1/3 UNSMIL is concerned by the death of former Minister of Defense, Al-Mahdi Al-Barghathi, in Benghazi. This follows Al-Barghathi’s reported arrest by authorities on 7 October with dozens of others, including family members.
🇵🇸 - quelques éléments à chaud pour répondre aux nombreuses questions qui nous sont posées depuis ce matin.
Un fil qui sera complété et amendé au fur et à mesure.
◾️ #RaoufFarrah is sentenced by the Court of Constantine #Algeria to 2 years in prison and 200,000 DA fine
◾️ His father Sebti Farrah recieved a 1 year suspended prison sentence and 50.000 DA fine
◾️ An appeal will be made
- Kouceila Zerguine, lawyer
#FreeRaoufFarrah
#RaoufFarrah’s detention has reportedly nothing to do with Bouaroui’s case.
The researcher is accused instead of ‘receiving foreign funds with the aim to carry out prejudicial acts against public order’ …. as well as ‘publication of classified information on internet’.
To end the year with a positive note:
Despite the political stalemate and all prevailing tensions, #2021 stands out as the only Gregorian year without major clashes in #Libya since 2011, and perhaps the least bloody.

First-class article. Many analysts are increasingly writing on the LNA/LAAF. Far fewer have actually gone to #Benghazi or #Barqa more broadly to interview active LAAF personnel and "support forces." @Ryanlazzi is one of them. #Libya.
Enjoying this special “#Libya” issue of #MoyenOrientQuaterly, featuring a great article by @Ryanlazzi on the #LNA over the last 7 years.
I recommend the article, by a one of the most robust scholars of #Barqa & the #LNA’s inner workings.
