US targets Russian mercenary group over religious freedom
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Friday placed a well-known Russian paramilitary organization on a list of religious freedom violators alongside a number of notorious terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced he had designated the Wagner Group as an “entity of particular concern" for its activities in the Central African Republic. Friday's designation does not immediately carry U.S. sanctions but opens up those targeted to potential penalties for violations of religious freedom. The Wagner Group and the other “entities of particular concern” are already subject to an array of U.S. sanctions. All of those countries, which Blinken said have “engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom,” have been on the list previously.

Libya’s democracy needs meaningful international support
Peace negotiations can be a major source of frustration, nowhere more so than in the Arab region. When it comes to regional peace negotiations, the only international mechanism appears to be the United Nations-appointed mediatorWhen it comes to regional peace negotiations, the international framework is characterized first by a lack of meaningful institutional and political support from foreign powers involved in the relevant conflict. The only international mechanism available appears to be the United Nations-appointed mediator and a handful of team members to run the process. Since 2011, Libya’s move towards peace has been impeded by a range of factors, including a failure to establish a coherent post-war security framework. By the end of the third Cairo meeting, the two sides reached agreement on virtually all aspects of the constitution.

Italy's rightist govt welcomes migrants airlifted from Libya
ROME (Reuters) - Italy welcomed on Wednesday 114 migrants from Libya as part of a 'humanitarian corridor' organised by Christian charities, with members of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's rightist administration saying they supported legal migration channels. The migrants landed at Rome's Fiumicino airport weeks after a furious spat between Italy and France, triggered by Rome's refusal to take in a charity-run migrant rescue boat with more than 200 people onboard. "We say no to human smugglers and yes to a path that leads to integration. This compares with almost 95,000 boat migrants who have arrived in Italy from north Africa in the year to date, up from around 63,000 in the same period of 2021, interior ministry data shows. According to the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR), more than 2 million people are seeking asylum in safe countries.

Airbus to settle Libya, Kazakhstan bribery probe with fine
The new settlement comes as an extension to a deal struck with prosecutors in 2020, which included record fines against the planemaker. Thanking the prosecutors and the judicial process, Airbus lawyer Gilles August told the court: "Today Airbus operates with the strictest integrity." The French part of the 2020 settlement, amounting to 2.1 billion euros, cited corruption of foreign officials, fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors said Airbus' unlawful dealings in Libya and Kazakhstan had still been under investigation and thus were not included in the 2020 settlement. In notes with its quarterly results last month, Airbus repeated it was co-operating fully with French authorities in the investigations related to Kazakhstan and Libya, but both Airbus and prosecutors had so far declined to comment on details.
