Libya has an air force and they are using it. There is also a weird CIA mercenary air force near Misrata manned by Ecuadoran mercenaries who go back to the DynCorp era. There is also a UAE IOMAX and Wing Loong setup run for Haftar by mercs #ThatDesk. libyanexpress.com/libyas-western…
Also some sexy Russian stuff on the ground in Libya. Su-22s and MiG-21 spotted at Tamanhant Air Base near Sabha in West Libya on March 2. Putin is mad at Haftar tho. Saudis and Emiratis went for the prize.
Main aircraft is MiG-23BN (they still use cluster bombs), but Haftar has Hind gunships and Egypt, UAE and the US has been known to sneak into Libya bomb targets. Follow these accounts for solid updates and background:

ISR tracking fans should add in @SebBenthem @GDarkconrad @ItaMilRadar @5472_nde Seems like Tajoura was the place to be for a number of platforms. Currently the launch spot for any Misrata opposition against Haftar cuz Tajoura is 9 miles east of the real airport of Mitiga.
Sorry should be "Hind" singular. They promote the hell out of it deptite the UAE violating arms embargoes...again. middleeasteye.net/news/uae-breac…

Walt Disney terrified children for decades by killing off anthropomorphic parents in his films. Pixar schooled them and focused on... abandonment...but it appears Disney is back to murdering parents to get your entertainment dollars.
I dont' know what was worse...the ambiguous sexual villains with purple eye shadow and all the damn orphans Disney spawned. :)) mentalfloss.com/article/59581/…

Sudan has a new revolutionary icon. washingtonpost.com/world/2019/04/…
The ugly part. Sudanese internal police are currently stopping and beating anyone at this roadblock who won't give up their cel phone.

Looks like there is a pretty robust bot campaign to support Haftar in the West. This one looks like it is out of Abu Dhabi. Clumsy but disturbing. Anyone know how to scientifically measure these fake accounts?
These new Twitter accounts retweet Barcelona soccer, the Dubai Media Office, and random Brexit stuff. There is one old account. They follow gibberish accounts.
The US right wing is using Libya as anti Hillary narrative, and the UN seems to seizing the microphone to talk about impact on migrants. And can the media stop saying "on the brink of civil war" Meanwhile Haftar and his #LNA are far from home and much further from victory

While I’m waiting for my plane from Orlando to Detroit, I am seriously thinking about live-tweeting the movie Star Wars from memory.
If anyone knows any reason why this should not happen, speak now or #force yourself to enjoy it
Having heard no legitimate objections, let’s begin.

Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Star Wars in a few years. These are my memories and impressions, which are 100% valid and factually correct so don’t AT-AT me. Star Wars joke
1) A BLAST of horns as the yellow Star Wars logo flings itself into deep space. I’m 7 years old and I’m already freeeeaking out

I'm starting a new thread about the urgent situation at Libya's Triq al Sikka detention centre. As many as 30 refugees, incl 4-6 minors, are currently believed to be in an underground cell, where they may have been tortured as punishment for protesting.
aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/r…
These are pictures from the protest on Tuesday. Detainees were asking for a visit from the UN Refugee Agency, who they say guards repeatedly threaten to ban, & better conditions (they're locked inside all day & night, no sunlight or fresh air, some for 1 year or more). #Libya
This is the same centre where Somali refugee Abdulaziz burnt himself to death in October, after telling friends he had lost hope of getting out. It's also where there was a TB outbreak after infected detainees were left w/o medication for more than a month aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/l…

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."

Watched the Barry Seal movie, American Made

Very fascinating. A couple of soon-to-be-famous politicians are vaguely referenced

These two characters have a longer history together than you think

1/?

#CIA
#Clinton
#Bush
For those that haven’t seen the movie, Barry Seal was a former TWA pilot that got mixed up running drugs and guns for the CIA and Medellin Cartel,

He led a fast life and was involved in #CIA operations in Central America including the arming of the Sandinistas

2/?
The #CIA set Barry’s flight operations up in the sleepy town of Mena, Arkansas.....Wait, ARKANSAS?

Guns were flown out of Mena down to Central America while drugs were flown from Colombia and dropped in Louisiana on the way to Mena

This occurred in the late 70s, early 80s
