@pdnetwork is pushing for a #peacekeeping mission in #Libya . I fear it’s mainly out of desperation to get Italy back in the country rather than a thought-out approach to the crisis. A couple of strategic considerations.

1. To get Tripoli and Haftar on board is not enough. Without the consent of every militia and internal opposition, it will turn into a counterinsurgency operation. Is the EU prepared to be associated with a massive military occupation?

So, apparently the recent murder of a Georgian national in #Berlin is directly correlated to the modest research I conducted for my thesis, so I thought it would be useful if I scribbled down some educated guesses one can make about this assassination. First of all, German police has been very reluctant to share details beyond the name of victim and perpetrator, and the dynamics of the assassination itself. We know that the victim, a Georgian-Chechen, had been accused by Moscow of collaborating with Islamist insurgents.
