Tunisia oversees the Libyan border with German money
Tunisia, which suffers from the continuous incursions of men and vehicles from Libya, would have already proceeded last year to dig a very long ditch 196 km from Ras Jedir to Dahiba. But the excavation would not have been enough to stop the continuous flow of men, so that this year would receive 18 million euros to monitor the border with electronic instruments. According to press sources, Germany would have given money to Tunisia to secure it. The electronic surveillance system will serve to prevent extremists and migrants from crossing the border. Last year Germany, according to Libyan journalistic sources, would have provided 16 millions of euros in surveillance and mobile observation equipment well last year. This project would also be overseen by the US from the 2015.
Pro-Haftar demonstration
Khalifa Haftar! That's who they want the demonstrators that on Sunday have demonstrated with parades in Benghazi, Tobruk, Guba and Shahat. The request was to send away to the Sarraj (photo), to dissolve the House of Representatives and to establish Haftar.
The pro-Haftar demonstrated in Tripoli, but then they were dispersed by firearms. The number of demonstrators would not be clear, even if we speak of a maximum of a few thousand. Many did not manifest for fear, rightly, of shootings.
The mayor of Misurata was killed
In Libya there are cross-cutting signs and warnings following a murder? It would seem so, since the mayor of Misurata Mohamed Eshtewi was killed in one day with a symbolically important date: 17 December, expiration of the agreement of Skhirat and last useful day given by the ultimatum of Haftar to the illegitimate government of Tripoli for the his demobilization.
Mohamed Eshtewi was returning from the airport. He had gone to Istanbul because he was a member of a delegation. He was with the driver and his brother when the ambush happened.
It is not yet clear who the attackers were, even though many would be of the opinion that the revolutionaries and the Islamists of the city may have been. Eshtewi was considered by many to be a good man who tried to reconcile moderate and uncompromising elements in the city, as well as between Misrata and the east of the country.
