The first party supports the outgoing government Ghiniwa al-Kikli, Imad Trabelsi, Mohamed Bahroun, Abdessalam Zoubi and Omar Bougdada, while the other includes people whose interests converged against the government of Abdelhamid Dabaiba: “Abdelraouf Kara, Osama al-Juwaili, Bashir Khalaf Allah, Haitham al-Tajouri and Ayoub Bouras, according to political researcher Mohamed Qashout.

Analysts warned that the differences between the armed groups in the western region, especially in the capital, Tripoli, to the point of no return, as the daily skirmishes between them do not stop, and weapons entered “air superiority” in the arms race between them, which threatens to explode the scene at any time.

The European naval military mission, known as Operation IRINI, monitored a number of flights to Libya over the past month, including the supply of drones, after examining more than 1,300 flights as part of monitoring and surveillance.

Sky News quoted local sources as saying that there was unusual activity at air bases in the west of the country, especially at Mitiga airport, where training is being conducted on new weapons, and explosions are heard in its two stations from time to time.

“A U.S. Airbus A400M” Atlas military cargo plane landed at the Air Force College in the Libyan city of Misrata, without knowing what kind of military equipment it carries.

The Air Academy in Misrata is the main military base used in the “fight against terrorism”, with observers wondering about the nature of the mission of the US cargo plane, the weapons it carries, and to whom it will be provided in light of the security chaos in the western part of the country.

Since 2015, the College’s aircraft have carried out about 1,400 sorties targeting ISIS positions and contributed to supporting the efforts of the Government of National Accord forces within the “Bunyan Al-Marsous” operation.

The Air College shifted from training to combat after the events of 2011, when the college’s air base witnessed heavy battles, and the college’s technicians equipped the old aircraft to be fit for combat missions.

Sources from the Air Force Academy indicate that its current tasks include protecting Libyan forces from external attacks, in addition to transporting the wounded from Sirte to Misrata.

Amnesty International announced that armed groups in Libya continue to commit gross human rights violations with almost complete impunity.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

The organization indicated in its statement that these violations have continued at an increasing pace since March 2023, when the Human Rights Council decided to end the mandate of the independent fact-finding mission on Libya and adopted a capacity-building resolution instead.

Amnesty International stressed the urgent need to establish an independent international investigative mechanism to investigate ongoing crimes under international law, and to exchange information and evidence with prosecutors and relevant national, regional and international courts, to ensure that those responsible for these violations are held accountable.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

The report indicated a significant decline in net foreign direct investment in Libya from $2.7 billion in 2010 to $50 million in 2022.

The report noted that the oil and gas and infrastructure sectors are the most attractive to investment in the country, but structural problems hinder the development of these investments.
