Libyan parliament declares Zliten “devastated city” over groundwater crisis
Libya’s House of Representative declared Zliten a “devastated city” today due to the distraction caused by rising groundwater levels. This came during a parliamentary today in Benghazi, headed by the First Deputy Speaker of the House, Fawzi Al-Nuwairi. The city of Zliten, located in western Libya, has been experiencing a strange phenomenon for years: groundwater gushing upwards to damage buildings and agricultural land. Observers believe that the artificial river has increased the groundwater reserves on the coast, which caused cracks in the earth’s layers. Mostafa Al-Bahbah, head of the Crisis and Emergency Management Committee in Zliten Municipality, confirmed that the crisis of rising groundwater levels in some areas in Zliten Municipality was still ongoing and that some families had left their homes because of this problem.

From The Past Pages Of Dawn: 1974: Fifty Years Ago: Commandos to Libya
This was possible through the joint efforts of the Federal Government, the Ambassadors of Egypt, Libya and Syria, and the two PLO representatives in Karachi who had a hectic day having three full-round talks with the armed men. …Through their persuasions, the commandos stepped down from their original demand of immediate unconditional release of the two condemned Palestinian commandos by the Greek Government and reconciled themselves to the commutation of their death sentence. … The armed men left the Greek ship, m.v. “Vori”, for the Karachi Civil Airport at 10-45 p.m., and boarded a PIA Boeing-707 jet chartered by the Pakistan Government … “for its westward journey”. From the port to the airport, each commando shared the car separately with the three Arab envoys.

In Libya, human traffickers turn to TikTok to promote services
February 4, 2024TRIPOLI, Libya — TikTok has transformed from a borderless platform into a tool used to promote migration across boundaries. In Libya, traffickers have exploited the platform's wide reach and lack of proper oversight to promote illegal activities, and TikTok has become a haven for human traffickers preying on vulnerable migrants. With a surge in the number of refugees and illegal migrants in the country, smugglers have turned to TikTok to promote their services and entice new victims. Shocking scenesOmar al-Hamali, a 22-year-old Libyan who escaped to Germany a few months ago after securing a journey through TikTok, told Al-Monitor via WhatsApp, “Libyans will always find a way to leave Libya. We faced beatings and recklessness from armed men who worked with the smuggler, but today I've started a new life.”

Opinion: US bombing of Yemen will be a negative on the region
The United States and its Western Allies began bombing Yemen on January 12th of this year. One of the poorest countries in the world, in what the United States called a defensive action against the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia. The United States’ strategy of bombing nations to suppress terrorist groups has proven to be ineffective in most contemporary bombing campaigns. When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban would take over the entire country within a year of the United States’ withdrawal. In Libya, the country has descended into multiple civil wars, with no stable governance and various factions competing for power.
