  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 10 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 11 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 11 hours ago

“Haftar needs Wagner. Furthermore, while he's hosting them in Libya, [Wagner] can use its position to prop up operations in Syria, Sudan and elsewhere. It's a network. It's not just military support, either. They're using their position in eastern Libya to transport [illegal narcotic] Captagon from Syria, shift gold to evade sanctions, as well as help traffic migrants from southern Africa and as far away as Bangladesh. Libya is a hugely profitable area for Wagner.”

“Dbeibah needs to go and he knows that he's been under pressure in the last couple of weeks. Dbeibah is squarely responsible for the meeting [between Foreign Minister Najla al-Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen]. The PM had met with the Israeli Mossad even before speaking to Burns, and continued to do so with frequency. The US should have better sense than trying to normalise a relationship between Libya and Israel.”

“There are ongoing clashes. We can hear sporadic gunfire every 10-15 minutes. The Libyan Red Crescent said it has been able to evacuate dozens of families from the site of the clashes. People are suffering due to the lack of accountability towards powerful armed groups here in Tripoli. Both of these groups … are under the umbrella of the security apparatus. They are funded by the Libyan government.”

“Urban warfare has its own logic, it's harmful both to civilian infrastructure and to people, so even if it isn't a long war, this conflict will be very destructive as we have already seen. The fighting could strengthen Haftar and those close to him. They stand to benefit from western Libya divisions and have a better negotiating position once the dust settles.”

“What we need to understand is that in Libya, through a previous power-sharing agreement, there are two legislative houses. There's the parliament based in eastern Libya, and there's the high council of state in the west. The two legislative bodies are supposed to agree on a new government to replace the unity government of Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibeh. But the appointment of Bashagha [Fathi Bashagha] raised eyebrows regarding the transparency of the process. There was a lot of scepticism with regards to how transparent the vote was and how legitimate it was. Even the UN support mission voiced concerns that the vote of confidence in Bashagha was flawed. A lot of people see Bashagha as a traitor, who aligned himself with someone who has destroyed their homes and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. I've been talking to security officials and residents in Tripoli and what they're telling me is really that this was a message to those that are supporting Bashagha: You can't just come to Tripoli and assume power.”

“We affirm that the only solution to the current political impasse is a clear constitutional process on the basis of which elections are held, and in which the Libyan people renew their authority, in a peaceful and transparent manner.”

“The apparent assassination attempt on Dbeibah is a huge setback for Libya's credibility to ensure the safety of its officials and foreign delegates. This is going to have a long-term effect. Senior foreign officials were able in recent years to visit the war-hit country without any incident. Now, with the security forces not able to ensure even the prime minister safety, people might start second guessing whether Libya's security services can protect senior officials.”

“Does Dbaiba, as the Minister of Defense and Prime Minister know that Tripoli is in danger? That the fuse of war in it is about to erupt, and that there are mourning tents that will be erected in its streets? The reason for the war is not an attack by Haftar's army, as he claimed and marketed previously, but because of his failed policies, his adherence to power, and the failure to fulfil his pledges. I ask God to protect our civilians in Tripoli and to take revenge on all those who are still paying the militias and mercenaries who terrorize the people at all times.”

“The HoR [House of Representatives] voted to withdraw confidence from the GNU [Government of National Unity] with 89 votes in favor out of 113 present. This is a major escalation on the part of the HoR at this critical juncture and will add to the confusion and uncertainty.”

“Not holding the elections could gravely deteriorate the situation in the country, could lead to division and conflict. I urge the Libyan actors to join forces and ensure inclusive, free, fair parliamentary and presidential elections, which are to be seen as the essential step in further stabilizing and uniting Libya.”
