Benghazi, Libya — The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that the ten humanitarian volunteers from the Global Sumud Land Convoy, unlawfully kidnapped and held as political hostages by the Haftar-affiliated Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF) for over a month, have finally been released. While we welcome their safety, let this be absolutely clear: there will be no quiet exit, no amnesia, and no normalization of the lawless brutality inflicted upon these peaceful human rights defenders. The volunteers, including medical doctors, educators, and journalists, were intercepted in a calculated act of state-sponsored kidnapping.

Three weeks after being kidnapped by the Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF), 10 of 11 volunteers of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud land convoy remain unlawfully detained in an immigration facility in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi. The Global Sumud Flotilla coalition announced that Mehdi Bouzguenda (from Tunisia), was the only volunteer to be released and return to his country on Sunday, June 7. The fate of the remaining 10 activists is still uncertain. Refusing both food and water, their ”dry” hunger strike has continued for around 10 days, while they remain barred from communicating with the outside world. At this stage, the “dry” hunger strike is reportedly life threatening.

Benghazi, Libya – Eleven unarmed civilian volunteers, comprised of doctors and humanitarians, remain unlawfully detained in Libya. They are part of the Global Sumud Land Convoy, a peaceful humanitarian mission of 230 participants from 21 countries carrying ambulances, medicine, and mobile homes overland to break the siege on Gaza. The eleven have been subjected to arbitrary detention, severed communications, and sustained psychological pressure. This is a textbook case of arbitrary detention under international human rights law, violating Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and Articles 6 and 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.

The convoy of 230 participants from more than 20 countries, including doctors, engineers, educators, lawyers and ecobuilders, alongside 7 ambulances, 20 mobile homes, and 10 aid trucks loaded with life-saving supplies and was intended for the besieged civilian population of Gaza.

Files Expose Britain’s Secret D-Notice Censorship Regime

A new trove of documents obtained by The Grayzone through freedom of information (FOI) requests provide unprecedented insight into Britain’s little-known military and intelligence censorship board. The contents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories. The body imposes what are known as D-Notices, gag-orders systematically suppressing information available to the public.

How USAID And The Global Fragility Act Sustain US Imperialism In Libya

November 4, 2024 Tunde Osazua, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, Global Fragility Act (GFA), Libya, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), US Imperialism

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is presented as an agency to assist or "aid" in the positive development of Libya—and other African states—but in reality supports the same imperialist agenda that drove the 2011 military assault that destroyed Libya’s social and political fabric. The regime change operation in Libya, especially following the 2011 NATO overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, left the country in a state of perpetual chaos and factionalism. This instability serves as fertile ground for the expansion of U.S. influence through soft power mechanisms like the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which, despite its humanitarian facade, works in concert with broader U.S. imperial objectives, as outlined in the Global Fragility Act (GFA), through which Libya is a “priority partner” country.

Israel’s Goal Of Expelling Palestinians From Gaza Is Closer To Reality

January 11, 2024 Jessica Buxbaum, MintPress News. Educate! Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Libya, Palestine, Paraguay, Wars and Militarism

Once considered a fringe pipe dream, the once taboo idea of Israelis recolonizing portions of Gaza has been reinvigorated after Hamas’ October 7 attack and the subsequent Israeli war on the embattled Palestinian territory, which has killed more than 22,000 Palestinians, internally displaced more than 1.9 million, and reduced the majority of the Strip into rubble. Just as 2024 began, Israeli politicians renewed calls to recolonize Gaza, and recent remarks from Israeli lawmakers coupled with a new settler-colonist campaign suggest that Israeli annexation of the beleaguered Palestinian territory has been adopted as official government policy.

Mali Warns Against Repeat Of NATO’s Libyan War In Niger

France’s ambassador to Niger, Sylvain Itté, left Niamey early on September 27, three days after Paris announced that it would also withdraw its 1,500 troops from the West African country by the end of the year. Niger has joined its regional neighbors, Mali and Burkina Faso, in expelling French troops from its soil. The three countries have since forged a pact for collective defense and mutual cooperation, known as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), amid rising attacks by armed groups in the region. The AES was formed just days before the 78th session of the United National General Assembly.

Why Barack Obama Can’t Shut Up

If it can be said that one person is responsible for the awful death toll from the recent flooding in eastern Libya, Barack Obama should be named as the culprit. If nothing else, Obama certainly has a lot of nerve. The person who was determined to destroy the Libyan state did just that. His personal hench lady, aka Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, carried out the dirty work. Along with allies like the UK and France, she made the case for a “no fly” zone, which prevented Libya’s army from being protected by its air force. For good measure she whipped up a phony human rights case, complete with claims about troops taking viagra in order to commit mass rapes.

Is This The End Of French Neo-Colonialism In Africa?

In Bamako, Mali, on September 16, the governments of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger created the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Colonel Assimi Goïta, the head of the transitional government of Mali, wrote that the Liptako-Gourma Charter which created the AES would establish “an architecture of collective defense and mutual assistance for the benefit of our populations.” The hunger for such regional cooperation goes back to the period when France ended its colonial rule. Between 1958 and 1963, Ghana and Guinea were part of the Union of African States, which was to have been the seed for wider pan-African unity. Mali was a member as well between 1961 and 1963.

NATO Destroyed Libya In 2011; Storm Daniel Came To Sweep Up The Remains

Three days before the Abu Mansur and Al Bilad dams collapsed in Wadi Derna, Libya, on the night of September 10, the poet Mustafa al-Trabelsi participated in a discussion at the Derna House of Culture about the neglect of basic infrastructure in his city. At the meeting, al-Trabelsi warned about the poor condition of the dams. As he wrote on Facebook that same day, over the past decade his beloved city has been ‘exposed to whipping and bombing, and then it was enclosed by a wall that had no door, leaving it shrouded in fear and depression’. Then, Storm Daniel picked up off the Mediterranean coast, dragged itself into Libya, and broke the dams. CCTV camera footage in the city’s Maghar neighbourhood showed the rapid advance of the floodwaters, powerful enough to destroy buildings and crush lives. A reported 70% of infrastructure and 95% of educational institutions have been damaged in the flood-affected areas. As of Wednesday 20 September, an estimated 4,000 to 11,000 people have died in the flood – among them the poet Mustafa al-Trabelsi, whose warnings over the years went unheeded – and another 10,000 are missing.

Libya’s Disastrous Flooding… Causes And Hope?

On the 11th of September, small towns and cities in eastern Libya (Sousa, Baida, and Batta) experienced heavy rains and flooding, leading to some infrastructural and material damage. However, the big catastrophe was in the city of Darna which houses more than 100,000 inhabitants and is located by a valley leading directly from the mountains. The two dams that control the flow of the water that seeps through the city’s valley collapsed at around 2:00 a.m., leading to a complete blackout and mass flooding. Cars, 10-story apartments, and houses were washed away with their residents, leading to a humanitarian catastrophe with more than 10,000 dead and 11,000 missing.

Humanitarian Imperialism Created The Libyan Nightmare

September 19, 2023 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Failed State, Gaddafi, Hillary Clinton, Libya, NATO, US Imperialism

"We came, we saw, he died,” Hillary Clinton famously quipped when Muammar Gaddafi, after seven months of U.S. and NATO bombing, was overthrown in 2011 and killed by a mob who sodomized him with a bayonet. But Gaddafi would not be the only one to die. Libya, once the most prosperous and one of the most stable countries in Africa, a country with free healthcare and education, the right for all citizens to a home, subsidized electricity, water and gasoline, along with the lowest infant mortality rate and highest life expectancy on the continent, along with one of the highest literacy rates, swiftly fragmented into warring factions.
