Foreign fighters and commercial military organizations pose a severe security threat to Libya, particularly Russia’s Wagner Group, which has broken international law. According to the article, Chadian rebel groups operate out of Libya, and Haftar has recruited Sudanese fighters. The panel has witnessed Turkish-backed Syrian fighters in government military camps in Tripoli, while Haftar-affiliated Syrian fighters operate with Russia’s Wagner Group fighters in the strategically important northern city of Sirte and adjacent Jufra. According to the report, at least 300 of these Syrians have returned home and have not been replaced by Haftar. Several mines had never been documented as being in Libya before, according to the panel, and their transit so breached the UN arms embargo.
