@MouradTeyeb A pertinent 2017 NYT piece on a #France-in-#Africa discussion:

“The Rwanda intervention is the most symbolic of the more than 50 FRENCH MILITARY INTERVENTIONS IN AFRICA”…#French forces are still involved in Africa…"

@MouradTeyeb Rwanda case: French history of “complicity” in Africa from Mitterrand>Macron: “#France was part of the planning, part of the conception & part of the execution of the genocide”

Another case of #French complicity is #Haftar in #Tripoli?

Will we now notice an alleged “withdrawal” from all the #Libya “experts” who were biasedly supporting Hafter’s offensive on #Tripoli with poor analysis.
I say biased because they deny Russian, UAE, French, Egyptian, & Janjaweed presence but throw tantrums around Turkish presence.

Even with all the hard facts and proof of airborne, ground, military and personal support in documents, photos, videos, announcements...etc to them it’s all “fake”. Yet if they see a bottle of Turkish mineral water at one of the frontlines that to them is enough proof.

Their claim is that Hafter and his #LAAF are backed by the “democratically” elected HoR and his move is legitimate. That to me sounds like actually admitting you back all the war crimes he has committed for over a year in #Tripoli #Libya by shelling and displacing civilians.

Starting with a tricky one. I was only able to scratch the surface. Interested to confirm that 36 Btn is indeed under the Al-Saiqa umbrella.

Latest UNSMIL report issued on 15th of Jan was obfuscated by other Libya developments (Moscow ceasefire/Berlin) but contains useful info.

A rare reference to 60 precision strikes by foreign fighter jets conducted on behalf of Haftar's LAAF on West Libya.

unsmil.unmissions.org/sites/default/…

On the opposing side, the GNA carried out 250 airstrikes.

The report attributes the recent military academy massacre to "aircraft affiliated with the Libyan National Army", though Salamé was quoted mentioning a foreign state (#UAE) was likely responsible.

Aside a section on developments in West Libya (primarily on the aftermath of Haftar's offensive, its impact on civilians & mercenaries' involvement), the report provides a rare glimpse of the situation in Eastern #Libya, w/ #Benghazi labelled "hub for illicit economic activities"
