts (many with an Islamist bent), and policymaking in an absolute monarchy, vested in the hands of its emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.. Qatar has become a vital counterpoint in an Arab world where ...

The UN Development Programme has ranked Egypt 115th of 189 countries in its annual Human Development Index (HDI), four places below its ranking last year.. The index, which has recorded governmental progress in human development since 1990, takes into account three main indicators: income per capita calculated in US dollars, average life expectancy, and markers of education including literacy rates and expected years of schooling.. Egypt ranked precisely in the middle of other countries in the Arab world, with the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia topping the regional list. Yet Egypt ranked below Algeria, Iran and Libya, highlighting an increased strain faced by the Egyptian government in promoting human welfare in comparison to its neighbours who are also facing internal conflict.. When the HDI score is adjusted for inequality, which can mask the actual distribution of development achievements in society, Egypts score loses a further 29.2 per cent of its value, reflecting the ...

The song powerfully employs the shahada and a common humanity to de-authorize the self-imposed omnipotence of the Gaddafi regime while encouraging protesters from Tunisia to Libya, Bahrain to Yemen to rise up against oppression. It also points to a tightening of familial, political, and identity links between Arabs who have long lived abroad and younger generations who may have never visited the countries their parents originally hailed from.. The fact that Cant Take Our Freedom has been so popular and well received by Arabs both in the West and in the MENA region speaks to a particular movement in which those who have chosen self-exile for political or economic reasons (or had it imposed upon them) are now collaborating in the rewriting of history with those who never left the country of origin but nevertheless felt internally displaced or dispossessed by the institutionalized power structures under which they lived.. That Khaled M. is a multilingual Libyan-American with a dual identity ...

You know what country looks pretty damn shaky? Iraq. Odd, what with our having bombed them into the age of liberal pluralism just eight years ago... Syria is similarly close to head of the line on the instability index, though most indications are that the government there would have no compuntion about brutally dispatching the opposition at the slightest whiff of unrest. Then again, the same could be (could have been) said for Qaddafi in Libya. And while the Gulf oil states mostly look pretty quiet for now (Bahrain excepted), no ones holding the reins on this tiger ...

Egypt (Arabic: مصر Misr / Másr; officially, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Arabic: جمهوريّة مصر العربيّة Gomhuriat Masr Al-Arabiah) [http://www.egypt.travel/] is in north-eastern Africa with its capital located in its largest city, Cairo. Egypt also extends into Asia by virtue of holding the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is bordered by Israel and the Gaza Strip to the north-east, by Sudan to the south and by Libya to the west. The country is bounded by the Mediterranean and Red Seas (to the north and east respectively) and geographically dominated both by the Nile River and its fertile well-watered valley, and by the Eastern and Western deserts.

Right now, socially, we are disintegrating.. So says Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and potential candidate for president of Egypt.. Indeed, post-revolutionary Egypt appears to be coming apart.. Since the heady days of Tahrir Square, Salafis have been killing Christians. Churches have been destroyed. Gangs have conducted mass prison breaks. The Muslim Brotherhood brims with confidence.. And demands are rising for the prosecution and execution of former president Hosni Mubarak.. People do not feel secure, says ElBaradei, They are buying guns. And as Anthony Shadid and David Kirkpatrick of The New York Times write, it is not only Egypts future that is in doubt.. (I)n the past weeks, the specter of divisions - religion in Egypt, fundamentalism in Tunisia, sect in Syria and Bahrain, clan in Libya - has threatened uprisings that once seemed to promise to resolve questions that have vexed the Arab world since the colonialism era.. Can the Arab revolts ...

The Arab Springs opposition stars (and moderate rebels). The Syrian cast of opposition stars that played leading roles in the final sequel of the Arab Spring pentalogy (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Syria) deserve credit for managing to turn the classic cliche revolution script: Olive branch carrying peaceful protesters defeat their dictator, into a totally unpredictable black comedy.. On day 1, there was opposition hero (former political prisoner) Mamoun Homsi dressed in indispensable orange revolution T-shirt … But he was screaming and trying to give the impression he was crying. He was also surrounded with religious symbols and clearly addressing Syrias Sunnis exclusively.. In hindsight, Homsis clip was the official preview of the upcoming Syrian revolution. Homsi is an opportunist, sectarian, lusting for revenge, hysterical,delusional, and a really bad actor. He is also one of many Syrian opposition activists with established neocon and friends-of-Israel connections (Prague ...

Biological warfare (BW) - also known as bacteriological warfare, or germ warfare - has had a presence in popular culture for over 100 years. Public interest in it became intense during the Cold War, especially the 1960s and 70s, and continues unabated. This article comprises a list of popular culture works referencing BW or bio-terrorism, but not those pertaining to natural, or unintentional, epidemics. (Alphabetical by authors surname, and chronologically by author) In Suzanne Collinss book Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods (2005), there is a plague, which turns out to be a biological weapon which accidentally infected an innocent bystander prematurely. In Frank Herberts science fiction novel The White Plague (1982), a vengeful molecular biologist creates an artificial plague that kills only women, but for which men are the carriers. He releases it in Ireland (to support terrorists), in England (to oppress the Irish), and in Libya (to train said terrorists), and then holds the ...

Author David Fletcher is the former Librarian at the Tank Museum and a respected world authority on armoured fighting vehicles. He is also a published author, including the Haynes Great War Tank Manual (2013) and co-author of the Haynes Tiger Tank Manual (2011).. In this 156 page lavishly illustrated account featuring more than 260 photos and illustrations, we learn of how the chassis of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was adapted into an armoured car that served in diverse areas such as the Western Front, Ireland during the Irish Civil War of the 1920s, and supporting Lawrence of Arabias Arab forces against the Turks in the desert of the Middle East.. Upgraded Rolls-Royce armoured cars continued in service between the wars, especially in Iraq, Libya and India and later versions were still in use with the British army in World War 2.. As the title indicates, David Fletchers book traverses the years 1915 to 1944 and thus covers all variants of the vehicle.. Mr Fletchers writing style is ...

In 2010 New Zealand had only two Africa-based embassies - in South Africa and Egypt. New Zealands ambassador in South Africa also covered Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its ambassador in Egypt covered Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. The New Zealand High Commission in London covered Nigeria. There was also a non-resident ambassador to the African Union and Ethiopia (where the African Union, the continents regional organisation, is based). Compared to New Zealand, a number of Pacific rim and Asian countries were more active. Australia had eight embassies scattered across the continent. Japan, South Korea and Indonesia were all actively engaged with Africa, and China and the US had increased investment and government contact.. Africas rich resource base, its increasing stability and its voting strength in the United Nations all helped drive engagement by countries outside the region. For New Zealand, Africas United Nations representation was ...
