Japan argues that the war in Ukraine has destabilised the world, and has invited NATO into the Indo-Pacific to deter China. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has acted as an extension of American power. Asians want the US present to balance China’s power, but that doesn’t mean they want a European military alliance operating in their region. NATO’s growing presence in the Pacific evokes a painful history that the western world has never confronted or fully acknowledged. Its presence in the Indo-Pacific can easily be construed as a new attempt to reassert western military domination of the region.

BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Eastern Libyan forces have expelled thousands of Egyptians who were in Libya illegally in recent days, deporting them to Egypt on foot across the land border, an Egyptian security source and an eastern Libyan security source said. The Libyan security source said 4,000 migrants had been found during raids on people traffickers following a shootout between security forces and smugglers and they were all deported. The Egyptian security source said only about 2,200 of the 4,000 migrants who were found by Libyan security forces were there illegally and they were the only ones deported.

The Libyan source said security forces had destroyed a harbour used by people smugglers.
