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.

🚨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.

Today: another deadly shipwreck off Lampedusa.
Two overcrowded boats capsized 22dead, 20+missing,61 survivors in shock.
As they grieve, they willface more border violence: long interrogations to criminalize them while still traumatized in hotspot.

This Friday at #Transborder_Summer_Camp, I joined a #CommemorAction for those who died at Europe’s borders and those killed by racist police violence.
We remember the missing, stand with their families,fight for justice and freedom of movement for all.
