After the Turkish parliament’s approval of the deployment of forces in Libya, the LNA declares "a state of invasion" and calls general mobilization of ”every Libyan who is able to carry weapons”.

Egypt is trying to play the-worried-guardian-of-the-Arab-world card. Cairo was not alarmed when Iranians, Russians, and Turks entered Syria. There were also no concerns about the Assad, nor for Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq. Why now? Because Cairo & its partners have interests in Libya.

Erdoğan talked with US President Trump on phone, discussed Libya and Syria.

It has always been fun when Haftar's supporters resent the comparison between them and Assad's supporters. They have the same modus operandi, the same propaganda and ... obviously, the portraits of their leaders can be seen together.https://twitter.com/maryfitzger/status/1212664797860368384…

Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that ”any Turkish military intervention in Libya threatens Arab and Egyptian national security, which requires taking all measures to protect the Arab interests”.

An emergency session of the Turkish parliament began two hours ago to discuss a draft law that would allow sending soldiers to Libya.

One police officer was killed and three were injured when two men attacked a police post in Magas, the capital of the Republic of Ingushetia - Russian officials, media confirmed. ISIS claimed responsibility.

Пускам гръцката ERT - супер забава и концерт. Отивам на турската TRT - концерт с поканени певци, актьори, отромен оркестър. Сръбската и кипърската - същата работа. Пускам БНТ - филм от 1970-те.

Lol, the ”protesters stormed the US embassy in Baghdad” story continues Hashd succeeded in attacking the image of the Iraqi protests thanks to the badly arranged news headlines in the international media.

How do I describe 2010s? It's difficult. Of those years, 8 have been marked by the war in Syria. My life has changed and I hardly thought in 2011 that I would write a book that I would lose, but also gain people in my life. But here we’re in 2020 - we have no right to go back.

Thankfully, we have the opportunity to go deep in our understanding of the situations around the world, which means Iraq too. Follow people who can explain to you like @RashaAlAqeedi @MosulEye @LawkGhafuri @thestevennabil

This is just one of the examples of how headlines can be misleading. I can assure you, many readers consider protesters in Iraq as "US enemies" coz they have heard almost nothing about the demonstrations. For them, the protesters=Hashd`` supporters.https://twitter.com/ruslantrad/status/1212052658871308288…

I think it is wrong and unfair to pay attention when a group of militia sympathizers attacks the US embassy when dozens of protesters were killed in the same place weeks earlier without causing much resentment outside Iraq. 4/

Today we see a mix of events and terms that leads to misinformation and misperception of events in Iraq. In Iraq under "protesters" people means the anti-government demonstrations over the last three months. For foreign media, Hashd's supporters are also protesters. 3/

There has been a strong protest wave since October, but it has received moderate attention outside Iraq. Fatigue from the Middle East news is an argument pointed out by fellow journalists, but we cannot accept this as a real reason. 2/

There is a major problem with the awareness of the protests in Iraq, and this was revealed especially after the assault on the US Embassy in Baghdad by supporters of pro-Iranian militias Hashd al-Shaabi. 1/

Dozens of angry Hashd al Shaabi supporters (not protesters as media claimed) have broken into the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad. I remind you that Iraqi authorities fired on protesters who were also trying to reach the Green Zone where admin buildings are stationed.

The emergency meeting of the Arab League started an hour ago with the main and only topic - the situation in Libya. The meeting is by Egyptian request.

A number of countries have been actively involved in hostilities in Libya, but it has been hidden. Turkey has made it official and this has provoked a wave of outrage "how can Turkey do this !?" The rules have been changed long ago in Crimea and Syria and let no one be surprised.

Nissan ex-chairman Carlos Ghosn arrives in Lebanon, sources told BBC - unclear how he left Japan where he was on bail. I would be not surprised if he stays there and receives an invitation to ”help the country”

Al Arabiya reports that Haftar holds talks in Cairo ”to prevent Turkey from interfering in Libya”.
