Italian activists protest against Italy-Libya agreement over migrants abuse
Italian activists gathered on Saturday in front of the headquarters of the Italy-Libya Chamber of Commerce to demand revocation of their country’s 2017 memorandum with Libya. The activists held a slogan that reads “closed for violation of human rights” at the entrance gate of the Italy-Libya Chamber of Commerce. In 2017, Italy signed the memorandum with Libya for cooperation with the Libyan coastguard, which included the provision of four patrol vessels. The deal empowered the Libyan coastguard to intercept migrant boats at sea and redirect them to Libya, where aid agencies say refugees are abused and tortured. After the protest on Saturday morning, activists announced more actions in many other Italian cities.

Why English audiences have the toughest time with Shakespeare
Thanks to frequently updated translations that dispense with the archaic Renaissance language, foreign audiences often find the Bard easier to follow. In the original opening scene, the Earl of Kent reacts to being exiled by saying: "Sith thus thou wilt appear, Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here." There were howls of protest when the Oregon Shakespeare Company set out to translate his works into contemporary English in 2015 ("The danger to Shakespeare is real," thundered one petition). "English audiences are at a disadvantage because the language has evolved and is more and more distant. "He himself modernized the English language for the Renaissance era."

Haftar: Whoever defeats terrorism must defeat corruption and build secure, stable state
The General Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, addressed a speech Saturday on the 8th anniversary of the popular uprising of Operation Dignity in the neighborhoods of Benghazi on 15 October 2014, against terrorist groups. Haftar said in a speech to the crowds participating in the anniversary, “Let me express my happiness with these joyful images where I see officers from the armed forces with their brothers from the police officers and a group of honorable civilian brothers.”He added, “This honorable image of this joyful scene must inspire the Libyans with feelings of pride and send a strong signal that the rebellious Benghazi, which was targeted by terrorism as its operations room for its crimes, has today become the capital of security, stability, vitality and activity.”LNA Commander saluted the heroes of Operation Dignity, and said, “A salute to the martyrs and wounded heroes of the Epic of Eternal Dignity, and to all those who fought on its side, adhered to it and provided it with support and assistance. Without those heroes, this picture would not have been captured by history.”He continued, “We give good news to the Libyans and assure them that whoever triumphs over terrorism with faith, will, courage, sacrifice and redemption must triumph over corruption, defeat poverty and backwardness, build a secure and stable state, and create a bright present and a prosperous future.”Today, Saturday, Al-Kish Square in Benghazi is witnessing a big celebration of the eighth anniversary of the cohesion of the Libyan people in Benghazi with their armed forces in Operation Dignity against terrorist groups. Before the launch of Operation Dignity, Benghazi used to be a den for terrorist groups that assassinated hundreds of police and military officers and soldiers, in addition to journalists and political activists. Dignity Operation started in May 2014, but it took LNA forces about 5 months to enter Benghazi, when it stormed the city on 15 October and controlled most of its neighborhoods with the support of the people against the terrorist groups.

Grenada successfully negotiates to clear debt arrears owed to Libya
The Government of Grenada successfully negotiated the settlement of US$5 million in longstanding debt arrears owed to the State of Libya. These debts were contracted in the 1980s by the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG). Longstanding unresolved debt arrears to Libya, Algeria, and Trinidad and Tobago have adversely affected Grenada’s credit rating, placing the country in the category of “Selected Default” or “SD.”The Government of Grenada says it will continue to make concerted efforts to resolve the remaining debt arrears to Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago, respectively, as regularisation of these arrears will greatly assist in unlocking the financial resources needed to support government’s transformational agenda. The settlement agreement was signed in Washington, D.C. yesterday by Libya’s Minister of Finance, Dr Khalid Al Mabrouk Abdalla, and Grenada’s Minister of Economic Development, Planning, Tourism, ICT, and the Creative Economy, Lennox Andrews, on behalf of Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Dickon Mitchell. Minister Lennox Andrews is currently in Washington, D.C. attending the 2022 Annual International Monetary Fund (IMF) Meetings.

The new UN envoy to Libya takes office in Tripoli
The new UN envoy to Libya, Abdallah Batili, the Senegalese, took office on Friday in Tripoli, according to the United Nations mission in the country, which suffers from security and political chaos. “I arrived in Tripoli today to begin my duties in my capacity as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to Libya and head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya,” Batelli said in a statement published by the mission in an Arabic version. A senior foreign ministry official has received the ninth UN envoy since 2011, according to local media. The most prominent challenges to the stability of the country are the holding of the presidential and parliamentary elections that were scheduled for December 2021 and then postponed indefinitely due to strong differences on their constitutional basis. Abdullah Batili, who assumed the position that has been vacant since the resignation of his Slovak predecessor Jan Kubis in November 2021, stressed that the priority is to find “a consensual path leading to the organization of comprehensive and credible national elections as soon as possible”, “based on a solid constitutional framework.”He added that “the United Nations is committed to its support for Libya to hold comprehensive presidential and parliamentary elections, as the will of the millions of Libyans who have registered to vote must be respected.”
