| 2021-03-21 |
| [MIDDLEEASTEYE.NET] There have been "no indications" that around 2,000 Russian mercenaries have withdrawn from Libya, despite official calls for them to do so, according to a United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... report. The new report from UN experts warned that an embargo that had been imposed on Libya since 2011 was "totally ineffective", citing "extensive, blatant" violations by actors, including UN member states. The six experts, who were charged with monitoring the embargo on the war-torn country, said numerous actors, including private mercenaries and non-state gangs, were guilty of violations. The report said around 2,000 Russian mercenaries from the private Wagner Group had been deployed in Libya, adding to previous reports which said up to 13,000 Syrian rebels and Chadian or Sudanese fighters were in the country, acting for various sides. |
