The killing of Libyan blogger Khansa al-Mujahid in Tripoli is making waves in international media, putting the spotlight on the persistent lack of rule of law that plagues the country, while the rule of militias suffocates it. (@thenewarab.bsky.social) #Libya /1 www.newarab.com/news/killing...

Today, the first Libyan suspect was surrendered to the ICC since the court opened investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity in Libya in 2011. Khaled "El Bouti" El Hishri was arrested in Germany in July and finally surrendered to the ICC today.

#Tunisia: Harsh sentences were issued in the notorious "conspiracy case" following sessions marred by serious violations. While some defendants were acquitted, other sentences included 45 years in prison. 👉 Tunisian authorities should revert these unjust sentences & release all political detainees.

For The Libya Gazette, I sat down with @andreaterenzio.bsky.social, to discuss how Europe’s outsourcing of migration control to Libya has created a system of abuse across the Mediterranean. Read it here: maghrebi.org?sdm_process_... #Migration #Libya #EU #HumanRights @martinrjay.bsky.social

“Europe has lost control of the very policy it tried to contain.” @andreaterenzio.bsky.social, vice president at the Middle East Institute in Geneva, told me when we spoke about Europe’s decision to outsource migration control to Libya: maghrebi.org/2025/10/07/t... @martinrjay.bsky.social

Today is a day of grief. Absolutely. Those who celebrate violence & suffering are edgelords. We need more people who have internalised this wisdom.

“Political commitments to improve conditions in Libyan detention centres have never been realised because it went against the political interest of both Italy and the EU.” Read my article with @andreaterenzio.bsky.social in this week's Libya Gazette: maghrebi.org?sdm_process_...

I spoke to @eddiemonkman.bsky.social on the failures, human cost, and political consequences of #EU #migration outsourcing policies, since the 2017 Italy-Libya MoU.

'[..] Keir Starmer has suggested that the #UK should look to European – specifically Italian – approaches towards tackling the source of migration flows. However, while #Italy can claim to have reduced overall sea crossings to its territory, its engagement in #Libya offers a cautionary tale.'

Ultimately, Mr. Netanyahu got almost everything he could have hoped from Mr. Trump’s proposal — a demand that Hamas release the hostages immediately and lay down its weapons, without which Israel would have carte blanche to keep pummeling Gaza. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/w...

Monday morning re-up: Yes, there is a threat from Russia. But mischaracterising it and, more to the point, presenting every potential setback as existential for NATO/the West risks actually inflaming the problem and encouraging Putin to push harder

Our investigation is now public. It documents how, between Jan 2024 and July 2025, over 2,600 people seeking aid were killed and 14,576 others injured in Gaza. That’s 4% of all deaths and nearly 10% of all wounded from Israel’s war in Gaza.

Instead than with more agreements with authoritarian & criminal leaders in #Libya, illegal migration strategies would benefit from serious stabilization efforts in North Africa. More respect of rule of law and human rights.
