Western mercenaries aided Russian-backed Haftar in Libya per UN report. Operations were led by 2 UAE cos Opus Capital Asset Limited FZE and Lancaster 6, run by Christiaan Durrant who worked for Erik Prince's FSG until 2016, by @SameralAtrush @david_wainer
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
James Fenech - charged w/violating sanctions for providing two boats used by the mercenaries in Libya - helped Erik Prince launch Blackwater Ammunition in 2018

The UN report doesn't say Prince had any role in the mission, but he's tied to Fenech & Durrant
The other mercenary firm, Opus Capital Asset Limited FZE, hired lobbyist firm Federal Advocates run by Michael Esposito, around the same time as the Libya mission

BVI company P&ID said it spent $40mil to build gas plant in Nigeria but deal fell through, in 2012 British court authorized P&ID to seize $9.6billion of Nigeria’s foreign assets for loss of presumed profits, now Nigeria says P&ID got deal w/$390k in bribes
occrp.org/en/investigati…
I can't get over that a court authorized BVI co Process and Industrial Developments/P&ID to seize $9.6 BILLION of Nigeria's assets based on:

"the loss of two decades of presumed profits plus $1.2 million per day in interest since the project went bust"

occrp.org/en/investigati…
Private BVI company P&ID invested $40 million and then

"the British court authorized P&ID to seize more than $9.6 billion of Nigeria’s foreign assets — more than the West African country’s annual health and education budgets combined." !!!!

The FBI and the special counsel’s office investigated if Trump 2016 foreign policy campaign adviser Walid Phares, who was hired by JD Gordon, had worked for the Egyptian government to influence the incoming administration, he was never charged with a crime
nytimes.com/2020/05/28/us/…
The campaign foreign policy team also included George Papadopoulos, General Keith Kellog, Joseph Schmitz (who previously worked for Erik Prince) and Carter Page, who coordinated his trip to Moscow with JD Gordon and Walid Phares

Last year @annmarlowe reported Walid Phares set up a company in 2018 w/Libyan general Hafter's son Okba Hafter and Neil Livingstone. In this thread I noted Livingstone was involved with William Sessions in 2007 discussions between DOJ & Semion Mogilevich
