Local vote in Libya off to tense start after security incidents
Polling took place in around 50 municipalities, including the capital Tripoli, today. (AFP pic) TRIPOLI : Hundreds of thousands of Libyans are voting today in the second phase of municipal elections, held under tight security after incidents and irregularities forced delays at several stations. The elections are seen as a test of democracy in a nation still plagued by division and instability after years of unrest following the Nato-backed uprising that toppled long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Polling took place in around 50 municipalities, including the capital Tripoli, with some stations opening at 9am to serve 380,000 registered voters. A heavy police presence was deployed in the west by the Tripoli-based unity government. Since Gaddafi's overthrow, Libya has been split between the UN-recognised government in Tripoli, led by prime minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah, and its eastern rival, backed by military strongman Khalifa Haftar. After a first phase in November across 58 cities, the vote was initially scheduled in 63 municipalities – 41 in the west, 13 in the east and nine in the south. The high national election commission (HNEC) had to suspend elections in 11 municipalities, mostly in Haftar-controlled areas, due to 'irregularities' including unexplained halts in voter card distribution. Today, the commission also announced the postponement to Aug 23 of elections in seven more municipalities, mostly in the west, including four in the Zawiyah area, as well as Surman and Sabratha. The delays followed yesterday arson attacks that destroyed electoral materials in Zawiyah and Sahel al-Gharbi, 45km from Tripoli. And on Tuesday, the electoral body said a group of armed men attacked its headquarters in Zliten, some 160km east of Tripoli. It made no mention of any casualties, although the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said there were some injuries. 'These attacks, on the eve of polling day, threaten the conduct of the ongoing municipal elections and the broader democratic aspirations of the Libyan people,' UNSMIL said. 'Such criminal acts represent another grave assault on the electoral process and a blatant attempt to disenfranchise citizens, undermine their right to choose their representatives, and obstruct the democratic process,' the mission added. For Tripoli resident Esraa Abdelmomen, 36, a mother of three, the municipal elections were 'very important' because they determine who would manage the government-allocated funds. Following Gaddafi's fall in 2011, Libya held its first free elections in 2012 to select 200 members of the General National Congress. That was followed by nationwide municipal elections in 2013 and legislative polls in June 2014, which were marred by renewed violence and very low turnout. In some western municipalities, residents are voting in a local election for the first time since 2014.

Iraq starts work on mass grave thought to contain thousands of IS victims
Exhuming the bodies from Khasfa is particularly difficult as underground sulphur water makes the earth very porous. (AFP pic) BAGHDAD : Iraqi authorities have begun excavating the site of a mass grave believed to contain thousands of victims of the Islamic State (IS) group near Mosul city, the project's director told AFP today. The first phase, which was launched on Aug 10, includes surface-level excavation at the Khasfa site, director Ahmed al-Assadi said. An AFP correspondent visiting the site in northern Iraq today said the team unearthed human skulls buried in the sand. Khasfa is located near Mosul, where IS had established the capital of their self-declared 'caliphate' before being defeated in Iraq in late 2017. Assadi said that there were no precise figures for the numbers of victims buried there – one of dozens of mass graves IS left behind in Iraq – but a UN report from 2018 said Khasfa was likely the country's largest. Official estimates put the number of bodies buried at the site at at least 4,000, with the possibility of thousands more. The project director said the victims buried there include 'soldiers executed by IS', members of the Yazidi minority and residents of Mosul. Exhuming the bodies from Khasfa is particularly difficult, Assadi said, as underground sulphur water makes the earth very porous. The water may have also eroded the human remains, complicating DNA identification of victims, he added. Assadi said further studies will be required before his team can dig deeper and exhume bodies at the site – a sinkhole about 150m deep and 110m wide. Iraqi authorities said it was the site of 'one of the worst massacres' committed by IS extremists, executing 280 in a single day in 2016, many of them interior ministry employees. In a lightning advance that began in 2014, IS had seized large swathes Iraq and neighbouring Syria, enforcing a strict interpretation of Islamic law and committing widespread abuses. The United Nations estimates the extremists left behind more than 200 mass graves which might contain as many as 12,000 bodies. In addition to IS-era mass graves, Iraqi authorities continue to unearth such sites dating to the rule of Saddam Hussein, who was toppled in a US-led invasion in 2003.

Macron labels Putin ‘predator' and ‘ogre at Europe's gates'
PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'a predator' and 'an ogre at our gates'. His comments came during an interview with French broadcaster LCI on Tuesday. Macron cautioned European allies against placing trust in Putin amid ongoing tensions. 'Putin has rarely honoured his commitments,' Macron stated bluntly. The French leader accused Putin of being a persistent source of instability. 'He has constantly been a force for destabilisation,' Macron said. Macron also criticised Putin's territorial ambitions. 'He has sought to redraw borders to increase his power,' he added. The remarks followed fast-moving diplomatic efforts involving Ukraine and Russia. A potential peace summit between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is being discussed. Macron expressed scepticism about Russia's future direction. 'I do not believe that Russia would return to peace and a democratic system from one day to the next,' he said. The French president used stark imagery to describe Putin's motivations. 'Putin, including for his own survival, needs to keep eating,' Macron explained. He reinforced his warning with vivid language. 'That means he is a predator, an ogre at our gates,' Macron declared. Macron sought to reassure without downplaying the threat. 'This does not mean that France would come under attack tomorrow,' he clarified. Yet he urged vigilance among European nations. 'But of course this is a threat to Europe (...) let's not be naive,' Macron concluded. - AFP
