Will Russia Attack Europe Through Libya?
Russia is reportedly preparing to install medium and long-range missile systems at the Sebha military base in southern Libya, aiming them at Europe, according to a source cited by Agenzia Nova.
The base, located in the Fezzan region under General Khalifa Haftar's control, is seen as a strategic launch site due to its proximity to European territories such as Lampedusa.
The plan, said to be in an advanced stage, is allegedly supported by Russia and Belarus.
The report claimed that Haftar, together with his son Saddam, is reportedly using the recent chaos in Tripoli to push towards the capital.
This follows the assassination of Abdulghani al-Kikli, known as 'Ghaniwa', leader of the Stability Support Apparatus, by Brigade 444 – a militia loyal to Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbaiba. The killing sparked one of the most violent escalations in Tripoli in years.
Sources claim the Russians are backing Haftar's expansion and may deploy advanced air defence systems like the Tor-M1 to protect the Sebha installation. The system, recently displayed in Benghazi, can intercept enemy missiles, drones and aircraft.
Another layer to the alleged plan includes a proposed transfer of one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, with the mediation of Turkey and possible US backing. This transfer would reportedly involve Palestinians who do not support Hamas, and those resettled in Libya could receive citizenship from Haftar in exchange for political loyalty and control of Libya's oil assets.
A second relocation, involving around 800,000 Gazans, could go to Syria under a separate US-brokered arrangement with the new Syrian leadership.
While the reports remain unverified, they have sparked speculation about regional re-alignments involving Russia, Turkey, the US, and Gulf countries.
Cyrenaican outlets have also reported Haftar's troops joining NATO's 'Anatolian Phoenix 25' exercises in Turkey. Between 1,500 and 2,000 LNA fighters are allegedly training there and acquiring Turkish drones. Tags: europekhalifa haftarlibyaMissilesRussiaSebha

Greece Eyes Libya Cooperation to Block Boats from Eastern Coast
Greece is seeking a migration agreement with Libya to reduce the rising number of irregular migrant departures from the Libyan coast, according to a report published by German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. Greek authorities report a 174% increase in crossings from Libya to Greece since the beginning of 2024, raising pressure on national and European migration systems Greek Minister of Migration and Asylum, Makis Voridis, confirmed that Athens wants a formal deal with Libyan authorities to control flows across the eastern Mediterranean. The goal is to prevent more boats from departing Libya's shores, especially from eastern areas such as Tobruk, toward the Greek island of Crete. Voridis said he hopes to visit Libya soon to begin talks. The model under consideration is similar to the 2017 agreement between Italy and Libya, which involved Italian funding and logistical support to help Libyan forces stop migrant boats and return those intercepted at sea. However, Greece currently lacks a clear Libyan counterpart and the financial leverage to influence armed groups that control much of eastern Libya's coastal territory. The report highlighted that a new migration route has emerged from Tobruk to Crete, which is now being used alongside the more familiar western Libya–Lampedusa path. Eastern Libya has become a departure point for more organized smuggling networks, operating with limited oversight. The most serious incident on this route occurred in June 2023, when the fishing boat Adriana, which departed from Tobruk, capsized near Greek waters. Around 600 migrants died in what became one of the deadliest shipwrecks in recent years. Following the tragedy, 17 members of the Greek coast guard, including the commander of the patrol boat LS-920, were charged in court for failing to assist the vessel and contributing to the outcome. Greece is calling for more EU support to address the spike in crossings from North Africa. Officials in Athens argue that Libya must be part of any serious effort to manage migration in the central and eastern Mediterranean. However, Libya's internal divisions and militia control make negotiations difficult and enforcement uncertain. Tags: Deutsche WelleGreecelibyamigration

Anti-Government Protests Sweep Western Libya for 3rd Week
For the third Friday in a row, massive crowds have taken to the streets of Libya's capital, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbaiba and the dissolution of his Government of National Unity. The protests, now entering their third week, have become one of the most sustained and serious challenges to the current leadership since it came to power in 2021. Thousands of protesters gathered in Tripoli's Martyrs' Square waving red cards, a symbolic demand for the government to step down, and chanting slogans such as 'The people want the fall of the government.' The demonstrators accuse Dbaiba of failing to deliver on his promises to improve security, fight corruption, and lead the country to elections after years of political division. The latest wave of anger was sparked by the killing of militia leader Abdulghani al-Kikli, known as 'Ghneiwa,' in mid-May. The incident led to violent clashes among rival armed groups after Dbaiba suddenly dissolved the Stability Support Apparatus, which Ghneiwa had headed. The resulting chaos revealed how deeply militias still control large parts of the capital and how little authority the civilian government actually holds. In a televised address, Dbaiba called the violence a 'shared mistake' and blamed the ongoing instability on rogue armed factions. However, many Libyans saw his words as weak and evasive. Fueling further outrage are revelations that cancer medication was imported from Iraq under pressure from militias—an admission made by Dbaiba himself, which has raised new questions about corruption and government complicity. What began in Tripoli has now spread to other cities, including Misrata, Zawiya, Sabratha, and Surman. Misrata, Dbaiba's hometown, witnessed significant protests last week, signaling that dissatisfaction is not limited to the capital. At the same time, several government ministers have resigned, suggesting that Dbaiba is losing support from within his own administration. As the protests grow in size and scope, Libya's House of Representatives has moved to form a new unified government. Lawmakers met in Benghazi this week to hear proposals from 12 candidates vying to lead the next phase of the country's political transition. Whether this move will calm public anger or further deepen divisions remains to be seen. What is clear is that Libya is at a political crossroads. With the public demanding change and institutions showing signs of fracture, the coming weeks may determine whether Dbaiba can cling to power or if the protest movement marks the end of his leadership.
