Nice map-driven source of what is currently happening in #Libya.
Haftar just rolled into Tripoli Airport. Before you get excited, locals use the Mitiga International Airport after TIP was damaged in fighting. We could have a situation where Haftar is trapped inside Tripoli. Russia, the EU, Sirraj and Libya are hammering up dictator plywood.
The latest move by Haftar is directly connected to his visit to Saudi Arabia on March 27. I assume he was given the cash to pay off the other militias that evaporated. thearabweekly.com/saudi-role-exp…
There was U.S. movement into Misrata on April 1. Prescott Support runs this CASA CN-235-300 N768KD out of Germany running cargo and supplies into the US contingent in Misrata. There is also a ton of ISR over Libya at any one time. libyatimes.net/news/123-crowd…
BTW this aircraft has been to Montenegro and Israel.

The Saudis have a very interesting and militant view of the future and the past.
They are deeply invested in visual propaganda that may be more appealing to the young prince than the general public.
The rich fellow who spend a few weeks in the Ritz Carlton has over 10 million followers. twitter.com/Alwaleed_Talal. Salafist scholar Mohamad al-Arefe has more. You know that guy who advised you to beat your uppity wife with a toothbrush. @MohamadAlarefe Social media has influence.

OK so now we have "Flood of Dignity" vs "Volcano of Doom" vs "Wadi Doum 2"as the U.S. and UN buggers off and lets the Libyans play gun truck and sloppy Mig 23 bombing. School is cancelled and they keep finding Qaddafi's money. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/n…
Collection of the latest internet scrape of Libya related videos in this newscast.
Good Haftar drone propaganda showing off UAE toys and clothing. Note critical Libyan war equipment: Plastic chairs, foam mattresses and tricked out Toyotas.

Reviewing Changes and Currents Involved in #Libya
We will review four main currents:
1. Current which follows the Army(Marshal Haftar,#LNA)
2. Current which follows Government of National Accord,GNA
3. Tuareg & other tribes
4. ISIS & other terrorist groups
english.iswnews.com/4683/reviewing…
The secret hand of western intelligence services in scheming chaos and reinforcing terrorism in North #Africa; and also Libyans themselves stirring up ethnic and political disputes cause the #Libya crisis still remain unsolved even in post-Gaddafi conditions.
Tribes like #Tuareg, #Tabu, #Amazighs, and … which have a significant role in the North #Africa’s developments; are weak at maintaining stability with other tribes or governments and become suppressed by the armies of other countries of this region.

(⛔🚢BREAKING) NO WAY OUT. As fighting in #Tripoli rages on, this August just 1,300 #migrants left #Libya in an attempt to reach Europe by sea.

This is the LOWEST Summer figure since 2012.

#Libia
Migrants are trapped in #Libya, often in appalling conditions. Made even worse by the recent fighting in #Tripoli.
FOLLOW this crucial reporting by @sallyhayd. 👇

(⛔🚢BREAKING) Of the 742 that made it to Europe from #Libya this August, less than a third (234) disembarked in Italy. Of these, 190 were onboard an Italian Coast Guard ship during the "#Diciotti standoff".

Another 56% (416) disembarked in Malta.
12% (87) disembarked in Spain.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
