A police inspector has likened Libyan boxer Mohamed Ali Ahmed Elmushraty, better known by his nickname 'Lilu King,' to a “ghost” insofar as his fiscal presence in Malta.

Court imposed travel bans notwithstanding, Elmushraty was repeatedly observed outside in breach of curfew and had even travelled to the Netherlands. The surveillance operation lasted 3 months, from 24 Feb to 24 May and was strictly limited to observation, said the inspector.

However 61 HoR members and some HSC members have already objected to the way their leaders have been negotiating their agreement, and have said they will oppose its ratification. The HoR was elected as a national parliament in 2014 to a four-year term. The HSC was created as part of a political agreement in 2015 from members of an earlier interim parliament elected in 2012. However, under a 2015 political agreement, the international community requires both bodies to approve any new constitutional rules allowing an election, or a change in government. Many Libyans have voiced scepticism that their political leaders are negotiating in good faith, believing them to be unwilling to bring forward elections that might remove them from their positions of power.

Now in the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, the Labour government is proposing reaffirming the PfP agreement it had staunchly opposed in 1995 – Alfred Sant pulled Malta out of the NATO programme immediately upon his election in 1996. In 2012, under Joseph Muscat, Labour deftly managed to draw Cachia Caruana into its parliamentary crosshairs, by accusing him of manoeuvring Malta’s 2008 reactivation in such a manner as to bypass House ratification. Little to no discussion took place on the proposal to retain Malta’s participation in the PfP, save for Fenech Adami’s intervention. By arguing that the prior PfP agreement ‘remained in force’, Cachia Caruana was proposing something in direct contrast to the “unconditional withdrawal” stated in the 1996 letter to NATO from then Labour foreign minister George Vella. In 2008, the PN reactivated Malta’s PfP a day after the elections, as a rudderless Labour reeling from its loss and Sant’s resignation was unable to offer a political response.

Japan argues that the war in Ukraine has destabilised the world, and has invited NATO into the Indo-Pacific to deter China. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has acted as an extension of American power. Asians want the US present to balance China’s power, but that doesn’t mean they want a European military alliance operating in their region. NATO’s growing presence in the Pacific evokes a painful history that the western world has never confronted or fully acknowledged. Its presence in the Indo-Pacific can easily be construed as a new attempt to reassert western military domination of the region.
