Not long after that, they were spotted in several locations in the Middle East too, which explains those pictures of Prigozhin with #Libyan officials. 4 ys ago Wagner backed renegade general Khalifa #Haftar 's attempt to take the capital, #Tripoli.

[3/3] This contradicts the goal set out in the German government's coalition agreement to end illegal refoulement at the #EU's external borders. We call on the German government to immediately end any cooperation with the so-called #Libyan Coast Guard - including at EU level!

Read this report and realise how complicit EU is in the gravest crimes against humanity. The UN urges the EU to stop funding these crimes. We requested to invite Commission and UN to the LIBE committee to give account and finally care for human rights.
RT @philippe_dam: You're the EU🇪🇺

A UN🇺🇳 inquiry concludes migrants are victims of crimes against humanity in #Libya, those crimes are committed by the #Libyan Coast Guards, which you support.

The report urges you…
