Libya Dawn revolutionaries show support for GNC
Libya Dawn Operation revolutionaries representing 23 cites issued on Wednesday a statement in Al-Zaweya to show support to the General National Congress as the sole legitimacy in Libya urging everyone to comply with its orders.
The statement indicated that all of the revolutionaries must be united all around Libya and that Libya Dawn partners are not allowed to declare neither war nor peace unilaterally.

4 Misrata Brigades confirm their support for dialogue, putting an end to the fighting.
In Misrata, 236 revolutionary brigades are registered with the Misratan Union of Revolutionaries (MUR),7 accounting for almost 40,000fighters

This was preceded by European threats over the recent death voyages, coming from ports run by Libya Dawn. GNC officials had been complicit, out of greed and/or fear, but "when Italy and other major EU state leaders started talking about
military action to destroy the smuggler boats before they could load up
with illegal migrants," the GNC offered to patrol the coast with EU coordination, to stop the traffic. Italy, by far the biggest absorber of the influx, welcomed the move.
Al-Arabiya Italy welcomes collaboration with GNC
But... there was dissent:
Mufti Ghariani denounces Misrata brigades statement for peace and reconciliation
And this acceptance was issued at a time when, the Misratans may have had reason to know, they were about to claim the GNC betrayed their newfound friendship, and perhaps be forced to again be at odds with them. Within nine days, as Libya Herald reports on 29 May, "Libya’s largest airbase falls into IS hands as Misratans blame GNC" Did the GNC fold and retreat and let ISIS/Daesh take over? No, the Misratans did:
''Forces supporting the Islamic State (IS) have taken control of Gardabiya airbase in Sirte, Libya’s largest airbase, after Misrata’s 166 Brigade retreated last night from its remaining positions in the town ... [and IS] is reported to have taken control also of the Manmade River complex some 25 kilometres east of the town. It too had been in the hands of 166 Brigade.''
Misratans blame the GNC for this loss, by refusing to arm the Misratans adequately (in the few days they'd been cooperating?) and they blame ISIS for having too many weapons (or are they saying the GNC has armed them?)
“We did not get any support from the GNC. We don’t have enough weapons, enough vehicles. The other side has everything,” a local official said.
The commander of 166, Mohamed Ahusan, echoed that they had no choice, adding that this had been an issue and he had already threatened to just pull out if he didn't get the right support. So this is a conscious decision finally taken, just after they had feigned cooperation, and it might've been presaged with deception; the Herald report mentions conflicting "separate reports yesterday that although a different Misratan brigade had decided to pull out of Sirte because of the lack of backing from the GNC, 166 and a handful of others had agreed at a meeting with the council to stay on and fight IS."
Might that be part of why reinforcements weren't sent? Was this a surprise withdrawal of 166 despite their promise to stay? How would that be the GNC's fault? Doesn't matter - they're on their own with the backstabbers and ISIS teaming up like this to spread their Islamo-nihilist zone.
:''
Meanwhile the international community, notably the EU and the US, continues to insist that it will not help anyone in Libya fight IS until there is a government of national unity – a scenario that looks as remote now as when the UNSMIL dialogue process restarted four months ago in Geneva.

Col. Abdel Salem Ashour, who heads the Libyan Interior Ministry’s criminal investigations department,
said he now thought the attack was hastily planned by smaller groups whose membership comprised different nationalities. He said the attack wasn’t well organized but that with the Libyan government essentially without forces in eastern Libya, it didn’t need to be.
“Islamist groups have their own agendas, and they have the ability to gather and mobilize.
They exploit the lack of security,” he said.
Ashour said the case had been turned over to a judge in Tripoli, suggesting that suspects have been identified. But he emphasized that nearly five months after the attack, no arrests have been made.

Delete20 May, 2017 Dozens of troops and civilians have reportedly been slaughtered in an attack on an airbase in southern Libya.
DeleteThe attack was blamed on the militia backing the Tripoli-based government of National Accord (GNA), which denies that it sanctioned the carnage.
The attack unfolded Thursday afternoon at Brak Al-Shati airbase, which since December has been under control of the Libyan National Army (LNA), rivaling the government in Tripoli. LNA, headed by General Khalifa Haftar, does not recognize the authority of the GNA and is linked to the rival House of Representatives (HoR), the country’s elected legislature, which operates from the city of Tobruk on Libya’s eastern Mediterranean coast.
The so-called Third Force militia, hailing from the city of Misrata, which is loyal to the UN-backed government of Prime Minister Fayez Al Sarraj, launched an attack on the airbase as the LNA soldiers were returning from a military parade held there.
The servicemen were not able to offer much resistance as they were unarmed, LNA spokesman Ahmad Al-Mimari said in a statement on Friday, as cited by AFP.
“Most of them were executed,” Al-Mimari said.
Misrata State Council member Begassem Igzeit called the killings an “irresponsible and heinous crime against Libyans.”
Medical officials at a local hospital said that people killed in the bloodshed died of a variety of causes, having their throats slit by militiamen, succumbing to burns or due to being run over by military vehicles.
Among those caught in the melee were also “innocent civilians,” Al-Mimari said, who lived nearby or were employed at the base.
Reuters reported Thursday that at least 60 people died in the attack, however, unverified reports of a much higher death toll were already circulating.
Third Force commander Mohamed Gliwan
claimed responsibility for the attack,
arguing that his people “liberated the base and destroyed all the forces inside,” in an interview to Lybian Al-Ahrar TV, as cited by Reuters.

“I don’t know why they killed my son,” laments Almadany Alfadeel, a small-time jeweler. Standing in his tiny store, he explains what happened on the evening of June 6 to his eldest son, Abdul Gadar Almadany. While he talks with frequent invocations to Allah, two of his son’s three kids, a 7-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, observe wide-eyed, half-comprehending.
“He dropped off a friend from the coffeehouse and as he turned his car, two other cars blocked him in and masked gunmen jumped out and shot him five times,” he says. It was just yards from the family house. The 64-year-old suspects his son’s death squad–style slaying was a reprisal killing, assuming someone thought he had sided with Gaddafi during the uprising. “He didn’t fight for Gaddafi. We are from Gaddafi’s tribe, but that is all.”
The Foundation of Sirte, a local NGO, says that Abdul had no record of having been an active Gaddafi loyalist.
Abdul isn’t the family’s only loss. Two other sons, Hassan, 33, and Ashraf, 31, disappeared on Oct. 12 and remain missing, despite the family’s efforts to find them. Brandishing pictures of his sons, he says, “I want to find my missing children. If they are dead, they should tell me so I can bury them.”

and the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries as terrorist groups and outlaws.
Islamist parties’ progress in Tripoli necessitates action from regional powers - the Arab League, Egypt and Algeria - to save Libya from chaos.
Developments on the ground show that the country is heading towards a Somalia-like scenario.
The use of Libya as a base for jihadist activity against neighboring countries also necessitates developing regional security and intelligence coordination.

Thanks to Wikileaks, we have a series of US Libyan embassy cables,
Deletestarting in December 2007, which document what became rather an abiding interest in two repatriated ex-Guatanamo detainees,
Ben Qumu Abu Sufian Ahmed Hamouda
and Muhammad Abdallah Mansur al-Rimi -- ben Qumu in particular.
Another cable, this one by Stevens on June 6, 12, 2008, assesses the attitudes of ben Qumu and al-Rimi toward their new prison, Abu Salim, compared to their old facility, known as ESO. They both "expressed a desire to return from Abu Salim prison to the ESO facility," Stevens wrote.
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-jihad-and-christopher-stephens-part-i
Why did Stevens care? Why was the US Embassy so concerned?
Something else I wonder is who among the diplomats who served with Stevens has made the connection between Stevens' interest in ben Qumu in 2008 and news reports identifying ben Qumu as the leader of the terrorist attack in which Stevens and three other Americans were murdered.

As Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) of the newly-opened U.S. Embassy in Tripoli in 2007-2008, Christopher Stevens met with al Qaeda terrorists in Libyan prisons, to ensure they were being treated properly and were not being tortured.
Stevens memorialized these meetings in a series of cables stolen by Wikileaks and posted online. Here are some of the most significant:
DOCUMENT: US Embassy Tripoli, Libya: Follow-Up on Access to Returned GTMO Detainees, SECRET, Dec. 13, 2007;
DOCUMENT: US Embassy Tripoli, GoL Further Protests Planned Transfer of Libyan Detainee at GTMO to U.K., Dec. 13, 2007;
DOCUMENT: p87: Chris Stevens and other State Department diplomats went to extraodinary lengths to ensure that former GITMO detainees, released to Qaddafi, were being well-treated in Libyan jails. Stevens gave up his Christmas day in 2007 to visit with Abu Sufian Hamouda Bin Qumu, whose al Qaeda ties were detailed by the U.S. Department of Defense in this 2005 detainee assessment. Sufian Bin Qumu so hated Westerners that he refused to meet with investigators from Human Rights Watch after the fall of Qaddafi.

along the airport road, in the Gharghur neighbourhood
and even in a government building behind the Supreme Court.
Crisis Group interviews, Tripoli, June-September 2012 and January 2013.
In March 2013, the government evacuated some of these buildings. The government has not sanctioned any of the lists of “wanted” individuals; indeed, no official list exists.
The Commission for the Application of Integrity and Patriotism, the NTC-appointed body tasked with vetting high-ranking administrative and political appointments,
announced that it possessed a list of 4,465 “wanted” individuals from around the country,
but a member clarified that this referred to fugitives from justice,
not former Qadhafi-era officials sought by armed brigades.
A commander of a local branch of the Supreme Security Committee (SSC) explained
that SSC units put together lists of“wanted” individuals
for most towns on the basis of official documents found after the 2011 war and through interrogations.
“After liberation, in most towns we found lists of those to whom the Qadhafi forces had distributed guns or vehicles during the war, so that provided a starting point.
Then we had the other lists of people employed in the security forces and those who were members of the lijan thawriya[revolutionary committees].
We interrogated those we had arrested to check them against the names and whereabouts of those on our lists.
We also monitored telephone calls and knew who was keeping contact with those [loyalists] abroad”.
Local SSC forces drafted a list of 1,000 “wanted” people in Zliten alone, a town of 200,000 residents.
In Bani Walid, he claimed, there were 5,000 wanted individuals, including some from other areas whom the SSC believed were hiding there prior to the October 2012 siege.

ZLITEN - 09 MARCH 2012
SALAFISTS ATTEMPT TO DESTROY SUFI SHRINES: On March 9, over 100 carloads of armed Salafists arrived in Zliten intent on destroying the tomb of one of the most revered Sufis in Libyan history, Sidi Abdul-Salam Al-Asmar al-Fituri.
The Salafists, from Benghazi, Tripoli, Misrata, Khoms and other towns
and led by Sheikh Salah Al-kikli from Jebel Nafusa, were confronted by angry Zliten residents and gun-waving militiamen determined to protect the shrine.
These pro-Sufi groups were joined by other militiamen from Misrata

ReplyDeleteFour years on from the revolution, a court in Misrata has sentenced two Qaddafi regime officers to life imprisonment for their role in it.
The city’s Court of Appeal, which is also its court of first instance,
yesterday found Mustafa Abdussalam Salim Al-Mashai from the Jebel Nafusa
and Abdurrahim Khaled Abdussalam Al-Kask from Tripoli guilty
of having taken up arms against the Libyan people,
of providing assistance to the Qaddafi regime
and of possessing weapons and ammunition without a license during the revolution.
In addition to the life sentences, they were deprived of their civil rights.
The case is just one of many involving hundreds former regime officials and supporters still held in jail in Misrata.
Human rights organisations have called for trials to be speeded up, for access to those detained and for all of them to be held in official prisons

Human rights activists from Misrata noted that some prosecutors in that city,
which has the highest number of detainees still awaiting trial,
are considering trying former combatants for “taking arms against Libya” (Article 165 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty).
Crisis Group interview, international rule of law adviser,Tripoli, December 2012.
Tripoli’s military prosecutor called this “a total misinterpretation and misuse of the law”.
Crisis Group interview, Tripoli, December 2013.
He added: “This article [165] is intended for those who fought for a foreign country against Libya;
but these detained men were actually fighting for Libya,
because the Qadhafi regime was – legally speaking – Libya”.

Delegates from the city council of Misrata went to the Geneva talks despite Tripoli's objections, a sign of potential divisions within the Tripoli government.
A former member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and from Sabratha, Madhuni
had been imprisoned by Qaddafi at Abu Sleem. His brother was killed by the regime. During the revolution, he collected together a brigade of local fighters, now the basis of the current Madhuni Brigade, and since then has headed Sabratha Military Council. He was elected last June as a member of the town’s municipal council.
The Madhuni Brigade is part of the Libyan Revolutionaries’ Operations Room, set up by Nuri Abu Sahmain last year to secure the capital and which is now the main “Islamist” grouping within Libya Dawn. It is a key element in the current fighting west of Tripoli.
Last month, the brigade’s camp outside Sabratha was bombed in an LNA air raid.
Madhuni himself was reportedly captured some weeks previously near Ajdabiya but then released in a deal that remains veiled in secrecy.There are meanwhile unconfirmed reports that the brother of Mohamed Al-Kilani, the controversial Islamist congressman from Zawia who was killed fighting against the Wershefana in September, was captured in clashes in the area earlier this week.

ReplyDeleteThe seventh division, which also included many members of the Umar al-Mukhtar battalion that had emerged out of the orbit of former fighters of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, became the Shield’s most explicitly Islamist unit
The Misratan initiative mentioned above was designated Central Shield.
In addition, Misrata’s military council later created a new Shield unit intended to dissolve katiba structures entirely and reorganize individuals within a more centralized command structure, which was named Libya Shield 3, or simply the Third Force (al-Quwa al-Thalitha). In doing so, they aped the designs for integration into the armed forces, which Misratan lead-ers were at that point pressing upon the chief of general staff.

The Omar Mukhtar brigade commander, until he was killed on Friday in an attack on Brega,
was Abdelmonem Mukhtar Mohammed,a man with long experience in the armed opposition movement known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group who had also spent time in Afghanistan and had met Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden,according to the Los Angeles Times.
On an individual basis, it is a certainty that some former LIFG members are fighting with the rebels. One former LIFG fighter, Khalid al-Tagdi, was killed on March 2 in Brega while fighting against regime forces.[8] Similarly, in mid-April, another senior LIFG military commander, Abdelmonem Mukhtar, known as Ourwa, was killed after he was ambushed by Qadhafi forces on the road between Ajdabiya and Brega. Mukhtar had been imprisoned in Iran until the end of 2010 and returned to Libya when the uprisings began where he was made commander of the 160-strong Omar al-Mukhtar rebel battalion.

Misrata’s militia leaders held meetings in Tripoli, the capital, this past week to coordinate a counterattack, according to a member of the city’s military council. Misrata sits along the coast between Tripoli and Sirte.
ReplyDelete“The priorities have shifted,” Wehrey said. “Misrata is getting hit [by Daesh], and they are just down the road.”Since the fall of Gaddafi in 2011, this city of about 500,000 — Libya’s third largest — has enjoyed relative stability. Thanks to advanced infrastructure and the city’s port, Misrata has again established itself as a Mediterranean trade hub.
Still, Daesh did not appear in Libya until mid-2014. A group of Libyan militants who had pledged allegiance to Daesh while fighting in Syria returned home and began to organise in the eastern city of Derna, according to experts and Libyan Islamists.
Later in 2014, Daesh leadership sent a delegation from Syria to Libya to formally receive pledges of allegiance to its self-declared caliph, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi.
The Libyan group set up three caliphate “provinces,” in the east, in Tripoli and in the south. Each province has an Daesh governor, but there is no single spiritual or military leader inside Libya, experts say.
Despite the extremists’ advances, there are several factors that will probably hinder their growth, Wehrey said.
The country’s 6.2 million people are mostly Sunni, so there are not the kind of sectarian divisions that have allowed Daesh to grow in Syria and Iraq.
The Libyan affiliate also lacks a stream of revenue, hampering its ability to offer social services.
In Syria and Iraq, Daesh has far more income because of its control of some of the countries’ oil production, as well as its ability to impose taxes and collect ransoms from kidnapping.
Libya’s petroleum resources remain under the control of the two governments.
The military official said that the Misrata factions plan to move against Daesh in Sirte
before the end of the month, but that they might not have enough manpower to attack so soon. The Misratan brigades, which are made up of as many as 40,000 fighters, are deployed across Libya in their fight against Haftar’s forces.

Oil: The Lubricant of War
ReplyDeleteAs with most things in the this region, oil is king. Leaked cables and a very public and tenuous relationship with the west give a rare, candid look into some of the possible financial incentives for war.
At the heart of Libyan oil is the National Oil Corporation. They control most of the oil reserves, although there are many International Oil Companies (IOC) that do business in Libya. Eni (30% owned by the Italian government) , is the largest IOC in Libya.
Under Qadaffi’s Libya, France was a much smaller player and was mostly confined to the smaller Western oil fields.
This is subject to change as the National Transition Council (NTC) redraws contracts.
Gazprom (Russian owned) has been increasing their involvement in Libya over the past few years.
It’s not coincidental that Russia and Italy where against the bombing of Libya while France and the US fully supported it.
As always, those who would gain from destabilization support wars.
At the heart the oil grab is the increased Russian involvement over the past few years. Gazprom has used it’s strangle hold on European natural gas and oil supply/movement to punish Belarus, Georgia, and other European countries.

OXY was the first US petroleum corporation to resume operations in Libya
when sanctions were lifted in 2004. In 2008,
Oxy reached new 30 year agreements with Libya to redevelop and explore
in its "most prolific producing area" -- the Sirte Basin. US major ExxonMobil reported "milestone achievements" in the Libyan oil sector in 2009.

The new route, which avoids going through the popular but heavily guarded Turkish border –used to directly reach Syria – reportedly allows the militants to avoid security measures in UK airports.

And according to Libyan security sources, ISIS now has about 2,000 fighters in Sirte
and an estimated 700 in Sabratha,
“Many of them are Syrian veterans,” a security officer called Mustafa told The Daily Beast. He asked for his family name not to be disclosed. “Of the foreigners, 70 percent are Tunisians but there are fighters from Sudan and Iraqis and Syrians.”
Residents say the group has between 150 and 250 members, most of them returning from Syria, between the ages of 18 and 21 years. And founded the "legitimacy of the court" and "legitimate institute" for recruitment.

So the embattled Derna fighters, feeling heat from all directions, called on ISIS
to provide its Libyan branch with money and fighters from Syria
.In a letter published on ISIS-related websites on December 15th, Abu Arhim al-Libi
said weapons were available in abundance in Libya and his group just needed money to buy them.
The request for help came as a response to Daesh instructions to turn Libya into a centre for recruiting jihadists from Maghreb countries.According to the letter, Maghreb jihadists, particularly Tunisians, are eager to join ISIS in Libya, especially after the group announced the establishment of the Islamic State of Cyrenaica and created Sharia courts, Islamic police and a hisba office in Derna.

In Libya, the group deploys locally-recruited fighters, led by envoys sent from Syria and Iraq. Those include Libyans returned from fighting on Syrian and Iraqi frontlines,
steeped in the group's ethos of extreme violence and permanent warfare between those it considers true Sunni Muslims and all others.

09/08/2011 Libya: Estimated 30,000 Died In War; 4,000 Still Missing huftingtonpost
At least 30,000 people were killed and 50,000 wounded in Libya's six-month civil war, the interim health minister said, offering a first detailed estimate of the high cost in lives of bringing down Moammar Gadhafi.
Of the estimated 30,000 dead, about half are believed to have been Gadhafi's fighters,
Barakat said.
He said he was told by Libya's new military officials that the Khamis Brigade,
commanded by Gadhafi's son Khamis and a core force in Gadhafi's army, lost about 9,000 troops.
There has been no explanation of the basis for either the council’s tally of 30,000 to 50,000 dead,
or the number preferred by the new government’s minister of health, Naji Barakat, a more modest 25,000 to 30,000.
At the Ministry of Health, Mohammed al-Ghazwi, who leads a newly formed Committee on the Dead, charged with confirming death tolls from the conflict, was reluctant to give any numbers out.
“Every day we find another grave, so I can’t give you a specific number,” Mr. Ghazwi said. “But it’s about twenty-five to thirty thousand, like the minister of health said.”
Asked how many of those were based on documented cases of dead found so far, he said they were many fewer, but he could not give a number.

ReplyDeleteKhalifa al Ghweil of the Libya Dawn party claims to have control of 85 per cent of the country
The Prime Minister of Libya has told the international community they must recognise his authority and get rid of the military commander supporting his rivals in the east if there is to be any chance of peace in the country.
Khalifa al Ghweil, who is based in Tripoli, believes General Haftar is the main impediment to solving Libya's problems.
The General and his army are supporting the internationally-recognised government, which is confined mostly to Tobruk in the east.
His soldiers are fighting Islamic State extremists who have taken over sections of the country including Derna and at one stage, Benghazi.
But Mr al Ghweil said it was his Libya Dawn party which had control of 85 per cent of the country.
Control or no control, the country is fast heading towards bankruptcy with crumbling infrastructure, rival militias, criminal gangs and Islamic State militants and people smugglers all taking advantage of the chaos.
Mr al Ghweil laughed when I said his enemies claimed that the west under his control is full of Islamists.
"General Haftar says this only because he cannot control Daesh (IS). We are providing for the whole of Libya, both east and west. And General Haftar has no authority," he said.
The beaches of Tripoli are packed with families enjoying the afternoon sun.

Yet this is the city where most embassies have withdrawn their staff in response
to the high kidnapping threat and because law and order is considered
to have deteriorated so dramatically.
It is also an area flooded with migrants who are taking advantage of the power vacuum
to try to make their way across the sea to Europe.
The smugglers - whether acting as individuals or in networks - are making financial gains out of the migrants' desperation.
Some networks are run like multi-national businesses, with massive profits to match.
Among those profiteering and thriving from this human trade are the IS extremists.
An hour's drive from Tripoli, in Zawiyah, far away from the near-idyllic scene of calm and contentment on the capital's beaches, is a scene of hell.
In this case it is an unfinished building housing hundreds of migrants
who have been picked up
by the Libya Dawn authorities.
These are the unfortunates who are now non-people. Their embassies are non-existent. Nobody wants to take responsibility for them and their families often do not know
if they are alive or dead, never mind where they are now.
New Libyan group calls for 1951 constitution and Idris Al-Senussi to be interim head of state.
ReplyDelete17 June 2015:
A group of Libyan lawyers, diplomats, political activists, doctors and businessmen from towns across the country has called for the restoration of the 1951 constitution and on Prince Idris Al-Senussi to become interim head of state.
At a meeting yesterday in Barcelona hosted by the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and the Toledo International Centre for Peace (CITPax), the group said that Libya was dangerously split and that too many post-revolution figures were unable to put its interests above those of their community or themselves. In the situation, they declared, the country urgently needed an interim head of state who was not linked to any of its present divisions and disputes and who could act as a focus of unity and loyalty for all Libyans.
“To ensure the unity of the Libyans, and for the stability and security of the country,
we call for the restoration of the Libyan constitution first promulgated on 7 October 1951, with amendments, and have asked Idris Al-Senussi to be interim head of state,”
a statement read.
As a member of the former ruling Senussi family and with no links to any single city or tribe, he could act as a unifying force, a Libyan lawyer at the meeting said.
Constituting themselves as the “Group Supporting a Roadmap for an Inclusive Libya in Peace”, they said they would be talking to the country’s mayors about the call, and planned to organise a conference with them during Ramadan.
“We do so taking into consideration all the Libyan community, inside and outside Libya, and with the sincere hope that all displaced Libyans can return in peace to their homes,” the statement said.
Bernardino Leon, the UN envoy, was not present at the meeting but sent his best wishes beforehand.
Many of those present asked that their names not be revealed at present for security reasons.

One named source is a member of the as-Senussi royal family, which Gaddafi drove from power and which has its power-base precisely in the Cyrenaica region of eastern Libya that is currently rebelling against Gaddafi’s rule.
Perhaps not the most neutral source imaginable…

Idris was a bloodline royal descended from
Sayyid Muhammad ibn Ali as-Senussi (1787 - 1860), the founder of the Senussi order.
He was King of Libya from 1951 to 1969 when he was deposed by the Libyan army under the leadership of Muammar al-Gaddafi in a coup.
King Idras was just about to abdicate, in favor of his nephew,
Crown Prince Hasan as-Senussi.
My husband, Gunther was with the CIA at the time. Longtime readers of RMNews know that Gunther was a member of Faction Two, a worldwide group of exiled royals who oppose the City of London, and their worldwide banking cartels.
A member of Gunther's group told me that the real reason that the people of Libya wanted to be rid of the King was because he did nothing to stop the new world order pedophiles from raiding Libya for sex slaves.

ReplyDeleteTwo relatives of the late Idris are now slugging it out in public in the hope they'll be recognized as the legitimate heir to the throne. In the early 1990s,
Idris el-Senussi, a Libyan expatriate in Britain,
spent as much as £100,000 to lobby the British government to recognize him as the legitimate heir to the King of Libya. He managed to persuade 41 MPs to sign a motion that described him as "a great nephew of the late King Idris of Libya and heir presumptive of the Libyan throne."
Actually, he's the "second son of the sixth son of the younger brother of King Idris's father," according to Debrett's Peerage, the authoritative British guide that decides who's in and who's out of royalty, anywhere. Once this was made public, Idris el-Senussi's campaign to get the British government to endorse his royal pretensions fizzled, to the embarrassment of his supporters in the House of Commons.
The fact that he's a multimillionaire and a shadowy presence in world of Middle Eastern finance suggests we haven't heard the last of him.
Most influential Libyan exiles support Mohammed el-Senussi as the "legitimate" king in exile.
He's the great nephew of King Idris and has publicly supported the rebellion in Libya.
"The return of monarchy to Libya is not a priority," he has said, "but the United Nations - which endorsed the Libyan constitution upon independence - must interfere and restore the constitution, to hold free elections and let the people decide what system they prefer."
Mohammed el-Senussi will no doubt use this fact to further his claim to the throne.
If not, he can still argue that he and his family deserve reparations.
Either way, we can be sure that, whatever new Libya emerges, various members of the "Libyan royal family" will play their hand.
Clearly, this princely rivalry is not about Islam, constitutional monarchy or democracy.
It's about money - and there are billions of dollars at stake.

Before the NATO war, Libyan society had come a long way since 1951 when it became an independent African country. In 1975, the political scientist Henri Habib described Libya on the dawn of its independence as a backward country saying: “When Libya was granted its independence by the United Nations on December 24, 1951, it was described as one of the poorest and most backward nations of the world. The population at the time was not more than 1.5 million, was over 90% illiterate, and had no political experience or knowhow.
ReplyDeleteThere were no universities, and only a limited number of high schools which had been established seven years before independence.”
According to Habib, the state of poverty in Libya was the result of the yoke of Ottoman domination followed by an era of European imperialism in Libya that started with the Italians.
He explained that, “[e]very effort was made to keep the Arab inhabitants [of Libya] in a servile position rendering them unable to make any progress for themselves or their nation.”
This colonial yoke, however, began its decline in 1943 after Italy and Germany were defeated in North Africa during the Second World War.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/libya-then-and-now-an-overview-of-natos-handiwork/5415563
The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) had shares and invested in major international corporations such as oil giant British Petroleum (BP), the world’s largest aluminium producer United Company RUSAL in Russia, the US conglomerate General Electric (GE), the Italian bank and financial giant UniCredit, the Italian oil corporation Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI), the German engineering and electronic conglomerate Siemens, the German electricity and gas company Rheinisch-Westfälisches Elektrizitätswerk (RWE), British publishing giant Pearson, and British telecommunications giant Vodafone (UK). Libya had purchased Exxon Mobil’s subsidiary in the Kingdom of Morocco, Mobil Oil Maroc, and bought half of Kenya’s oil refinery. The LIA bought all of Royal Dutch Shell’s service stations in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Sudan in 2008. Tripoli announced in the same year that it was buying a major share of Circle Oil, an international hydrocarbon exploration company with operations in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. A Libyan agreement was also made with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to build a pipeline in the western part of its territory. Large investments were made by Libya in agricultural, industrial and service projects in Africa from Egypt and Niger to Mali and Tunisia.
There is also a great irony to all this. The warplanes of the US-supported Libyan regime
that has replaced the Jamahiriya began bombing Libyan citizens in 2014 as battles for control of Tripoli raged.
The US, European Union, and NATO have said nothing about this
whereas in 2011 they started a bombing campaign and war on the basis of false accusations the Jamahiriya government was doing exactly this.
The deceit of these players is more than evident.

Rival managements of the $67bn Libyan Investment Authority are set to fight in London courts over claims of Tripoli and Malta
The Libyan Investment Authority’s multi-billion pound claims against Goldman Sachs and Société Générale, both of which underwent pre-trial hearings in late 2014 and are due to go to trial next year, may be undermined by increasingly fractious infighting at the $67bn fund.
This week two separate law firms — neither of them Enyo Law, which had represented the LIA

But the other side is led by Adbulrahman Benyezza and remains in Tripoli. Benyezza was — according to the Maltese side — removed by the LIA board in October, but Emerging Markets has spoken to a representative who insists that he continues to run the fund from Tripoli.
“LIA is still at its own location, right here on the 22nd floor of the Tripoli Tower, with 130 employees still here who have been in these offices from 2008. We are still in operation,”
said the source in the LIA, who asked not to be named. "And Benyezza is still involved? “Absolutely! I see him every day in his office.
“We continue to manage Libya’s assets and maintain control over its subsidiaries; we continue to represent Libya’s government and the Libyan people internationally.

Libya's former central bank governor Farhat Bengdara said on Saturday a newly formed association of Libyan bankers was preparing recommendations to support the country's rebel leaders in raising finance.
The unofficial International Association of Libyan Bankers met in Istanbul on Saturday, a day after the United States and other world powers recognized the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) as Libya's government.
Recognition of the rebels, announced by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a meeting of the international contact group on Libya, is an important diplomatic step which could unlock billions of dollars in frozen Libyan funds.
Bengdara, who defected in March, said his association would offer support to the NTC in restructuring the Libyan banking sector.
Bengdara said his association, which has around 40 members including senior bankers at international banks, was collecting data regarding the Libyan assets abroad.
Bengdara left Libya on Feb 21, traveling to Turkey as there were direct flights and no visa requirements.
Back in May, The Washington Post reported that Libyan rebels had obtained funds by “liberating” government assets worth $505 million in the Central Bank of Libya’s Benghazi branch.
Ali Tarhouni (pictured), the rebels’ minister of finance, explained the move to foreign journalists: “Let me put this way: We robbed our own bank.” Locksmiths used an industrial drill to open the vault holding Qaddafi’s cash. The straightforward procedure also had a desired publicity effect, highlighting the rebels’ need for funds (possibly drawn from Qaddafi’s frozen foreign assets).

Insight: In muddle of Libya's finances, billions go missing
the disarray in Libya's state finances at the end of last year was so bad the new leadership did not know the size of state assets, how their money was being spent, or what had happened to more than $2 billion transferred from the sovereign wealth fund.
An internal National Transitional Council (NTC) document paints a picture of a government bureaucracy so fractured and disorganized that nobody appeared able to keep track of what money was coming in, and how much was going out.
Ibrahim Belkheir, the head of the Libyan government audit bureau, said his office had looked into the issues raised in the report, including the LIA's financial statements, but he said he could not disclose his findings.

ReplyDeleteLibya's most prominent cleric, Ali Al Salabi, and Tripoli military council chief Abdelhakim Belhadj are believed by many Libyans and some analysts to enjoy Qatari financial support.
In March 2010, due to the intervention of Tony Blair, Saif Qaddafi (Muammar’s son) announced the release of Belhadj and 233 other members of the LIFG from Abu Selim as part of a reconciliation of the Qaddafi government with the LIFG and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The mediator in this effort, which began in 2005, was the Libyan, Muslim Brotherhood-linked, Qatari-based cleric Ali al-Sallabi.
Less than a year after they were released, Belhadj and the other members of the LIFG became the core of the opposition to Qaddafi. According to the Wall Street Journal, bin Qumu began training jihadists in Derna in April of 2011.

as the deputy minister of defense of Libya..
When the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Khalid al Sharif escaped Afghanistan to Pakistan, where he remained until 2003. In 2003 he was captured in Pakistan and handed over to the US which later transferred him to Libya in 2005. He was released with Belhadj and others on March 23, 2010 but re-imprisoned by Qaddafi once the revolution began.
After the liberation of Tripoli by Belhadj he began working with the Tripoli military council and then went on to form the National Guard, which according to the Libya Herald is involved directly with the Border Guard, patrolling the borders and providing security to oil installations. It also helps the Judicial Police in interrogations and supervising many prisons.

Al-Qaïda en Libye en possession d’armes serbes ?
Une comité d’experts de l’ONU s’interroge sur la provenance de certaines armes d’Al-Qaïda en Libye. Le Courrier des Balkans révèle que “la télévision de la Fédération de Bosnie-Herzégovine (FTV) a rendu publique une lettre du coordinateur du panel d’experts du Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies pour la Libye, Simon Dilloway, au représentant de l’ONU en Serbie, Milan Milanović”. Dans cette lettre, Simon Dilloway demanderait des explications sur la fabrique d’armes de Tehnoremont en Serbie.
Cette entreprise est soupçonnée d’avoir signé un contrat avec Khalid al-Sharif,
le chef adjoint de la branche libyenne d’Al-Qaïda.
Les experts de l’ONU veulent savoir précisément si les engagements figurant sur cet accord
ont été tenus et si des armes ont été expédiées en Libye.

The Criminal Court in the capital Tripoli convicted them of genocidal crimes, including incitement to the killing of peaceful protesters, enlisting mercenaries, and setting up armed militias to quell the anti-Gaddafi uprising. The court also handed 23 other defendants
in the same case jail terms ranging from three years to life imprisonment.

Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for more than four decades, was captured and killed by insurgents in his hometown Sirte in October 2011.
When the protests started in Benghazi on 15 February he had been among the first to demonstrate in Fornaj, and he was arrested.
His younger brother Mohammed told me that ‘he was jailed for two hours or less before his friends and the protesters broke into the police station and freed him.’
When Gaddafi’s forces regained control of Tripoli, Ahmed drove to the Nafusa Mountains a hundred miles south-west of the capital to try to join the rebels there, but they didn’t know or trust him so he had to return.
He smuggled weapons and gelignite into Tripoli and became involved in a plot, never put into action, to blow up Al-Saadi Gaddafi’s suite in the Radisson.
Mohammed said Ahmed felt bad that he’d spent much of the revolution making money and, despite his best efforts, had never actually fought. He went to Sirte, where Gaddafi’s forces were making a last stand, and joined a militia group from Misrata.
He had no military experience, as far as I know, but he didn’t flinch during bombardments and was stoical when he was caught in an ambush and wounded by shrapnel from a mortar bomb, and the militiamen were impressed.
On 8 October his commander told Ahmed to take a squad of five or six men to hunt for snipers who had killed a number of rebel fighters.
He was shot dead by one of them a few hours later.Ahmed Abdullah al-Ghadamsi

Since the fall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011, Libya’s government and institutions have struggled to hold the country together. The justice system, in particular, has become a symbol of all that’s wrong with post-Arab Spring Libya.
http://theconversation.com/how-libya-became-the-international-criminal-courts-latest-failure-45389
A video has emerged showing one of Gaddafi’s sons, Saadi, apparently being tortured in jail – this after a Tripoli court sentenced Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi to death in absentia (he remains in jail in Zintan, held by a militia “government” that rejects the administration in Tripoli).
He was condemned to die along with former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi and eight other members of the old regime, who are being held by the Tripoli authorities.
In its decision on al-Senussi, the ICC interpreted its role in a quite a limited way. It decided that it can only take a lack of judicial impartiality into account where it’s part of a deliberate effort to help the accused evade justice, rather than simply a fact of a flawed justice system.
So by allowing al-Senussi’s trial to continue in Libya despite concerns about the fairness of the process, the ICC has made itself complicit in the resulting sentence.
Some might argue that complementarity means the ICC just can’t fulfil the same moral function as other tribunals. I disagree; the reference to “due process” in the complementarity clause is perfectly ambiguous. It certainly leaves room for the Court to take fair trial considerations into account when it decides whether a case is admissible.
Instead, it’s given its implicit consent for al-Senussi’s death sentence after a deeply flawed trial – another strike against its already tattered reputation.

In the case of Ahmed Ibrahim and Walid Abdul-Qader, these are the first death sentences to be handed down by the new post-Qaddafi judiciary system in a court where the defendants were present. In June, the Misrata court sentenced three men to death for the killing in 2011 of two people in a brawl at Sirte’s Ibn Sina Hospital.
Wed, July 31, 2013 A judge in Misrata, one of the hardest hit cities during the war, found Ahmed Ibrahim guilty of inciting residents in Muammar Gaddafi's home town of Sirte to form armed gangs and fight the rebels that were seeking to overthrow the Libyan dictator.
ReplyDeleteIbrahim also was convicted of spreading false news through the local radio station there and terrorising and demoralising the public.
The judge also found him guilty of killing a man named Moftah Sadiq el-Sofrani after kidnapping him from a hospital, as well as giving orders to kidnap and kill five other people from the same family.
The el-Sofrani family's lawyer, Salim Dans, said that the ruling will be sent to Libya's Supreme Court,
which will either accept the initial sentencing or accept an appeal, if filed.
According to Libyan law, Ibrahim would be executed by a firing squad.
No time frame was given.
The same court sentenced security official Mansour Al-Daw Gaddafi to death for his role in the civil war several days ago, according to Nasser Jibril, a journalist in Misrata who attended both trials.The security chief belongs to the Gaddafi family and had headed one of Libya's most-hated security bodies called the Popular Guard.

On the morning of July 28, hours before the rebel assault got underway, NATO forces followed through on the promise to conduct air strikes against Ghazaya and Takut,
as rebel leaders refused to send their troops in to battle without NATO’s prior ‘softening up’
of the towns with heavy bombardment.
Rebel dependence on NATO forces is a notable development when compared to their original policy of absolutist non-interventionism that dominated at the war’s outset in February.
However, support from the Libyan rebel’s Arab allies in the Gulf are also seen in Nalut
as Qatari and Emirati officials vie for influence among the rebels, including a Qatari government representative
escorting Jalal al-Digheily, the National Transitional Council's civilian Defense Minister, on a tour of front line towns.
Five months on, not only are opposition forces in need of Western air power, but also of arms, ammunition, and other types of support, most notably from the tiny Gulf emirate of Qatar.
After their initial success in this offensive, which combined hi-tech Western air support with crude artillery and locally fashioned ‘technical’ fighting trucks, for the time being the Amazigh and Arab rebels of Western Libya have secured for themselves
a crucial Tunisian lifeline as well as newfound confidence.

An international commission of inquiry, launched by the U.N. Human Rights Council, is already investigating killings, torture and other crimes in Libya.
Colville said he expected that the team,
now headed by former ICC President Philippe Kirsch, would look into the circumstances
of Gaddafi's death and make recommendations about the need for either a full national or international probe.
“If the NTC fails to investigate this crime it will signal that those who fought against Gaddafi can do anything without fear of prosecution,” he said.

Impunity was a serious problem. The scarcely functioning criminal courts struggled to try abusive Qadhafi-era officials, but generally skirted the pressing problem of abuses during the year by post-Qadhafi militias, in part because of militia intimidation of judges. When authorities did attempt to conduct trials, threats and acts of violence often influenced and curtailed judicial proceedings. Aside from adopting but not yet implementing legislation to provide a new legal framework and sponsoring dialogues on its implementation throughout the country, the government did not take concrete steps by year's end to advance transitional justice. There were rare investigations and still fewer prosecutions of those believed to have committed abuses.

The accountant brought out a photograph of the old Libyan flag, which predates Muammar Gaddafi's seizure of power in a 1969 coup. The red-black-and-green flag with its white crescent moon and star is now ubiquitous in the rebel-held city and other parts of Libya.
But in December it was forbidden so a small, easily hidden photograph had to do.
Al Madani then used his mobile phone to play Libya's old national anthem.
The song dates back to the country's independence in 1951 and was banned after Gaddafi seized power. None of the men present had ever heard it before."We spent the rest of the evening talking about the unrest in Tunisia," al Sahli says, "and about what Libya would be like without Gaddafi."

The rebels now have two "Operation Rooms," one in Benghazi and one in Nafusa.
The people manning the command centers speak good English and have local mobile telephones and satellite phones. The phones enable the rebels and NATO to coordinate their efforts, which is why the Jadu Brigade is now waiting on the road to Tripoli.
A barracks housing the elite unit headed by Gadhafi's son Khamis is on the other side of the bridge. Uraibi's group tried to capture the Khamis positions at first, but then they decided to call the Operation Room and give the staff their coordinates.

Abusahmain appointed Sheikh Shaban Masoud Ahdieh - one of the rebel leaders who worked with NATO forces in 2011 to attack the regime’s bases - as head of the Operations Room, which numbers some 7,000 fighters.
But Ahdieh is also a radical Islamic leader who, according to Libyan reports, was the right-hand man of Abu Anas al-Libi, an Al-Qaida leader apprehended by special American forces at the beginning of October. While the speaker of the parliament has subsequently decided to appoint someone else to head the Operations Room, it seems that, at least for now, the militia continues to take orders from its previous leader.

Combined with the vaguely defined separation of powers
between the GNC and the government, this has encouraged the GNC to act as a counterweight to the government as a whole, and seize powers including the right to decide
appointments to key positions such as the central bank governor, the army chief of staff, or the general prosecutor.

U.S. and Libyan officials confirmed Monday that two U.S. fighter planes dropped 225 kilogram bombs in Libya, targeting a former North African al-Qaida chief.
These were the first American airstrikes in Libya since the 2011 uprising against leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Omar Belmokhtar’s katiba of Benghazi also occupies a special place in the international jihadist organisational chart, which is still under the supervision of Azouz and of Al-Issaoui. It has gathered weapons for Syria since 2011.
ReplyDeleteIn June 2012, it opened another supply route, this one in the direction of Mali.
Donations however do not come only from Libya.
During the taking of the Syrian city of Raqaa by Jabhat Al-Nusra,
the organisation transferred half of the gold found on-site to AQIM. This transfer occurred thanks to the Omar Belmokhtar brigade, which “converted” the cache into stocks of weapons, of which Katiba 315 took possession in Oubari in summer 2012.
This equipment (ZU-23, Dushka, RPG29, but also SAM-7 and light weapons) was in part hidden in the Libyan desert. The rest was sent to AQIM fighters in Mali.
In early 2013, during negotiations concerning the protection of the oil fields, the Zintan brigades informed the Toubous that the brigade 315 was receiving a regular influx of equipment and of ammunition from the remaining members of the Libyan Supreme Security Committee, most of whom are Salafist, with the consent of the local council in Misrata.
A large portion of these weapons were diverted from their final destination and remained in Libya, under the control of the men of Katiba 315, who wanted to set up camps in the Toubou region, by force if necessary. This information is corroborated by several skirmishes between Toubou units of Cherfadine and the Touareg of Katiba 315, which occurred in July, August and September 2013 east of the Salvador Pass.

Possibly one of the reasons IS has not so far appeared in southern Libya is that it is within the bailiwick of Mokhtar Belmokhtar also known as Khaled Abou El Abbas or Laaouar, Algerian terrorist of the Chaamba tribe, leader of the group Al-Murabitoun, sometime Al-Qaeda Amir and kidnapper, smuggler and weapons dealer. Mokhtar Belmokhtar has gone suspiciously quiet recently. John Oakes 26th April 2015

Conversely, the HOR's opponents in Tripoli -- the Islamist and hardline-revolutionary-controlled General National Congress (GNC) and the militia alliance known as "Operation Libya Dawn" -- are downplaying the threat.
For example, the prime minister in Tripoli, Omar al-Hassi, and the Libyan Revolutionaries Operations Room militia have denied an ISIS connection to the January 27 attack on Tripoli's Corinthia Hotel.

I was with the 17 February Martyrs.
Another rebel group had entered the district already and we were behind them. Snipers were shooting at us from a building ahead, and once we got to Humdorman, at the heart of Abu Salim, we encountered heavy resistance from the remains of Gaddafi’s forces.
The rebels, divided into groups, occupied the whole area.

Three years after the Libyan revolution and the subsequent downfall of its dictator Muammar Qaddafi, the country has descended further into chaos and insecurity.
Rebel militias, radical Islamists and former Qaddafi commander Khalifa Haftar are among the different groups vying for power and oil wealth, creating a vacuum in which violence and militancy reign supreme.

Libya helps bankroll Syrian opposition movement
ReplyDeleteCAIRO — The top financer of the Syrian opposition is no Arabian Peninsula oil kingdom or cloak-and-dagger Western spy outfit, but struggling, war-ravaged Libya, which is itself recovering from a devastating civil conflict.
According to a budget released by the Syrian National Council and posted to its Web site
late Sunday,
the Libyan government contributed $20.3 million of the $40.4 million
that the opposition umbrella group has amassed since its creation in October 2011.
Qatar gave $15 million, and the United Arab Emirates contributed $5 million, according to the document.
Unlike Qatar and the UAE, which are absolute monarchies, Libya has embarked on a rocky path toward democracy and shares an ideological vision with Syrian revolutionaries.

Al-Harati, from Firhouse in Dublin, has fought in multiple countries, including Libya and Syria, as part of revolutionary brigades : elected mayor of Libyan capital Tripoli
29 August 2015
Controversy as Central Tripoli fires “incompetent” mayor, appoints new one
The capital’s Central Tripoli district elected a new mayor on Thursday, replacing outgoing Mahdi al-Harati, who was fired amid accusations of incompetence.
Abdulrauf Beitelmal,
an engineer by trade, was elected by only five out of the nine municipal councillors, the minimum required to elect a mayor, Libya Herald reported.
The council – including Beitelmal – convened on 20 August to withdraw confidence in Irish-Libyan Harati, a one time inhabitant of Dublin and former rebel commander in the 2011 NATO-backed revolt that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
Appointed in August last year, Harati was accused of failing to show up for work and for regularly leaving the country, when the city was hit by food, petrol and power shortages at the height of the fighting last summer.
During some of the heaviest points in the clashes which erupted just before he was elected, Harati allegedly flew to Europe, angering Tripoli residents by posting photos of his travels on his social media accounts.
There are also accusations of fraud against the former mayor. According to a November 2011 email sent by global intelligence company Strafor and published by WikiLeaks, Harati received a €200,000 pay off ($230,000) to leave the National Transitional Council.
Money which was eventually stolen from his house in Dublin, according to the email.
