2/2The SAME DAY Italy’s Chamber renews the 2017 MoU with Libya.
The message is obscene:more interceptions → detention → torture → more funding.

1/2Less than l24h: Libya’s special maritime untis and Unit 166 condutced 4 interceptions near Tobruk—90+60+50+36 = 236 people,many children,mostly Sudanese.

2/2 these raids intensify ahead of EU deal renewals—militias flexing power to grab their cut for the externalization of Europe’s merciless border regime. Stop funding abuse. Demand accountability.

1/2Outrage in #Sabratha: “security” forces + militias stormed homes,burst into families’s bedrooms, terrified children,and arrested Sudanese families fleeing war some kids held in unfit sites,others disappeared.Illegal.
Immoral.

Let's cut through the right-wing lies:organise a Global Survivors Strike.
One day without migrants,2 days & they collapse.At the same time, lets expose +boycott the migration industry the companies making money from our pain.

Reality is more complex. Radaa remains a key power broker,with rumours of free passage for its leader.
Still,for Tripoli’s people this may mean a pause a chance to breathe after weeks of escalation and civil war preparations by rival armed groups

2/
Terms include: militias to withdraw from #Tripoli, only one HQ per force,Public Prosecutor to manage detainees & authorize arrests.
Judicial and immigration Police commander replaced by consensual figure.On paper:centralization, legality,end of militia dominance.

#Libya
Significant expansion has been observed this year at the Tariq Bin Zeyad headquarters in #Benghazi,with four new warehouses,barracks,admin buildings,and other facilities under construction.
Tariq Bin Zeyad is among the largest & most influential armed groups within the LNA.

🚨353 days of peaceful protest in Niger demanding basic needs for kids.Instead of support,6 people arrested for seeking visibility.
For Gaza,under genocide,our hands are tied.But in #Agadez we can act yet NGOs & activists stay silent.
Wake up. Support people now.

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Sep 10

🚨After 2 drone attacks on #Soumud Flotilla,Tunisians are mobilizing. Buses from across the country head to Sidi Boussid in solidarity.
FromTunis to #Gaza: we won't stay silent.Tunisia's history of incredible support for #Palestine continues.

10 years since Alan Kurdi.3,500 children dead in the Med since.Europe still treats seeking safety as a crime.Deals with Libya,Tunisia,pushbacks, criminalizing rescue this is state-led killing.
Rest in power,Alan.Shame on those responsible.
#Alan_Kurdi #BordersKill

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Sep 1

🚨Another day,another crime called “rescue.”Yesterday
#Tobruk sc Coast Guard #intercepted 37Sudanese people including children.After being forced back to Libya,they were dumped into the Bab al-Zeitoun detention center.This is not protection.Its daily machinery of abuse.

#Libya
#Tripoli on edge:Radaa militia faces off with 444th units as armored convoys flood the capital.With the GNU ultimatum hours from expiring & #Haftar’s coalition poised to exploit any weakness,the risk of a wider war is real.
The city is bracing for catastrophe

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 29

2/2Context:Signs of wider escalation in Tripoli.Recent high-level moves reports of a Turkish intel visit to Benghazi,and today #Haftar’s son visit to Moscow suggest the east is watching the west closely.A push from Haftar’s side can't be ruled out.
Stay safe

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 29

1/2 #Libya War is coming to Tripoli:Radaa Force leaders+Souq AlJuma notables have rejected Dabaiba’s terms to hand over the #Mitigabase.Radaa has declared a state of emergency and mobilized allies.Friends in #Tripoli stay safe,avoid hot areas.The next hours may bring clashes civilians will pay again

🔴 Another Mediterranean-style tragedy off #Mauritania:
🚨144 people dead,only 16 survivors.
🚨40 bodies recovered so far.
A pirogue left from Gambia, drowned by EU #externalization policies that block safe routes and criminalize movement.Their blood is on Europe’s hands.

🚨340 days of protest. 340 days of silence.🚨
Refugees in #Agadez,Niger demand food,water,protection, a future.We were Ignored until the UN & a white voice spoke.
Now 6 refugee activists are arrested & held incommunicado.
We demand their release

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 22

🚨 334 DAYS of protest 🚨
Refugees in Agadez have been ignored for almost a YEAR.
Now @UNHCRNiger has even cut off FOOD.Children + families are left hungry, abandoned, and silenced.This is not “protection.” It’s cruelty.Enough waiting. Act NOW.

2/2Internal Security, Deterrence Agency,DCIM, Al-Assa,Bir al-Ghanam, Al-Kufra,Abu Salim,all named by the UN.
These are not rogue actors.They are the system.
Every EU🇪🇺 deal with Libya sustains this violence. Survivors spoke.The UN confirmed.
Who will act?

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 18

1/2🚨UN report places #Libya at the center of conflict-related sexual violence.
22 confirmed cases:20 migrant women + 2Libyan girls.
Crimes: rape,sexual exploitation,trafficking.
Perpetrators:state agencies and detention centers Europe partners with for "migration control."

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 17

2/2And yet,Europe keeps these militias alivefunding them under the banner of "migration control."Their legitimacy doesn´t come from Libyans, but from EU border regimes.The price? Democracy strangled, people silenced, repression rewarded. #Migration #HumanRights

Jihed @brirmijihed.bsky.social · Aug 17

1/2Libya's municipal elections are under attack: buildings burned,commissions assaulted,voters threatened. Haftar’s forces & militias crush even the smallest idea of choice in the east.Writing your name on a ballot has become an unforgivable crime. #Libya #Elections

2/2
Just last week Italy detained Seabird aircraft( @en.sea-watch.org)
Instead of saving lives, they target rescue assets & fund militias — making journeys deadlier.
Every death is political. Every delay in rescue is a choice.
