Great profile of Mansour bin Zayed, the owner of Manchester City, who has been key to covert UAE military support for Haftar in Libya and Hemedti in Sudan - and whose Mubadala wealth fund recently announced "it would use a Trump family crypto venture to make a $2 billion transaction".

Together with our partners, we urge all #EU Member States & the @ec.europa.eu to:

❌halt arms transfers
❌sanction those responsible for ongoing atrocity crimes
❌suspend the trade agreement with Israel

Under the Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act.

Hundreds of thousands have marched this weekend in Paris, The Hague, Brussels and elsewhere across Europe for a cause that should enjoy broad societal consensus: to stop deliberate starvation, ethnic cleansing, genocide.

But in Germany, such broad-based mobilization remains wholly unthinkable.

Libya's fragmented & polarised justice sector suppresses fundamental freedoms, obstructs accountability.

Authorities should urgently overhaul judiciary, reform repressive legislation, end military trials of civilians, arrest ICC suspects.

Use of live ammunition without imminent threat to life or risk of serious injury violates international human rights standards

#Libya: Armed groups and quasi state-forces embroiled in turf wars, failed to protect civilians from harm during Tripoli clashes, leading to civilian casualties & destruction of objects

The Trump administration may be poised to deport an unknown number of detained migrants to Libya.

The US should not forcibly transfer migrants to Libya, where inhumane detention conditions are well-documented.
