With the chaotic scene that Libya is today, it is not possible to separate the political, security, economic and social dimensions where each one impacts hugely on the other.

Two Italians and a Canadian who were kidnapped in the south of conflict-torn Libya in September have been released and flown to Italy “in good health”, the Italian government announced on Saturday.

The leaders of the Tripoli revolutionary brigades issued a statement on Friday calling on the Presidential Council of the UN-proposed government to either commit to the Skhirat agreement or declare it as a failure.

A group calling itself “The Brigades of Revolutionaries in Libya” rallied with several armoured vehicles in Tripoli’s Martyrs’ Square late yesterday afternoon demanding “all good Libyans” reject foreign moves to resolve the country’s political crisis. Instead they should unite behind national efforts to find a solution.

Turkey is planning to reopen its embassy in Tripoli soon as a sign of support to Libya, Turkish President’s special envoy to the north African country Emrullah Isler said on Thursday, urging the international community to do the same.

The International Crisis Group says the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) signed in Skhirat last December has to be changed. In a hard-hitting and lengthy report published today, it says that as it stands it cannot be implemented.
