Q&A: Why documenting Libya’s detention abuses is so important
BOSTON/DUBLINIn 2018, journalist Sally Hayden received a message on Facebook from a refugee in a Libyan detention centre. “In the detention centres where people who are intercepted end up, there is not a proper registration system,” Hayden said. The current policy of supporting the Libyan Coast Guard has evolved as a result of that decision. In detention centres, people get sold to traffickers, they pay their way out, they get sent out during the day as forced labour. Now it has been five years since this policy began, and the conditions in detention centres haven’t improved.

Libya’s oil production is down by about 1.1 million barrels a day, says minister
Libya’s daily oil production, which averaged 1.2 million barrels last year, is down by about 1.1 million barrels, Oil Minister Mohamed Oun told Bloomberg on Monday. That suggests Libya is pumping only about 100,000 barrels a day. It will further tighten supplies in a global market that has seen crude prices surge more than 50% this year to around $120 a barrel. “Almost all the oil and gas activities in the east of Libya are being shut down,” Oun said. The 40,000 barrel-a-day Wafa field in the southwest is currently the only one with continuous production, he said.

Arab League chief concerned over Libya clashes
Frankly Speaking: Food crisis will have ‘huge impact’ on Middle East, says agritech entrepreneur David MeszarosDUBAI: The brewing global food crisis will have a “huge impact” on the Middle East and North Africa, whose populations and economies have suffered “a critical blow” owing to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speaking more broadly, he said the world can feed 10 billion people by 2050 but not with the current food system. (Shutterstock)“The problem is that we have increasingly relied on an outdated, very, very old, obsolete food system. This food system positions itself on field farming, and, because of that, there is a non-renewable aspect to it,” Meszaros said. The Food and Agriculture Organization is advocating the adoption of smart farming to meet the world's food needs amid worsening climate change.

UN Advisor on Libya says at Cairo meetings: There's no room for failure
The Libyan constitutional talks between the House of Representatives (HoR) and High Council of State (HCS) in Cairo kicked off its third and final round on Sunday in the presence of UN Advisor on Libya, Stephanie Williams, who reiterated that there's no room for any failure this time. Williams called in her opening remarks on the HoR and HCS members to devise constitutional framework for elections, telling the spoilers and armed groups to stop intimidating people, adding that the international community won't stand by as violations continue in Libya since they are supporters of the political settlement and elections. “This final round comes at a critical juncture in your country. After eleven years of division, weakness, conflict, chaos and polarization have exhausted Libyans, you have a real opportunity and a truly great responsibility to revive hope in the people and give them a path leading to elections within a strong constitutional framework.” She said. In the last round of the constitutional track meetings, the joint committee reached a preliminary consensus on 137 articles of the draft constitution, according to Williams, without referring to the committee’s tackling of a constitutional framework for the upcoming elections.
