Last week Libya’s Internal Security Agency launched a campaign in the city of Tripoli to arrest Libyan citizens and foreigners accused of apostasy from Islam and preaching Christianity. The security agency did not specify the number of those arrested and refrained from publishing their names, stating only their initials. On April 6, he reported that he was apprehended by the Internal Security Agency on charges of converting to Christianity. Open Doors reported that the current number of Christians in Libya is 35,400 (0.5% of the population).

He added that the challenge of competition for control of the country between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces aims to ensure security for its system. Lenfranqui pointed out that Sudan found itself in a special situation, where there are in fact two separate armed forces with separate leadership structures and different political and economic interests. The Italian expert added that after the fall of Omar al-Bashir in 2019, both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces put their differences aside to protect their common interests.

Since 2015, over 19,000 people have been shot and wounded or killed in mass shootings. Each shooter’s life story is unique, yet the growing number of mass shootings suggests a general trend that transcends personal details. I took part in a recent study carried out in the aftermath of the 2016 Orlando mass shooting. Yet even someone who really really wants to feel significant is not necessarily going to carry out a mass shooting. They together combine into a toxic mixture, driving a person to carry out a mass shooting.

Now: in 2017, there was a catastrophic collapse of Libya’s entire human smuggling industry. I understand that your line of work – as a researcher into North Africa’s human smuggling networks – has also placed you in direct contact with at least some of these people. And the result – as clearly shown by the data – was that the entire Libyan network of human smuggling simply collapsed: almost literally, from one day to the next. Nonetheless, it certainly had a significant ‘chilling effect’, on Libya’s human smuggling network as a whole. In other words, we have to REALLY go after the criminals who actually run those human smuggling operations.

For years, Libyan authorities and various armed groups around the country have restricted the ability of nongovernmental groups and their staff members to operate, Human Rights Watch said. The Fact-Finding Mission said the GNU authorities did not give them access to detention facilities anywhere in Libya during their two-year mandate. Several members of nongovernmental organizations told Human Rights Watch that their foreign employees had been unable to obtain entry visas since the end of 2022. These included international humanitarian and human rights organizations, and implementing partners of the UN in Libya. A slew of vaguely worded laws governing expression, assembly, association, cybercrime, and crimes against the state severely restricts nongovernmental organizations in Libya.

Human rights organisations are calling on the EU to stop cooperation with Tunisia on migration control, insisting the north African state should not be considered safe. In a statement on Monday, the organisations called on the EU to provide safe routes for people wanting to leave Tunisia and stop border control funding to the country. “We ask the authorities of the European Union and its member states to stop their cooperation with Tunisian authorities on migration control. We also ask to stop their financial and technical support to the Tunisian Coast Guard, and provide safe routes for all,” the organisations said. They insisted that disembarkation in Tunisia of people rescued at sea violates international human rights and maritime law.
