Libya authorities should immediately and impartially investigate the death of the political analyst, Siraj Dughman, in the Benghazi General Directorate for Internal Security. Libyan authorities had not charged any of them with a recognizable offense. The failure of Libyan authorities to charge the men with a recognizable offense for nearly seven months led to their arbitrary detention. Al-Baaja, al-Bishari, Eldaessi and al-Oreibi should be released immediately, Human Rights Watch said.

A technical level meeting with representatives of France, the United Kingdom, the USA and Italy focused on the formation of a joint military force in Libya took place in recent days in Paris, at the request of the United States. A Libyan source reports to "Nova" that the meeting had the aim of verifying and examining joint projects in favor of the "Joint military force", i.e. a unified Libyan armed force on which the 5+5 Military Committee, the joint commission made up of high-ranking Libyan officials from the east and west. A long article published today by the Libyan news website "Al Wasat" reports that the United States and France are playing a leading role in the unification of the Libyan armed forces. The "Nova" sources, however, reduce everything to a low-level technical meeting - where Soler was also absent - primarily wanted by the United States, and which has so far had little follow-up.

Angola, Libya and Futsal Africa Cup of Nations champions Morocco will represent our continent in the 24-team field.

Italy relaunches industrial collaboration with Libya by focusing on energy, critical raw materials and green technology during the visit to Tripoli of the Minister of Business and Made in Italy (Mimit), Adolfo Urso. “We have also laid the foundations for more concrete cooperation on industrial and production policy,” Urso said in a statement ad "Nova Agency". And Libya needs to develop a dedicated infrastructure for the transport and export of energy from renewable sources. It is no coincidence that Libya is known in Italy above all for its oil sector. As for gas, Libya can potentially export over 10 billion cubic meters of gas to Italy per year via the Greenstream, the gas pipeline that connects Sicily to Eni's fields in the North African country, but gas production is in constant decline.
