Tripoli — At least 107 migrants, including women and children, have been released from a town in southeastern Libya, according to a spokesman for the Libyan army. Walid Alorafi, the spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Benghazi, said that the migrants were held for seven months as they tried to go to Europe. The migrants came from different countries in sub-Saharan Africa, but most of them came from Somalia according to Alorafi.

The CID released videos showing their forces destroying the house where the migrants were staying.

Can federalism bring stability to Libya? A decentralized, federalist approach could help build stability, but the international community will likely insist on repeating past mistakes. This was a major shift: Until that point, Libya had two political governments, two military commands, and two different administrations. Without robust institutions, Libya will continue to flounder in conflict. Such scenarios remain unlikely, however, since they require a paradigm shift that is one step too far for many Western leaders and those at the top of international institutions.

In some cases, Sudanese migrants do not even make it to Libya’s cities. Al-Nur had decided to travel from Khartoum to Libya and, from there, Italy, using smugglers in North Darfur State. However, other figures from Sudanese and Libyan organisations suggest that up to 31,000 Sudanese migrants entered Libya by the end of January. Thousands of Sudanese consider Libya a transit point to European countries, especially from the Darfur region,” Awad al-Karim told Ayin. Ahmed Hussein* lives in the RSF-controlled city Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur State.

More details emerged of the three MoU’s signed yesterday in Tripoli during the visit of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melloni and several of her government ministers, received by Tripoli based Libyan Prime Minister Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba. The Aldabaiba government is struggling to find enough cash to cover its existing commitments, let alone any new ones. For example, the Tripoli government is struggling to restart its agreement with IVECO for its state Truck and Bus Company (TBO) – which owes debts to Italy. The Tripoli government is also struggling to finance the Tripoli International Airport project which is slowing down its implementation. So, MoU’s are great political expressions – but they must be understood for what they are.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Libya on Tuesday to sign cooperation agreements with leaders from both administrations in the conflict-torn country. Accompanied by a ministerial delegation on her second visit to Libya since taking office in October 2022, Meloni first met the head of the Tripoli-based government, Abdelhamid Dbeibah, Libyan officials said. "Declarations of intent" were signed on cooperation in health, education and research as well as youth and sports, an Italian government statement said. The agreements come as part of Meloni's long-awaited "Mattei Plan" named after Enrico Mattei, founder of the Italian energy company Eni. On her first visit to Libya early last year, Meloni signed a major gas deal with the North African country, the continent's richest in hydrocarbon reserves.

ISLAMABAD: In view of the constitutional immunity of the head of the state, an accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday halted its proceedings against incumbent President Asif Ali Zardari in the Toshakhana vehicle reference. Approving his request, accountability court judge Justice Javed Rana halted the proceedings against the president in the Toshakhana case. The anti-graft body, in its report, had requested an accountability court in Islamabad to acquit the former premier. In March 2020, NAB filed the Toshakhana reference in an accountability court against the three political leaders. According to the accountability bureau, former president Zardari and former premier Sharif obtained cars from the Toshakana by paying 15% of the price of the cars.
