Libyan authorities in Tripoli told Brazil Africa Institute (IBRAF) president João Bosco Monte they want to resume talks with Brazil and restore ties with the Latin American country, according to Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA). Brazil used to have an ambassador in Tripoli, and Brazilian construction firms operated in the country. “They were all willing to talk and resume talks with Brazil,” he said, adding that Libyans preserve the memory of the relation Brazil used to have with their country. Bosco Monte said his meetings were intended to foster Brazil-Libya ties. Bosco Monte explained, however, he refers to the opportunities, and not only the country’s domestic political issue.

Unrest in Sudan carries spillover threats for LibyaTue, 09th May 2023The recent outbreak of civil conflict in Sudan will have a negative effect on the situation in neighbouring Libya, particularly in the southern areas of the country—known as the Fezzan—as fighting between Sudan’s military and paramilitary leaderships threatens to derail plans to repatriate Sudanese mercenaries from Libya. Persistent political uncertainty in Libya, coupled with Sudan’s deepening conflict, is likely to delay Libya’s political transition and exacerbate security risks. According to UN estimates, a peaceful transition and reconstruction in Libya could potentially enhance economic performance in Sudan by US$22.7bn over 2021‑25. The fighting in Sudan is likely to increase flows of refugees into Libya, further straining Libya’s political process, given rising insecurity and uncertainty. We expect the conflict in Sudan to lead to increased border insecurity in southern Libya, with crossborder movements of both fighters and displaced civilians.

Japan's House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a controversial bill that would amend an immigration law to enable authorities to deport individuals who repeatedly apply for refugee status. By amending the immigration law, the government led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida aims to end the extended detention in immigration facilities of foreign nationals who do not comply with deportation orders issued for overstaying and other reasons. As part of efforts to prevent long-term detention, the government would allow individuals applying for refugee status to live outside immigration facilities under the supervision of their supporters. In 2021, the government shelved an amendment bill for the immigration law amid a growing backlash after a 33-year-old Sri Lankan woman died while being held at an immigration facility in Nagoya, central Japan, that year. In 2022, Japan gave refugee status to 202 people, a record high since it began granting it in 1982.

Two migrant boats carrying a total of 50 people were intercepted by finance police and accompanied to Lampedusa on Saturday, taking to 430 the total number of arrivals since midnight in 10 distinct landings. The other carried 25 Tunisians, including one woman and two minors, who said they had set sail from Kerkennah in Tunisia. In accordance with international law, it is critical that all survivors disembark in a safe place as quickly as possible,” continued MSF. The decision to assign a distant port does not take the welfare of the newly rescued survivors into account,” it concluded. After the rescues on Tuesday the Geo Barents was instructed to disembark in La Spezia, three days’ sailing from the search and rescue zone.

Al-Tawati believes that Italy’s approach to General Haftar is appropriate, as he is the most powerful man in Libya and leads a real regular army that can control migration if given support. The current UN arms embargo on the Libyan army since 2011 has limited its capabilities to control migration. The only way to control migration from Sudan is through the triangular border area between Libya, Sudan, and Chad, which is under the control of the Libyan army. Al-Tawati concluded by saying that the vast desert area of the triangular border is impossible for the Libyan army to control without Rome’s support. Therefore, Italy’s only way to control the illegal migration crisis is through supporting the Libyan army, which is the only way to control the crisis.

Tunisia has received four women and five children from the Libyan authorities on Friday. They are the wives and children of ISIS fighters who were fighting in Libya. This is not the first time that Tunisia has received such individuals, as six children were received in 2020, and another group of children was retrieved from Libya and the Syrian-Turkish border. According to Al-Kabir, the women who were handed over to Tunisia had already been acquitted by the Libyan judiciary. The Tunisian security units are currently reviewing their cases, and the final decision will be made by the Tunisian judiciary.

Mohamed Auajjar, the chair of the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya (FFM), led a three-year investigation by the UN Human Rights Council to investigate human rights abuses committed by all parties to the conflict in Libya since 2016. The mission urged the Libyan authorities to cooperate more closely to uncover the truth behind the widespread crimes committed against both Libyans and migrants in the country. According to the FFM, there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed. These crimes include arbitrary detention, murder, torture, rape, enslavement, sexual slavery, extrajudicial killings, and enforced disappearances.
