#Libya

A new ceasefire agreement is announced between #GNA and #LNA

Too early to be optimistic, because, as usual, devil in the details ImageImage
#Libya
#Egypt’s Sisi welcomed efforts for ceasefire deal between #GNA and #LNA
#Libya

If you just woke up, and read the news about a possible ceasefire deal in Libya, don’t hold your breath.
This is just temporary de-escalation; not solid ceasefire deal.
There are already different interpretations on demilitarisation of #Sirte & who will organise elections

It's architecture thread time! This time on Libyan seats of power and governance through the ages. Let's get into it:
The Parliament Hall in #Baida, seat of the first parliament in the MENA region, was constructed in 1964. Unlike other colonial buildings, its design is simple but powerful, reflecting a new political era. It was renovated in 2014 for use by the Constitution Drafting Assembly.
Before the unification of Libya, the Cyrenaica Parliament governed the Eastern province and operated out of this building in #Benghazi, also known as Palazzo Littorio and designed by Carlo Rossini in 1923. It was partially destroyed in WWII and eventually brought down.

Tja, ein LNA-Raketentest in #Libya sorgt derzeit bei pro-türk.Usern für ordentlich Spott, und diesmal wirklich zurecht.
LNA wollte mit einem Raketentest einer P-15 Termit-Anti-Schiffsrakete ihre Fähigkeit demonstrieren, türk.Schiffe zu versenken.
Und dann passierte das...
(1/3)
Das Ganze an sich wäre nicht mal ein Problem, denn missglückte Tests passieren immer wieder.
Dafür sind sie auch da.
ABER.
Die LNA veröffentlichte peinlichen Fotoausschnitt (s.unten), als ob es den Unfall nicht gab.
Und dann kam das Video...
Kurzum, ein PR-Desaster für LNA.
(2/3) ImageImageImage
Das Ganze könnte größeren Schaden anrichten, als nur medialen Spott.
LNA warnte lange Zeit vor Angriff auf #Sirte mit der Begründung, man könne Anti-Schiffsraketen gegen türk.Flotte starten.
Nun, anscheinend nicht.
Türk.Bereitschaft, Sirte anzugreifen, könnte also steigen.

Update #Libya :
Das libysche Repräsentantenhaus (Parlament im Osten des Landes) hat Ägypten offiziell erlaubt, in den Konflikt einzugreifen.
Ägypt.Armee bekomme das Recht, in Libyen zu intervenieren,wenn es "eine unmittelbare Bedrohung für die Sicherheit beider Länder gibt"
(1/3) Image
Gemeint ist natürlich die Bedrohung durch die türkische Intervention. Nun ist die Frage, wie es weitergeht.
Ankara erklärte zuvor, ein Waffenstillstand sei nur möglich, wenn die Haftar-Truppen aus Sirte abziehen.
Ankara will die Stadt haben.
Die LNA will sie halten.

Um #Sirte zu verteidigen, hat die LNA neues Militärgerät vor allem aus den Emiraten und Ägypten bekommen.
Zuletzt entsandte aber auch Damaskus immer mehr Militärtechnik in das Land.
Die Konkurrenz zwischen Damaskus und Ankara wird somit mittlerweile außerhalb Syriens geführt.

#SIRTE: THE TURNING POINT OF THE LIBYAN CIVIL WAR
78 years ago, a child was born in a port city of the Mediterranean Sea, Sirte, located in the south of Libyan capital, Tripoli. (1/15)
This child member of the Qadhadhfa Bedouin tribe was going to be the ironfisted ruler of his country for 42 years and change the course of his country's history. After being lynched by his people in 2011, Gaddafi left behind a nation divided in every manner. (2/15)

Update #Libya :
Frankreich stellt sich nun offen gegen die Türkei.
Macron erklärte, dass:
- Türkei gefährliches Spiel in Libyen spielt,
- Franz.Reaktion gegen Türkei hart sein werde,
- Ägypt. Initiative berechtigt sei,
- Türk.Agieren wieder beweise, dass NATO "hirntot" sei.
(1/3) ImageImageImageImage
Auch Syrien erklärte, dass Libyen zum Opfer der türkischen Aggression wurde. Damaskus unterstützt den ägypt.Vorstoß.
Auf der anderen Seite melden sich nun auch die USA.
Eine Delegation der US-AFRICOM kam in West-Libyen an, um mit der Sarradsch-Regierung zu verhandeln.
(2/3) ImageImageImage
Zugleich rüsten sich die Seiten für die Schlacht um strategisch wichtige Stadt #Sirte .
Verbände werden rangeholt.
Die LNA erklärte die Region zu einer Flugverbotszone und will jedes Flugobjekt über diesem Gebiet abschießen.
Andere Frage, ob sie das auch durchsetzt

#BREAKING: #GNA is falsely claiming that #Libya National Army has retreated from #Sirte & Al-Jufra. This is total lie. Few hours ago, these troops from 128th Infantry Battalion of #LNA based in Al-Jufra were deployed to #Sirte & they are now confronting #GNA's Islamist militias.
#BREAKING: This is a convoy from #Libya National Army's 128th Infantry Battalion which were deployed from Al-Jufra to the oil region of #Sirte 4 hrs ago. They are now protecting the area from danger of #GNA-led Burkan Al-Ghadab Operation (Volcano of Rage) forces.

Today, February 17, marks the 9th anniversary of the revolution in #Libya 🇱🇾 which resulted in the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime.

Remarkable photo from #Sirte tonight. Pro-#Gaddafi and pro-#Feb17 residents seem to commemorate the start of the Libyan revolution together.

"Footage online seems to show the capture of the “Portuguese mercenary” pilot whose fighter jet was downed by the Libyan National Army. He is seen being questioned after his plane was shot down, & later reveals his alleged name."
